complained about Sue's odd behavior. He was sympathetic. Bruce thought it was pregnancy related. I also complained about Sue's rudeness. Bruce didn't help at all. Sue came out of her room and rudely told me to get off. She was expecting a call. I rudely asked her who she was expecting to call. She wouldn't tell me. I signed off then Sue pushed me out of the way. She called Sean. She wouldn't let me stay and eavesdrop. Sigh. I feel I can't wait for Sue to move out. After her call I asked her if she could move in with Sean since she loves him.

  Sue rudely told me "It's none of your business."

  Not again. She went to her room. I called Sean. I asked him when I could report to work. He told me to come over tomorrow around 10am. I hope I remember. Then we signed off. Sean had a look of disgust on his face. It was the same look on Sue's face. I'm getting worried about Sue. I called Lad and told him Sue's behavior. He has an idea on what could be causing her to do that. He'll call me back later. I told him about Sean having a face of disgust when I talked to him. Lad confirmed that Sean is a perfectionist. He suspects it might explain Sue's behavior. We talked in sign language. I kept my eye towards the kitchen. I kept expecting to see Sue. We signed off. I have awhile to do. I still haven't found the vacuum cleaner. I knocked on Sue’s door and receive no answer. The door was locked. I hope she's okay. I don't have much to do tonight. I have to go to bed early. I plan to get up at 8am tomorrow.

  Dear Anne,

  I got up really early in the morning. Something bothered me. I couldn't explain it but I found my light in my room flashing. I went to check on the phone it was the doorbell. I didn't see Sue. I found Lad. He told me to pack a bag and move in with him. I asked him why. He explained its best I stay away from Sue. She's showing signs of a perfectionist. I went to my room and packed a bag full of clothes. I included my journal. Then I saw Sue who came out of her room to see what the fuss was. She was wondering where I'm going. I explained I'm going to Bruce's house to stay. I couldn't stand another minute with my rude friend. Sue seemed relieved to see me go. I went to Bruce's house. Lad let me in. I told him about my appointment with Sean at 10am. Lad told me he's coming along as my driver. I stayed in the same bedroom as before. Lad woke me up at 8am. Lad drove me in the flying mini van to the community area where the hospital was thru the fog. He came in with me. Sean inspected my arm. He took the cast off and examined my arm. My arm felt better but itchy. He told me my arm was better for working tomorrow. Then he prescribed some pills for me to take for the pain. Lad drove me home again thru the fog. He told me not to take the pills. He thinks they might kill me. So I threw them in my bag. I went back to bed. I was tired. I slept in my clothes. My alarm clock woke me up at 12pm. I went downstairs to call Anna. I saw Bruce in his pajamas. His hair looked really messy looking. It was funny. I think Bruce was embarrassed. I called Anna and told her about Sean telling me to go to work tomorrow. Anna told me to show up for work. I showed on the video the pills Sean gave me. Anna told me to throw them out. She added Sean was a perfectionist. I told her about Sue's odd behavior. She confirmed what Lad told me, a perfectionist. I'm very sad I lost my best friend. We signed off. I threw out the pills. I cooked a cheese sandwich for lunch along with milk to drink. I'm glad I can eat this stuff. I went to my room to take a nap. I slept for an hour and a half. I asked Lad about my cats.

  He told me "We might get them once Sue is out of the house."

  It's going to be awhile because Sue is house bound. I took a nap dreaming of running in the forest in a wolf form then Bruce woke me up by tapping my shoulder. I'm surprised he didn't kiss me. He told me it was dinnertime. I went to my room. The bedroom had a TV. I used to work on my gymnastics website. It got a new layout. I checked my Lance Richard website. I got negative e-mails in the guestbook. Mostly were in swearing words. I checked my High Council website. I got positive e-mails using swear words. I'm annoyed about that. I can't write it down. I hope Sue remembers to feed the cats. I walked over to her house and rang the doorbell no answer. I let myself in. Sue's door was open. I found Sue lying on the rug unconscious. I called the hospital. The ambulance came in five minutes. It took her to the hospital. I called Lad and told him about Sue. He told me to pack up the kittens and bring them over. I put Victoria and Demeter in a cat carrier. There was a hole on top of the carrier for them to stick their noses out. It was cute of them. I hauled the cat carrier and the machine to Lad's house. The kittens were interested in the scenery outside. It's been a while since they been outside. They're indoor cats. They came out of the carrier pretty fast. I guess they don't like it. I called the hospital and asked them about Sue. The lady with a look of disgust on her face told me Sue fainted because of depression. Sue will be staying in the hospital for a few days. I don't think Lad will let me visit her. I got off the phone. Bruce used it. He called his father who's in Canada. I didn't stay to eavesdrop. I went to my room. I think I'll take my shower now. I have to work tomorrow.

