I can barely type

Everything has hit the fan. I really don't know where to begin...

Some backdrop to the day's events. I first went to Daisy's house over on East egg. Daisy suggested that we all should go to New York, and her husband agreed with her. So I drove with Daisy in Tom's car and we finally made it into the city. We agreed that we would stay in the plaza hotel. One thing I forgot to mention- the temperature was boiling the mercury in the thermometers. It was blazing.

Everything figuratively started to heat up when the brute Tom decided that he wanted to confront me about Daisy in front of everyone. He decided it would be manly to make fun of the way I say "old sport." He then he goes on about I never attended Oxford (I did, but for 5 months only). What was I supposed to do. I just dispelled his little theory. But then he want's to know what I've been doing with Daisy! I decided I wanted to stand up for myself finally: I said that Daisy loved me and not him.

Of course he was shocked. Who wouldn't? I caught a glimpse of Nick and saw how even how we caught in the middle of this, he said nothing. He had been an observer this whole time. Anyway's, I digress.

So Tom goes on and on about how I was wrong and how Daisy and him had a connection I wouldn't understand, so on and so forth...What really hurt me was in the middle of all this, Daisy said that even though sometimes she doesn't love Tom, it would be foolish to think that she never did. Even worse, Tom sent us both back to East Egg and wasn't even bothered I was taking Daisy! It's like he was emasculating me!

She was driving through the Valley of the Ashes- The place between the Eggs and the city. She didn't notice a woman in the road. She ran over her and kept driving. I was shocked. As I explained to Nick later that day, I would obviously take the fall for Daisy, but I was still nervous for Daisy's welfare. I guess I'll have to find out later.

Also, to anyone concerned about the parties. Due to recent events and some unsavory rumors about me, I have suspended the parties and fired all of my current butlers.
