Ok, diary, it seems some of them can, some of them can't...
I think you deserve a name friend!
I don't even know you and you are nothing but paper but i've already had so much fun talking to you!
I'll call you.... Um...
Something that starts with d....
Daisy? no too feminine...

Devon! Devon.
From now on, dear diary friend, i'll call you Devon.
If i remember to do so.
urgh... ok.
What... else...
Oh right! The butcher shop!
How could i forget that
Mom asked me to go get some meat
but i got a bit intimidated because the guy behind the counter is big and... eerrhgh.
But i got the meat she wanted for lunch, i think...
hmm... no i can't remember what she asked for.
And i don't really want to ask her just for the completeness of this..
Anything else?
No.. i don't think...
Not much has been happening lately, i've just been chatting with my friends on my phone...
I kinda wanna get a new one but i don't think it's essential enough.
Oh, you wanna know about my friends? Oh of course uhm- uhh DEVON
Devon, sorry for forgetting your name.
It's fine? Ok.
My friends i've met at school... at great expense.
I don't really talk with them much in person but we like to chat on the phone about what's been hapenning.
We also like to play games together sometimes...
I.. think they like me?
Oh no...
I- shouldn't..
Ugh now i'm stuck wondering if they ACTUALLY LIKE MEEEEheheheheeee
ugghhhhhhh
should i just-
ask them?
Would that be too much... for them?
I- i-
i have to now. one moment Devon.
(several minutes pass as Albany chats with their friends)
Oh hi- uhm sorry i forgot to talk to you in a while- hehe
They just are really nice to talk to.
Anyways, yes they do like me.
That was nice to hear. very nice.
Hmmmmm... huh...
I love my friends. They mean so much to me.
We know our problems..
Anyways, i think that's it!
That's pretty much all that happened today.
...
Ugh the tv's so loud i can hear it here in my room. Closed doors and all.
I don't want them to see me writing my diary...
Someone's... died?
I hate the news.
