Today my mom wanted to go walking around in the woods. She does this every time she comes here, and it's always the same places. I don't see how it doesn't get old for her. It sure has for me. I would have liked to have stayed home and played on the computer, but I was too scared to stay in this house full of bugs. If another tick got in my clothes I would panic and no one would be here to help me get rid of it. I'm afraid to touch them. So I went with them. Of course, I was afraid they'd get on me from being on some stupid trail. Anyway it was one of the ones they always insist on going to. It's some place with this big building about nature and stuff, and they have all these dead animals that are stuffed and on display, which I dislike. I mean they probably found them dead, being that the place seems all pro nature and stuff, I sure hope so, but I really don't know, so I dislike it. As soon as I went outside there was some big, ugly, black bug flying around, so I turned around and went inside. That's the thing about places like these. They always have bigger and creepier bugs than at home, thinks I can't identify, things I've never seen before, things that look like they sting, and badly. So I went in and sat on a bench, and ended up lying down because I was so tired. At least I didn't fall asleep. But finally my mom came in and found me, and I ended up going out there with her anyway while we were waiting for my dad. I ran past the spot where that bug was really fast. We walked around some but that was even too much. I don't mind walking, I like a chance to get up and do something that doesn't involve sitting. Most of the things I do involve sitting around, like the computer, or video games, or reading books, and it's bad for me, I know it. But I can never find anything interesting to do that's outside or anything. Walking around some forest isn't my idea of fun. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many awful bugs. We walked around some, more than I wanted to, but at least I got pictures of some mushrooms. I sent them to Kaz's phone. He didn't respond though. >.< I thought maybe he'd like the mushrooms. We finally went to eat and then go home. I ended up making a chat, but Jon and Will had to go and ruin it by threatening to spoil the Harry Potter book that hasn't even come out yet. That pissed me off, and since I don't know if they know for real what happens, I closed the chat. Someone said it had been leaked somewhere, so now I'm not taking any chances. Will ended up IMing me later, saying that he had just been joking and didn't really know what happens, and that he's getting the book too and doesn't want it to be spoiled for him either. But I don't think I'm gonna talk to Jon until I finish reading the book. And no more chats until then either. And right after the whole chat crisis there was a huge awful ant on my bed. It was just huge and gross, bigger than any at home, and awful. It's dead now, but I'm not going to sleep up there tonight. No way.
