Hmmm....been a while since I kept one of these. SO I guess I'd better start with...
Dear Diary,
My first day of school...so what can I say? Well, after dodging Jeeves at the airport, I finally arrived at the main campus after listening to the cabbie prattle on and on about a bunch of random crap I really wasn't interested in. East coast, west coast, I guess cab rides are the same no matter what side of the country you're on.
So anyway, once I got to the campus I was really amazed by how big it is. And the architecture is absolutly amazing. Totally makes my old public shool look like a low-rent housing project ( I know, I know, and after I begged them not to send me to prep school when I was 12, guess I shouldn't talk too much trash about the old place, I miss you Candy and Beth!!).
So when I got to the office and turned in my admission forms, they set me up with an upperclassmen to kinda show me around then get me settled into my dorm. Her name's Ayane. She's kinda nerdy but still seems pretty cool, and at least she was nice to me through the whole thing. She also introduced me to a couple of other students. They all were pretty welcoming for the most part, except for that green girl with the horns, after she tried to lock us in a storage room. What was her name again? Sasky? Suskya? I don't remember...
Well, after spending the day walking around and seeing all the facilities she showed me to my dorm. It's a single for now, although that's just temporary I guess. I'll get my quad assignment in a few days or so. I'm looking forward to seeing who my new roomates are. Well, I guess I'd better hop off to bed now seeing as I have my first class at 7:30 and It's already getting late. I'll write somemore soon. Nighters!!

Dear Diary,
So I finally got moved into my new quad and I've got some great roomates! First there's Sandy, she can make herself into this huge stone thing-a-majigger! I was totally shocked the first time she did it but it was really amazing to see. She has a special walled off, sound proof sleeping area connected to the main room on acount of she has some problems controlling her stone-form thing while she's a sleep and it can get pretty noisy.
Then there's Sammy. She's pretty cool and really outgoing. She's a bit of a sports nut and already has a spot on the football team. We don't have much in common but it's easy to talk to her which is all good in my book.
Joni's a little different from my other hearty roomates. She...well....sleeps in a toaster-oven.....thing.....and has some problems staying warm. She's really shy compared to Sandy and Sam, but she has this really cute disposition and these totally adorable ears! I think she and I could be good friends if I could just get her to open up a little more.
And then there's me. I guess I ought to mention a bit about my own powers seeing as that's the reason I'm going to this school after all.
What to say, what to say...? Well, I guess it should be said that my family, all 120 something of them (the immediate members that is), has no history of 'super powers' what so ever. Sure my mom knows some Taoist magic, but she learned it through study, and it's by no means anything of the 'super' variety. Also being that I'm an only child and deffinatly not adopted, you could say I a 'freak' in more ways than just a 'turns people green' kinda way.
The first time I did anything abnormal.....well....I was kissing this girl under the bleachers durring our high school home coming game. Needless to say she wasn't very happy to suddenly be a walking night-light. And....ah....most of the faculty wasn't too impressed either, not to mention my parents. Oh, not about the whole 'kissing a girl' thing. My family's pretty openminded when it comes to that kind of thing (many of my cousins and other relatives swing in various directions) so me liking girls came as no suprise. But having powers? Well, lets just say that even though California is known as pretty 'morally lax' in the traditional values sense, they still have a few issues to work out about those with 'special gifts'. ( On a side note....this is how I got that embarrassing nickname if you couldn't guess
)
So what happened next? Doctors of course. Then specialists. To explain it simply I control matter at the molecular level. I can speed up someone's motabalism, make thier bodies heal quickly, make them feel tired and weak, and gather it into little pockets and convert it into massive amounts of energy.....Mom wasn't happy the first time I did this. Kinda ruined a $20,000 table cloth (like the value isn't the equivalent of pocket change to us or anything). So, after the doctors said I just had to learn to live with it, Daddy made some phone calls to some very important people ( a useless gesture, considering he could have just looked this place up on the internet. But hey! if it makes him feel better doin it his way....?) and here I am!
So I guess that's enough prattling on about myself for one night. Class in the morning! Nighters!!

Dear Diary,
I caught a cold.......
This totaly sucks! There's a get-together going on tonight at Pocket D. I still haven't made many friends around here, other than my roomates I guess, and was really looking forward to just going and meeting some more people from around campus. And I haven't been dancing once since I left home!! Well maybe I'll try and go for a little while.... just hope I don't embarrass myself by snotting all over someone. (It's kinda got a green glow to it.....god, I really am a freak!) Laters.

