Do you love Spongebob Squarepants? Not as much as Jack Rowe does.

The 18-year-old from County Mayo, Ireland, recently unearthed his childhood "Spongebob diary" — a volume full of exuberant love letters to the great yellow sponge himself.

"Dear Spongebob, I am your biggest fan even bigger than everyone else," one entry reads. "I love you Spongebob."

Rowe also mentions mysterious figures named "Alan" and "Fiona" — mere bandwagon fans who do not love Spongebob as much as he does.

Some entries are even more passionate.

"I wish I was yellow just like you and have holes in my body just like you," the journal says. "I may seem like a copycat but I am not."

Are you really prepared to live in an undersea pineapple, Jack? Have you checked to make sure you can rent the scuba equipment?

But the journal isn't all self-promotion. Rowe also asked some tough questions: for example, why is Squidward ("squid") so upset all the time?

"I would like to see him nice to you and Pat," wrote Rowe, "but I think that will never happen in life of him."

We are inclined to agree.

Rowe tweeted a few shots of the diary on Tuesday — and despite his apparent horror, the Internet has been very supportive.

See? A strong imagination is nothing to be embarrassed about.
