The Brilliance Of The Raven Chapter 2

October 15, 2004 Dear Diary,

This day has been going to slow. It's 9:00 at night right know, but it feels like it's been years since I woke up this morning. I just can't think strait today. See, when I'm older I want to be a writer. Problem? I can't write. All day I've been trying to think of a good story idea. Maybe I could write a fanasy story. Yeah. I could call it "Princess Pennyweather And The Purple Pony Mystery." Okay, bad idea. Maybe a science fiction story. It will be called "The Five Headed Mutant Rat And The Robotic Mermaids From Mars." Okay, really bad idea. Perhaps I could write a non-fiction book. An biography, maybe. Lets see. How about "The Life And Times Of Shamu?" Hmm? Maybe writing about a whale wouldn't be the best idea. An instruction book might work out. Then again what would I write about? "How To Brush Your Teeth?" "How To Tie Your Shoes?" "How To Write The Lamest Book Ever?" Actually, I'd be pretty good at writing the last one.

Matt never has trouble thinking of something to write. Did you know that he wrote a book? An actual book! He actually got a book published! He doesn't even want to be a writer. His book is about something really stupid. I think it's about math, or something. It's non-fiction, so it couldn't be that interesting. That sounds bad, doesn't it? My brother wrote a book and I don't even know what it's about.

Today at school everything went really bad. I fell head first off a flight of stair. That was so embaresing! At school I'm known to be clumsy, but this was to much. So of coarse Princess had to say somehing. Princess is what you would call the "queen bee" of the school. She always has her wnna-be friends tagging along after her and boys making eyes at her. Personally, I hate her. Everyone does. Even her wanna-bes hate her, though they still wish they were her. All of the boys at the school hate her, though they still want to date her. I think it's her name I hate. Her prsonality's bad enough, but "Princess"?! Who names their kid "Princess?!" Well, I supose it's not that bad of a name, but it just doesn't fit her. Her name should be...well...maybe I shouldn't say what it should be. In a way I feel sorry for her. I mean, she's clueless! She has no idea that everyone hates her. Then again, maybe she does. Maybe she wants attention so much that she doesn't care if it's negative or positive.

Uh-oh here comes someone. Probably Matt. Chances are he's coming to yell at me for something I didn't do. He's in my room now yelling his head off. I should start locking my door. He's yelling so loud and fast that I can barely understand every fifth word he says. You see, this is what I'm hearing, "Blah blah blah blah Alicia blah blah blah test blah blah blah magnify blah blah blah blah blak blah chemicals blah blah blah okay?" In cases like these I just nod and then he leaves. I never understand whet I'm saying "okay" to, but at least it makes him leave.

I have to stop writing now, but remember: if you have a mad scientist for a brother, just ignore him and all of his weird inventions (unless, it's a zombie made out of dozens of dead peoples' organs, who terorizes your village).
