My journey into online journaling began with one little entry written on the day that my normal, boring life literally went up in flames. You see, I didn't carry a notebook that I could lose or leave wide open for anyone to find. I learned my lesson when I was in seond grade. One day in class, I wrote on the back of my worksheet "Sara Masters is mean and has a big head" in huge purple-crayon letters. I was mad that she hadn't invited me to her birthday party even though I had invited her to mine the summer before. As you might guess, I lost the worksheet. Jenny Sutton found it and showed it to Sara, who cried and told our teacher. (It wasn't likw I was lying or anything. Sara really did have an abnormally large head for a seven-year-old.) But my blog was different. It was password-protected specifically so another incident like that wouldn't happen. Looking back, I guess putting it online wasn't the best idea, but having a blog made it so easy to add entries whenever I wanted, even while I was at school. And I could type faster that I could write in a diary anyway. I started the blog just to get out all the thoughts that were jumping around in my head about the various disasters in my life. I never imagined that it would become the cause of a much bigger drama. I should have known something would happen eventually. Angel has always tried to ruin my life. For example, today she announced in a loud voice that my dingy granny panties were hanging out of the waistband of my pants. In the cafeteria. In front of my friends and nearly half of the kids at school. Figures she'd decide to do that on laundry day, when all my nice underwear was in the washing machine. Sometimes, even passwords can't keep out the person whose only goal in life is to make you miserable...
