EXTRACT FOR
Maggie's Diary
(Giselle Renarde)

Staying at home for university wasn't my first choice.  It was actually kind of my last choice, right up there with not going to university at all.  I wish I had enough money to pay the dorm expenses.  Or I wish my parents did.  Living with other people my age would be amazing.  Living with my parents... not so much.



My parents aren't ogres or anything.  They're fine, I guess.  It's not like we fight much.  We squabble a bit, about little things.  I'm just ready to get out from under their wings.  I am an adult, after all.  I don't need my mother tidying my bedroom when I'm not home.  Sometimes she finds things she probably wishes she hadn't.



One time when my mom was doing my laundry, she came across a sticky note someone had stuck on my back??"at school, I'm assuming.  I was still in high school, at this point.  



The sticky note said LESBIAN in big letters.
