Another fight with Aurora this morning before school. Boils down to this: My whole entire life I’ve never done anything or helped anybody. And it’s true. Do you know how lame that is?

Movies and comics and games are all about the same thing: people who DO stuff. Which is tricky, because when you watch shows or play vids, it can make you feel like you’re doing stuff, even when you’re not.

I’ve been reading more about Juvenal, the Roman poet who Alan Moore thinks is so great, and he said something else smart. He said that people are only interested in bread and circuses, which means they don’t care about anything as long as they’re being entertained.

Not me. I want something more.
