To be honest, I have no opinion on flowers.
But this one time, Nicholas brought home some flowers.
Naturally I figured they were for me so I went to check them out. Turns out they were for Pokin.
So I’ve decided I still have no opinion on flowers.
And then, just like that our France trip was over and one morning I found myself on a bus shuttle headed for the Marseille airport.
I decided I wanted the window seat.
So I took it.
At least Nicholas still had the privilege of sitting beside me. Plus I reminded myself about the train incident. I deserved the window seat this time.
I was excited to go on my first european train ride.
I thought I’d be writing all about the scenic country side and how Nicholas and I were bonding over our travels together.
Instead I’m writing to say that Nicholas stuck me in a net.
That’s right. My supposed best bear bud stuck me in a net for our first-ever-train-ride-together-in-europe.
There will be payback.* *
After my near brush with death, I found myself in a country home in Uzes.
Since I couldn’t get wifi in my room for gaming, I was forced instead to climb bushes, drink hot chocolate and sit by the pool. I guess that’s not such a hard life.
In an olive bush:
Sipping hot chocolate:
Chill-laxing by the pool:
There I was, with my best bear bud and a car full of other humans driving from Thonon to Uzes across the country of France.
I was being a responsible bear and I buckled in. But there we were, in the middle of nowhere at 3:00am in the morning when the car blew out a tire.
I just tried to pretend like it didn’t happen and tried to go back to sleep but you must understand a bumpy road with a blown tire is very uncomfortable for a small bear like me.
If it had happened when we were still actually on the highway like we were the previous 5 hours of the journey I wouldn’t be writing this post but thankfully we had just gotten off the highway and so it just meant we ruined the car driving metal on gravel the rest of the way to our destination.
So instead I get to write about the time Nicholas almost killed me.
Well I had nothing better to do since they didn’t have wifi for gaming so I took Nicholas’ boarding pass.
Serves him right for not getting me my own seat on the plane.
I like games where I can do takedowns so I play Deus Ex. And then I takedown Nicholas.
I play space games as Commander Sumi Shephard in Mass Effect.
I like to do leaps of faith and I jump off Nicholas’ head while playing Assassin’s Creed.
Right now I play a pandaran in Mists of Pandaria. I go by the handle, OsoSumi. I think I’m better looking than that panda. But he will do. At least he’s a bear.
I especially like game consoles with buttons because I can press them. My favourite button on console is the “x” because Nicholas got me addicted to pressing ‘attack’ for him in Final Fantasy. What can I say, I’m a helpful bear. For this reason I am trying to convince Nicholas to buy me an X-Box. I even created a wish list on Amazon.com to remind him. I added a Nintendo DS to that list because it’s almost my size.
Maybe it’s time to remind him of that list.
Nicholas has to work so that we can keep gaming, so to pass time sometimes I will nap. Or I will play with his my toys. Here I am with my juggling balls. I’m pretty good at it. And anyway, it doesn’t matter even if I’m not because I just make Nicholas pick up the juggling balls that fall. Sometimes I sit on my captain chair. And then I nap some more.
If Nicholas leaves chocolate out I will eat it. And when we run low I add it to my wish list and send that to Nicholas.
Chocolate, check. Passport, check. Human to carry me, also check.
Let oso many adventures begin!
Hi I’m Sumi. I’m a spirit bear. I like hot cocoa. And gaming. And skype video chatting with my fans. Like you.
