"Saturday, March 24, 1984. Shermer High School, Shermer, Illinois, 60062.
'Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. And what we did was wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us.'"
Hey, you found Michelle DiPoala's corner of the web.
I've been maintaining an online diary since 2000. What you see now is a combination of my online diary and my erstwhile music 'zine. I used to write under a pen name, Lexi Kahn. While it was fun being Lexi Kahn for nearly 12 years, I've come out from behind the pen name.
You'll probably like Diary of a Low Budget Superhero if you're a Gen X'er like me. Our generation got such a non-name because of our place in the history of this crazy world and our forebears' inability to easily define us. There are 75 million of us. We're everything and we're nothing. We're a study in extremes. We're humble and cocky, unsung and glorified, starry-eyed non-romantics. We're TV-bred, tuned-out charitable and self-centered. We're zealous and we're apathetic. We're low budget superheroes. In this section you'll find those potty-mouthed rants and raves that are my Diary entries. These are all new starting in 2009, so hit the old Diaryland archive for entries back to 2000.
In the other sections you'll find some old Low Budget Superhero music reviews, plus my opinions about books, movies, TV shows, ads and, beginning in July 2009, my weight loss chronicle.
Like me, my web presence is a work in progress. Comment all you want!
