I am absolutely convinced that Lemony Snicket/Count Olaf/I-don’t-remember-his-real-name is crazy. Visit http://www.countolaf.com/blog and find out for yourself. That man is insane. What kind of sicko takes joy in creating horrible situations for orphans? Orphans have enough abandonment problems without this man exagerating on them. And I should know, because my little sister was one.

Further news:

The San Tan Invitational swim meet was horrible. I have never been so cold before in my life. It was 60*, the wind was blowing like crazy, it started pouring down rain, and there was a dust storm so thick that you could only see about 75 yards ahead of you at the most. I had swam my first event, the 200 Medly Relay, and I was up at the blocks about to start my second event, the 200 IM (the seond heat had just finished) when the guy in charge of the meet ran by telling everyone to go inside and warmup. Everyone was so happy and we all raced to the showers. By the time we could feel our feet again, the coaches meeting that decided if we swam on in that madness or went home to be dry and warm, was over. So we charged the coaches and when everyone got the news that the meet was cancelled a giant cheer went up from the whole pool area. It was a widesread thing, and it would be insane to keep going on. Only Garret, the serious, extremely quiet, 500-swimmer was dissapointed that it was cancelled. Funny, funny. My dad was there, so he took me home right away. That was terrific because the bus taking the rest of the team home wasn’t going to be there for at least another hour and a half. That’s what Laidlaw said, but they are so disorganized that you could bet money on them not being there for 2 to 2 and a half hours.

In case you didn’t catch it the first time, it rained today. Now the monsoons come when monsoon season is over….hmm…funny Arizona weather.
