January

Greg says how he wished of havinga  journal earlier because the person who is going to write his bio will have a lot of questions of his life till middle school,but luckily for Greg he remembers them all and also remembers about things that happened before he was born,he was in a dark place doing blackflips and taking naps then his mother would put parental speakers and turn classical music thinking it would make Greg a genius whenever he is born,she would tell Greg about her day and would make Frank tell him about his day at work too.Greg thens tells how he would hear anything his mom said even if the speakers weren't there and how he would get angry when his parents get affectionate,he would kick everytime his parents kissed,his parents found it intresting and kissed again to hear his kick again.Then Greg wanted to get of there so he got out three-weeks early but he was in a lousy mood and wanted to go back in.Then a few days later after his birth he met his brother,Rodrick,he used to think he is the only child untill he met Rodrick which disappointed him,his family lived in a small apartment so Rodrick had to sleep on the crib while Greg inside the dresser drawer,after his father moved Greg got the crib and Rodrick a bed.Then Greg talks about how everything he had used to be hand-me down from Rodrick in those days.When Susan announced that she is having another baby,Greg went and started telling Manny not to touch his things through the parental speakers.When his brother was born he had a black stub,eventually when Manny's stub dried,nobody had seen it dry so Greg is scared its going to come up sometime soon.Then Greg talks about how his mother would make him watch educational videos and how he would change it to something he liked and removed the battries from the remote and hide them in his crib.Greg complains about how Susan didn't let him crawl around the floor much when he was little because that resulted in him being behind the other kids in his playgroup in physical things.Then Susan brought a baby walker called "Baby Adventures Action Walker",Greg loved it as it had music coming out of it,had little toys sticking on it and also had a cup holder,this made other kids jealous.But Susan read in a parenting magazine that Action walkers are not good for babies as they don't make babies devlop the bones to walk,so she returned it.Greg learned to walk,but by the time he was in pre-school,the kids could use zips and buttons while Greg needed help from a grown-up and they could also do many other things Greg couldn't do,so Greg started feeding them bad information to slow them down,but his teacher thought he isn't learning anything so she called Susan,Susan made Greg skip a grade.In kindergarten,kids could do things like cut with scissors and colour inside lines,Greg got scared and hid under the table,Susan made Greg go back to Pre-school.Greg then talks about a show called The Snurples which Manny likes to watch and has its own langauge and how Manny learned the language and uses it to talk with the others.Greg then talks about how Manny has no friends and how he is scared of other children and how he came up with imaginary friends called Joey,Petey,Danny,Charles Tribble,Tiny Jim and Johnny Cheddar and how he uses them to get out of trouble and get extra dessert and how Susan doesn't tells him that they are fake because she thinks Manny will get traumatized.Greg then talks about a family-style resturant called "Corny's" where the family goes in family time,they have a rule of not wearing tie and they did cut Frank's when he first came there.Greg complains how they always get put in Kids section because they have Manny around and how the the kid section is a madhouse and how the tables and floor are filled with half-eaten food on them and also complains about their service and seatings and ice-cream dispenser.Greg was doing his household chores,just then he heard a knock and found his uncle Gary there,who had bought shirts from a person from Boston to sell them and get money,but they had a typo that said Botson and nobody would buy them,so he had to stay with Frank.Living with Gary has been bad for the Heffley's because his nightmares made Manny keep his bed away from wall,whenever Rodrick got kicked out of bed at morning he would have trouble and have to sleep on the upper part of couch.Then Greg also talks about how Gary's been trying different jobs but is quiting them and how Frank wants him to get a job and Greg also complains about how Gary used up all his bubble bath and uses his money on buying scratch cards.Greg then talks about the ball-room dancing unit and about a girl called Ruby Bird which is the only girl to ever be suspended from his school and has a habit of biting people and how Greg doesn't wants to get paired up with her.It was the partner selection day,Ruby got selected with Fregley while Greg and four other guys didn't got selected and how the teacher made the boys dance with each other.A hyptonist called Amazing Andrew came to the school in a special assembly and made a line of kids think there arms are linked together and they would unlink if he said "Cucumber!" and then he talks about the previous assembly guests like Strong Steve and Kristinna and talks about how a police officer came and told them about narc and how after that Greg and Rowley formed a detective agency.Greg then talks about how Vice-Principal Roy came and announced to everyone that the student council is getting replaced because the previous one weren't attending the meeting,Greg seemed excited but he also made a rule that people with three or more detentions are not allowed,this was bad for Greg as he caught his third detention,but then Greg realized he could get Rowley to become a student council member and how Greg would guide him.Rowley chose to be a Social Chairperson.It was the speech day,Greg took some shirts from his garage and wrote a letter on each one which in all spelled "VOTE ROWLEY JEFFERSON FOR SOCIAL CHAIRPERSON",but he found only presidents were giving speech and Rowley became the social chairperson as he was the only one running for it.A kid called Eugene Ellis made a speech that he would replace all the cheap toilet paper with expensive quilted ones,all kids realized toilet paper problems and elected him.On the first student council meeting,the teacher Mrs Birch told Eugene its to expensive to stack all the toilets with expensive toilet paper and said the kids are allowed to bring their own.Greg talks about how Gary has been trying to take loans from Greg just to buy scratch cards.

