DECEMBER
Monday
I always thought I wanted to be rich and
famous, but now I m starting to wonder if fame
and fortune are worth all the hassle.
I m sure it would be great to be a celebrity,
because it d be nice to get the rock star treatment
and see your name in lights.
But there s only so much attention one person
can take, and I bet that kind of thing would
get kind of old after a while.
2
If you re famous, you can t just turn it off
whenever it s inconvenient. And it wouldn t be much
fun getting mobbed for autographs and selfies all
the time.
When you re a celebrity, you can t even take care of
your personal business without everyone finding out
and posting about it on social media.
3
And when you re out in public, someone s bound
to snap a picture of you when you re not looking
your best.
On top of that, everyone feels like they have the
right to know all the details about your personal
relationships, which can t be a lot of fun, either.
4
Speaking of relationships, when you re a celebrity,
you never know who you can TRUST . Because even
the people closest to you will be happy to air your
dirty laundry if the price is right.
The celebrities who have it the WORST are
former child stars, because after they grow up and
fall out of the spotlight, they have to learn how
to live like regular people.
5
And I m sure it s no fun being someone who USED
to be famous.
People recognize former child stars even after
they ve become adults. And I d like to be able
to enjoy a meal with my family in public without
getting hassled by fans later on.
6
Don t get me wrong, it would be nice to have
mansions and expensive cars and all the other stuff
that comes with being famous. I just wouldn t
want to deal with the downside of fame.
That s why it would be awesome to be FRIENDS with
someone who s famous. Then you d get all the perks
of being a celebrity without any of the negatives.
Famous people are always traveling the world and
going on fancy vacations. And I could definitely
see myself getting used to that kind of lifestyle,
especially if I wasn t the one paying.
7
Plus, if you re friends with someone who has more
money than you, you can always count on them to
pick up the tab.
And if you and your famous friend ever have a
falling-out, it wouldn t be the end of the world.
Because people will pay good money for juicy
celebrity gossip.
8
The only problem with my plan is that I don t
have any friends who are on track to become
famous. And even though I ve tried to encourage
my friend Rowley to start making a name for
himself, he just doesn t seem all that interested.
So I ve decided that what would be even better
than being friends with a celebrity is being
RELATED to one. Because you know your
Christmas presents are gonna be WAY nicer if
you ve got a rich person in the family.
My older brother, Rodrick, actually has big plans
to become a famous musician.
9
But I just don t know how realistic it is to be
successful when your band s name is L ded Diper.
Aside from their name, L ded Diper has a few
obstacles standing in their way. The first one
is that they still practice in our basement, even
though my parents probably wish they DIDN T .
10
On top of that, L ded Diper hasn t played an actual
show in more than a year. And the only member of
the band who s not in high school is the lead singer,
Bill. But he s thirty-five years old and lives in his
gramma s basement.
Even with all that, Rodrick still thinks L ded
Diper can make it to the big time. And he s come
up with a plan for how they can do it.
There s a competition called the Battle of the
Bands that s held every year, and Rodrick thinks
if L ded Diper works hard to get ready, they can
actually WIN it.
11
Rodrick s favorite band, Metallichihuahua, won the
Battle of the Bands when they were just starting
out.
I m not a big fan of that kind of music, and the
only reason I ve even heard of Metallichihuahua is
because Rodrick s bedroom is plastered with their
posters.
12
Rodrick says the Battle of the Bands competition
launched Metallichihuahua s career, and afterward
they were on the cover of every magazine.
13
Metallichihuahua broke up before Rodrick got a
chance to see them play, so everything he knows
about them is from magazine articles and old
concert footage. But when Bill was ten years old,
his gramma took him to see Metallichihuahua on
their last tour. And he s always bragging about it
to Rodrick.
In fact, sometimes Bill still wears the T-shirt he
got from that concert, even though he probably
SHOULDN T .
14
I have no idea if it s realistic for L ded Diper to
win this competition or not.
But if Rodrick s band actually goes on to fame and
fortune, I M gonna be the one to tell their story.
Because if I have to suffer through L ded Diper s
band practices, I figure I might as well get
something out of it.
15
Wednesday
Rodrick told his bandmates that one of the reasons
Metallichihuahua got people to take them seriously
early on was because whenever they were out in
public, they looked like they were already famous.
He said the first step in making people think you re
a rock star is to DRESS like one.
So the other night the guys went to the mall to buy
some cool outfits. But they found out that trendy
clothes are really expensive, and that ripped jeans
cost twice as much as brand-new ones. So they left
without buying anything.
16
They came back to our house and ripped their
OWN jeans. But when Mom found them piled up in
Rodrick s room, she put patches on the holes. And
I m pretty sure she IRONED them, too.
After that, the guys went to the Goodwill store,
where you can get used clothes pretty cheap. And
Bill put together an outfit that he thought made
him look like the lead singer of a rock band.
17
But it turned out that half the clothes Bill bought
had been donated to the store by his gramma, so
she made him turn right around and return them.
Then Mackie had an idea. He said they could
just buy rock star COSTUMES , because the
Halloween outlet near us was having an after-
season clearance sale. And everybody agreed that
seemed like a smart plan.
18
But the costumes didn t look anything like they did
on the packaging. They were more like plastic aprons
than cool outfits, and the guitars were miniature
inflatables.
If the guys ever go out in public wearing those
plastic aprons, I really hope Bill wears some pants
underneath. Because those costumes only cover the
FRONT .
19
Thursday
Rodrick says that every serious band gets
professional photos taken so they can use them
on posters and album covers. But it turns out
professional photographers are EXPENSIVE , so
Rodrick s been looking into other options.
The option he settled on was asking Mom to take
the pictures, because she offered to do it for
free. So they spent the afternoon doing a photo
shoot in our backyard.
But it was hard to get a shot where there wasn t
a fence or a swing set in the background.
20
After a while they ditched their costumes and just
tried using the stuff around them. But they ended
up with a bunch of pictures they re probably not
gonna use.
Mom said the guys looked too serious in all the
pictures, and music was supposed to be FUN .
21
So she got them to lighten up a little. But I
don t think the guy
