so, i was sorting through my bedroom downstairs and found this pad of paper that nana gave me for christmas and decided to start writing in it. i don't know what i'm going to write, but i'm totally bored so let's just start doing it and see what happens.
i wish i had something to do, but i guess i'm a weird kid. i don't really have any friends in the neighbourhood. i used to go out and play sometimes, but the kids in the neighbourhood were always mean to me and tried to hurt me, so now i try to stay inside, instead, so they don't hurt me. it's only here at mom's that there's mean kids. there aren't mean kids at dad's because there aren't really any kids around at all. i go out really early in the morning sometimes to go for a bicycle ride around the neighbourhood, but i try to come in before the mean kids wake up.
some of the other kids like to stay inside and play their nintendos, but i don't have one of those. dad has an atari, but there's nothing like that here at mom's. so, i mostly stay inside and read, instead.
i used to have a room upstairs, but i moved downstairs this year because mom is pregnant. so, the baby is going to have my old room. that's ok - i like the basement better because i can stay up late and do what i want. also, mom smokes a lot, so it's nice to have cleaner air in the basement. you can really notice it when you go upstairs, a lot. and, there's a tv down here, too.
i guess i'm bored because school is over. i just finished grade two. mom wants to send me to a different school next year on the army base because she thinks that kids should have big yards to play in, and the school i go to has too much concrete. dad wants me to stay at the old school because it will be better for me socially to be around kids i live near. mom thinks that's silly because i stay inside anyways and dad thinks it's dumb to change schools because of the yard. i usually spend recess in the library anyways, so i don't really have an opinion on the matter. maybe there might be kids i can get along with better at the new school, and maybe there won't be. i don't know, really.
right now, i wish i had something to do besides watch tv. maybe i'll go outside after all.
i don't know if i'll keep writing here or not, but i guess that's it for today.
