Dear JOURNAL,

Notice the JOURNAL. Not a diary! It's defenitely not a diary! Journal is more...manly...

Anyway, I've decided to keep track of some events that have happened over the past few da

Sorry. I fell asleep while I was writing. My sister saw me writing this and said I have a short attention span! I do not...I just got bored and fell asleep on the table, that's all. Anyway, back to the main point. As I was saying before, I've decided to keep track of some events that have happened over the past few days. I'm probably gonna continue writing entries until the journal fills up. So I'll start with yesterday.

Yesterday, I may have met the love of my life~

...

NOT. Ha! Did I trick you for a second? I met the most annoying girl in class. The new semester just started, so I'm seeing lots of people I haven't seen before. Her name is Koizumi, and she drives me insane. It all started when I was trying to reach the school supplies that I was supposed to get for Gorilla--I mean Nakano-sensei...

So anyway, I guess it 'appeared' that I couldn't reach(but I could have if I wanted to), so Koizumi, being the amazon she is, of course could reach it. So she got it and handed it to me. Really, some nerve for a girl to do that for a man! What am I, a toddler?! Is she trying to get me to look up to her?! I mean, I could have reached that if I tried, I just wasn't trying hard enough...that's right! being a teacher's pet is uncool, right...? So ha! I was just being cool. (Editor's note: *LIE*) But she ruined it all and made me look like a toddler. Very uncool! Koizumi is so uncool...

Anyway...Nakano-sensei also has the nerve to call us 'All-Hanshin Kyojin'! Can you believe that? We aren't on some comedy talk show together, so he shouldn't talk like that!

Anyway, enough of the complaining.

I'm finally on the basketball team. That's the good news. I'm a starter now, so everyone's going to watch and learn...they're gonna learn that you don't have to be tall to be a champ!

Seeya.
