Feb. 9

It turned out my bike was just in the office.

I leaned a song. It goes:

If you miss the train I'm on,
Then you'll know that I am gone.
You can hear the whistle blow, 500 miles.

I've been crying. For the longest time.

Feb. 7

My bike was stolen.

Feb. 5

Mom soaks my back with epsom salt every evening. During this period I read "The Three Musketeers." I like D'artagan and Madame Bonacieux and Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. I hate Cardinal Richelieu.

I am almost through with Part 4.

Feb. 3 (4:30 P.M.)

Today I took two pictures of all my big horses and Ozma to send to Lori.

To the tune of "Mandy"

At my school I had such strife,
Till you came and changed my life.
Shadows in the night
Were no longer scary;
But I had to go away
And you'd made me so wary
Oh, Lori,
When you came, then you gave your heart for me.
But they took me away,
Oh, Lori!

After you came, then I grew brave.
I thought I had naught to save.
My falcons they had formed,
My beautiful horses,
Because of you they died,
It's still nightmare for us.
Oh, Lori!!!

Lori called last night. She said that the things I'd been writing about Fury would make him very angry.

Jan. 28

On Jan 26 we went go-cart racing. I was scared at first, but then I went twice.

I went to school and rode my bike around. As I went I made up the song on the next page.

To the tune of "True Blue Miracle"

I want to fly as high as the sun,
On my bolt of lightning bright,
I want to fly to my home planet,
And see my sis and friends.
But my lightning won't come when I call it,
Now that I've found my memory.
At last I've found my mem'ry,
And if that isn't a true blue miracle,
I don't know what one is.
--------
I seem to have lost my powers of magic,
I can't make my lightning come.
But I'll get home if it takes a decade,
I don't care what it takes.
Someday you'll see me flying to my real home,
I've found freedom once again.
Someday you'll see me flying to freedom,
And if that isn't a true blue miracle,
I don't know what one is.

Somehow I've gotten to thinking that I AM Staru. I wonder if I am?

Dad hung up the eagle I got for Christmas.

We have a smoke detector.

I've earned the My Camera badge.

Speaking of photos, I have only one picture of Q. Only one souvenir of the incredible bird who could climb up his cage backwards, skinny through his seed cups, and flew to me like a falcon.

Jan. 25 (morning)

It's very windy outside. I love windy days. They make me feel like trying to fly. When I try, I feel like I AM flying!

Went to beer can place and got $9.35!

To the tune of "Feelings"

Sometimes
I feel an awful letdown
As if a 1000-lb weight
Was there on my heart.
Lori
It's all because of Lori
How I wish I had her
Again in my arms!

Lori,
I'll give my life for Lori,
I wish I'd never gone away.
That keeps us apart.
Lori,
O, o, o, Lori,
I wish I'd never gone away.
You're breaking my heart.
