Dear Journal,

That sounds so lame. But I suppose that's how you begin your journal. I absolutely hate "Dear Diary" so, I guess journal it is.

Well, anyway, I've been grounded for a week now and am about ready to go stare crazy. I was finally allowed out of the house but I had to be with a fa mily member at all times. So, I actually went to the Temple library today with my brother Ian. I have to admit, I hadn't set foot in that place for, well, I don't know how it's been but it's been a long time. But it was either go to the library with my brother or go with Mom or Dad to their offices and listen to boring Council stuff all day. Uncle Valin and Aunt Syal are visiting Great-grandpa on Corellia and Dane and Corry weren't options. So, I figured I was picking the lesser of the evils.

Of my two brothers, Ian is the most like me. We even look alike, so much so that we've been mistaken as twins. But he's almost three years older than me. We both have dad's red hair and Mom's green eyes and we're both tall and slender framed, which Grandma Mara says must come from a combination of the Skywalker and Terrik sides. Of course, we've seen holos of Grandpa Luke and Aunt Leia and we know they were both short. Sure Great-grandpa Booster is tall, but he's also—oh how do you say this nicely—he's so big. But anyway I'm not going to argue.

Dane has taken after the Horn's more. He's built like Grandpa Corran and has Mom's dark hair, but he has Dad's blue eyes. I guess both my brothers would be considered good looking from a female perspective, but to me they've always been dweebs. But anyway, Dane is the more outgoing of the two but then he's the oldest. He's engaged to another Jedi by the name of Cathryn Tainer. She's the daughter of Masters Doran and Tahiri Tainer and is two years older than Ian. Well, anyway it is funny because Master Doran doesn't like Dane much. But that's a story for another entry. Ian is shyer than Dane and hasn't even really gone out on many dates. I think the reason so many people think we're twins is because compared to him I seem as old as him.

Well, let me get back to my wonderful day at the library with my bookworm brother. The library here on Coruscant is huge. The one on Ossus is just as big, and everything here has a copy at the Academy, but something about this place makes it seem much bigger. I found myself roaming the shelves, bored to death and wishing that I'd gone with Mom. But then finally I found a chip that caught my interest. I pulled it and headed for the first available terminal.

But stopped dead in my tracks when I saw him sitting there. He had long black curling hair and from the looks of it he was tall. Since I'm tall, I like tall guys. He had a handsome profile with sharp features. He looked to be about Ian's age, but I don't remember ever seeing him before. But if he was in the Jedi library, he had to be a Jedi. To say the least I was very intrigued. I took a deep breath, ran my fingers through my long hair and made sure my green robes were straight. I pinched my cheeks to give my fair complexion some color as I stepped forward. The reason I thought the datachip was interesting completely forgotten.

I sat down beside him at the empty terminal and put in the chip. But before I started it, I looked over at him and he s miled at me. Force, he had the most beautiful s mile and his eyes, oh—long lashes and the deepest hazel irises. I about fell over when he said "Hi."

All I could say was "Hi" back. He turned back to his datapad and I looked over at mine. But I couldn't even remember how to turn it on. Finally, after awhile I looked back at him. He was looking at me!!! I didn't know what to do. So, I simply told him my name as I held out my hand. He s miled and took it to shake it. Even his name was gorgeous.

Oh, damn, Mom's calling me…I got to go.
