I was DYING to put some humor and romance in there somewhere. It killed me not to add a some smoochie-smoochie. I debated with it, but I like how it ends. It just didn't seem practiacal to add passion, even if it was just a tender kiss. I don't know. What do you think?
Also, it wasn't so much of a diary as a thought, past memory journal. Calling it a diary sounded more personal. Basch writing "Dear Diary"? That would probably be the downfall of his reputation :-P
