It’s St. Patrick’s Day today…but the game doesn’t seem to recognize that fact, so it’s a non-issue in City Folk. I went on and checked my mail; I got a goodbye letter from Poppy. She is no longer a Forest resident.

Anyway, I took the bus to the city, where it was raining. That saves me from having to water my flowers.

It was after 8 p.m. by the time I played, so I decided to stop by The Roost to watch K.K. perform. I already have all of the songs, so I just let him choose a song for me. I told him I was in a good mood, and he played K.K. Dixie for me.

I dropped off the aircheck off by Scott’s house, so he can have some music for his house. I then saw Bob and talked to him; he commented on the nice weather.

I talked to Egbert, and he told me he was talking to Olivia from Anville. He said she is a serious retro girl.

I was almost done playing, but I moved some flowers around first. I put some in the dirt left behind where Poppy’s house was. That will help the grass regrow faster. I also moved some more gold roses to along my paths.

Today, Rowan came up to me and asked if i wanted to play hide-and-seek. I agreed to play. The hiders were Rowan, Bob, and Kid Cat…three of my favorite animals.

Bob was the easiest to find; he was behind a signpost near the starting point.

I found Rowan quickly as well; he was behind a house. Kid Cat however, took me a while to find (behind a tree, I believe). But I did find them all before the 15-minute time limit expired.

My pockets were full, so Rowan said he would send me my present later. At this point, I was done playing.

But later on, at 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Yann came in, and she talked to Poppy for the last time in Forest. She’s hoping Poppy moves into her town. A few minutes later, Jorge also came in. I hadn’t seen him in months.

Jorge and I joke around so much, Yann probably didn’t know what was going on. 😀 I warned both of them to be careful about a strategically-placed pitfall I was saving for Olivia, the self-appointed “Queen Olive Oil.” Olivia has been very adamant that I will *never* pitfall her, so I wanted to make sure I got her once and for all. Of course, she wasn’t there yet, so Jorge, Yann, and I made stops around town, including at Nook’s.

And I noticed we all had green hair and green clothes for St. Patrick’s Day.

We went into my house for a while and then to Scott’s house. Of course, Jorge had to use my toilet. As he stared in amazement at the gravity-defying deer scares, I informed him of the toilet’s new location.

And I stood in a place where the umbrella of the table looked like my hat. Too bad my speech bubble was in the way.

We then went through the “maze” in Scott’s basement.

As you may know, it takes a good while to make your way through the obstacle course. And as we were in the center, Olivia came in! What if she fell into the pitfall trap while I wasn’t there to see it? That would be awful! So I hurried as fast as I could through the obstacles and back outside. I arrived just in time…

YES! I got her at last! It feels good when a plan comes together. Especially for a good cause. 😉

Jorge whipped out his mankini, due to the warm weather we’ve been having lately. 😛

Olivia told us that her friend Dennie was with her. Not only that, but she decided to use Wii Speak for the first time in Forest. We went around into animals’ houses, just joking around and trying to comprehend their British accents as best we could. 😉

Of course we exaggerate our inability to understand; Jorge and I love to joke around with Wii Speak-ers like Chris and Bushido. There was one funny exchange where they mentioned that most “Georges” they know have their names start with the letter G, not J. I informed them that he’s not a “George,” he’s a “hor-hay.” They missed my point and said “What’s a hor-hay mean?” “I don’t know and I don’t want to know, frankly.” So, Hor-hay was “Joj” for the night.

Olivia’s Wii remote batteries died in Egbert’s house, so we just hung out there for over an hour, believe it or not. We had a great time just talking and joking around.

At 12:35 a.m., I decided to close my gate, despite still having a full house (and a good time). I felt bad keeping Olivia up so late, considering it was almost 5 a.m. her time.

After I ended the party, I remembered to check my mail. I had to save a couple letters in the post office before I could make room for the new letter (which you can’t do when you have visitors). Rowan sent me this letter, along with a tall echoid. It wrapped up a fun night in Forest.

I went to check on Poppy today and saw that she is now packed up and ready to move out. So she should be gone by Saturday.