February

It was the first day to bring toilet papers,some kids had brought to much and they had to carry it around.The teachers made a rule to have only five papers at a time,Greg had twenty and wanted them to run throughout the year,so he picked a stall in the bathroom and slipped some old shoes and all his toilet paper inside and would only use that spot,but one day he pick up a spare shoe and the kids found he is using quality paper and stole his papers.Then the student councils started making up fundraiser ideas,Eugene assigned the duty to the vice-president,Hillary Pine,she came up with a Valentine's Day dance idea,but Eugene and the treasurer Javan wanted to change it but the teacher told them they had to respect their decision.Everybody started getting excited about the dance,some boys made up that they aren't going to come because they don't want to waste money for a dance,but it all changed after the first Candy Gram wave was delivered,they became jealous and rushed to the stall in the recess.And then Greg talks how the boys are trying to be in their best behaviour when the girls aren't around.Then he talks about how the pantsing incidents started when a kid called Anthony Renfrew pantsed Daniel Revis when Daniel was shooting free throws in the basketball unit in phys ed.After that all kids got scared that they are going to get pantsed so they didn't even walk and started scooting on the floor,Mr Roy got angry and gave boys a lecture that whoever pantse someone will get suspended,but right then the pantser pantsed Mr Roy and ran away,the kids started calling him the "Mad Pantser".Then Greg tells about almost all the boys in his homeroom are getting Candy Grams and he is nervous he might not get one,so he asked Gary for advice,Gary told him to buy many grams and send them to himself to make sure the girls think he is a hot propety.Greg used his two dollars lunch money to buy the grams and send them all to himself.Since the last few days Greg used up five dollars,he thought of writing a candy gram to a actual girl,he wrote one to Adrianne Simpson,he even wrote a small note saying "If the answer is no pass it to Julia Barros" to make it sure he doesn't waste his quarter on only one girl.But they both rejected him,Greg thought of writing a note and push it into Leighann Marlow's seat,but somebody in the after-school detention scribbled on it,but Leighann did read it but she also rejected Greg.Greg then talks about how he is nervous and he even made up a realtionship chart to see who is dating who,Greg's worried about Evan Whitehead,a boy who bragged that he has kissed many girls in Greg's grade.Greg thought of getting Peyton Ellis but she ignored Greg when Greg came near her when she was drinking from the water fountain,then Greg thinks of getting Bethany Breen,his lab partner,but Greg thought the frogs thing will stay in his mind so he skipped her.Gary told Greg to get a wingman,Greg made Rowley his wingman,but however Rowley was telling fibs about Greg to the girls.Greg went to his room and thought of calling Alyssa Grove who broke up with her boyfriend,but she wasn't home so he started recording messages,but Rowley was in his room and making funny faces,causing Greg to laugh and ruin his messages,they soon started goofing with the phone and recorded twenty messages.Alyssa's father came and complained.

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 rig
  • "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.
