Hello! Here's the answer to the coded riddle I posted the other day. Sorry it's a day late; I haven't had the time to post anything recently.

Dear Readerz,
I just wanted to tell you a story. Once I went seiling in a boat on the Atantic Ocean. I was really scared at first, but then I began having fun. We saw dolphins, fish, and nore. My brother said that it was the biggest aucean he ever saw, but he had only ever seen one ocean! My baby sister cried most of the time, but I just igmored her. My friends were so jealous. They said that in the summer, thair house was very boring. I just waughed and waughed. The look on their faces was so funny! I want to go on a boat ugain  sometime. 
From, Someone

The answer: SALMONELLA. Yes, I know it's random, but I was reading about food-caused bacterial afflictions and it sounded good at the time.

Speaking of reading, what have you been reading lately? I've been reading several of the Sherlock Holmes books and have found them quite interesting. If you like a good mystery, those books are for you. Also, on Thursday I finished reading the Hunger Games books, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Have any of you read Divergent? I'm thinking about reading those next and I want to know if they're any good.

Oh, by the way, Happy Valentines' Day! Although I don't really celebrate Valentines' Day. It's not even really a holiday, in my opinion. All you do is get fat on a bunch of chocolates from useless lovers and waste nature's roses on pointless attempts to attract someone. Sure, the holiday's nice if you like that kind of thing, but I've never really gotten the point of the holiday. Besides, it always makes people feel bad if they don't get a valentine. The one thing I love about the holiday is the chocolate... yum. Thank you, Lindt Chocolate Truffles! I got some delicious raspberry chocolates today, and it's taking all of my self-restraint to not eat them all in one go. 

Au revior!