Dear Diary,
Guess it's been a few weeks since I last wrote. Well....the thing at D wasn't TOO bad. I only managed to blow glowing snot on everyone once.... and no one got TOO terribly upset about it. There was this girl, Rudi I think, well she blasted me with.....something......and what do you know? My cold was completely gone within a few minutes. Wish I knew how she pulled it off, might be able to take care of it myself next time.....
Lets see....what else is new? Oh!! I learned to do something new!!
Ok.....ready for this? I can Teleport!!! How cool is that? I'm still trying to get the kinks worked out of it, but it's getting easier all the time. Well, there have been some embarrassing moments, like finding my self hanging from the roof of the chaple in the middle of the night or the fact that everytime I sneeze or hiccup I'm standing in a different spot..... I'm sure I'll get it under control soon......er.....I hope.
Well, I'm starting to get a bit hungry, so I'll tell ya about my progress in a couple of days. Laters!

Dear Diary,
Been feeling strange lately. Not sick per say, just...I don't know...off. I haven't been sleeping much, and I can barely seem to eat. I've been spending alot of time at night on the chapel roof trying not to bug my roomates. Well, Sam mostly, Joni's in her oven and Sandy's in the sound proof addition so I don't have to worry about them too much. Then there's this...I don't know...glow I keep seeing. It's always off in my peripheral, just out of sight. Kinda starting to drive me nuts. I try and focus on it but it just vanishes or moves further beyond my point of focus. I keep thinking I should go see the nurse, but nothing seems so severe that I should bother her with it.

Dear Diary,
It's been getting worse...
I haven't slept in a week now. I try to close my eyes and drift off but it's like my body won't shut itself down. It's...borring... I can't seem to find enough to do to pass the time. And the nuns keep getting on me about pacing the halls all night long. "Back to your room Ms. Johnson, it's after lights out." If I hear that one more time, I swear...
Next on the list of strange? I haven't been able to eat or drink anything either. I tried, but the end results were me throwing up something best left for the horror movies. I know I should probably go and see a doctor, but, I guess I'm just afraid of what they'll find. What the hell am I turning into?

Dear Diary,
Life gets so confusing sometimes. There I was making another 'Firday the 13th' mess in the bathroom after lunch period (no, I'm still not eating), when in walks some freshman (don't remember her name). Of course she mistook my up-chucking for bulimia and ran off and told a teacher. I guess I can't really blame her, seeing as the timing was pretty bad and I am pretty freakin' skinny. I mean, from her point of view, either the fish sticks were funky or I was binge purging. So anyway, I got hauled into the guidance councilor's office, and had to sit through a whole long lecture, like "You're such a pretty young woman already, you don't need to do something so unheathly to try and fit some preconceived notion about how thin you should be...." bla bla bla. You know what I mean.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting there starting to feel sick again, when I suddenly start puking more gore all over his desk. Nasty! So he finally takes my previous protests of "I'm not freakin' bulimic!' seriously and I get rushed off to the infirmary. *sigh* I guess I had to see someone about it eventually.
So, what do they find? Well...seems all the nasty stuff I've been barfing up over the past few weeks turns out to be a number of my major organs... It's no wonder I can't eat, I don't even have a freakin' stomach!!! (How can you chunk without a stomach you ask? I still have an esophagus...it's just not attached to anything!!!) They arn't even sure how I can still be alive, and seemingly heathy otherwise. God I'm such a freak...

Dear Diary,
Alright, so, today I'm gonna stop complaining about my freakshow of a body and tell you about a boy. I know, I know...I'm not really atracted to boys but this guy was a little different than most. His name's Roo, or Jade Rooster, as he calls himself. So there I was, hanging out in this little public hot tub out in New Overbrook, with a couple of others from school, when along comes this cute little 'kung-fu' boy. I don't know what it is about martial artists that totally gets me....Whew! So anyway, we got to talking about a little of everything and somthing about his personality just said 'Kiss Me!' So good ol' spontanious Lei did just that! I can't even believe it myself... Well, after it was over it kind of hit me that, maybe I kinda went a little too overboard. I mean, I guess I didn't catch it at first, but, I got the feeling he hasn't kissed too many girls before. His personality is so....innocent....I guess I should have figured it out before I locked lips with him. Anyway, he totally turned bright red and got pretty quiet for the rest of the night. I guess I'll have to appologize to him. Really, I have NO idea what was going through this crazy head of mine....

Dear Diary,
Disassociation, n. separation of an idea or feeling from the main stream of consciousness.
I feel so lost right now. I think all these changes are taking a toll on me. I haven't been to class in a week... I've just been wandering the city with no purpose. I just can't seem to help but feel a separation from the rest of humanity. What am I? What the hell am I changing into? I feel like the only resemblence I have to the people around me is only what's on the surface...and I'm even beginning to doubt that. My appearance even seems to be starting some kind of change. My hair has gone from my natural red to a glowing blonde. I keep pulling strands out just to watch them pulse with an innner light. What's next? Burning eyes and wings?
I did something today that made me feel ashamed. Actually....it was something I didn't do... I saw a woman being mugged in an alleyway. I knew what I should have done, I should have used my powers to stop it. All it would have taken was a simple blast into the wall near by and it would have probably scared the thug off...but I didn't. I just tucked my 'Pin' into a pocket and kept walking... I kept thinking to myself, 'It's not worth it, let those humans brutalize each other. It's got nothing to do with me...'
I'm such a monster...

