Nother bit...yes yes, I know, Delays delays...*points* I blame the concussion...

Mmm...trees lots of trees and oo look! A river! Yay for water. Well I don't know about you but apparently it's good to have water when you're wondering about in some trees, not that I had anything to boil the water in and therefore wouldn't drink it but still,....I could go swimming.
Okay, I moved on from the river towards what appeared to be an opening in the trees that had sprung up about me when I hadn't noticed. Yes! I had defiantly found an opening I noted proudly as I reached it and immediately squinted in the bright sun that danced in my face and I emerged from within the shadows of the surrounding trees. Okay, so it wasn't exactly brilliantly bright sunshine but it still hurt my sensitive eyes so one eye closed while the other squinted effectively letting me see through what most wouldn't have wanted to. But that still didn't stop me from running right into a big white thing that had suddenly popped up infront of me.
Ker thud. Mm..I'm beginning to think that I should save myself the trouble of falling next time and just sit here for the rest of the day. Screw trying to find someone, the grass apparently wanted my company more.
So me being the tiniest bit curious as to what had sent me to the ground this time I looked up only to come face to face with the deepest bluest eyes that I had ever seen. Eyes that happened to be attached to a big white horsey face with the rest of the creature following, staring down at me curiously. It blinked. I blinked back. Then it shook it's head and looked at me as if to say 'what are you doing here?'. Not that it did, but my imagination works fine, thank you.
I edged away. Big things made me uncomfortable especially if those big things were horses. I had never particularly like the creatures ever since the first time I had ridden one and somehow ended up in a lake. To say the least it wasn't among my favourite experiences.
So after we finished exchanging 'what are you doing here and why aren't you running in terror' looks I had finally regained my wits and mumbled a "did you get the licence plate of that penguin that hit me?" as I unwisely stood up and dusted myself off. Not that my pants weren't already completely grubby and dust covered before I had fallen for the second time, though there was grass in my hair. But that's a given considered that my hair liked to eat things..you know, things...raisins, small forest animals, children, my friend Ben's hand... Hey! Don't look at me like that! It's not my fault he was feeding it raisins, I told him not to feed it but he wouldn't listen. So after my hair was de-weeded I promptly got a white runny nose shoved in my face. Thump. And I was back on the ground. Yep, really considering sitting here for the rest of the day and saving myself another trip to the grass.
"What do you want horse!?" I demanded of it peevishly while blowing a stray strand of hair out of my eyes. It, being a horse just looked at me and snorted. If I didn't know better I would say that it was laughing at me.
"Great" I grumbled to myself "stuck in the middle of a nowhere that can't exist in a place that I know talking to a crazy horse that does nothing but laugh at me..Some help you are!" The white creature snorted again and promptly started munching my hair. There's that laughter again.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" I told it crossly trying to pull my poor abused hair out of reach "It likes to eat things.." The horse then decided that my clothing was much better tasting, what with all the paint, grease, and sawdust hovering between the fibers why wouldn't it be, so it started to nibble at my shirt. "Stupid horse" It reminded me of a dog that I once had, it would eat anything including my broccoli stems. I loved him, yes, but he was about the stupidest animal I had ever known. 100 pounds and it was still afraid of cats.
Hey wait....I thought my butt was thoroughly planted in the grass and mud, I was now standing upon my feet where the horse had pulled me and stumbling after it seeing as it still had a hold of my dingy shirt. Great! Now I'm in the middle of nowhere being kidnaped by a white horse that likes to laugh at me. Yes, this wasn't exactly my day, I should have known when I woke up and couldn't find the alarm clock that had started beeping. Bad omen that.
