"Diary of a Mad Usuki Collector" by dr_tomoe
My anger management coach said that I was making great strides. As a gift, he gave me this diary to contain my thoughts and to mention things that might get me angry, so I can try to manage it better. Yeah, it's easy for him to say. He doesn't have to keep cleaning up messes in a big statue hall every day! He doesn't realize how dirty those floors get with tourists coming in day in and day out to visit the Hall of Heroes! Always coming in with their muddy shoes! GAH!
