A/N: Okee Dokee, this time I really tried to make the entries longer,
because one of you suggested it, so is this better? Honestly, I do try.
To the reviewers, you rock my pants almost as much as Rooney does. Enjoy!

Michael's Point of View
Mia's here. Whoa, talk about a make-over. What kind of grandmother does Mia have? I mean it doesn't look bad it just looks.really different. I now Believe Mia with the whole wearing lipstick and panty hose to see this woman. She must be insane! Mia looks pretty good, actually, but Lilly doesn't seem to agree AT ALL. I walked into the hallway to find Lilly screaming at Mia for her lack of assertiveness. When I saw the two of them standing there I just stared and said "Whoa", but neither of them heard me. Then Lilly must have hit Mia's breaking point because Mia just yelled at Lilly to shut up. Who says Mia can't be assertive.oh right, my sister. Either way I have never heard Mia say shut up to anyone. I was just standing there dumbfounded and what did I say? "Whoa" Oh yeah, Michael, really insightful. I really have to give Mia props though. She stood up to my tyrant of a sister, who can be really scary.kind of like the way Mia's grandmother seems to be. Then Mia followed up her silencing of my sister by rambling about how Lilly is always telling her what to do. Yet again I stood there with my mouth open and said "Whoa". I said "Whoa" AGAIN! I can by such a nitwit sometimes. I don't even know if Mia noticed I was there at all. Normally when I come out without a shirt she has some sort of reaction, but not so much as a flinch when I came out of my room. Anyway, after that Mia stormed out of the house. That was the shortest amount of time Mia has ever spent at our house. After Mia slammed the door Lilly just let out this painful screech and stomped back into her room, which was followed by a lot of loud crashing. Then I went into the kitchen to put my bowl by the sink, which is really what I was supposed to be doing the entire time before I stopped to watch the fight, and went back into my room with Palov. Oh well.I'm going to go work on Crackhead.
Oct. 11th Lilly's Point of View
Oh my god I would never have imagined it would come to this. I knew Mia had been acting weird but this just takes the cake. She came over to help me edit the Ho's deli episode of Lilly Tells it like it is and she shows up with short blonde hair! Her nails were painted and she was wearing the remnants of washed off make-up. Mia looked like she had tried to turn herself into a Lana Weinberger wannabe. How did this happen? Mia said her infamous grandmother had someone do it to her, but why on earth would her grandmother want to give her a make-over and more importantly want to bleach her hair? Mia's color was just fine before her grandmother got a hold of it! I can see that maybe if this was a normal grandmother we were talking about it could have been a demented way to try and cheer Mia up, but you would think Mia would be able to say something like "Oh, no thanks Grandma, that' awfully nice of you but I'd really rather stay looking the way I am.". But no, not Mia, our passive little Mia just sat there and let this insane woman put chemicals into her hair and make up on her face that, for all we know, could have been tested on animals! From what I've heard of the woman, I don't think Mia's grandmother would care in the least bit if all the substances used on Mia were used first on some poor unsuspecting rabbit that had already contracted a fatal disease because of the hair dye that was tested on this once white, now green creature. But I digress.anyway, when Mia showed up here I just let loose on her. I guess you could say I might have been a bit harsh, but if she wants to gain any assertiveness, she needs to realize she has a problem. As I was telling her this she snapped on me and told me to shut up! I was only trying to help her grasp the fact that she needs help. Then I realized that Michael was standing behind me because he bluntly said "Whoa", which I can understand. I have never heard Mia tell anyone to shut up with the exception of maybe once or twice but I forget these instances which leads me to believe that they, in fact, don't exist. So, anyway, you can understand why Michael and I were both completely blown away. Then I heard this clanking because Michael dropped the empty cereal bowl and spoon he was carrying, I presume, to the kitchen (which is a miracle because usually he just lets cups and bowls and plates accumulate in there) Then Mia explained her outburst by explaining how sick she was of me always putting her down. When do I ever put her down?! I mean, yes today would count as putting her down, but aside from that one instance... She went on to say that she gets enough put downs from her parents, teachers, and grandmother. There she goes about that evil grandmother of hers again. Then, she left. She just walked right out the door. Michael just looked at me with his mouth hanging wide open and repeated for the ten billionth time "Whoa". That's the only word I've heard out of him all day. But since Mia didn't stay to help me with the editing of Lilly tells it like it is, I guess I will have to do it all on my own. Fine.I don't need her help. Bye.
Oct. 11th Palov's Point of View
Today I was awoken to the sound of female screams in the hallway. As I groaned Michael looked back at me from his computer and said "I know, I think I'm going to see what's going on out there". Why does this house have to be so chaotic? Normally I can rest in peace when I'm lying on Michael's bed, but Noooo, not today. Today Lilly had to stand screeching in the hallway right in front of Michael's bedroom door. I guess there was a good reason for all the hullabaloo because when Michael went to see what was happening at the door I just heard him bluntly say "Whoa" as he dropped his the cereal bowl and spoon he was carrying (He's lucky I licked that bowl clean, or he would have had a rather disgusting mess of goopy lucky charms all over the doorway). The yelling continued until I heard Lilly's friend and Michael's obsession, Mia scream at Lilly to shut up (to which Michael responded "Whoa") and then some more yelling commenced until the front door slammed, and the entire apartment shook. (I'm sure the neighbors loved that one) Then Lilly let out this howl at the top of her lungs and I heard some stomping down the hallway followed by the slamming of Lilly's bedroom door. After everything seemed to have calmed down a bit Michael returned here, flopped on the bed with a blank look on his face and went under the bed, pulled out a black notebook and started scribbling away in it. What a peculiar family I live with.
