Journals of the Superheroes:
Tony Stark's Regrets
I don't exactly know why I'm writing in a journal right now. 15 year old girls who think they're fat are the only people who write in journals. But, I should get this off my chest. So, here you go, journal. Tony Stark's (me) biggest regrets in life:
#1: Age 7: I regret lying to my dad that day. I did eat that cookie. And I felt bad about it.
#2: Age 10: I regret calling Shirly a fatty. You weren't fat. It was only because I had a crush on you.
#3: Age 13: I regret punching Kip in the face because you bumped into me. I also regret calling you a fag afterwards.
#4: Age 15: I regret calling Stacy a fat tease because she wouldn't put out for me. I aslo regret telling the whole school that you put out for me anyways.
#5: Age 16: I regret my first (of many) suicide attempt. I shouldn't have swallowed all those pills and scared Mom half to death.
#6: Age 16: I regret telling my Dad that I wished he had wore a condom the night he got Mom pregnant. I should've worded it differently.
#7: Age 16: (The teenage years were tough). I regret getting David arrested because he was hiding my weed in his locker. I also regret lying to Mom about it. It was my weed, Mom.
#8: Age 17: I regret my second suicide attempt after my parents died in the car crash. I slit the wrong vein. Mom wouldn't have wanted me to deal with her death that way. She wouldn't have wanted me to end it.
#9: Age 17: I regret not calling Katie after I had lost my virginity to her. I didn't know how to deal with emotions back then. I was still hurt from my parents' death and I thought a relationship was something I didn't need. I was wrong.
#10: Age 18: I regret drunk driving and getting into a car accident that almost ended my life.
#11: Age 19: I regret not listening to Pepper when she told me I needed help with my alcohol problem.
#12: Age 20: I regret telling JARVIS that he was nothing but artificial and that I didn't give a shit about him. I do give a shit. I give two shits. I give endless amounts of shits, JARVIS.
#13: Age 20: I regret my third suicide attempt. Pepper got to me just in time to loosen the noose and take me to the hospital. Thanks, Pep.
#14: Age 22: I regret back handing Tiffany at that party. You will never know how sorry I am for that and thank god that I never got out of control with a woman like that again. Tiffany, I'm sorry that I was drinking so much and that you were the consequence. Sorry. Sorry. So. Sorry.
#15: age 23: I regret my fourth suicide attempt. I survived the alcohol poisoning.
#16: Age 23: I regret not listening to Pepper when she suggested I seek help after the suicide attempt.
#17: Age 25: I regret wearing a turtleneck in public.
#18: Age 26: I regret hitting Dummy with a wrench.
#19: Age 27: I regret picking a fight with the side burns guy at the bar. Turns out he was a mutant and had siver claws and was ready to shred me to pieces. I also regret saying that you had a "Flock-Of-Seagulls Haircut".
#20: Age 30: I regret making a bet with Bruce Wayne about who the Batman was. I don't care if I owe you two hundred, Bruce. I'm not paying you.
#21: Age 37: I regret taking the Fun Vee.
Between 30-37, I finally took Pepper's advice and got help. Hopefully, journal, this list doesn't grow. It's been four years since a regret. Life's been...crazy. Ahh, what do you care? You're just a journal. Fuck it. Thanks for listening, I guess. I meant hypothectically. I'm not trying to personify you, journal. Okay, I'm going to stop writing because the more I refer to this journal as 'You', the more I feel that I'm going insane.
