Magic
So my bedroom is magical. This is something I've known for quite some time now, actually. The first magical thing I noticed is the occasional visit from who I like to call the Clothing Fairy. Every so often I'll open my closet and discover a shirt, a pair of pants, a bra, underwear, socks, or some other article of clothing I have no recollection of ever having before. And yet, there it is, brand new but without any tags and smelling like both laundry detergent and that smell clothes get when they've been sitting in the closet for awhile. So I take out the clothing item and ask my mother, "Have you ever seen this before?" And she'll say "no?" Which is how I know the only way it could have gotten there is by MAGIC. Sometimes the kind fairy will even bring clothes she knows I need, like that time I wanted a new long-sleeved shirt and then found one.
And then there's the rattling door mystery. Okay, it's not really a mystery so much as it's just plain weird. My bedroom door (and none of the other doors in the house) rattles. A lot. Sometimes it rattles for obvious reasons, like really loud thunder. And sometimes it just... rattles. For no reason I can tell. My mother's witnessed this, and, in fact, tried to hold the knob so it wouldn't rattle only to have the door vibrate in her hands. Spooky.
The next magical thing is that Bad Things don't enter my room. My toilet overflowed once, and the water didn't go in my bedroom despite the fact that the rooms are next to each other. And if there are bugs in the house (Florida houses seem to attract a lot of insects, for whatever reason) they don't go in my room. This is pretty neat.
My room also magically stays REALLY FREAKING COLD all year round. I'm... not too fond of this magical aspect, though.
The last, best magical aspect of my room is the fact that money seems to pop up every so often. I find coins and bills tucked all over the place. It's probably just money I've misplaced, but sometimes I have no recollection of ever having, or losing, the money. It's just... there.
Speaking of money, I've got forty dollars in cash and a fifty dollar giftcard to the Citrus Park Mall, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to spend this money. I have some ideas, though. Ideas involving used book stores and thrift shops, because I am cheap. Plus, I won't spend any money until after Christmas, in case I accidentally buy myself something my parents have already gotten me. Also, YAY SALES.
Also, it's raining! Yay, I love night rain. :)
