My belly button got infected. My mom told me to take it out. I said no. She forced me to take it out. I complained and followed through.

AS much as I hate to admit it, that was probably the smartest thing I could have done. It began draining puss yesterday. Green puss at that. I don't know if any of you know about infections, but green means it's very serious.

Stacy spent the night last night. Kendall was supposed to too, but her dad said no at the last moment. We watched Titanic for lack of anything else to watch. Very sad. I can't believe how close I was to crying. It was awkward though, when Rose was lying on the couch naked. Here were two 15 year girls watching a naked woman get her portrait painted. Very odd.
