We have about 12 of those in my school, and they rarely work.
Weird people.
We have plenty of those in my school, too. It just happens that one of those weird people is my friend. His name is Aidan, or Aedan, or something of the sort.
It just so happens that Aidan and I were roaming around the halls, and we had decided to walk down to the second floor from our starting point at the sixth floor via the escalators. As I walked down the not-working-escalators, I heard a weird thumping noise. (we were the only ones there, so it couldn't be anyone else)
Aiden: thump...thump...thump
Me: turns around. Dude, what are you doing?
A: Oh, me? I'm walking down the escalators. thump...thump
Me: Then why the hell are you jumping down each step?
A: Oh, well, my shoes'll get ruined if I walk down normally. The raised surface of the steps will mess up the bottom of my shoes.
Me: ....
A: thump...thump...thump
Me: ...All right, dude. Whatever. I'll meet you at the auditorium. I walk off.
A: Wait! thump...thump... Don't leave me! Stop running!

Well, the sad thing was that I wasn't running. However, I didn't ditch him, and I waited at the bottom of the last escalator like a good friend. ^_^
As you can see, I have strange-ish friends.
NYC does strange things to people. I hope I don't fall prey to those things.
Well, anyway, back to the main topic of hippos, oftentimes called "Hippo-FAT-umus" in the vernacular.
Here is a picture of the rarity:
ENJOY!

Couldn't you draw a better looking hippo? I mean, I know they're ugly and all in real life, but seriously, make them look cuter in cartoon. I hate this picture-makes me want to gag just looking at it.
ReplyDeleteThere. Today, my friends told me I should be more assertive sometimes (well, they HINTED at it . . . I think, I wasn't sure exactly what they were going for) so I'm exercising my new assertiveness on your blog.
Hello, by the way. You know who I am. :D
Oh, and what up with the whole shady "hood" thing? You said NYC does strange things to people and you hope you don't fall prey to that. Well boy, let me tell ya something: I think you already have.
ReplyDelete"homies have been brought to the hood" - I mean, honestly, what is UP with that? And can you please, please, please get rid of word verification? It's oh so annoying.
Sorry if I'm being nagging and crabby, but that's just how I'm feeling at the moment, so naturally my writing will come out that way. It's a talent of mine, as I'm sure you realize by now. I'm just an extremely stressed (and thus crabby) high school senior at the moment. Sorry. "When the going gets tough, the tough gets..." Eh, what the heck. Why bother, I'm not feeling it today.
