Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL, not a diary. This was Mom's idea, not mine. But if she thinks I'm going to write down my 'feelings' in here or whatever, she's crazy.
The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I'm rich and famous, this book is gonna come in handy.
But for now I'm stuck with a bunch of morons.
Today is the first day of school, so I figured I might as well write in this book to pass the time.
Just don't expect me to be all 'Dear Diary' this and 'Dear Diary' that.
