A/N: hey guys! I know I held a poll on what story I'd post next, but i had this idea and I wanted to get it out right away! So I hope you guys enjoy this!

Sokka's Diary

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. Let's all laugh at Sokka because he's keeping a JOURNAL! And yes, I know what it says on the title. But no matter what the dang thing says, I am too manly to write in, or even own, a diary… which this is not. So STOP LAUGHING!

Hey, why are you reading this anyways? This is my personal JOURNAL, emphasis on the journal, so you shouldn't be reading this! But I guess no matter what I say, you're not going to stop reading, are you?

Yeah, whatever, let's get down to the basics then. My name is Sokka… thus the title. Darn, I hate the title. The stupid, stupid title that clearly reads 'diary' when it should say 'journal'! I am traveling with… wait for it, you're gonna love it… the AVATAR! Yes, you should all be jealous of me being friends with the most powerful being known to mankind, Aang! Not to mention we're BEST friends! Yep, that's right. I can just picture you're tears of sorrow!

Also traveling with me and my BEST BUD, emphasis on best bud, is my sister, Katara. She's a waterbender, considering she and I are from the southern WATER tribe. And, though I hate to admit it, she's dang good at what she does! All I have is a boomerang… and a cool new meteorite sword! I also have this weird, white lotus tile… don't ask, because I don't know either. But back to my sis. I love her and crap, but she needs to stop NAGGING me all the time! Sheesh, what's a man got to do to get his space around here?

And the last human person traveling with us is Toph, a blind earthbender… no you read correctly, I wrote very clearly and purposely the word 'blind'. Omigosh, it's so cool! Get ready for this: she senses vibrations in the earth so she knows where everything is! It's flipping awesome! Right? Am I right? And, to top it off, she can bend metal! Yep, she's pretty good at what she does.

We travel on Aang's flying bison, Appa. I know, I didn't believe it when I was first told, but my optimistic sister did, and she just HAD to be right. We also have Momo, Aang's pet lemur who can also fly, but is not nearly big or strong enough to carry us anywhere. He always steals my fruit… I don't get why everyone laughs after he does. IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY!

Well, we travel all over the world, helping people, saving lives and towns wherever we go! We sound like some kind of book my sister reads, doesn't it? Well, it's not! I'm telling the truth! You see, for the past 100 years, the world's been at war with the Fire Nation. Spirits, I hate them. And, some more good news! The airbenders are dead! Yippie!

HEY! I am NOT heartless! It's called sarcasm, ever heard of it?

Aang is the last airbender, and he has to learn all the elements, blah blah blah, he's mastered air, nearly mastered earth and fire, blah blah blah. And, supposedly, he's got to defeat the Fire Lord by the end of the summer! Talk about pressure! It must suck to be Aang…

Well, the good news is, we found out in a secret underground library… get used to it, weird stuff happens to us all the time… that there's going to be a solar eclipse! And you know what happens during a solar eclipse? FIREBENDERS CAN'T BEND FIRE! Isn't that great?

You wanna know what the bad part is? Since there ALWAYS seems to be a bad part?

The solar eclipse lasts for 8 minutes.

It sucks to be Sokka too.

Ah, well, guess you can't have everything. Like I can't always have meat, but I miraculously manage to survive off those measly little nuts and fruits.

Hmm, let's get more on my background. My mother was killed in a Fire Nation raid, boo hoo, and my dad left to fight in the war. It's kind of ironic that I wanted to go with him, and now I'm leading the entire plan!

…Okay, so Aang's the one leading everyone, but I'll be there with him!

Before my dad left, he told me to always look after Katara… maybe that's why I'm always so protective of her? …nah, couldn't be!

Here's the story on how I got this little journal here, which is not a diary in any way.

We stopped at this town after I finished training with a master swordsman to get supplies and other stuff, and I spotted this shop where all these chicks were. So, naturally, I walked in.

But being the chicken I am, I almost immediately walked out.

Before I ran out of there, though, I spotted this book on a shelf, and I figured, what the heck? So here we are now.

I would also like to say, that even though I may, OCCASIONALLY, act… well, not entirely smart, I am not incredibly stupid either. I know Aang's secret… HE LOVES MY BABY SISTER!

I was really proud of myself when I figured that out. I mean, I'm usually not the type to notice icky things like feelings and junk the way girls do. Either way, I kinda like the idea of Katara dating him. He's a monk, what could they possibly do? Yeah, I know, they would do it eventually, but even so, Aang's a good guy.

But, you know, I always thought Katara was smarter. She doesn't have the slightest knowledge of Aang's feelings! Talk about oblivious! …wait, why is Toph staring at me? Oh well, I probably have something stuck in my teeth… wait, she's blind! WHAT IS GOING ON?

Moving on to the end of my very first journal entry, I'll probably record our journeys, our battles, our laughters, maybe I'll try and get Aang and Katara together! That would be pretty fun… and letting toph in on it would make it even more fun! Either way, this is going to be one interesting journal.

With lots of love… wait, did I just write that?
