I've done it again.I rummaged through a box in my brother's closet today.The urge to find The Vampire Armand got pretty strong, so a minor look wouldn't be bad.Plenty of books in that box, some being manga.The entire FAKE series and Vols. 1-6 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, plus the reverse version of the first volume(you know, the original japanese style).Found Glinda of Oz too.My mom bought us books once.He got Glinda of Oz, I got a different one.Never read it, so I may as well start reading it.Other books I plan to read are The Vampire Armand and Fear Street.I know I read Fear Street once, but I don't remember much from it.And amidst the books, I found one of my brother's many notebooks.He would write a lot of drama stories when he was younger and he wrote one based on our family called Black Sheep.It was through that drama that I discovered that one of my brothers had a drug problem...My family has a tendency to keep secrets from each other.Still goes on, in fact.Anyways, I couldn't help, but go to the part where the daughter, the character that represented me, deals with the death of the two older brothers and how the relationship between the parents keeps getting worse, until bam!She commits suicide.Made me cry the first time, and I cried a second time.I used to be like that...Not the cutting part(I hurt myself in ways that wouldn't leave scars), but the suicide one.Makes me shiver when I think about it...But it's a good drama.I would have loved to see it performed, especially if my brother was in it.I only saw him in a play once, and it was minor roles(still made me proud to point at him when he was on stage).I put the notebook back where it was.Better to keep it hidden away, lest my parents find it.I don't know if they read it or not.But if they haven't, not sure if it would be a good idea for them to find it.Some things are best left hidden.
