Sam's asked me to put the trash out. Hmmmm? My second in command, asking me…to put the trash out! That's rich!

I'm trying to shelter from the storm in the bedroom. She doesn't take to kindly to me calling her Carter at the moment. Actually, if the truth be known, she sent me here. I think she's sick of the back chat. Sent to my room, I'm forty- something for-cryin'-out-loud! I might look 14 but that's not the point!

Daniels lying on the bed below me. He's having a job to talk to me since the accident. I get the occasional 'hi' and 'I'm fine'. That's it really. I dunno what to say anymore. I think he needs to come to terms with stuff a bit. He was really distraught about his apartment; I've never seen Danny like that before. He shouted at the General, real loud. The general actually man handled him. I was shocked. Me, I could understand but Danny?

It was me, I suppose. That'll teach me. Daniel always moans about me fiddling with this stuff. I'm always telling him not to touch when we're off world and yet here we are, because I touched something in his office!

Carter…Sam, I keep forgetting. Anyway, she's really struggling with trying to sort this out. I know she keeps trying to reassure Danny but I got a funny feeling it's all bluff before they break the news that we're stuck like this. We've seen nothing of 'the Asgard', or 'the Tok'ra', or anyone else that may have been able to help. I reckon the big guys have already said they can't do anything and they just haven't told me and Danny yet. Everyone's really kept us in the dark, more for Daniel than me, I think.

I have to say, the whole teenage body thing has its plus points. Better knees, obviously, less aches and pains, more energy and no gray hair! Cool. I think I'm quite 'a looker' really! I've tried winking at Sam but she just frowns at me or tells me off for being cheeky. Oh well, it's worth a try I suppose.

I'm trying to embrace being a kid again and that's caused me a little grief, I have to admit. Sam's let Daniel and me stay at her place with her. Well, she insisted actually but only two bedrooms means bunk-beds. I think maybe we're a bit old for that. Didn't stop me claiming the top bunk, with some force I might add. Daniel just rolled his eyes. Sam laughed though. She commented about the fact that I would have done that as an adult. She was right.

We've closed my house up for now, but Sam says we might have to go there, if we're like this for to long. There's a little more room there than here but she didn't have time to move her stuff and as she's the guardian… for now… we're here.

Danny's books are everywhere and my stuff, well, that's everywhere too. I don't think 'Gameboy's' and 'PS2's' take up as much room as books but maybe I should make more effort to pick up the laundry. Danny's much better at that than me. He doesn't pick up my stuff on principle though and Sam moans. I just have more important things to do, like playing hockey and stuff. I have to make the most of it after all, don't I?

I do miss being useful at the mountain though. The General asks my opinion on some stuff still, like security and that, but I get more bored than ever now and that means people get annoyed. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing most of the time now, well, I never did but I definitely don't now. I have to say I do use that as an excuse sometimes though.

Earlier in the week, I decided to play a trick on the marines, took their clothes while they were showering. I thought it was hilarious, even Daniel sniggered when I told him and I was hiding in his office. The General wasn't that amused though. He removed me…to his office...by the ear. Owww! That hurt and it was more than a little embarrassing, being dragged through the SGC, by the ear. I complained to the General that the marines deserved it. He didn't agree, nor did Sam actually. She was kind of… quiet. I think she said something about being 'disappointed'. Well the General shouted and I looked at the floor, couldn't help but smirk…He saw that and put me in the corner, like a kid. He said it was to think about my actions. I did think, for a bit anyway.

Well, half an hour later he let me go with a flea in my ear and a warning to behave. Daniel actually said he saw naked marines in the corridors and he laughed. It was worth it to see Daniel laugh at least.

Anyway, that's my adolescent side. I have to say its overwhelming at times and makes for a great excuse. I know, I know, I should think of my team and my friends but I need to laugh otherwise I think I'd cry and that's strictly between you and me.

I am gutted about this, probably for Daniel more, but we've got to move on. I know I'm driving people crazy and Sam's bearing the brunt of me acting up but it's my coping mechanism, for now anyway. I'll make it up to her. She has shouted a lot, at me anyhow.

Well, she says we all need to chat about stuff later and I definitely need to talk to Danny. Otherwise he might kill me in my sleep!
