Pages from Arthur's journal:

I met a girl in the elevater today.  Her name is Carlie.  She has long brown hair and blueish-gray eyes.  She's really really pretty.  And nice.  She didn't ignor me like everybody else.  I asked her if she wanted to do sumthing togethur when she's not busy.  She said yes!  She wants to see me again!  I really like her.  I hope she likes me, too.

Went out to my favorit diner with Carlie.  She said she also likes comedy clubs like me.  She wants to be a writer, she studees writing at skool.  I told her about my job at Ha-Ha's and my dream to be a comedian.  She didn't laugh or make fun of me.  She wants to hear my jokes sumtime.  I walked her back to her door and then she kissed me on the cheek.  I don't know why, but she did.  And it was the best feeling in the hole world.  I think I'm falling in love with her...

Carlie found out about my condition today.  At the farmacy.  It was terribul and embarrussing, like it alwaze is.  But she found me on the bus and sat next to me and comfurted me when it started happuning again.  It didn't make her run away from me like it does with everyone else.  She is the nicest person I've ever met.  She held my hand during the ride home and I didn't want her to ever let go.  She makes me feel not alone anymore.  I feel so happy when I'm with her.

I did sumthing I shouldent have on the subway last nite.  But I felt so powerfull.  It made me feel free.  Finally free.  Then I wanted to go see Carlie and not hide my feelings for her anymore.  So I nocked on her door really late and when she opened it, I kissed her.  Her lips were so soft and gentel against mine.  She kissed me back.  She feels the same way about me!  I slept next to her that nite.  I hoped I wasn't dreaming all of this.  When I woke up, I saw her beautiful smile.  It was real.

Carlie saw the end of my act at Pogo's.  I told her how great it went and then we went out to sellabrate.  I intraduced her to my mother.  Mom really seems to like her, I think.  Carlie looked so beautiful in her red dress that I felt like dancing with her.  She didn't want to at first but I cunvinsed her to.  We danced and laughed in my living room.  I think she's an angel.  I never want her to leave me.  I love her.  I want to tell her I love her soon. She's the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with.
