Now With Some Booty

Warning: Bragging up ahead

 

Ye've been warned.

 

 

 

Today's a good day.

 

Today, I got richer.

 

 

My grandmother shoved me the job of packing all my Bionicle sets up in preparations of the Big Move to a temporary home while my current house gets a total overhaul.

 

While looking for stray pieces (and I found myself in an MOCist's dreamland) in the set boxes, I shook my Boggorak case.

 

There was a familiar rattle.

 

Unscrewing the cap off, I discovered a horde (mind the pun) of coins and notes in the box.

 

Then, I remembered.

 

 

It was after a good while of saving last year, and a narrow shave from my brother who tried to pilfer my piggy bank, it was decided that I would split up my money and hide them. What better hiding places were there than empty Bionicle set boxes?

 

I wanted to shake the entire box, but it took a procedure of shaking the last remaining ten boxes to reveal a wealthy stash of money, with two fifty-dollar notes in the loot.

 

I was happy.

 

 

Then, mail that I had been waiting for (ever so patiently) arrived.

 

In a large brown envelope were two certificates and a letter of congratulations - and two cheques of two hundred quid each.

 

So, I guess I can prove my folks wrong. They discouraged me to write, but my writings brought in money and pride for members of the family who knew of the good news.

 

 

Now... what am I going to do with it?

Woah, that's great, <dd>! Finding stuff you put away ages ago is fun (buried treasure, anyone?), especially if it's money, and then you got payment for your writing – awesome! Bravo! ^_^

 

As for what to do... hoard it. Er, I mean...

But you say your parents discourage you from writing why?

 

They said that I spent too much time playing and not enough time on my studies.

 

It was hidden treasure, ToM, and it was fun! ^_^

 

Now, TT, don't let the heart grow envy. *pat pat* You're going to get more pay than me and much sooner too. I gotta wait, so I'm trying to scrimp and make myself useful. :lol:

 

And cougars don't look good in green fur.

Sure, <day>, I get about twice as much as that every month, but three quarters of it is eaten up by household expenses. :annoyed: Food, rent, bills ...

 

And you obviously haven't seen Schizo's Percy.

 

Ah well. At least the local toy store is having a massive sale on leftover Piraka. :bigsmile:

Percy is the dog Vahki, right?

 

Mm, leftover Piraka. That makes me think of pie. :drooling: Pie in Finnish is piirakka.

ROFL! Poor Tuan!

 

And... who's Percy?

*thinks* OH! That creature. Yep, met him in Schizo Kaita's blog. Not extremely friendly.

 

I have no room for Bionicle sets... (it's a blessing, yet a painful blessing) so, what am I to do with it? Hmm...
