Okay, so I got myself suspended from using the computer for a week. No big deal, right?
They act like its my fault that some idiot decided to wave a gun around at the mall, shouting about psycho zombie
dwarves. If I didn't do something about that moron, who would? So, I got into his head and made him fall asleep.
So, of course, I'm caught at the scene by the police officers who show up after all the hard work is done. I couldn't very
well leave in case "Drawf Man" decided to wake up again. So, they arrested me, claiming I was obstructing them or some
other crap.
Isn't it sad how people get repaid for doing the right thing? I mean, who knows how many people that man would have
killed if I hadn't been shopping with Tiffany. I think it's just ridiculous. They arrest me simply because I was standing
there, next to the guy and not panicking. Thankfully, they didn't shove me in the same car with him, I probably would have
killed the man.
So, my parents were none too pleased when they came to pick me up. They grounded me and took away my phone and
the computer. I wanted to scream. Still do! They didn't actually believe that I was helping the man attack innocent
bystanders. They were more upset that I would put myself into such a dangerous situation.
Thank God there's only one more day of school before Christmas Break. That's all I have to say.

Merry Christmas to one and all. At least I hope it will be. Otherwise, what's the point of all this hassle around the
holoidays. Right?

(Sigh) Ethan gave me a wonderful little heart shaped pendant. I've never gotten jewelery from anyone before. Mainly
because I never wear it. But this, I am going to wear forever. I love it. And I love him.
Well, at least when he's not an idiot.
He dragged me to a children's shelter today, and we watched an overweight man in a bike helmet and spandex hand out
toys to the children. While I think this was a good thing, and I enjoyed helping, I am NEVER going to wear an outfit like
that. NEVER NEVER NEVER. The really sad part was that Ethan seemed to idolize this guy going through a severe
mid-life crisis. I hope he gets over this soon.

Went to the movies with my friends. Couldn't pay attention to the movie because some a**hole decided it would be a
good idea to break up with his girlfriend mid-movie. She cried and sobbed the entire time, and her thoughts kept
invading my head. Now, I'm depressed because of the empathic response from that girl and I have a headache.
I swear to you, this whole mind reading thing sucks! I really, truly despise it. I can't have a normal evening out with my
friends without something going terribly wrong to ruin the whole thing. It's really not fair to me.

Happy New Year! Golly. Another year done. Another decade done. So far this year has been the worst, and I'm just hoping
that with a clean slate, I can make this next year a hell of a lot better.
Anyway, I was supposed to go out with Ethan tonight, but my parents are still miffed about the whole getting myself
arrested thing. So, I have to spend the evening with them. Oh joy.
I hate my powers. They only cause me trouble. I wish I didn't have them. I wish I knew where they came from.
Next year is going to be a year of change for me. I am going to do things I've never done before. I am promising myself
that.
Anyway, time to go be depressed. Happy New Year to those who care.

Back to school tomorrow. Yippee. That was sarcasm by the way. If you haven't figured that out by now, then maybe you
shouldn't be reading this.
Anyway, with the new year, I am determined not to get myself into trouble, like I did most of last year. Not that any of it was
my fault mind you, but I am going to avoid trouble this year like the plague. I swear on my life, if I get in trouble, that I am
going to annihilate the person responsible. And I can do it too! I think you know that already.

SCHOOL SUCKS!!! Who in the hell gives a test the second day back from a two week break? I mean really? Am I
supposed to remember all the crap that happene during the Civil War after not reading about it for two whol weeks? NO!
It's impossible. Most teachers realize this. But not Mr. Murray. No, he has to give us a surpriose test, to make sure that we
didn't forget anything.
Well, let me tell you... you can chalk up my first failure for the year. That didn't take long, now did it?
You would think a girl that could read minds could pass a stupid test. Unfortunately, the girl in question has a thing called
morals and doesn't believe in cheating (despite what she may say). I hate my life.

A man named Quinn scared the crap out of me and Ethan today. He's a chemistry teacherre at the school. I never thought
much of him until he cornered Ethan and I in the hallway, and told us to follow him to his room. Of course, being that he
is a teacher, we obeyed.
The man hinted that he knew about our powers, which has Ethan thinking Quinn is like Nick Fury or something. I
honestly don't know what to do with him. If someone knows about our powers, the two of us are in a crapload of trouble. I
wish I could make Ethan understand that.

HOLY S#!*. Sorry, but that's pretty much the only way I can express what happened today. I thought I was going to pass
out.
Quinn has a picture of my grandfather! Not only that, but Ethan's grandfather is standing right next to him in the picture.
This is unbelievable. I've been searching for the source of my power for months now, and it turns out I got my powers
from my grandfather. He was apparently experimented on during World War II. He must have all the same powers as me.
Quinn said it was taken at a base on Long Island and it was a project called Hercules. That figures, a super-human
experiment named after a man who was half-god. Where do they come up with these names?
Anyway, Quinn didn't reveal much more, but I'll tell you, for the first time in months, I'm actually excited about school and
my powers. I can't wait to find out more.

Quinn is apparently the biggest jerk in the world. He won't even talk to me and Ethan. It's like we did something terribly
wrong and Quinn is trying to punish us. It's been nearly a week since he found us in the hall, and other than the photo he
showed us, we are no closer to discovering who we are.
Maybe I'll kill him. No, that wouldn't be right. I'll just have to wait and see what else the man knows.
