Hi everybody! My name's Virjil B. Patterson, and this is my legacy.

Hi everybody! My name's Virjil B. Patterson, and this is my legacy. After graduating from college, I bought a house. It's a small one-bedroom cottage. This is how it looks after I finished it. There's even a side-greenhouse, but that came with the house. This is the backyard. I set a huge table outside and put in an outdoor grill. The pool has a feally cool design. I finally have a house, but I think I'm conna rearrange the furniture a little. Anyway, on with my story. The first thing I did was look for a job. After hours of scanning Goblin.com for a decent job in Harmona, I found one. It was for a clerk at a local music store called "Castellio's". The job paid very well for the amount of work, and hours were the regular 9 to 5. Started tomorrow. I had nothing else to do, so I put on some music and started dancing...until I fell. After I regained consiousness (just kidding), I realized it was getting late. I was getting hungry, so I decided to look in a cookbook and see if there was anything easy I could make, since I'm cooking disabled. "Ah! Good ol' spaghetti," I thought, "I'll make that." It was actually pretty simple:

1. Cut up the peppers, tomatoes, and onions (I must've cut myself ten times)
2. Put everything in a bowl with the tomato sauce
........
3. combine and cook the tomato sauce and spaghetti
.......
4. Enjoy! I ravenously ate my spaghetti.... Played the guitar.... And went to sleep. Zzzz The next morning, I woke up bright and early. I quickly got dressed, showered, and ate. I was so excited about my new job. I got into the car, and drove away. Destination: Castellio's. As soon as I got home, I got a phone call. This was weird, since I didn't relly know anyone around here. Despite thinking that it might be a telemarketer, I picked up the phone.

"Hello?" I said grumpily.
"Hi, my name's Harper. Harper Simpson. From Castellio's?"
"Ohh," he said remembering her, "Hi."
"I was just calling to tell you that you have every Tuesday and Thursday off."
"Okay," he said felling awkward, "Thanks."
"You're welcome."
I got bored, so I decided to went out to G+L. While I was there, I ran into Harper.

"Hey, Harper," I said.
"Oh, hi Virgil! What brings you to G+L?"
"I was just buying some clothes," I said non-chalantly.
We kept talking for a few minutes, and before I knew it, she asked me on a date.

"Hey, we should have dinner sometime this week," Harper said in a friendly voice, "How does Thursday sound?"
"Thursday's perfect!" I shouted not being aware of the sound of my voice. Feeling awkward from sounding so eager, I said, "mabye you'd like to come over my house to eat."
"Yes, that would be nice."
As I was about to flip my bass filet, the doorbell rang. On that fateful day, I called her to confirm.

"You're definitely coming, right?"
"Yes! Of course!"
"Okay, just checking."
I darted outside like a lightning bolt and greeted Harper.
"Hey, Harper," I said as she gave me a friendly peck on the cheek, "I made a wonderfull dinner for us."
"Yes, I can smell it," she said enthused.
"Wow! This bass is delicious!" she said.
"Yeah, well, cooking comes so naturally to me," he said thinking of the countless dinner disasters he's caused by cooking.
"Here's to a wonderful dinner!" she said.
"I'll toast to that!" I said as I raised my glass.
After Harper and I finished dinner, she started examining my stereo. I took the remote and turned it on. Harper immediately said, "I love this song!" She grabbed me and made me dance with her. I didn't find it to be a total failure (at least I didn't fall), and the more I danced with her, the more comfortable I felt. The more comfortable I felt, the better I got. "Thanks for inviting me over," Harper said hugging me, "I had a great time."
"Good," I said, "I'm glad."
Two months later, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.

"Oh, my God!" Harper squealed.
"Will you marry me?" I asked her.
"Yes. Yes! YES!!!"

    Cute beginning! Hey, did one of the pics get out of order? 'Cause one minute he's cooking the bass while the door bell rings, and the next he's on the phone confirming that Harper's coming over, while she's at the front door! \;\) Anyway, it wasn't too hard to figure out what was going on. \:D Good story! \:rah\:
