a note about lee


My name is Lee. I hate spiders. They are my mortal enemy. Ever since I can remember they have been out to get me. For example the other day I was sat beneath the oak tree thinking about stuff and it suddenly appeared behind me dangling from one of the trees biggest branches. It stared directly at me with its many big black eyes. I knew it, it knew it. It was going to kill me. I had to think fast, but I wasn’t sure what to do. I didn’t want to touch it. Then I remembered something my mum told me about spiders, that the thread they make their webs and dangle from isn’t that strong, well not to humans anyway. So quick as a flash I jumped up, span around and sliced through the thread with my hand, causing the spider to plummet to the ground. Well, that’s what I thought had happened but as I looked down to my trousers I felt something crawl up the back of my leg.

My mum and Gerald were watching on from the house (of course they always manage to catch all of my most embarrassing moments) and witnessed the whole event; including the rather dramatic end which involved me sort of dancing around the oak tree, in an attempt to get the spider off me. I eventually came to the decision (though I’m not sure why now) that the only way to succeed was for me to take my trousers off, much to the added amusement for mum and Gerald. In the end the spider had taken my pride and my trousers but not my life.

This is why I hate spiders.

Lee.

ebay


I blame my housemate amina for this new craziness awoken in me, I am more or less addicted to ebay. I have just sold 4 items in total (three of them I posted today) and have put 2 more items on there for sale today.

I also have an ebay app on my phone, which was probably a bad idea as I keep checking it like crazy, hoping someone will bid.

The two items are both Nintendo DS games, a pokemon and a Harry Potter one, I don't think they will sell for that much but who knows?

I am still deeply thinking about selling my nintendo ds but am still not 100% sure. I hardly ever play on it, but I like having it. Maybe I am just being greedy, I already have a Wii and a Xbox 360, do I need 3 games consoles? And with those two games gone I only have 3 games left for the ds, the lego ones. Might stick one on ebay and see how well it sells. I nearly sold a book on ebay (the first sookie stakhouse) but I found out my friend wanted it, so I decided to give to her instead but it took me ages to figure out how to get it off there. So word of warning, make sure you really want to sell something if you put it on there.

The first thing I sold on ebay was this; the disco ball like globe.
I still have the doll perfumes, but I got the globe free from the harajuku website and then sold it years later for £7. how crazy is that? But I didn't want it anymore, was only using it as a book stand and it was a pain to dust.



So yey for ebay!! Will let you know if I managed to sell those items in the next blog!

new rules

it seems a shame me having a blog and never actually posting anything, so I have decided to try and keep at it.

so from now on I will try and post one every 2 weeks.

so here we go..
