Haunted Item #2

I don't know what it is about objects in my room becoming haunted, but it seems to be all the rage recently. First it was my stereo, and I wasn't fully convinced it was actually haunted because i did touch the volume dial with PVA glue on my hands and i thought that may have seeped in and wreaked it, but now my new hair straightener has become haunted as well.
I first noticed when I was laying awake in bed in the middle of the night, I saw these blue flashes of light on the shelf where I keep it. At that time I ignored it because I was so tired, however, it happened again the next night. I couldn't be certain it was my straightner because it was always dark and I was always too slow to get over to it before the flashing stopped. Until the night before last.
I was sitting on my bed typing on my laptop, I'd placed the straightener next to my stereo because it's closer to the mirror and safer when it's on at 230 degrees celcius, when suddenly it started flashing. I grabbed it to see if there were any numbers on it (when it's heating up it flashes until its at the right temperature). There were no numbers, it was just flashing, all by itself for no obvious reason. Thus I have deduced that it too is haunted.
The "Haunted Objects in my Room" list is now up to two:
1. Stereo
2. Hair Straightener

I like to read old journals. I recently read some of my 2006 journal, I didn't realise some things about myself at the time, things that are quite clear to me now.
I think I'm poetic when I'm hurt, I'm crazy with speculation when I'm in love, that speculation turned out to be true, even though at the time it seemed unlikely.
I really doubted myself in 2006, but I suppose that's what a 15 year old girl does. I don't know how much of me has changed in those 2 years, I don't know if I'm still poetic when I'm hurt, lately I've just been getting angry and then telling myself to let it go when Isomebody hurts me. I don't know if I still have that crazed passion about love that I used to. I think I'm more level headed, more grounded, but I do have the occasional fantastic thought.
I'm not sure if I like self reflection.

The Value of Mmmm

On the inside of a quarter pounder box, from McDonalds, there is a blurb about the quality of meat used to make the burger pattie and a lot of other rubbish written to make McDonalds sound like heroes, but the most interesting thing is that there is an equation they've obviously thrown together to link all the useless information, about australian cows and such, they've listed inside the box. I've always dismissed this equation as McDonalds attempting to be mathematically "funny", however, the other night, whilst I was eating my quarter pounder and reading the box yet again I noticed that there was only one variable in the completely manufactured and obviously fake equation. That variable being Mmmm. So I thought ''I've stumbled across an opportunity, the opportunity to find the value of Mmmmm in McDonalds burgers!"
The equation that's read on the inside of the box is this:

(18 000 000 x 2.2) x 4 = (Mmmm^3 x 10^8)^10
I worked out that the value of the Mmmm in McDonalds burgers is only 4.04 x 10^-3. Which is quite a small number. I was wondering if that means that McDonalds burgers aren't very yummy? I wondered also if they meant for the equation to be solved, and how many others had solved it before me? Whatever the answers to these questions are, I'm glad I've finally found the value of Mmmm, it's like one of life's big questions have been answered and I can finally rest easy, knowing that Mmmm = 4.04 x 10^-3.
