When I woke up in the morning there were squashed spiders on my rug. You might be wondering why I thought this was notable. I am not an expert on Twilight but my friend Julia had done this poster for her book report. Edward was squishing spiders and declaring his undying love for Bella. Julia thought it was the funniest thing ever. Edward the sparkly vampire was able to run faster than a speeding bullet, leap tall buildings in a single bound and so on. He was also the self proclaimed last line of defence against itty bitty house spiders and that was apparently the funniest thing in the whole series. The spider squishing night was the first night he sneaked into Bella's room.

I guess that means he loves me now and is sniffing me in my sleep now or whatever. If he can be a weirdo. I can be a weirdo too. I'm going to be a weirdo too. Let's hear it for the weirdo in all of us. I made grilled cheese with hot sauce and syrup for breakfast. I put hot sauce in my cocoa for good measure. I like hot sauce on sweet things. It has to be the right kind of hot sauce of course. It used to freak out my friends. Soynut butter, jelly and hot sauce sandwich? Yum!

I cheerfully sang the chorus, "I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here," at the top of my lungs in the shower this morning. I resolved to learn the song, Creep on my violin in honour of my new nighttime vampire stalker.

I decided to wear my Pokemon pjs to school today complete with a feather boa and crocs. Charlie will be horrified. I shall be an oddball trend setting fashion disaster. I wonder if this world's mechanics will allow this much fashion rebellion. I drew a heart on my cheek with this lipstick I thought was a slightly tinted lip gloss when I bought it but was really low quality halloween bright orange lipstick. Nope, the heart felt sticky and smelled like chemical watermelon. I washed it off then put my hair in a chopstick bun feeling defiant and proud of myself.

I almost choked myself on the feather boa when it got caught on the stair rail when I was rushing to get to school so it got left behind and I grabbed heart shaped sparkly rainbow sunglasses. Perfect for super sunny Forks weather!

Edward still asked me, Pokemon pj, sparkle heart sunglasses, chopstick girl, on a date to Seattle. I don't know if all boys are weirdos or it's just Edward.

"Oky Doky, Edward. If you've been there before I won't have to look up directions so that's cool?"

With a confused sigh I headed off for my first class. Alice was wearing a beret. Maybe I missed the memo and it was fashion weirdo day and Edward thought I was showing school spirit?

"Hi Alice," I took off my heart shaped rainbow coloured sunglasses and popped them on her face. She looked surprised. "Wear them on days when it feels like the universe is absurd and remember that they sell sunglasses in Forks so obviously it doesn't just feel like the universe is absurd. It is."

Jasper was giving me a weird look. I just rolled my eyes at him. "Boys! They take their sunglasses way too seriously," I confided in Alice. I left the vampires behind in favour of my first class.

It occurred to me later that I'd never spoken to Alice before on a day the world remembered. No wonder Jasper was giving me a weird look.

Edward ate lunch with me. Well, I forgot my lunch money so I just grabbed a drink but I'm calling it lunch anyway. Edward came and insulted me a bunch then tried to explain how he found me irresistible. I might have been a bit snarky with him. I was glaring at him so he asked his favourite question. "What are you thinking?" He needs a button that repeats that over and over. It would save him so much time and energy to have a button like that.

I told him I was trying to figure out what he was. He is definitely a weirdo but he's also often gentlemanly, today he's insulting and flirty. The continued insults were just Edward being Edward. Julia talked about him being the stereotypical high school after school special, bully type. He's only mean because he has self esteem issues apparently. Sometimes later in the books he gets super controlling but I'm not sure that isn't some kind of mental breakdown. Bella is so breakable and disaster prone and protecting those you love seems to be a biological imperative for vampires. Edward ends up very stressed out.

He wanted theories but he was so rude today I just kept trying to get out of the conversation. Pickup line, insult, pickup line, insult. Freaking yo-yo man… I even pointed as much out to him but he kept doing it and prompting, pleading for theories so finally because I knew he was going to make fun of me I had a little fun of my own.

I suggested, "Spiderman, Superman?" Teasingly thinking of him squishing spiders faster than a speeding bullet.

I got insults and the angsty what if I'm a villain speech.

"Oh Edward, you're not evil," How many times in a row had he tried to save me on 'squish Bella with a van' day? How devastated was he every time he failed?

"Everyone, even you, has the capacity to be their own superhero. I believe you're dangerous." How many times had he killed me? I'd lost count. "I don't believe you're evil."

I fainted in blood typing right on schedule. Edward, damsel in distress-ed, me over to the nurses office. Mike invited me to the beach then Edward drove me home for a sick day.

When Edward had Claire de lune playing on his car stereo, I know I was supposed to wax poetic about Debussy but as a violin girl my knee jerk reaction when Edward was all surprised that I even knew who Debussy was, was to go off on him about how I preferred Vivaldi, my left hand instantly started to flick through fingering. It's a nervous habit of mine. The Vivaldi/Debussy debate got quite spirited. I wonder what I was supposed to be talking to him about?

The day advanced just fine in spite of me. I guess the clothes didn't matter and everything else was close enough.

I've never had a day with that much important dialogue advance that effortlessly. I kind of secretly enjoyed the day; except for nearly tossing my cookies and passing out in biology due to the blood thing.

What's the weirdest thing you enjoy eating or the oddest fashion choice you made in high school? I've seen or done all the examples in this chapter.
