Day 3
The counselor said I should keep a journal so I am.

I hate Rhode Island. It smells so bad, like I guess rotting fish. Also pee.

So on my first day in Paragon City I got mugged. That sucks. I didn't even think to blast them I was just so surprised. And now I don't have any money. Which also sucks. What a miserable city.

Also the uniforms are so ugly. I think the nuns are from like the 1500s because no one wears plaid except for on TV when they're supposed to be hicks. Also I don't really know about catholicism because we grew up kinda presbyterian. I think the nuns hate me because I don't believe in the pope. At least the one who teaches English. She doesn't know how to give As, I think.

I wish I never had this stupid power. I liked North Dakota. Everything was easy to see and flat. And things were normal except for Becky Tolliver, who's a bi---. I hope that will not piss off the nuns if they find this. I didn't actually write the word. I should've just punched her. I'd have gotten to stay home. But instead I get sent to this stupid concentration camp. Nobody's life sucks like mine.

Day 17
I don't like writing in this but mom asked me if I had when we talked on the phone so I guess I better. I guess it's not so bad here. I found a pizza place and a pet store even though they won't let us have a dog.

I still miss home. I miss mom and Karen and Josh, but I really really really miss dad. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I saw him every day while I was recovering from the accident. Now I don't see him ever.

Day 21
I CAN FLY ITS SO COOL ITS SO COOL ITS SO COOL!!!

Day 22
I wish I could have figured out how to fly back in North Dakota. If those B--ches bothered me, I could just fly away. Stupid girls. Then I could have stayed home instead of coming to smelly Rhode Island.

Still, it's not so bad. I helped out some more people today. Paragon city is a bad place for normal people. There are a lot of nasty people here.

I know this is the same page but it's night and I woke up. I want to sleep but I keep dreaming about the accident. I keep remembering Sally's scream, and then the feeling that my legs were going the wrong way. And the blood. The doctors said that if Helping Hand hadn't stopped and helped us when he did, we'd both have died within minutes. I keep wondering what if he hadn't been there.

I don't remember much about him but his face.

I'm so lonely.

I want a dog I wanna see dad I wanna go home. Stupid Rhode Island.

Day 25
I made a friend today. I don't think he's that much older than me (stupid accident, stupid traction, stupid PT!). He helped me with my math which is good because I suck at math. His name's Joey. I agreed to help him with his history, poor guy.

I also saw a blimp! *This word decorated with tiny pictures of blimps and happy smiling faces* I went up and over it! It's so cool! We don't have blimps in North Dakota.

There are also b--ches here. See nuns? I'm not swearing even though I want to. Stupid girl called me Pen. Maybe if she bothers me I'll blast her.

I won't blast her. I hate this stupid power. I never wanted to hurt anyone. Stupid Rhode Island.
