Dear Journal,
My mom wanted me to start writing in a journal today, so here I am. I guess, since I've never written here before, I should tell you a little about myself.
My name is Nepeta Leijon. My name is unusual, I know. I'm Swedish, and I was named after a genus of catnip. I consider myself lucky though. My cousin Meulin, who lives with us, was named after the surname of the guy who ran the zoo that my aunt worked at.
I go to a school, which I call Hell, and the people there are either complete jerks or really nice. There is no in between.
Anyway, I have a friend that I do everything with. Her name is Equus, and she's captain of the softball team. Now she was the queen of unfortunate names. She was named after a guy who, um, did inappropriate things with horses. Its one of the things that she would have gotten teased about, if not for her almost freakish strength.
But we're almost like siblings, and I wouldn't change that for the world.
I should probably describe myself. I am a 15 year old boy who is kind of tall and has messy dirty blonde hair. I have olive green eyes and light skin. This is a huge contrast to Equius, who has nice tan skin and long, straight black hair and is a good height for her age and personlity.
A lot of people tell me that I should be short. I guess that they have a point, because I am apparently very cute and cute things should be small.
Anyways, I should tell you a bit about some of my hobbies and habits. I love to ship, and ship a lot. I have a wall where I record ships between people I know, and a notebook with my ships from my various fandoms. I also like to hunt things in the backyard with Mom.
But I'm getting off track! The whole reason why I'm supposed to write in this journal is because I'm supposed to go move to America soon! My mom met a guy online, who is a preacher or something, and wants to go and live with him in the States. I think that it's stupid. I don't want to leave Equus behind. Equus competes me. The good thing is that she will come and visit me sometimes in the United States.
I should be packing my stuff, but I don't really like to keep much and I don't want to leave Sweden! But I don't get a say in this because my mom want s to meet her online boyfriend something Vantas. That's a stupid name, if you ask me. The name that is causing me to leave my hometown.
My mom is knocking on my door, so I will have t0 do. See you later!
