I quit

I quit trying to come up with titles for these things, it's seriously impossible. I'll literally spend, like...five to TEN minutes sitting here trying to think of a reasonable name before I actually start writing; it's such a waste of time.

In other news, I realize now that the previous entry must have had some sort of negative effect on me and, Gar being Gar, realized it all too quickly and took immediate action on turning me around. It must have been pretty bad, because he even dragged Wally into it with him.

Wally shows up suddenly at the front door of Wayne Manor this morning, demanding entrance into the household. Diana, of course, let him come in and it only took him a fraction of a second to locate the specific hall, room, even chair in front of the fire place that I was sitting in. His sudden just..POP in front of me always manages to scare the crap out of me. I wonder HOW Bruce manages to remain completely unphased whenever Barry or Wally just suddenly appear around him. Because I sure as heck can't hear them coming.

...--but I'm getting on a rabbit trail now, um.

Anyway, Wally just materializes in front of me and announces that we're going to IHOP and I have no choice but to let him pay for me. I started to refuse, but, he had already grabbed my arm and I was half-way down the hall. Gar was waiting at the front door, gave me my coat, beanie and scarf and the three of us jumped in Wally's car and took off.

I have to admit that IHOP...definitely helped a little. Gar and Wally were being their normal goofy selves. Being around their jokes and their out-right cheeriness was just what I needed. And the sweets helped, too. Wally and Gar decided to take advantage of the "Never-ending Pancake" special (they do those on Tuesdays this time of year, apparently) and they had a contest to see who could eat the most.

Wally won. Surprise, surprise.

But, it was a close call. Gar started turning into different animals to try expanding his stomach area. ...we had a cheering crowd and everything. I wouldn't be surprised if this appeared on youtube sometime soon. The only downside is I think we also got banned from IHOP. Or at least they did. But, IHOP should think a bit more before they offer endless pancakes for just $5.00.

We went to the park for a little while, built some snowmen. Watched Wally make an army of snow angels and Gar make an army of snow animals. I snuck off and got some hot cocoa to repay Wally for getting me IHOP and, all was mostly good. It was a nice escape from the manor and...from things. Though I still find myself constantly feeling guilty whenever I laugh or...smile. Keep waiting for that snide comment to pop up whenever Gar or Wally crack a joke or do something weird and stupid. But...'course it's not coming.

Wally says he wants to do something again later this week, but he won't tell me. Looks like I'm the current target for spreading holiday cheer. And Bruce is beginning to fall under the radar, too. Why? ...Wally fearlessly hugged him when we got home.

I'm actually kind of looking forward to my next 'kidnapping'. Mn. Fingers crossed that the Christmas spirit continues to slowly try to find it's way back to me.