  Dear Anne,

  I decided to take a day off from writing in here. My left arm felt fine. I think I recovered from the bullet wound. I can't believe we still haven't outgrown violence. Work yesterday was not fine. Customers were rude to me. They treated me like a servant.

  "You wrench! Find me this, or find me that."

  I'm not a servant. I work here period. I didn't see Sue. I told Anna she's in the hospital due to depression. I'm happy Sue is out of the house. I don't want her alone in the house. I want her else where with friends. It was back to work. I ate an apple. I saw Georgia and talked to her. She shyly told me she's on a break from the community room office. I asked Anna if Georgia believes in perfection. Anna told me no. I hope Georgia believes in toleration for others like Anna. I checked the schedule board in the break room. Sue is off all week. How nice of Anna. I don't think I can work with her. Lad drove me to his house. Bruce was there at home with dinner ready. It was great to eat. I had an apple for snack. I wonder if I could visit Sue. I asked Lad about visiting Sue. He thought it was a good idea but he seemed hesitant. It was snowing outside. Lad drove me to the hospital same way as before thru that fog. He went with me to Sue's room. She was alone in bed. I said hi her. She only stared at me. Sigh. Then Lad and I left to home. At my house I packed the rest of my clothes in a bag and brought them over to Lad's house. I took an early shower. I have to get up early tomorrow. I hope I could work somewhere else besides working at the store. Sigh.

  Today at work the customers were rude again. They treated me like a servant.

  "Do this, or do that." they said.

  Humph. Rude. I came to my locker and found employee Nathan trying to open my lock. I was mad. I'm not in a good mood. Someone left junk food in the machines. I have a feeling a lot of people here believe in perfection. I can't wait to move out of here. I'm not in a good mood. I hate my job and my life. I'm feeling depressed. I went to the break room to scream. I found most of the employees there. They all stopped talking when I arrived. I went to use the drinking fountain. The water came out green. I left the break room and told Anna about finding the employees there. I added about the drinking fountain. Anna got a little mad when I told her this. She went to the break room. Several employees came out with annoyance on their faces. I saw looks of disgust on their faces when they saw me. Anna hasn't explained the drinking fountain. I'm annoyed with my life here. I could just move to somewhere else. It'll be nice to move. Maybe I could live in Canada. I don't think I can take another eight hours of hell. Work was not fine. The customers and the employees were rude to me. The customers expected me to find something for them. The employees were lazy. They expected me to clean a mess for them. I put my foot down on cleaning for them. I even helped the rude customers. After work Lad drove me home to his house. It was great to see Bruce.

  I taped my diary to my leg under my tights. I wanted it on me at all times. The n
ews talked about the shuttle landing in Edenia the green moon in the sky. The news showed a message from the crew. The crew is doing fine. It'll be nice to go to Edenia someday.

  Crazy Day,

  Dear Anne,

  I woke up when I felt a loud boom. It scared me. I have no idea what caused the boom. I got up. The boom woke me up. I'm annoyed. It's a good thing. I forgot to set my clock to wake me up. Bruce came in my room he told me my house exploded in a fire. I got up and got dressed. Then I went downstairs to the living room to look out the window. There was a pile of rubble with fires on it. It was right where the house once stood. I'm grateful I packed my stuff with me. I can't believe someone would do that. I'm glad Lad made me stay with him. I asked Lad about living in Canada. I wanted to leave town because of the perfectionists. Lad though it was a good idea. He gave me two suitcases to put my clothes in. I packed my clothes in the suitcases. I taped my diary along with a pen to my leg under the same spot, my tights. I had been doing that for a long time. I called work and explained to Anna I won't be in work today. Anna seemed
