The Story of a Snow Day
Once upon a time there was a girl. Her name was Jacqui. She lived in Victoria, a generally sunny, mild climate...until one fateful day. That day was November 26, 2006. The clouds rolled in! The temperatures plummeted...all the way to that dreaded freezing mark! And it started. Snow began to fall on the quiet UVic campus. No wait, I lied. It wasn't quiet...but regardless...the snow began to fall. It accumulated...and snowed more overnight! Jacqui woke up at 7:30am to get ready to head to her first class, when alas, the news report said, "SNOW DAY!!"
"Eureka!", she called out...actually she didn't because she'd wake up Dave and Sonya who were catching up on sleep from a late night recording session. So she stayed in her pajamas until 10am.
Finally, Jacqui convinced her friends, Dave and Sonya, to go for a walk in the snow. They put on their warm clothes and scarves and mittens and proceeded on our walk. They locked the front door and began on their way.
After finally deciding on a location for our snowy walk, they began on the pathway to the Mystic Vale, a nice forested area on the edge of campus. They braved the wind and snow all the way there!
Before they had even left the friendly cluster village of the UVic campus, Dave (in true Johnstone style) decided to pick a fight...a snowball fight that is. Too bad he has terrible aim...and his brute strength could not even come close to rivaling that of Sonya's!
Soon, Dave realized what an awful snowball fighter he was and gave up. So they made their way to the Mystic Vale. The snow sparkled as it lay suspended on the tree branches high above them, and in the drifts below their cold, cold feet. They trudged through the forest for hours under the beautiful snow covered trees.
After some time had passed, and some venturing off of the trails, we made it down the hill into the ravine, and stumbled across a bridge and a small pond. Though they were thirsty, they knew not to drink the water, but the did take in the breathtaking view for a few minutes.
They also felt the need to pose for some classic arms-length shots to commemorate the occasion!
At that point, the group decided to venture up the wooden stair case to the top of the ravine, where at the top they found....
*GASP*...a giant field filled with snow!
By this point, Dave had forgotten how much he sucks at throwing snowballs, and picks another snow fight with the girls. Sonya kicked his ass again, while Jacqui took picture after picture of the winter wonderland.
Dave then thought to himself, "I think it would be a great idea to try to beat up Jacqui"...and so he ran after her and pushed her into the snow...and proceeded to throw snow in her face until her cheeks began to burn from the cold.
She was so helpless that she couldn't even fight back!
But, being the kind person that she is, Jacqui forgave Dave and they made up with a big uncomfortable hug. Dave is rather bony after all!
And then, for some reason, which I don't think anyone really understands, Jacqui touched Dave's breast. The memory of this alone makes Jacqui want to vomit! (haha...just kidding Dave)
So, Dave figured, if he got away with beating up one girl, he might as well try to beat up another girl. This time he went after his girlfriend, Sonya, who as mentioned earlier, is much better at snowball fights than him! She also ended up in a pile of snow, cold and covered in the frozen flakes.
Then, there is an absence of pictures, because Dave lost his phone somewhere in the snow, and they spent a while looking for it. They never did find it, but as they back-tracked through the forest trails towards home, they found a dog. He had no tags, so we had to call the dog shelter to come and pick him up. So, Jacqui sat outside with the dog for an hour before anyone could come and pick him up. They became friends!
THE END!
