Yes my PA ok stop gawping at me like I'm some typical man because I'm anything but typical. I'm iron man and that's more than most people can say about themselves. I'm also rich and madly in love with a woman who makes me who I am today.

Ok about 6 years into the working relationship me and pepper had a few falling outs and fights. That was mainly due to my attention seeking habits and doing stupid things. Even Stain was annoyed with me, he was my minder when dad died, took me under his wing until I was old enough to have my company.

Pepper didn't like me experimenting with things when I was meant to be in meetings for some dumb shit. I dunno I find meetings stupid and a waist of time, all we do is sell weapons and I occasionally develop a new one to keep one step ahead of the game. Justin Hammer was my competition but it wasn't hard, none of his crappy tech worked.

Anyway my diary back to me. I love machines and tinkering, I've done it since I was about 5 and haven't stopped since. There was this one time where I made a desk ornament for pepper, one of those kinetic things ya know. Thought she might like that kinda thing for her desk. It now annoys the hell of out me and you can't stop it moving!

God I hate that thing.

I have loads of memories with pep that I look back on, that time in high school when we went out for dinner...friends with benefits thing. She'd turned me into mush, I was meant to be the confident one but that was an act. How could I be confident with the one I held closest to me?

She still makes me feel like that now, 12 years later and she's still not mine. Yeah you people can laugh all you like but this is serious ok. This is my life and I fucked up badly, I should have made her mine back in high school, after that one night I knew she had to be mine.

My stomach used to have so many butterflies or whatever it's called when I saw her. My words used to go and I spoke pure crap just to stop myself from telling the truth. Laugh...I know you want to, the great playboy lost for words around one woman. It's funny right, but this wasn't just any woman...that was Virginia Potts.

And that pretty much brings me to a few years back, when everything was alright, I'd been a pain as always but nothing major. Pepper still wasn't mine and I was just sleeping with everyone I could. Oh that reminds me of a time back in the old days, 1999 my girl at the time maya was lovely but that was for a night only.

See what I mean even back then I was like this. I blame my parents of course, wouldn't any child.

I want my little pepper pot but that was a long shot off yet. still...I could dream and dream I did.
