Synopsis

Hey! Im John Sullivan, a recent high school graduate who collected his thoughts and dreams and hopes and fears and all kinds of other stuff in a year-long diary through his senior year. When I finished on graduation day, I realized I had quite a collection, as a matter of fact, I had more than 400 pages! So I thought about it and realized that it had a beginning, a middle, and an end, so therefore it told a complete story, which I think might be a book if I remember my sophomore literature class correctly. I am NOT saying it is literature (ha-ha), but I do think it is a book. That is where you come in. I dont think it is much of a book if Im the only one who reads it. It is just a diary then, that will remain on the floppy disk in my computer desk in my bedroom. Instead, you could read it. And tell me what you think. And then I will know if I should have left it in that computer desk. Or not. If you do read it, youll find that I didnt leave anything out, even the stuff that might embarrass me. I could even still get into some trouble about some of it, but I think Im ok because I dont think my parents will want to read it because they were there for almost all of it, so it would be a rerun for them. I dont think reruns are bad, but they already lived through this once, so they probably dont want to get all upset allover again. So, go ahead and click away. It was an adventure for me come on along for the ride!John Sullivan is right. This is quite an undertaking for a senior in high school. But that is what it is a diary, a coming of age novel, a satire, and, incredibly, a love story. It is a unique look at one of the most important developmental periods in a persons life.
