Dinner at Davinci with Judy, Tracy and Larry

20th of November, Thursday

When I stepped outside today, our street was beautiful. Everything was covered in deep, white snow. It was so pretty. And because I was so impressed by the surroundings, I didn't notice the cold. I took out my ski jacket, my warmest coat already, plus I wore the Russian hat my sister gave me, which can protect one from a winter in Moscow. And it's just November. Still, this much snow is nothing compared to what's west of here in Buffalo. It snowed 7 ft in the last few days there, and everything stopped working. Traffic, transportation, work. Everybody's just trying to get rid of all the snow.
  In Creative Writing today, our topic was flash fiction. It's the short version of short stories. They often have a word limit, which in today's example was 6. We had to write a six word story in a few minutes in class, and everyone cam eup with something great. Often sad or funny, but sometimes inspirational or deep.
  Once I started thinking in 6 word stories, I couldn't stop. I kept writing them untill I got home, 3 hours later. These are some of the best ones I came up with today:

Promised he'd love forever. He lied.

Cake gone. Diabetic roommate. Calling police.

There are no unicorns. Feeling depressed.

Santa is actually my parents? What?

Died but her heart lived on.

My mute child says "Hi Mom!"

Left your knife in my back.

Last man alive hears a scream.

One short of Guiness World Record.

No makeup hides the ugly within.

I'm a murderer, not a vegetarian.

Too cool for school. Failed grade.

But I wrote like 50 more. Even at the concert in Select Choir, I couldn't stop. A college orchestra visited us, and they gave us a 1,5 hour long show. The whole music department was there. I listened to their music, and wrote my stories. After the concert, we were free to go home.
  Larry picked me up at 5:30. We went to this Italian place called Davinci. It's a very nice restaurant, real Italian, with no pizza. We had some pasta while we talked. Such a merry company. We joked around the whole time. It's always funny to hang out with them, they have a great sense of humor. It was hard to believe we only spent 2 hours there, time flies fast if you're having fun. Thank you, Judy, Tracy and Larry for the dinner, it was really awesome, I enjoyed it a lot!!! <3
 

Snow falling outside of school, like a fairy tale.
