They're holding try-outs for the school play next week. They're doing Trial of the Warrior Necromancer. Mackenzie Strickland is gonna be playing Princess Genesis'driel, so if I got to be Brennen'bimbor I'd get to kiss her! Last time I tried out for a play, though, I had to be the stupid dog, so it's probably not worth the gamble.

There's this totally cute new girl at school! Her name is Veronica Matthews and she's fantastic. I mean, she's a little weird; her mom packs her these gross organic lunches, and if she even smells a peanut, she gets all swollen and has to lie down, but she's still awesome. I wonder if she's into raising Lucky Surprise Eggs? I dunno. How do you talk to girls?
