Dear Diary,

Since this is my first entry let me introduce myself to you since you will be the protector of all my secrets and embarrassments. I am Mariah Ambrose, a plain Jane from Veronaville.



I decided to get a diary to chronicle my life and hopefully my transition to the person I want to become. Just the other day I was hit with a revelation. “Hit” maybe the wrong word in this instance perhaps, rammed over a bridge by a semi at 100 miles an hour into a starved alligator infested river would be more accurate to describe the shock to my system I received. It all started as a normal day in the life of Mariah the Pariah. I woke up, rolled out of bed and immediately went in search of food. As  I was leaving my room I got assaulted by THEE mirror.



I now consider it the mirror of doom, and honestly I would like to file assault charges on that stinking little thing. Anyway, I walked past the mirror and something made me turn my head to look at it. Whatever it was I would like to have some words with it. I was confused for a moment, but the confusion swiftly turned into disbelief. That person in the mirror was....me!



How did I let myself go like that? I looked like death warmed over by a microwave with an extra helping of lard.  I was devastated!



I ran outside hoping some sunshine would help calm me down. I walked around the neighborhood in a pathetic little bubble of misery. I was pained! Worst yet, everywhere I turned their seemed to be a smiling happy couple. Apparently, while I was stuffing my face with nachos every one else was finding  the love of their lives. I had reached a new low! I thought it was impossible to get any lower then this morning but here was proof. I was so low, an ant couldn't even limbo under my lowness. Mariah the pariah was not only fat and fugly, but I was lonely too.



I needed help, and I knew just where to look. Let me introduce you to my sister Mikala.




She's disgustingly beautiful, right? You would assume by looking at her that she would be my younger sister by at least 10 years. Well, you know what they say about assumptions. That is Mikala my sister, let me be more specific, my TWIN sister. Once in our life we were identical, but over the years our similarities in not only looks, but in interests have spread farther and farther apart. I would love to say that were best friends and we embrace one another's differences but we don't. We dislike each other, intensely. It's actually amazing the animosity we have for one another.

It all started in middle school when she got into private school and I didn't. I was jealous and she was more then happy to rub her success in my face and from then we've been oil and water. You would think when our parents died  when we were only 16 , and all we had left in this world was each other that we would mend fences, no. Granted, we do love each other and we always make sure the other is taken care of. Or in my case, Mikala always takes care of me. That's the main reason why even to this day, 10 years from when our parents died, we still live together in a house my sister recently built for just us. The house is designed to limit as much as possible having to encounter the other person.



Oh no, I've catapulted off topic! Sorry, now returning you to your original program of miserable revelation. Where were we? Ah, yes help! I knew the perfect person to help me and I knew only one way to ensure she would. I called her down and I...begged.



I was surprised that she didn't demand more groveling. She actually did the unthinkable...she listened. She honestly listened to what I was saying and considering  helping me



Mikala: How serious are you?
Mariah: What do you see me? I'm so serious. More serious then I've ever been. I'm so focused, right now.
Mikala: So, tell me exactly what you want me to do for you?
Mariah:I want you to help beautify me, and find me a soul mate. I want you to help give me my life back.
Mikala: It's not going to be an over night success, you are aware.
Mariah: I am, I understand completely.
Mikala: You'll need to eat a balanced diet, workout, work on your people skills, fashion sense, and find a job! You have to fix yourself, become confident in who you are and proud of what you accomplished  before you start looking for a soul mate.
Mariah: That sounds sweet to me! Show me the way.

She commenced to list off things we needed to do and change so that I could be successful.



I was excited starting tomorrow I was going to start the plan that would change my life![/SIZE][/FONT]



Let me know what you guys think! Should I continue[COLOR="Sienna]?[/COLOR]
