Arachnophobia

I have been sleeping on the couch ever since a spidor in my room fell onto my bed a week ago. I then freaked out when there was a spidor on the ceiling above my couch. A spidor on my monitor caused a mental breakdown when I couldn't find the spidor again so my mom could get rid of it. More tears were added when mom found another spidor on the stairs. I use the word Spidor for spiders that freak me out, which are most of them.

Technologically Challenged

Headphones stop working, mp3 players freeze, computers get viruses. This stuff frequently happens to me. I go through headphones fast because one side always loses it sound. Every week or so I have to wait patiently for my mp3 player to run out of batteries, because once it's frozen the only thing I can do is wait for it to die so I can charge it again. This is the second time my computer has gotten something major that makes me want to bang my head against a wall. Commonly the internet on my parents' computer would go off when I touched it. I bet I could be a great hacker just by pressing random buttons and watching it explode.

Journal

So I got this journal at Borders a while ago and I just had to get it because it seemed perfect for me. In case you can't see in the picture, it has my name on it. It also has a poem by Ellen Hopkins inside called "Haven" (I would recommend looking it up cause its really nice). My question is, what should I put in it? As Andelle and I know, we have short attention spans when it comes to diaries. We have a collection of books we might have written on five or less pages that we don't return to. This journal seems too nice to just forget. Should I write in it like a diary? Should I write my poems in it? Should I write a story that takes up its pages? Ideas are appreciated.

Brownies

What's a better way to beat the winter downs than with brownies! Me and mom were making brownies in my totally awesome brownie pan, when something smelled like it was burning. We were preheating the oven at the time, and when mom opened the oven door, she immediately yells for dad, and dad comes. Apparently dad forgot to clean up the potato that exploded in there two nights ago, and they looked about ready to burst in to flames. Regardless, I'm still looking forward to some delicious chocolaty goodness.
