This is quite a dumbfounding turn of events!

Did you know the odds of getting struck by lightning are 1 : 280,000 approximately on the USA? Now which would be the odds of something like this to happen? Much higher, I suppose. The probabilities of getting hit by a meteorite, provided you get to live to a hundred years, is one in 20 billion! Do you think there is a greater chance to get stuck in a mortal body and be forced to reside with other mythological beings in Manhattan?

I must admit I'm rather excited. I even have a job! Well, two jobs, but I have already made enough crosswords for a month, so I think all I need to do now is going to Trinity High and check in for the librarian spot. Books are so interesting! Did you know that a book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other various material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side? They have a lot of information, and sometimes aren't even physical; those are called e-books.

I feel like a child on a candy store. A confectionery store (more commonly referred to as a sweet shop in the United Kingdom or a candy store in the United States) sells confectionery and is usually targeted to children or tourists in the modern retail world. Most confectioners are usually filled with an assortment of sweets far larger than a grocer or convenience store can accommodate, the selection is often nostalgic for many and sometimes overwhelming on the senses. Very often unchanged in layout since their inception, either because the stores are rare survivals in a competitive world or tourism aimed recreations, such stores have a warming and nostalgic feel with vast collections of sweets in jars, with sights and smells to trigger childhood memories.

Oh! Oh! Did you know the first chocolate sellers opened in the mid-seventeenth century in London, with an early example being White's. At first the great expense of chocolates allowed only the wealthiest to enjoy them, but they became increasingly within the economic reach of ordinary people as the years went on and the price of confectionery decreased. Some famous confectioners in the United States include Orne's Candy Store, which opened in 1885 in downtown Boothbay Harbor on the coast of Maine, and Fannie May Candies, which opened its first retail confectioners in Chicago in 1920?

I think I could just go on an on...but I think the Apartment Manager is giving me funny looks to make me move from the counter.
