Dear Diary,

My plans are all falling into place! I feel, like, totally, smart and stuff! So, get this, Kira and I are practically having a conversation! No, I haven't met him in person yet. And I still don't exactly know who he is, but that broadcasty thingy worked! He sent back a reply! And we've like, been going back and forth using the media!

It kind of makes me wonder why we haven't been caught yet. I mean everything's so public. You'd think that the police would have prevented our communication by now... but oh well! That's why we have Kira in the first place! Because the police and government and stuff are totally lame, and can't even do their jobs right! For example, oh, I don't know... letting my parents' killer live!

But, never mind. Now that Kira's killed him, I feel all better! ...Mostly.

I'm going to meet him soon, I just know it! With my last message I included a super secret list of events. There are all different locations on it with all different dates, so the officials won't know where we are! They'll probably think it's at the Tokyo Dome, since I wrote something about confirming our Shinigami next to it. But Kira will know exactly where to go! I have this feeling that Kira's really smart. I mean, killing the worlds criminals is a really good idea! He'll figure out the right place to go for sure!

I'm meeting him at Aoyama. I specifically wrote "May 22: My friend and I showed off our notebooks in Aoyama." He'll figure out I mean our Death Notes, and the officials will have no idea! I only had a few days to prepare for this exiting day, so do you know what I did? I went shopping!

MISA-MISA'S SHOPPING ADVENTURE (gawd I sound so official!)

If I was going to scope out Aoyama for Kira, I needed to have a fabulous disguise. No one can know who I am, because if Kira and I end up getting close (OMG I SO WISH) it would look suspicious if we were in one of the meeting places together. And of course, I wouldn't want a wardrobe malfunction to ruin my chances with Kira! Now, shopping would be a challenge for four reasons.

1. I can't look recognizable!

2. I need to look adorable!

3. I can't shop at one store for the whole outfit, or I could be traced!

4. Everything still needs to be high end! Misa-Misa does not bargain shop!

So to prepare myself for my shopping trip, I decided to disguise myself a little, I mean, just in case. I tried on, like twenty thousand different options (oh I wish that wasn't an exaggeration!) and asked Rem what she thought about every one! I could just tell that Rem would be a terrible shopping buddy. She complimented each piece I wore!

She was all like, "That looks lovely Misa."

Or, "You look great in that one."

Even when an outfit clearly made me look fat, it would be the same! So no thanks to a certain fashionably challenged Shinigami, I settled on a short red party dress, black stilettos, and black oversized sunglasses. This worked for two reasons.

1. A simple red dress (and the color red in general) is not my style. And with the sunglasses, part of my trademark gorgeous face will be hidden.

2. I looked so hot!

So, I was ready to go! I paraded around town in my little get-up, sparing no glances to the guys that were shamelessly ogling at me.

I stopped at every store that looked expensive, and checked a random price-tag so I could assess. Sometimes, clothes look high quality and fashionable, but are being sold for low prices. We can't have that, even if I am never wearing this outfit again!

The hardest thing to find was a wig. Basically, I decided to just do the opposite of what my hair is now. My hair is long and blonde, so I found a short black wig that was très chic! (Omigod I sound so French!) I was feeling the whole classy/nerdy/sexy school girl vibe after that, so I bought a pair of thick rimmed glasses. I mean, only nerds wear glasses, but they were still the really fashionable kind.

The outfit is all black, but not in the gothic lollita style I usually wear. I have knee high socks and sensible shoes, and look terribly modest... but still cute. A little mousy but still presentable. I won't be ashamed to be seen in public at all!

As expected, Rem was no help during this adventure. It was weird having her bobbing along behind me, watching me intently in the dressing rooms, yet not even commenting on my outfits. She was silent the whole time! And I couldn't even complain about it or I would have looked crazy! It's hard having a shinigami sometimes!

But just like everything else, it will all be worth it when I see my precious Kira! I don't know when I'm going to actually approach him, but I know I'll just fling myself at his feet in subservience! I just want so badly to be useful to him! And... I'm kind of worried that he's getting annoyed by the communication between us.

But he doesn't even really know me yet! When he meets me he'll see! He'll see he can trust me!

I'm starting to think... wouldn't it be amazing if I saw him more than once? I mean, after I meet him... what if he wants to see me again? Or what if I make him see me again?

I've been so anxious these past few days, I can hardly do anything other than try on my outfit again and again, go over my plans with Rem just to make sure, and meticulously brush my hair. It calms me, grooming my lovely, luxurious locks.

Well, I should go now. I'm going to Aoyama today to scout out the perfect place to watch for Kira! I'm thinking... like a cafe or something. Somewhere fake-Misa would fit in, and still have a good view for people watching. So goodbye diary!

Love,

The amazing, talented, beautiful, and super smart! ~Misa Amane~
