Dear diary,
Cloudy day today.
Lil bro’s an idiot. Asked him to come with to town. Didn’t wanna. Told him I’d fill out the app for him. Said he didn’t wanna do pen pals anymore. Told him I saw the letter. He didn’t say anything else ‘til we got to town.
Hope Elias has kids one day. Maybe then me & bro can do whatever. Kind of lucky that it was just some guy he’s never met. Harder when you figure it out with someone closer to home. Had some extra cash, so we had some snacks. Calmed him down a little. Agreed to sign up and give it another try. Picked up forms on the way home. Still can’t do mom’s signature, but it only needs dad’s.
After we got home, bro let me read some letters. Wrote every letter twice apparently so he’d have copies. Kept all the ones he got from his pal. Kinda creepy. Not sure if he should get rid of them. Probably fine. Everyone’s way too busy with their own stuff to read all this crap. Tempted to tell him to get rid of them anyway. Would love to have some space in the desk again.
Taking another look while he helps mom & Grandma Doda make dinner. Soup again tonight for us. Maybe I can swipe some of the curry they’re making for the guests. Getting off-topic.
Bro fell in pretty deep. Other guy did too. Trying not to gag from poems. Is he really into this stuff? Know how to cheer him up when he’s really down but don’t know if I can actually pull it off. Worth a shot.
I’ll let you know how it goes, diary.
