Less Than 24 Hours

Hey!  It's 12:48 in the morning (but yet it's night) and I am just about to go to bed.  In less than 24 hours, it will be 2000!  Can you believe it?!  In one day, I will be writing "00" at the end of the date.  This is so exciting!

Only 5 days until 2000!

Everything I Got

Merry Christmas!  It's Christmas right now.  I had a good Christmas.  I'll tell you everything I got.

I got:

A Magnetic Poetry calendar

black Mudd jeans

blue CK jeans

a CK shirt and vest

2 shirts (a red one and a yellow one) from Alloy

Hawaiian Ginger body spray and In The Rain body spray

a Watercolors Starter Kit

nail polish

a make-up purse

a watch

and I still have to open the stuff from Dad

We made gingerbread houses today, and it was really fun!

Feels Like Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve!  I'm at Cadence and Jasmine's house.  Actually, it is Christmas, because it's 12:17, but it's nighttime so it feels like Christmas Eve.  I'm excited to see what I got for Christmas!  My presents from Dad didn't come in the mail yet.  Goodnight.  Merry Christmas!

Like, F-

Today, Allie used her $25 gift certificate for the school store to get Jessalyn 38 balloons for her birthday!!  It was so funny!  We sucked the helium out of one of them.  I'm writing a really good story right now, but it doesn't have a title, yet.  Today in 1st hour we made xmas cards.  In 2nd hour we took a test.  In 3rd hour we took a quiz and worked on our skits.  In 4th hour we took a test (and I FAILED it majorly, like, F-).  In 5th hour we took a test, I probably got a C.  

Tomorrow, this is what I'm doing:

1st - Caroling

2nd - Doughnuts

3rd - Skits

4th - Movie

5th - probably work

6th - probably Step Aerobics

So, it will be a pretty good day.  C-ya!

Obvious Reasons

Guess what?  There was no school today!  Snow day!  I don't want snow days because I hate making them up, but I love them, for the obvious reasons.  I just finished typing out a 15 page story, and I'm starting on another one.

P.S. 4 days till x-mas!  11 days till 2000!

Sucked In The Helium

Today I went Christmas shopping with Allie.  I got Mom a little quote-a-day Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul thing.  I got Alaina some Gel Pens.  I got a new pair of jeans.  I got Jessalyn some b-day presents - some hair sparkly clip things, some really cool milky gel pens, some black stationary, and a pickle card.  I also got Allie 2 lip glosses for her bday.  I got some Express Finish Makeup and lip gloss for myself.  

When we were in JC Penny's, there were lots of balloons, so we took one and went into a changing room and sucked in the helium and said stuff.  It was so funny!!  Then we saw Audra, Chloe, Claire and Jen, and Tina, so Audra took a picture of all of us.  I forgot all my books in my locker at school so I couldn't do any h.w.!

Couldn't

There was a dance yesterday but I couldn't go.  I really wanted to go.  Allie said it was really fun.  We were supposed to have a party for Jessalyn today but she couldn't make it because she has to stay home with her Mom cause she's sick.  I don't know what I'm gonna do tomorrow.

Starving

I talked to Allie a lot today, about her starving herself, and it worked, because she ate lunch today!  I'm happy!

Very Serious

I passed the test!  I'm happy.  I'm really scared about Allie.  I think she's becoming anorexic.  That's very serious.  It's really late, so I'll tell ya more tomorrow.

Today Is Tuesday

I got $20 for babysitting.  Today is Tuesday.  I had Drivers Training yesterday, today, and I have it tomorrow.  I better pass it!!  On Sunday, I went Christmas shopping, but I'm not done.  We're having a b-day party for Jessalyn on Saturday.

homework Homeward Bound

I'm babysitting right now.  We're watching "The Incredible Journey", it's just like homework Homeward Bound.  I wrote homework there, ha! ha!  I'm dumb.  I am bored.  It's about 9:00.  About 2 more hours to go.  I don't know what time she's getting back.

Allie has Baby Think It Over this weekend.  Poor Allie!  She made pop in Biology and when she added flavoring she added mint, orange, cherry, and vanilla, and it tastes so bad!  I almost barfed when I tasted it! It tasted like a blend of grapefruit juice and wintergreen candycanes.  YUCK!  Tomorrow, I might go do something with Jess and Alaina.

A Lot of Money

When I asked Mr. Ball how much the Geometry books cost, he said probably $80, cause they're new, but he'd have to check.  $80!  That's a lot of money!  

Nothing really happened today.  Even if stuff did happen, I don't feel like writing.

Life Is In A Hole

God!  Today, at school, it was an okay day.  But ever since school got out, it's been a bad day.  My life is in a hole right now and it sucks.

Me, Jessalyn, Allie and Claire are all going to get each other presents.  Jessalyn's birthday is December 27th, so I have to get her a bday present.  I have to buy cards to give to everyone at school.  

My pop spilled inside my backpack, totally soaking and ruining my Geometry book (darn) and I'll have to buy a new one.  It might cost up to $50.  Mom just yelled at Brennan and then yelled at me and said I said something I never said in a way I never said it and so I yelled at her and told her it's just her.  Now she's sitting in the computer room and she's crying and I don't know if it's my fault or not but I don't care because I'm mad right now.  Also, to top it all off, I don't know how to do a single problem of my Geometry homework.  Ahh!

