Dear Diary,

New Year's went by fast. There were fireworks, Daddy with a few new bruises, and I'm stuck at school. Listening to a teacher going on and on and *Snore*.

Oh so there's going to be finals this week. I looked at some of the questions. They were dreadful. Oi, school is terrible.

Upside, Dick and Barbara. I finally have friends my own sort of age. This is happiness. *Sigh*

They've been busy though. They want to get really good grades and everything. Daddy says it's okay if I don't get good grades just try my best. In the worst case scenario, Brainiac ends up telling me all the answers. It's not exactly fair, but that's how my family works.

Let's see what else has happened. Oh I know! I got a new pet. It's so cute! It's a giant lizard. He's so sweet. I named him Scaley and he can talk sort of! He sleeps with me on my bed. It's fun to take walks with him. I put a huge leash on him and he snaps at birds. Well I hope he only snaps at them, but sometimes when he's on his own, he'll cough up feathers in the yard and come in the house.

Hmm, oh and the most disturbing thing out of all of this is Daddy uses the feathers and puts it in a huge balloon. I asked him why, and he said he was going to "support" the Mayor.

Ew, he's going to throw it at him. I hope he uses a really long slingshot so he doesn't get caught. And if he uses the Joker balloons, I am forcing him to stay in the house.

I did it before. I remember like it was yesterday. Hold a second it was yesterday.

Daddy was making this huge balloon in the backyard. The smell was horrible. He hadn't slept for couple of days so I hit over the head and dragged him to his room. Then I went back out and sprayed so much air freshner on it, that I still smell like it today. Yay, no more baths!

Daddy, I think, is still working on it. The balloon is a woman's face with huge lips. I think it's a Valentine's Day present.

Oh no, Valentine's Day! Finals are not important anymore.

Ohhh, what am I going to do! Should I confess to him or should I still stay friends? Oh!

Oops, I just hit Scaley. Ah he fell asleep with a bump on his head. I plopped an ice bag on his head.

Maybe it'd be nice if we stayed, right? Because maybe I'm not his type and and it'd be very awkward and *Cry*

No, I can't let emotions the better of me. I have to be focused, determined like Doc. *Cry* I can't be like him. I'm not strong. Oh, *sigh*

Maybe I'm too young and I should just wait. Also I guess fraternizing with the enemy is bad but sleeping with the enemy is worse. Uncle Harvey always says that, but I think he's commenting those old mobster movies, he likes so much.

I'll just get everybody gifts, mostly likely cards and candy. Oh and some meat for Scaley. He's such a sweetheart.

Also I've been flipping through you and I think some pages came out. Guess I'll have to write them back in.

I seriously think I forgot a chapter. It has the introduction of who Grandpa is. I'll write it if no one finds it. Please review and Poll.
