Spike's Diary

Dear Diary,

Do you have nay idea how hard it is for me to get to sleep sometimes? Answer, very. Between my chores and having to memorise all the stuff I need to do the next day, my brain buzzes so much that it's a miracle I ever get forty winks at all. But, then you get nights like I've been having, and it just became plain old impossible to doze off. What is it that's giving me a hard time? Well, I've no idea what, but there was a bunch of loud crashing sounds lately, right in the middle of the night, and I must have the best ears in the world, because when I looked out of my window to see where it was coming from, it was like it came all the way from Applejack's farm! I have no idea what they're doing over there, but it's pretty loud.

So, here I am, my diary under my blanket, focusing on a bit of writing. Maybe doing that will help me to sleep. Or maybe I can count sheep? They say that's pretty good too. One, two, three, four, five, six. Actually, you know what, scratch that, counting sheep won't help, because now I'm just wondering where all those sheep that used to live around here went to. We saw them shortly after arriving in Ponyville for the first time but now they haven't been seen for years.

Ugh, this is gonna keep me up all night!
