❄December 19, 2021 - Diary 4 - 6❄

 Oof - sorry, last week of school b4 winter break, but now I'm off!

I have a bunch of diaries to make up on what I missed:

the light turn on again
covering the room in their
bright
white
light

i feel my body spinning
turning more times
than ever 
before

my feet land
on the ice
controlled by a force
moving me around
leaping
spinning
i am
free

-

today is the day
of my competition
townies and capers
some skating for fun
others
not
i'm a little
terrified

all too soon
it's my turn
i step on the ice
it's over before my fear can even register
i wait for the results

'3rd Place - Polly Lace!'
people clap and whistle
'2nd Place - Nora Elario!'
people clap more and whitstle more
'and 1st place...'
a loud drumroll
echoes through the stadium
'Molly Lace! This is the first time we've had an all-capers podium in 7 years!'
i sag in defeat

-

a competiton official comes up to me
after podium
'are you Yuki?'
she asks

i nod
i dont trust my words
'you were amazing.'
not good enough to win

'you would've placed about 5th'
she hands me a small trophy
a large number 5
mocking me
'thanks'
i whisper

i stare at the number 5 long after
she leaves
the longer i stare
the okay - er
i feel

5th place

not bad
actually
pretty good
actually

top 5

not bad
actually
pretty good
actually

🖤November 14, 2021 - Chalk🖤

 I remember mentioning that Lela's greatest fear is CHALK . Why? That's exactly what I'm about to explain: Lela is normally pretty tough. It takes a lot to rattle her. And she has never forgotten a dance. She executes all the moves flawlessly, remembers everything, and she's one of the best ballet dancers in the Town. She has forgotten her dance once, though. The was 9, and in the Sunny Smiles Dance Company Winter Performance. They were doing a special version Waltz of the Snowflakes scene from the Nutcracker, and Lela had been cast as a new addition to the scene, the Snow Queen. All the snowflakes fawned over her as they all danced around the stage. She was thrilled. Then came the night of the performance. She came out just a bit late, and didn't do her best performance. Her spins were wobbly, her arms bent when they weren't supposed to be, nothing was going right. And then it got worse. You see, SSDC had the brilliant idea of using chalk as snow, instead of pa...

May 13, 2021 - Rebus

 I made this really cool rebus. Try to figure it outon your own then you an check it using my explanation below: (🐋 -al +n )   (l+  🧊 c = f  ) (5 5 5   f = g) ( ♂ -bo   +ou)    ( 🍋+s) ,  (🎂c = m)   (🦵 -g +m/a + de) ! whoo! This one is tricky.  let's start with the first group/word;  🐋 -al +n whale - al = whe whe + n = when l+  🧊  c = f l + ice = lice lice (c = f) life 5 5 5 = fives fives (f = g) gives ♂ -bo   +ou boy - bo = y y + ou = you 🍋+s = lemons     🎂 = cake (c = m) make     🦵 -g +m/a + de leg - g = le m/a = m on a = moa le + mona + de = lemonade Translation: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Funny spin-offs: When life gives you lemons, keep them, because, hey - free lemons! When life gives you lemons, squirt someone in the eye. When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave the world wondering how you did it. When life hands you lemon...
