Paul’s “G”odiva Spot

1. It is the coldest time of the year, and my most favourite,

2. People are a lot grumpier this month than in any other month, and this is characterized by the looks of murder people seem to give me when I am rejoicing loudly at how cold it is and how much I like it!

3. A time when people rarely wear pigtails (but what would I know about that?).

4. Snowdays are most likely to happen in this month, and they are lots of guilt-free fun!

5. Falling snowflakes are edible; the snow already on the ground isn’t!

6. There are three types of gloom people seem to experience: contagious (i.e. they catch it from others), constipated (i.e. too frustrated to let it out), and blatant sobbing (i.e. standing in one spot with your feet turned in, and crying out loud, yelling for mommy and for the snow to stop falling).

There is a certain place which will be getting a visit from…a certain person, though he is very much tight-lipped as to when (I know you all know where!). Why is this person doing this? Well, all I know is, it is being called a surprise attack. How do I know all of this? Because I am an expert sleuth, who can smell BUNDT CAKE from far away! And speaking of Bundt cakes, I just found out what kind of fabric softener I like to use! Yes. I am now into dryer sheets!!!

Last Friday, I had my first experience (ever) with a phenomenon you all call SNOW DAY! I had never in my life experienced this, and I must say, it is rather exciting! I came bursting desperately into school at 6:32AM, just as the snow was gently falling, only to hear a few hours later that the school was closing down on account of the great snow storm which swept accross Toronto and its facsimile surrounding areas. Now here is where I wish I had taken my friend Petunia’s advice and bought a snorkel!!!! I was desperately, and gleefully mark you, zwiddling through the snow, snow dust kicking up in my wake, only to encounter huge snow banks, which required some chiselling to get through them. And I also finally figured out where yellow snow comes from! Yes! I finally caught the golden syrup fairy in action, pouring globs of golden syrup into piles of snow, and then, flit away!!! I saw all of this of course after I was nearly hit on the head by a falling icycle!

There is one person so far that knows of the impending attack, other than me of course, and SHE is not talking! TEN THOUSAND WHITE HORSES COULD NOT DRAG IT FROM HER!!! And it is NOT Jeanette!!!  So do not try to figure it out. And, I am not telling either, so do not ask. I know that Jeanette will be starting her prying techniques soon, and I am lookign forward to it!  Let’s put it this way:  Seeing that you all are there, and I am here, you cannot hold me down and threaten me with good chocolate. And speaking of chocolate, I have to go now as I have a lesson with the great Carol Vaness today! So now, I have to go find a book on how to be a grown-up…for DUMMIES!
