At the Beach

                So, it’s the first of December, and therefore, I get to write about – OH GOODNESS I CAN’T DO THIS I’M JUST – okay. I definitely just started writing, stopped, started again, and the stopped again. I’ve just been watching videos, ever since I got home. I realize that I need to do the two commentaries, but I’ve just been so distracted!
                Oh, today, I was going write a parody of Kitty Johl’s college essay. Now, before you yell at me in indignant rage about how I shouldn’t mock other people’s college essays, she was the one that wanted to turn it into a comedy in the first place. Actually, I’m not going to do a very good job because I have like, heart palpitations right now.
                Oops, actually I closed the document and cannot pull it up again. Maybe I’ll just do it from memory. Or I could write a character sketch. Hey, that sounds more fun. Oh my goodness I have a viewer from Singapore. I’m pretty sure that was the very first person from Singapore ever (to read my blog). Although I have so many pictures, I’m not sure that it’s my writing that’s attracting them. Okay, today I will legitimately put on a picture. Not just because I randomly decided to, but because it will pertain to my blog. Also yes, this is a guy. Of my imagination.

                He skipped on ahead in his pale pink cardigan, twirling as he breathed in the crisp, salty air. He stretched his arms out toward the sea, and embraced the open and vast sea. He turned around to see his best friends farther behind, grinning just as broadly as he was. He waved at them to hurry up, and danced in place. He raised his hand in a peace sign and smiled cheekily. He loved the beach! Even if it was the dead of winter and the beach was rocky instead of soft, white sand, he still loved the sound of waves lapping at the shore, the cry of the seagulls, the breeze carrying sea salt rustling his hair. He strolled back and forth, waiting for the others to arrive. He watched his shoes step on the rocks, and felt the unevenness of the ground beneath him.
Suddenly, a glimmer caught his eye. A tidal pool! He giggled with glee, and scurried over to it. He crouched down and peered into the shallow pool. He put his two closed fists against his face, and prepared to see the little critters that lived in that tiny world. He surveyed it, but was disheartened. There wasn’t anything besides kelp! Usually, he could see at least a little fish or two. He squished his cheeks together in a pout, as he stared down at the empty pool. Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw movement. He took a closer look, and then gasped, elated! It was a tiny little crab, the same color as the rocks. He gingerly picked the little thing up, and placed it on an open palm.
“Hi little guy,” he cooed at the tiny crustacean. “Aren’t you just the cutest little thing! Too bad you don’t come in pink, that would make you ever cuter,” he added, watching the animal scurry to and for on his hand.
“Hey, what are you looking at?” His best friend finally reached where he was crouching.
“Look, isn’t it cute?” He gushed, completely enamored with his tiny new friend. He held his hands up to his face and gave his best friend an adorable puppy-eyed gaze. “It’s such an itty bitty thing, so adorable!”
You’re adorable,” his friend returned, amused at his childish friend. “But let the little guy return to his home now,” he added. “You don’t want him to miss home now, do you? I know I would be sad if someone took you away from me.”
He puffed out his cheeks. “He hasn’t been away that long yet!” He countered, but nevertheless gently set the crab back down on a rock, and watched it crawl away. He smiled at his friend. “There, he’s free now! And I’m right here with you.”
His friend poked him on the nose. “And that’s how it should be.” He reached down and pulled the him up into standing position. “Let’s go see what the rest of them are up to.”
With a smile on his face, he walked side by side with the best person in the world. I’m so lucky! He gazed at the smooth face of the boy next to him, giggled a bit, and then ran forward to greet the rest of them.
