Feb 18/89

People are talking about my Mom at school. Mrs. 
Rhodes the guidance counselor used me as an example 
of selflessness in class today, and I wanted to run 
away. One of the kids teased me about it after and 
I almost got in a fight. Brian stepped in and I was 
able to talk my way out of it. I can often talk my 
way out of things, just like I could talk my Mom 
into tears. Dad said he was proud of me at dinner 
tonight and I felt like crying, but I didn't. Boys 
aren't supposed to cry. Dad never does, except that 
once. We all watched a Marx Brothers movie later, 
and Mom even laughed a bit. It really upset me 
though, and I don't know why. I always liked the 
Marx Brothers, and Star Trek.

Feb 20/89

Had a great time at computer club. I have always 
been good with computers, but now I am getting 
really good. I can do more things than anyone, and 
hack into almost anything. I almost got into 
trouble when Mr. Warden came in while I was looking 
through long distance phone records, but I 
shouldn't have been because he doesn't really care. 
I think he's a drunk. The exponential function 
turns multiplication into adding. I've decided to 
stop watching TV, since it just seems to bug me too 
much. It's just too much, kind of.
