When I got home from my parents' house tonight my roommates and future roommate were sitting by our new fire bowl/pit thing.  One roommate mentioned that he had been hearing rustling around in my room the past three days I've been gone.  I pondered as I walked in the house.  I laid a few things down on the kitchen counter and continued on my way to my bedroom.  As I climbed the stairs I could hear the noises my roommate had told me of.  There was some rustling around and what I thought was growling.  I proceeded to open my door and a bear leaped out of my room and pounced on me!  It had to have been hungry if it was in there for three days.  We rolled down the stairway in a fierce struggle.  I tried to extract my pocket knife but dropped it in the midst of our tiff.  Once we finally hit bottom I was on top of the bear hitting it in the face as hard as I could.  By now everyone rushed inside to witness the vigorous activities taking place.  They all watched in a mixture of horror, amazement, and hunger.  Suddenly, during my barrage, the bear clasped my fist with its paw and head butted me.  I flew back against the wall hard knocking down some pictures hanging in the hallway.  Everyone gasped as the bear leaped at me once more, fangs bared.  I swiftly kicked the bear in the neck and grabbed hold around its head.  After a few seconds of desperate struggle I finally managed to twist, breaking his neck.  We proceeded to cook the bear for dinner. I made a rug out of its fur and died it white.  It's a really nice rug.

Today was quite a long day at work, eleven hours to be precise.  The day was long mostly because I received everything I needed to clean all at once!  Poor Alex had every single utensil and container that catering uses and had to wash much of it more than once.  I suppose this would be typical of a weekend before the Fourth of July.  While I was hosing down my floor at the end I found an awesome frog (no lie)!  It jumped onto the door and kept hopping up!  I managed to capture it and its feet were really sticky.  I had never seen a frog like it before.  I opened my mouth to greet it and it snatched my tongue with its own.  It stared into my eyes for a bit and then the frog's eyes went bright red.  I felt like I had been jolted with 1KWs of electricity and fell unconscious.  I woke up to Alex shaking me asking if I was alright.  When I opened my eyes, it was so strange, everything looked as if I was looking through a magnifying glass from a short distance and my peripheral vision was much wider than usual.  Alex told me that my eyes were unbelievably swollen.  As I reached to touch my "infected" eyes I heard a very annoying and very stimulating buzzing sound.  I turned and looked directly at a fly as Alex swatted it away.  All of the sudden we heard a loud crash come from the tub room where he cleans.  We rushed over to see what had happened and found a complete mess.  Everything was everywhere due to a fallen rack.  Alex sighed and asked how me how we would get this day over with.  I shrugged, crouched to a squat with my hands on the ground, and leaped over the eleven foot wide mess!  We were both astonished at what I had just done.  In unison, we said our day was long enough and decided to leave the mess.  Rather than jump I hugged the wall to get over the mess.  Alex shouted, "What the hell Kyle!?"  I was climbing sideways a long the wall!  This was incredible.  While we walked to the break room I told him of my encounter with the mysterious and awesome frog and he listened in awe.  When we sat down he asked if he could try something.  When I gave him my consent he through a potato chip at me.  Instantly, I lashed out my tongue and snatched the chip out of mid-air!  Seconds later the same frog came hopping in through the door we entered and jump onto the table.  It gave Alex and myself each a glance of acknowledgement and proceeded to turn on the CD player with its tongue.  Some rockin tune came on and we all started dancing and playing air guitars (except the frog).  What a party we had.

Oh man, I almost missed updating today!  It's 11:59, I hope I can finish in less than a minute!  I had a great class today!  Today was the in-class midterm essay.  We were even allowed to prepare a draft to read off of and copy into the little blue book.  It was about advertisements for voluntary military recruitment.  I filled out nine and a half pages!  I was on a roll.  It was also quite possibly my greatest essay in terms of the proper way of writing: format, style, consistent voice, you get the idea.  Anyway, she took us into another room one at a time to go over the essays and find mistakes to revise for another grade at the end of the semester portfolio.  She was very happy with my essay and I felt very good about myself.  While I was walking down the hall I looked through the essay for comments that she had written.  On every page there were messages that looked as if they were written in blood or something.  Some read; THE LIES THAT FOLLOWED THEM WILL HAVE THEIR REVENGE ON YOU!, THE SUFFERING CAUSED WILL RECOIL UNTO THOSE WHO REVEAL THE SECRETS!!!, and finally, YOU WILL DIE PRECISELY AT MIDNIGHT THIS DAY!!! Wow, I thought to myself, that was pretty wei...
