Mo m decided that today was a great day to take me shopping, the thing I like second least hiding comes first. It was like 2 hours away, All because of they had like good purses or something stupid. Mom needs to stop trying to make me a pretty-girly girl. Because I am not going to decide to be a girly-girl, I have not been on for 13 years so will I ever be one, no. Could she have like left me by myself then she could go shopping all by herself and I would not be there to complain. It is not like I am not used to being alone at home, I have been doing that for the past 6 years.

I found out this morning, James has been betrayed. He was an innocent little kid he was only 10 years old, as are most betrayed to the population police. He should have lived to be free. I am just trying to live life to the fullest; being free is part of it, the main part. AnnaMaria and Carlos are getting fake I.D's, so they will not need to come to the rally. They were my 2 main contacts for everything, not just the rally, just for being friends with. 2 more kids at the rally could be the difference. I am going to have to get Maria to convince Anna and Michael to convince Carlos that they do not need to be fakes, we do not have to hide because taking on a fake I.D is just another way of hiding. You can never tell what the future will bring to us, all of us, everyone.

Luke finally made it over here. I am happy to have the company of real people, not just the guys on the net. Luke and I mostly just talked about the rally. What we would both do after the rally, when we are free. When I am free I just want to live my life and do what I want with it. Luke does not have any plans for when he is free; when we are free he should make some. Living in the attic of his house for 12 years has seriously gone to his head. He needs to realize that there is a world beyond his house, my house and our visits.

If mom and dad find out about the rally they would never let me out of their sight again. And that really would not be good. The rally would never happen; there might not be another chance at fighting for freedom. Mom and dad think me living in hiding is no problem, I do. They need to spend one day living in hiding like I do, they will realize what I have been going through for 13 years, my whole life. If they live in hiding for just 1 day then they have to imagine going through that same thing for 13 years. That is why the rally must happen and must work.

The bad thing is Luke came over today. He tried to convince me that thirds should really be illegal. He also he has fantasies of living under a fake I.D. He wants to live under a fake identity for his whole life, pretend to the world, he is better than that. I need to make him see that fake I.D's are not fool proof; he is safer in living hiding. He could never handle getting a fake I.D. He would end up letting it slip and that person would send him to a terrible betrayed death. When I said would I mean will.
