Chapter One: School's Out For Summer

AUTHOR'S NOTES: This isn't poking fun at any particular story. We're just
having some fun with the portal idea, no offense intended to anyone. We
promise characters will start showing up soon. Uh, we're going to make
sarcastic jokes about most of them, but it's all in fun and they're Lisa's
views, not ours. We cannot stress that enough. We love all our readers! WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION Or "What a man, What a man, What a mighty good man" by Gypsie Rose (gypsierose3000@yahoo.com) Chapter 1: School's Out for Summer June 9 I'm not very good at this whole journaling thing--I mean, I haven't kept a diary or anything since high school, which was, what? Fifteen years ago or more?-- but it seems a shame not to document the progress I'm making on my house. School's finally out, and I've advanced enough on the salary schedule to purchase a rather lovely, old, four-bedroom Victorian with wood floors, a fireplace, and a nice piece of yard. My friend Michelle thinks I'm crazy for even wanting a yard, or a fix-it-upper house far too big for just me to go with it, but I figure that after teaching high school English, this should be a cakewalk. I finished stripping all the floors today, and then re-assembled my desk and plugged in the computer. And, alas, that's it. I'm afraid I got a touch distracted, between surfing the web for more Lord of the Rings desktop photos and reading really amusingly bad fanfiction. I have to laugh at all the stories where some character gets magically transported into "our world" and then proceeds to fall madly in love with the owner of whomever's house he happens to land in. Please--how likely is that? And I'm so sure the Prince of Mirkwood wants to go roller skating with you. Riiiight.... Anyway, all that playing around made it impossible for me to accomplish anything else today. Oh well, there's a whole summer ahead of me, and I'm sure I'll do better tomorrow.
