I must say, I lead a boring life. What’s the point of keeping a daily journal if nothing separates the days? Why keep a log if my metaphoric ship is in the metaphoric doldrums? Oh, that’s right! It’s an English assignment.
Today, I met the love of my life. She is a kleptomaniac. Yes, sir, she steals things uncontrollably. Today, it was five pencils, a book from a classmate, and my heart.
Not only does she deny society’s approval in that manner, but she is a manic jaywalker. It rubs against her grain to use a crosswalk. Such a bad girl, my love.
Helen of Troy may have been beautiful enough to start a buch of guys killing each other, but can she boast having stopped umpteen cavalcades in as many minutes? Nay, sir, I think not.
In conclusion (I hate this line you tell us to use), my life has been changed this day.
Alright, Mr. Schafer. You asked me to write a journal. Never once did you say it had to be true. Just be grateful I care enough to keep it free of pizza stains.

    Cute completion of the challenge, using the snippy teen voice to mock an assignment. Clever way to use all the words.

    Nice, I agree with THX ; nice use of mockery, but with a veil of romantic tones smothered like mushy glop on top. And “and my heart.” Awwwww…

    Amusing, very amusing! I love reading stories written as journals, they are interesting and read faster for me. Way to use all 5 words!

    If I really had to write an actual journal, that would be something like I would write. Good job.

    I enjoyed this one – it seems to have been the most natural out of the 5 word essays that I have read. Good job!
