The bug is gone.
There was this big cricket thing on our step one night as Jason and I returned to the house. It was about as big as two quarters. We weren't sure if it was dead or not, so Jason tried to spit at it. The spitball came close and the bug didn't even flinch. He thought it was dead. I wasn't so sure, so I nudged it with a stick. Sure enough, the bug was alive. It wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere though. So I put some a flammable gel substance on the bug, and got the lighter. We watched the blue glow for a while, as the bug just stayed there, seemingly ignorant to the situation it was in. (Yeah, I'm sick and demented. Jason has this part on video by the way.) I just assumed the bug died after that. The dead bug just stayed on the porch step, as I wanted to send a clear message to other potential invading insects that 5824 was not to be messed with. However, I came back today and the body was gone.
So either: A) Someone swept it up (not me), B) the crickets came to retreive the body of their buddy for a proper burial, C) a cat ate the dead bug, or D) it was the Jesus cricket.

Sometimes I amaze myself with my stupidity. This blog is www.5824.blogspot.com. In the address bar, I typed in www.5824.blogpsot.com, changing the positions of the s and p. It took me to some bible study site. At first I thought some very low level criminal had hacked our blog. So I type in the 5824 and select the autocomplete address from the address bar, since the 'blogspot' looked just like 'blogpsot' to me and again it took me to the bible study site. I was confused for a good 4 minutes, so I gave up and went to watch Scrubs. The show must have revitalized my brain cells because I finally realized what I was doing wrong. So I guess watching tv does make you smarter.

Sorry for the lack of posting on this page. I haven't even been watching that much tv.
The closet in my room has 2 of those bars for hangers. All of my stuff has always been on the lower bar. Danny's clothes used to hang on the top bar. For some stupid reason, it took me until this week to realize that I have a whole upper level to use for hanging my clothes instead of having to stuff it all on one row.
Most of the money left in our donation jar was spent on a pizza. A medium with pepperoni, sausage, and onions. Thank you to our many generous donors.
