She could have at least kept it all on disks and CD's and zip disks if she didn't have a home computer.
Or a diary. No one else could possibly open the lock...
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
All I can say about Lana is that I take great glee in the knowledge that Clark eventually loses all interest in her for the immenently cooler Lois Lane.

It's a remora, dimwit.
A diary if she knew how to hide it - glue the cover of your copy of "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret" over it. And then don't leave it at school where anyone could open it up. They established that Chloe knew Lex Luthor bought the school computers and had them installed. She'd been suspicious of him for quite a while, so putting confidential information on them in the first place comes off as Roswell-level stupid.
And the "barbwire accident" - Jonathan would probably have been better off saying that someone had been shooting at their property and hit an animal which bled on Clark's shirt when he bandaged it. That works with getting a call about the place, and fits with Miguel's MO. Though that would have been practical, just like telling Lana that he was just changed by the meteors would have been. That way he doesn't have to worry about her seeing his special abilities, and it'd stop her questions and she'd never think he might be an alien.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But that would have kept the cops at their place, potentially. Their excuse was lame -- if you have a farm, there are tons ot trivial reasons for blood.

Yeah, but Jonathan was best coming up with something that went along with current events - the cop seemed to take his excuse the same way she would if he'd claimed the family was putting on their own production of "Carrie."

Oh, I always side with "your tip came from a lunatic". That way the cops don't hang around investigating or protecting you.
Mostly, you don't put a bloody shirt on the railing. What kind of house does Mama Kent keep?

Martha was busy trying to find the right canister to stick the bullet into, since she'd already used the flour one for the bit of the ship.
What I did like was having Clark just fall down and yelp and cry when he got shot, just like he always has a huge reaction whenever he actually gets hurt. Since he doesn't have years of experience with pain, whenever he experiences it, it just floors him every time.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
What he has had makes up for that lack, I think. An injury that scars one's entire torso up, not to mention getting shoved into a blast furnace while the invulnerability's still flickering back into use certainly outdoes any pain I've ever had to keep a stiff upper lip about.

t minor nitpick
They established that Chloe knew Lex Luthor bought the school computers and had them installed.
It was Lionel that bought and installed the computers for the school.

It was sooo ridiculous that Clark's files were the only ones not on the school computers as well. If Chloe thought the computers were vulnerable, which clearly she did, why keep any of that stuff on there? Also - why aren't they doing anything w/Clark's blood already? They have traded it back and forth, killed people over it and has anybody tested it? Would Lionel really need Chloe's info on Clark if he had the test results saying that Clark was A BIG FAT ALIEN? It's not like Chloe really knows anything concrete anyway. Ahh Smallville. So pretty. So illogical.
Also, Plei - where I can find this Lana the Vampire Slayer once you're done with it? No, I'm not impatient. Not me.

D'oh. It's all these L's mixing me up. Plus, whenever I type Lionel, I have to force myself not to follow it with Ritchie. Though it did let one know early that Helen had no chance with the Luthor's unless she changed her name, or just shortened it to Len.
Clark's definitely going through a ton of stuff now, though it seems most of his non-kryptonite related injuries don't really cause much pain, or if they do, he heals so quickly that it's over in an instant. And he knows nothing of the little every day injuries like paper cuts, coffee burns, toe stubbing, frostbite, etc.
