Synopsis
January
Greg says how he wanted to keep a journal when he was much younger,because he thinks that whoever will write his bio will have a lot of questions about his childhood,Greg says luckily he remembers them all and says he even knew about things that happened before he was born,he was in a dark space swimming around,doing backflips and taking naps whenever he wanted,then his Mom would wake him out of his nap by turning on classical music,because she thinks it might make Greg genius when he is born and she would tell Greg about her day and would make frank also tell Greg about his day at work and she would also read out to Greg for a half-hour till she went to sleep,Greg could listen everything thing she says,even if he didn't wanted to and whenever his parents kiss he kicks and the kiss again make it worser for Greg.
Then a few months later Greg was born and when he was in delivery room he was in a very lousy mood yelling and crying and wanted to tell the doctor to put him back,Greg still tries to recreate that feeling by adding bubble bath in the tub and folding his eyes.
Greg used to think he was the only child untill he met Rodrick,this dissappointed him,back then his family used to live in a small apartment so Rodrick had to sleep on the crib,while Greg in the dresser drawer,but then his Dad moved away and he got the crib and Rodrick got a bed.

Excerpts
- I looked for a way to escape, but I was trapped. Luckily, Abigail walked out of the bathroom at that exact moment and I grabbed her hand just before Ruby got to me. Abigail's makeup was a mess from all of the crying, but I didn't really care. I was just happy to have an excuse to get away from Ruby. And to be honest with you, I think Abigail was happy to see me, too, so I led her to an empty spot on the dance floor.
- I'd never slow-danced with a girl before, So I didn't know where I was supposed to put my hands. She put hers on my shoulder, and I put mine in my pockets, but that kind of felt dumb. So we met in the middle, and that seemed about right.
- "And speaking of Rowley and Abigail, I heard that the two of them are a couple now. All I can say is if that's true, it makes Rowley 'the worst wingman in history.'" - Greg Heffley
- Im supposed to stay home from school for at least a week. The good news is that with everyone out of the house, I can take a long bath without anyone bothering me.
- Or at least I THINK I'm alone. Today I had a fresh towel next to the tub, and when I open my eyes it was gone. So either somebody's messing with me or Johnny Chedder is at it again.
- Everything probably would've been just fine, but at lunch someone threw a roll of toilet paper at somebody else, and withing about fifteen seconds it was a total madhouse.
- I couldn't find any cologne in Rodrick's junk drawer, but I DID find a bottle of that body spray they're always advertising on TV. I was a little nervous about using it, though, because if that stuff really works like they say in the ads then tomorrow night could be a nightmare.
