After I solved my first mystery, (read all about it in Minerva Clark Gets a Clue), people wondered what it was like to be a 7th grade girl detective, so my oldest older brother Mark Clark, who is a computer genius, helped me build my own website.

I live with my three older brothers in a big house in Portland, Oregon that looks like a Mexican restaurant.

I have a ferret named Jupiter who helps me solve my cases.

My favorite food is cheese.

My favorite band is Green Day Humongous Bag of Cashews (my brother's band).

My favorite movie is anything that does not star Hilary Duff. LOL!

The biggest thing that ever happened to me was getting struck by lighting at my brother Mark Clark's art opening. Something weird happened that night. The brain doctors are still trying to understand it. I am the only 13-year-old girl they've ever studied who doesn't hate something about herself. And believe me, I'm not some super hott girl. I'm tall and have this monster head of hair that goes all over the place.

But it's all good.

I try to write in my blog every single day, except on the weekends. Sometimes I can get Reggie or my new friend Naples to post, but they are boys, so I wouldn’t count on anything. Mark Clark is in charge of the rebuses, which he changes up whenever he’s in the mood. Sometimes they rock and sometimes they’re lame. Kind of like Mark Clark. Hi Mark! *grin*

I’m still dispensing my MinervAdvice. Don’t be shy! If I don’t know the answer, I’ll ask one of my brothers.

I’m also into a new thing now: click on What’s Cool and you’ll see what I’m reading and what I’m listening to. When I don’t have to read something that makes me want to pluck my eyes out for Ms. Cavetti’s English class, I’ve usually got a bookmark in something pretty interesting. You should know right now that I am always listening to something Green Day, but I will do my best to include other recording artists (which is what serious people call rock singers.)
