I found one decent place, but I don't know if 500sqft is too small for two people and I wouldn't be able to bring my cat. I don't know how to feel about that.

I saw an apartment review from 2012 complaining that a tiny 1br1ba was $600... I can't find a studio for less than that right now.

Geez Quinn, that's awful!
My minimum wage is currently 14-15 so it's going to be a shock going from almost 20/hr down to probably 16 at most.

Morning leprechauns,
They all say,
Only just awaking,
Hello, new day!
-
Running leprechauns,
Excitement in the air,
Singing songs,
There is no despair.
-
Caring leprechauns,
Greet their steeds,
Coats are shining,
Caring for all their needs.
-
Galloping leprechauns,
Prancing around,
Granting wishes,
All day 'round.
-
Hungry leprechauns
Ready to eat,
Dinner's up!
Their day almost complete.
-
Tired leprechauns,
All worn out,
The day is over,
No time to pout.
-
Sleeping leprechauns,
All tucked up in bed,
Shamrocks beside them,
All green but not red.

Had fun writing this, hope you like :)

I hope this isn't too long, and please don't ask what my inspiration was... It just happened lol

------------------------------------------

On The Front Lines
The soft crunch of untouched snow being flattened was so quiet not even a mouse would stir. His small boot clad feet settled so gently the buckles don’t even clink against the leather. Eyes wide and observant he checked his 10 o’clock, then his 3. All was clear. Signaling behind him with a stern wave of the hand, they began to progress forward, each step still being taken with great caution.
“What’s our ETA?” said a voice that rose from behind him.
“At this pace, all going smoothly, T-2 minutes,” he uttered in a calm, cool tone.
And so they kept moving always alert for danger.

But then it happened. It all began with a step slightly too large, a leg slightly too wobbly. It then it escalated so quickly, violently even. His backpack throwing him off balance, his necklace of tinsel tangling around his limbs. Their cover was blown. Lying in a heap on the ground his fall broken by his hay stuffed backpack he lay still, paralyzed by fear, only his mouth was able to move. “Get down, Get down!” he yelled to his men, hoping even some would make it through the onslaught. “Retreat! Don’t come back fo-“

(Insert heavy irish accent)

“What in the heck are ye doin’?” Bellowed a familiar voice.

“Oh uh… hi uncle Alby, we were just…”

“I told ye to go to da barn and feed da the horses, not go waltzing around in the snow like elves or somethin”

“Well you see… we were just… getting there…” Fergus replied hurriedly.

“But you see we had to conduct our uh “mandatory” leprechaun military training,” Hamish interrupted, still lying capsized.

“I’ve never in meh life heard of such a thing… ye quite literally 5 yards from the barn… oh well now go on and get to those unicorns or Violet Silky Tail will be bustin’ down da door – you know what she’s like.” And letting out a sigh Ably turned, but just before he walked away said, "We're about to start openin presents, ye better hurry."

Rather quickly Hamish scrambled to his feet, once again finding his balance. Then looking Fergus dead in the eye said: “ETA is T-4 minutes – lets get movin’!”

-----------------------------------------

This was lots of fun, I havent done any form of writing for ages so I'm rather rusty, but I hope you enjoy lol



That was so fantastic!! Highly hilarious and brilliantly crafted!! I'm in love with little Fergus and Hamish already and didn't want it to end haha! Little leprechaun military training, I can totally see it all so vididly now, it's still making me smile 😂

Bob-Tailed Nag
The bob-tailed nag stood in his stall,
Knee deep in the comforting staw.
Drowsy with sleep at the end of the day,
Quietly munching the sweet smelling hay.
Nearly deaf and blind in one eye,
He could scarcely hear his neighbor sigh.
Warm in his rug as the snow fell outside,
Dreaming of days they would go for a ride.
Hitched to the sleigh and decked out in bells,
Gliding across the hills and the dells.
Flying over the frozen white ground,
With singing and jingling the only sound.
Fast and strong in his days of youth,
Now a little long in the tooth.
Old and tired, alone in his stall,
But still cared for and loved by all.

Oh no, Riv, that is so sad! I am so sorry that happened! It is always my biggest fear ='( Sometimes I think if you re-log in on another tab, and then back arrow back on the tab when you submitted the post, you can sometimes get it back at the bottom of the forums. Worth a shot at least for me haha!

Selecting/announcing winner shortly!!

After much contemplation and more giggles from you all, I have chosen SilverFern as the winner!! Congrats!! I couldn't stop vividly picturing the entire amusing scenario with myself in place of Hamish, haha, as this was something I totally would have done (and still might do xD) in light of childish spirit and spunk, especially during such a joyous and youthful time of the year!! ☃️❤️

SilverFern - Please let me know if you would like a 3mo upgrade, reroll pack, or 150k. And of course, the name of the Unicorn stallion in my barn you would like Bluebell to be bred to for your foal!! =D

🍀 🍀 🍀

And I will be sending a little something to everyone else who participated!! Thank you all very much, it was so enjoyable reading everyone's entries!!