Dear Diary,
I think my recent elusiveness was noticed by some of my classmates. I was indtroduced to someone today....someone I think I can actually relate to.
Glowing green hair.
It was beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off it. And her atoms gave off the most comforting energy I've ever felt in my life. Their structure was magnificent.
Her name is Pluto.
Her body seems to be similar to mine. There are some subtle differences, like how she could sleep or eat if she chose to, but she doen't have to. It felt....comforting...to find someone like her in the world. Like maybe I'm not completely alone.
We talked for....god.....it seemed like hours. Things that I've never been able to talk about with anyone before. I'd tried to but no one else ever Really understood it. I guess after talking to her I don't feel such a gap between myself and the rest of the world.
Maybe I'll go on patrol tomorrow. Give a little helping hand to someone in need...

Dear Diary,
I'm not really sure how long it's been since I last wrote. Even looking at a calender or a clock doesn't seem to help. My sense of time seems to be getting pretty screwed up. I've been...gone...
It's a special place all my own, yet I share it with everyone around me. I just...release my bonds. The bonds that hold my body together, and let my particles drift. It's comforting there, in this place between. My mind can move freely amongst my atoms. I can attach them to anything, or anyone. I can see what they see, and sometimes it almost feels like I can feel what they're feeling too.
It's intoxicating.
It's rapture.

Dear Diary,
I've decided to stop going to my 'special place' for a while, for a couple of reasons actually. For starters, my teachers have really started to take notice of my absenses. It was a little messy and I think I was pretty close to getting kicked out of school for it. Unfortunatly, my Dad ended up getting involved in it too. He pulled some strings and I get to stay, but he was pretty steamed about the whole deal.
The second reason is, I started getting these awful headaches when I would come back. Like, reeeeally bad ones. And they seem to get worse the more often I do it.
And the last reason is....gawd, I'm starting to blush...
I have a girlfriend.
Her names Summer. She's short, has beautiful white hair, and she's pretty smart. A little sharp tongued, but I guess I kinda like that about her. What else is there to say? I like her alot, and she makes me feel good inside.

Dear Diary,
Got a call from Dad today, and it turned into a big argument. Seems they saw a certain article on the internet from a few weeks back. I guess I'd better explain that, see, it's not like it was anywhere close to national headlines. Far from it actually. All I did was stop some dumb punk Hellion from grabbing a womans purse. Big whoop, right? Happens all the time. Well anyway, the lady whose purse I saved turned out to be some kinda no name reporter from a tiny news web site. So she decided then and there she wanted to do an interview. She kept going on and on about 'A profile todays youths who do the right thing' or some such garbage. I guess I was feeling kinda flattered by the attention she was giving me so I went along with it. I mean, the whole thing was a little embarrassing, but it kind made me feel important or something at the time.
Right, so Dad 'magicaly' stumbles upon and reads the article, and the next thing I know he's upset about where my life is headed. We really got into it too. He kept going on about how 'Someday, Li-Mei, you'll take over for me as head of the company. I know your different but doing this kind of thing won't lead anywhere. You need to start focusing on skills you'll need in the real world, not this crime-fighting fantasy stuff.' Agh! It's like he's afraid I'm going to become some deadbeat vigilanty, who can't hold a job, and spends all day running around the city beating people up. Right, using my powers to help others makes me violent neanderthal and a bum to boot.
So it ended with a shouting match. He just doesn't understand. I know someday I'll have some major responsibilities to take up from him, but at the same time I'm always going to have these abilities. It's not like I can just turn them off and be normal like he seems to want. They're mine, to do with as I please, and I choose to use them to help people. So why can't I get through to him that maybe I can do both?
Adults are so damn confusing...

He kept going on about how 'Someday, Li-Mei, you'll take over for me as head of the company. I know your different but doing this kind of thing won't lead anywhere. You need to start focusing on skills you'll need in the real world, not this crime-fighting fantasy stuff.' Agh! It's like he's afraid I'm going to become some deadbeat vigilanty, who can't hold a job, and spends all day running around the city beating people up. Right, using my powers to help others makes me violent neanderthal and a bum to boot.
So it ended with a shouting match. He just doesn't understand. I know someday I'll have some major responsibilities to take up from him, but at the same time I'm always going to have these abilities. It's not like I can just turn them off and be normal like he seems to want. They're mine, to do with as I please, and I choose to use them to help people. So why can't I get through to him that maybe I can do both?
Adults are so damn confusing...

Dear Diary,
War.
Lot's of hurt inside.
Haven't wanted to think about anything. And even though the hostilities have been mostly contained and life's getting back to normal, I don't really want to think much about it much less talk about it. Maybe someday I'll be able to let it out, just not right now.
