[selfshippingquotes]

S/I: F/O, how did you manage to set a lemon on fire?

F/O: I microwaved it for forty minutes.

S/I: Why were you microwaving a lemon?

F/O: I wanted to cover up the smell of burning oranges, and I read somewhere that boiling lemons helps cover up bad smells, but I didn't have any pots so I microwaved it instead.

S/I: You burnt oranges, too? How?

F/O: I microwaved them for forty minutes.

Dear Journal,

Remus apologized. Through the door of course, but he did. He said he barely remembers doing it, but that's probably lies. Actually how was it I remembered nothing for months. I hate how he resembles me, He's not me, I'm not that. No way.

Moving on, I'm no longer allowed to keep spiders because it turns out Patton has arachnophobia. Which is a ridiculous name for the soul fear of spiders. It's fear of spiders not fear of arachnids, Patton doesn't even know what a scorpion is, he's not even afraid of ticks. The naming convention makes sense to most people because they assume that spiders are the only arachnid. But it was scientists who named the phobia, how could they be so stupid to only include the largest class in said fear. it should be called Araneaephobia, because that is what spiders are, just a subspecies of Arachnids, not the whole species.

It's like the idiots who say Moth's are just fuzzy butterflies. Not all moths are fuzzy and that's an over generalization taking away from the interesting facts of both's purpose in the animal kingdom. Both are used for pollination but Moth's are used for an easy way to tell of change in habitats and they make silk. Though I think the silk practice is rather cruel since through hundreds of years of domestication they are basically numb producers of silk and eggs.They only last 5 to 10 days.   Or they aren't allowed to live and are boiled alive so we get to have clothes. Something only humans would dream up, turning a beautiful moth and it's gift into tools to be used and played with as human's so see fit.

At least most species are free. I love them landing on me, I won't catch them because they should be free and flying. They're so beautiful. Much more than butterflies. Beetles are second to me followed by spiders. I hope a spider bites me, I want to experience venom first hand. Though many do not have venom nor the intention to harm humans. They get too bad of a reputation, they're just defending your land.

I love talking about insects. Signed, Logan

Oz be honest you're mad at Qrow because he almost let the girls die in a similar fashion to your daughters right?

You suddenly feel this...burning sensation on your tongue--you can’t quite place it, but it begins to get hotter and hotter until your eyes start shedding tears from the pain.

“Mention...them...again...and I...will boil...your tongue.”
