Gretchen...it's really uncomfortable having your brother living so close. Just...thought you should know. I tried asking him to not come barging in my room or yours and he said we should just lock the door. Then he set my pants on fire.
Charlie, are you making illusions when you sleep or did I seriously see a Pokemon in our room this morning at the end of your bed.

( Private to Roxy & Jenna )
It's almost March. Not many people know the reason July and August have 31 days and February only as 28. July is named after Julius Caesar and August is named after his son, Caesar Augustus. The Senate decided that because July had 31 days, that August should have 31 as well, so they took a day from February instead. So before Caesar Augustus, there had been 29 regular days, and 30 on a leap year.
I got bored and began reading a book of random facts. Obviously.

Roxy said something funny this morning and I was wondering why Charlie wasn't laughing too and I realized he couldn't hear her. It's a little quieter here, but that's not a bad thing. Looks like all the hype surrounding Valentine's has finally died down, not a bad thing.
It's Presidents' Day today. I never really cared about that day until today. No school. Not complaining at all.

Random words.
- hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - The fear of long words, ironically. It is literally the hippopotamus- and monster-related fear of very long words.
- dipsomania - an irresistible, typically periodic craving for alcohol
- cockchafer - any of certain scarab beetles, esp. the European species, Melolontha melolontha, which is very destructive to forest trees.
Do girls really sit around at sleepovers and do what they do on shows from the 90's? Sounds boring.
