This Is A Completely Made Up Post. Have Fun!

Yesterday. A day I will forever remember fondly. Why, you ask? Well, I'll tell you.

It started out normally enough. I was sleeping in my bedroom. All of a sudden, my ninja clock went off. It started to karate chop me and beep shrilly. I finally found the snooze button, after chasing it all around the room, it's maniacal laughter audible throughout the house. I walked into my sister's room to find her still asleep in her cage. She was such an angel when she was asleep. Literally. She had a halo and everything. It was only when she was awake that the red tail snaked out of her back, twitching eagerly, and the horns materialized in her thick, curly dark hair. Red and brown actually wasn't such a bad combination...

I went downstairs, leaving the devil-child to her usual dreams of maiming people and stealing their souls. Everything in the house was already awake, and angry. My dog barked at me, sending his golden coins all across the room as he made for me to give me a big sloppy kiss. The toaster oven was sighing again. "Clara, must you insist on having that frightful alarm clock? It always startles me out of a peaceful sleep, and then I cannot perform properly. I insist you get rid of it this instant!" All across the kitchen the appliances and animals were agreeing... heartily. "Hey, hey, you guys!" I managed to calm them down, somewhat. "The ninja is one of us too. Be nice, will you? Remember when you first came here? Remember how everyone else welcomed you into the family, and was nice to you, and now look. You're all friends. Think of how the ninja feels. The minute I bring him home you are all suspicious because he's not a "classic" like you! Just because he's not twenty years old doesn't mean he isn't as good. We need to make him feel welcome."

Everyone agreed, reluctantly. I shook out my hair, feeling it snap into it's usual position after a troubled sleep. I tried to comb it with my mind, but I could only get the left side tamed before I got dizzy. I guess the mental effort was more than it seemed. Oh well. I grudgingly took the hair brush offered to me by my cat, and wandered into the bathroom. That was when I got my first surprise of the day, though it certainly wasn't my last.

On the rug, between the Jacuzzi and the sauna, was an enormous present, wrapped in gold paper that reflected the daylight. Practically blinded, I groped around for the card to see who it was for. Finally finding it, I opened up the modest card, which was just a manila square folded in half. Opening the thick, creamy paper, I was suddenly showered in confetti. I opened my mouth to gasp in surprise, but the confetti went it it immediately. This was my second surprise. The little pieces of (seemingly) paper floating around were edible! They tasted delicious, like raspberries and sweet cream. No, it was more like the best ice cream in the world now. And now it was pizza. The flavors just kept changing.

When my head had cleared enough to remember where I was, I looked down at the card. No longer the plain manila it had been before, it was now covered in swirling, moving pictures. They were simple ink drawings, but I think that's what made them beautiful. The card was addressed to me!

Come back tomorrow to find out what happens... and what is with that huge golden box?

Yes, that is a shameless attempt to get more people to read my blog. I just hope it works. XD
