Horror Stories.

I just recently finished reading Dracula by Bram Stoker, and lets just say it put me in a "horror" mood. When my teacher asked us in our English class to write about things in an elevator. All I could think about was finding a note like this:

If you are finding this note, and the elevator has stopped, then you will not make it out alive.

Dracula was an extremely good book, which I highly recommend. However, I shouldn't read too many more horror stories--I don't seem to escape them very well.

    Laura,
    I'm reading Dracula too! I've found the way of telling the story to be very interesting i.e. we are reading his journal entries! It gives it a more spooky/real feel doesn't it?

The reason I picked pickles is because I like them, so it isn't too strange, right? One time I was on a double date and the other guy’s date was super awkward. I mean gross awkward. (When he asked her what she liked to do, her response was, “Make-out.”) At first, I thought she was kidding, but then there was an awkward silence and I knew that this was no jest. With my back-up already in mind, I blurted out, "I like pickles—a lot!" My date started laughing, as did his friend. Thankfully my strange comment was outlandish enough to drop the other topic as I went into explicit detail. Despite this experience, I am ready to move on from pickles. If you have any recommendations for random topics, please feel free to comment. However, since pickles and I have a long history of randomness, I feel like a far...
