91. *(in episodes):* "I don't like my birthday. In fact, it's one of very few days that I fear the most. I hate all the extra attention I receive, and the pressure to make a special day out of it is insufferable. I have long and exhaustive fights with my mother in the weeks before my birthday. She always wants me to celebrate it with a huge party that includes over a ton of family members. But to me, a huge party is filled with agonizing torture, not with celebrating. Instead, I want to celebrate my birthday with something smaller, alongside Partridge and my closest friends."
92. *(in episodes):* "Dear diary. Last year, I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving with my mom, my dad, and my little brother Miguellito. Also, a lot of my family members traveled halfway around the world, all the way from Britain and Mexico. They're far away, and even though I never see them, I think they're really cool. We had a wide variety of cultural foods, including fish and chips with some enchiladas. I only had a little bit, but Partridge had too much. I don't really like my heritage, but Partridge doesn't mind. It's instantly one of her favorite things to celebrate. And I feel as if I'm part of something, like I could almost see everyone surrounding me. But a lot can change in a year. Now when I spend time with my family, I don't think of my Spanish and British heritage, or my several other family members. I only think about how mean people can be."
