"June 1
I doubt that I would be starting this diary if it weren’t for laptops. I had a maiden aunt who gave me a pretty, red, imitation-leather notebook with “My Diary” embossed in gold on the cover. She said every girl should start one at age eleven. If I remember right, I wrote the date on the first page and immediately lost the book.. I’m not too likely to lose this laptop, since it’s my bread and butter."
