My 25th of May

Wow, what a day. The heat stroke lasted past the weekend. It's Tuesday and still going strong.

I have quite a bit of news. Here's a lovely little anecdote to show you a glimpse of my family. Yesterday we ran out of smooth peanut butter. Mad, as it is my spread, I'm the one who wanted it and got it and stored it so I'd have enough to last me a few years (more like a week and a half, but whatever) and then someone, in my family, comes along and takes it. I complain (which is a loose way of saying I get very very angry and sellotape a sign on the cupboard and mutter and groan and yell) and then I do the unforgiveable.

I ruin the family's strawberry jam.

Actually good payback. I don't like strawberry jam, they love it, take good care of it, fight about who gets the last bit. Kind of like me and smooth peanut butter. So then Dad, of course, has to go be the rational one and find a solution. Because of course we don't want a solution - we want to keep arguing and fighting.

So in the end, after school, I went to SuperValu (our big grocery shop in town) and bought some more... yes, I know I could have done that in the first place, but shh!

Other than that, school was boring. My Home Ec teacher would make a good Nazi. Everyday I do all her homework as perfectly as I can, and yet I remain the entire class with my heart thumping. I don't know how she does it, but I've always missed something!

Other than that... my friend has a boyfriend. It's not usual for her, so I was quite surprised. This was pretty much the conversation.

"I have a boyfriend"

"Oh.... do you like him?"
"Yeah"
"Do you want to marry him when you grow up?"
"I'm not you!!"

The 'not you' is referring to the oh so rational part of me that realises I will only date someone to see if he'd make a good lifelong companion. Also, I tell everyone everything. Really - you want to know something, and I'll probably tell you. Except if it's someone's else's secret, and even then it'll be hard. So, anyways, she knows everything I ever think, and I think I won't date a guy until I'm old enough to be able to consider marrying him.

Oh, I found the worst Harry Potter fanfiction in the world. Not an exaggeration - it's no longer on fanfiction (too many people were flaming her) but it's still online. It's so bad, it's hilarious. Here's a link: http://myimmortalrehost.webs.com/chapters122.htm

Also, some artist who found it terrible enough to profit off it drew a comic for it, which is also great - http://chaziebaka.deviantart.com/art/My-Immortal-Cover-135036123

In case you didn't know, I'm a Harry Potter freak. I know everything there is to know of Harry Potter (which can be found inside the books - only some outside the books). I know the two names of the room the DA used for practise, I know when Harry snuck his books into his room in the summer after second year.

Other news - my dad's gone off to Finland with work for about three days, to Helsinki. For all Americans out there, that's the capital of Finland. Okay, fine, sorry, I suppose it's probably a European joke. But then, I don't know the capitals of your states (I don't even know if you states have capitals!). But of course, countries are rather different from states.

It's lonely without him here - I'm definitely a daddy's girl. The family, but me, went to some lake for a walk, and I'm pretty much just avoiding them all in my room.

Also, I'm still stuck for a plotline for my book. Have I mentioned my book before? I'm writing a (hopefully) trilogy about dragons and stuff. But although I have plenty of characters and a world filled with drama, I can't think of a good plotline that isn't "We meet, we fight evil, we defeat evil, the end".

So... ideas are always welcome. Any mention of the Sahara, rabid women or... well, anything that doesn't make sense will not be welcome.

Apart from that, I have no other news...

Bye for now.
