The Exploits of Puff The Magic Dragon

[xp_phoenix]

This morning I discovered a pyramid of canned goods on the floor, all of the spices in the spice cabinet rearranged by taste with corresponding post it note labels commenting on them, and two notes on the toaster, one reading:

"I LOVE YOU ALL IS FORGIVEN <3333" and one right below it saying,

"The bubbles say the White Rabbit strikes at midnight, and all is forgiven by me, too."

Since the hand-writing was made by three separate people, most of whom I can recognize since I've been grading your papers for years, this leads me to conclude that a few people were busy after coming home last night.

NOT IT! I was fine by the time I got home except for the sticky hair!

I’m sorry. I built it when I was still in the Happy Haze. I wanted to build a robot head for the pillow robot I was fixated on, and I guess I kind of went overboard with it before going to bed. It was a bad robot head attempt if it turned into a pyramid. Did it reach the ceiling?

I'm 99.999% positive that I left the bubble note.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

I believe you. :)

How did you get the sticky hair?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I think after I called you guys I took a nap under a table. I dunno.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

It was very close. And it was meticulously arranged by the color of the label. Very skillful, I must say :)

Ah but what does it mean?

[x-meggan.livejournal.com]

It means that I was thinking of the song White Rabbit. It might also mean that there was a White Rabbit hanging out in the hallucinations, preparing to grab the toaster flowers at midnight and the bubbles were singing a warning.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Okay...that makes sense now.

[x-meggan.livejournal.com]

Do I need to come help put all the skillfully arranged by label cans back up? I will if you want me to.

[x-network.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. I think the love note to the toaster may have been me.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

It's okay, I already took care of it. :)

Thanks for the offer, though.

I bought a few extra pastries from Count Donutula's if you want to help me finish them off. They're normal flavored, I think. Unless they slipped in the plum flavored one while I wasn't looking.

So what did the toaster do to you that you needed to forgive it for?

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Sticky hair? Seriously?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Seriously! Sticky, like I washed it in like, syrup but not maple because that'd have smelled good. It was just gross.

[x-meggan.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, please! I'll be right there to get one!

[x-network.livejournal.com]

It's a long story. It never used to work for me, ever, it'd either burn my toast or just not work period.

...ok, it's not a very long story after all. :)

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

There are... so many things I could say to this. I will refrain.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Couldn't you just commune with it and like, convince it to work right? Or trick it?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

You got NO room to talk, old man.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about talking? I'm mocking.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

It was the stubborn toaster, I believe. It would not listen to her. ;)

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Mocking requires talking unless you're Artie.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Wow, a toaster with a mind of its own. That's only a little frightening... happy late birthday, by the way.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Lookit me typing on the computer. Also, I'm very good with creative hand gestures.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

I think it is the mansion. It tends to breed things with the stubborn streak, yes?

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Very true. Like that coffeemaker that keeps giving me raspberry steamers whenever I go to the sink to get a glass of water.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, 8===D

so there.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that's not appropriate for the eyes of young children.

[x-network.livejournal.com]

What Yvette said. :(

But it sounds like we've made amends, as long as it believes my note I guess.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Can the toaster read the note?

[x-network.livejournal.com]

Well, my memory's a little hazy, but I think I may have hugged the toaster while saying that when putting the note on.

It was a strange night.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Okay... we'll leave it at that.

[x-artie.livejournal.com]

I couldn't make the labels stay if I used my powers. I'd close my eyes and bam! They were gone. So some of that was me.
