my birthday is in 3 days!

My brother told me that I should keep one of these journals. I like reading his journals. In one of his journals he talked about controlling his dreams, and I can do that too. Sometimes I will wake up in the morning in the middle of a good dream and I make myself go back to sleep so that I can continue my dream and tell myself what will happen next. I just found out that my brother went to New Mexico. I wonder what he was doing in New Mexico.
Anyway, I love typing on my computer. It makes me feel like I am doing something important. And I am a really good typist. When I worked at this school with children, I would amaze them with my typing skills. I guess it's not too hard to amaze children. I really like children.
My birthday is on monday and I am so excited. Actually, I tell myself that I am excited, but I know that it is going to be just another day. Birthdays don't feel like they did when I was young. I try to make them feel the same. I start counting down the days till my birthday in April. Josh just laughs at me. Lately he has laughed really hard because I want a dog for my birthday. He thinks I am crazy, and I know that I am. I have been pushing hard for this dog though. I really like surprises, but I can't handle it when I know someone has a secret or a surprise for me. It drives me crazy and I have to find out what it is. If I was just surprised and had no idea that a surprise was coming I think I would like that a lot. I drive Josh crazy I think. I hope he hasn't had enough of me.
I was about to head out the door to go running, but now I am typing on my cool computer in this silly journal thing. I kinda like it though. But I really want to go for a jog and I have to do it now or never.