Oct. 11th Mrs. Moscovitz's Point of View
Oh my dear, we have got some interesting events surrounding Mia today. Well, there is no doubt in my mind that there is something troubling the poor girl, though I must say her new hair looks very good. She dyed her hair blonde and got it cut shorter. Anyway, Mia and my daughter Lilly got into an argument today over Mia's new look. I believe my Lilly went a little overboard on the criticism because after a few minutes Mia just snapped. Poor dear, I hope she figures things out. I did overhear something about her grandmother on her father's side. I suppose she's having trouble with that whole side of her family. Oh well, I will write again when I have more information on the situation at hand. I will have to share my observations with my husband tonight and see what his view on the matter is. I'm late for Yoga! I'll write later, bye.\
Oct. 12th Lilly's Point of View
I don't know, I guess I should apologize to Mia but I REALLY don't want to. Besides, why should I apologize? I was only trying to help her realize she had a problem, but I guess she proved me wrong. She had no problem being assertive with me.oh well; I guess I'll have to think about it.later.
Oct. 12th Michael's Point of View
Lilly's been really quiet today. I guess last night has her all talked out. I just got offline. Mia was on. Here's the conversation:
CracKing: Hey, Thermopolis. What happened to you last night? It's like you went mental or something.
(Please god, let her not get mad at that.)
FtLouie: For your information, I did not go mental. I just got tired of your sister always telling me what to do. Not like it's any of your business.
(Ouch! That hurts.can we tell that somebody's a little bit bitter, here?)
CracKing: What are you being so snotty about? Of course it's my business. I have to live with her, don't I?
(Snotty? When's the last time anybody used that word.but seriously, Lilly is not fun to be around when she's mad. A few years ago when she was mad at somebody I asked her to pass the potatoes at dinner and what did she do? She takes the bowl of potatoes and flung them on my lap.have I mentioned my sister is completely psycho?)
FtLouie: Why? Is she talking about me?
(Well, the point is she's NOT talking.unless of course it is to complain about Mia.)
CracKing: You could say that.
FtLouie: What's she saying?
(She's not getting it out of me that easily.)
CracKing: I thought it wasn't any of my business.
(Oh, I got her there.)
FtLouie: It isn't. What is she saying about me?
CracKing: That she doesn't know what's with you these days, but ever since your dad came to visit you've been acting like a head case.
(Maybe I could get an explanation for her insanity over the past few weeks.)
FtLouie: Me? A head case? What about her??? She's the one who is always criticizing me. I'm so sick of it!!!! If she wants to be my friend why can't she just accept me the way I am????
(Whoa, there. Calm down, Mia.)
CracKing: No need to yell.
FtLouie: I'm not yelling!!
(Yes you are)
CracKing: You're using excessive amounts of punctuation, and online that's like yelling. Besides, she's not the only one criticizing. She says you won't support her boycott of Ho's deli.
(Which I can understand, I mean, The Ho's are very nice, I wouldn't want to insult them or anything.but Lilly did ask for support so.::shrug: )
FtLouie: Well, she's right. I won't. It's stupid. Don't you think it's stupid?
(Ooh no.don't make me go choosing sides with this.no possible way.)
CracKing: Sure it's stupid. Are you still flunking algebra?
(Maybe if I just change the subject.)
FtLouie: I guess so. But considering the fact that Mr. G slept over last night I'll probably scrape by with a D. Why?
(Oh god, that sounds a bit awkward.)
CracKing: WHAT? Mr. G slept over? At your place? What was that like?
(And more importantly how can I do that.)
FtLouie: It was pretty awful. But then he kind of joked around and made it okay. I don't know, I should probably be more mad, but my mom's so happy it's hard.
CracKing: Your mom could do a lot worse than Mr. G. Imagine if she was going out with Mr. Stuart.
(Haha, if Mrs. Thermopolis dated Mr. Stuart that would be so funny.well, not for Mia, but it would be to everybody else. Mr. Stuart thinks he's so gorgeous.he's not.or at least I think he's not.I honestly couldn't tell you.)
FtLouie: Ha ha ha. Why'd you want to know whether or not I'm flunking Algebra?
(Well.here goes nothing.)
CracKing: Oh, because I'm done with this month's issue of Crackhead, and I thought if you wanted, I could tutor you during G&T. If you wanted
(:: holds breath:: )
FtLouie: Wow that would be great! Thanks!
(SCORE!!!!)
CracKing: Don't mention it. Hang in there, Thermopolis.
Then I signed off, and here I am. I'm going to go call Jeremiah.he'll think I'm a freak, but I don't care. I'm tutoring Mia, score!
Mia's here. Whoa, talk about a make-over. What kind of grandmother does Mia have? I mean it doesn't look bad it just looks.really different.
