An average sized journal, this one was covered with layers of fabric and paint and marker. The covers had obviously been decorated several times, and it made for an interesting textural and visual composition. Inside are the records of one Riley Aisling McLoughlin.

We're here. In this crappy place called Rhy"Din. There's like, one place to go to hang out and drink that's near the house. And Mum and Daa go there too. I have no where to go to get away from them! At least at home there were places to go that they didn't go. It was sooo embarrassing! I had snuck away earlier and went to the Red Dragon Inn to explore, and I met this cute guy there, Cameron. We flirted a lot, and then I ended up heading back home to do some unpacking, then I left again go back to that place, and he was there again! So I'm sitting in his lap and we're flirting and laughing and Mum comes in" And that was it. Completely killed my chance at looking cool. She and I got into a screaming match, and then Daa comes! Cameron ran for the kitchen and Daa went after him. I managed to stop him by crying, but the damage was done. All those people were staring and watching! It was awful! So then they sent me home...But I slipped around to the back and found Cameron again. And he asked my age so I had to tell him that I'm 17. And he said I'm too young. Oh my gawd. Too young for what? It's not like I wanted to do him right there or anything! Too young to have a little bit of fun" But whatever, I'm sure I can find someone else to hang out with around there. Surely not everyone saw that awful display with me and the 'rents. They act like I had nothing back home, like I didn't leave any important people behind...What am I supposed to do here" I don't know anybody, so I was trying to make friends. I don't know...I miss Sean...And Mary and Dahling and Shannon...I just wish I had somebody to talk to. I miss Ireland...I need to think of something to do...I guess I'll redo my room from what it was. Nothing in this place is the same so why should my room be the same? At least I've got my own room. I had to fight for this one but I did get it, finally. No way was I letting one of the brats have the best room in the house. And I'm putting a lock on the door to keep them from messing any of my art up. There is a marketplace near by, maybe I'll be able to find some materials to work with that we don't have back home. Or at least some interesting fabrics so that I can make some cool clothes or a comforter for my bed. I suppose I should try and get some sleep now, maybe by tomorrow those people will have forgotten about me getting yelled at...Or maybe I'll wake up at home and this is all a bad dream. That would be really, really good.