Assload of Homework

Guess what I got on my Bio test?  An A-!  Only 4 wrong out of 50!  I had lots of homework today!  It's really late.  I'm such a procrastinator!  I didn't even start my assload of homework till 8:30.

Trapezoids and Crap

The Bio test was pretty easy.  I think I got an A-.  In Geometry, we're doing really hard stuff, like finding the area of trapezoids and crap like that.  It's so hard!  I'm gonna get in trouble, because we had a ton of homework and I didn't do it.  I'm getting a C in French, A- in English, B+ in Biology.  I am so stupid!  Today, we were at Jessalyn's locker and when we were going toward the stairs, I said "I have to drop off my bag at my class, come on." and I started walking down the other hall.  Then Jessalyn said "Isn't your First hour in East Wing??" and I said "Yeah" and kept walking until I figured it out that we were in North Wing.  We were laughing so hard.  Well, I'm going to bed!  Nighty-night!

Baby Think It Over

Today I just basically hung out at home.  It wasn't that boring, I kept busy.  Next Friday, Allie has the Baby Think It Over.  That's gonna be so funny!  

My rough draft for my book report in English is due tomorrow.  Also, my fern lab is due in Biology tomorrow.  We have a test on Tuesday.  Geez-a-reez!  We just had one last Tuesday.

The Perfect Moment

Well, I called Allie and she can't spend the night because she's grounded because she has a D+ in English.  Great, there goes my plans, once again.  Why is this always happening to me!?  Geez-a-reez!  

I put up the Christmas Tree and the decorations too.  Then I made muffins and pudding.  And I was so bored, I even did my chores.  I love Christmas time!  I love it so much.  Whenever it's Christmas time, when it's dark out, I sit near the Christmas tree, on the floor, with all the lights off but have the Christmas lights on, and Christmas music on, and I just sit and do something like write or draw.  That's what I'm doing right now.  I love it.  This is like the perfect moment, right now.  I'm laying on a little blanket on the floor next to the tree.  Sasha is laying right next to me.  Christmas music is playing.  The rest of the house is dark and silent.  There's some presents under the tree.  The glow of the Christmas lights is gently lighting up the room.  It's perfect.

Two Week Boyfriend

Dear Future,

Well, me and Joey broke up a few days ago.  We weren't anything alike.  He broke up with me, but it's okay.  It's better that way, because I was so happy to have a boyfriend that I was ignoring the fact that he wasn't a good boyfriend, at all.  Well, now I don't like any guys.  Usually I always like someone, but right now I don't like anyone.  None of the guys in my school are hot.  Some are, but they're either not my type, going out with skanks, or are simply out of the question (like the seniors that I don't really know and they don't know me).  There's less than one month until the new millenium!  Wow!  But now for you, it's old news.

Love from 1999

What Might Happen

I don't know what I got on the Geometry test, but I think I did pretty good.  I have a B+ in Biology.  I'm #4 in the class.  We did the Step Aerobics video in gym today, and this time I stayed in my heart rate zone for 24 minutes out of 35.  That's really good.  

Allie might spend the night tomorrow.  I'm not sure.  I'm never sure about my plans anymore, and I'm never trusting anyone when they say "we're" going to do something, because it ends up getting cancelled.  So, Allie might spend the night tomorrow, and I might go into town to do something with her tomorrow.  We'll all see, what might happen tomorrow.

Deep Pool With About 50 Other Kids

Today was boring.  We went swimming in Gym and there's this fitness testing stuff that we had to do.  One of the things was a 5 minute swim.  We had to swim around and around the pool without touching the bottom or holding the wall for 5 minutes (which is actually a long time when you're swimming around and around and around in a deep pool with about 50 other kids)!  But they said you could get out if you got too tired, so a lot of people got out before the 5 minutes was up.  I thought I would too, but I did it!  I swam the whole 5 minutes!  I was proud of myself!  Now we are going to be going in the pool every Tuesday and Thursday.  Well, I guess I don't really have anything else to say!  Goodnight!

P.S. Wish me luck on the Geometry test tomorrow!

Boring and Lame

I got a B+ on the Bio test.  That's good!  I didn't even study!  Today wasn't really a good day.  It was boring and lame and nothing good happened.  So now my record for the most good days in a row is 2.  Or, 1.5.  I'm gonna try to make tomorrow a good day!  We'll see!

How LAME!

Joey broke up with me today!  :'(  I don't even know why!  He didn't even tell me face to face.  He wrote me a note and gave it to Tina to give to me.  How LAME!  We went out for a week and 2 days.  That's how long Cammie went out with him, too!  How weird!  It'll be interesting to see who he goes out with next, and see if we see a pattern.

Well, besides for that, I had a good day today.  If that wouldn't have happened, I would have been in a good mood all day, instead of some of the day.  So I guess I could count it as a good day.

Today after school, me and Allie saw some balloons sticking out of someones locker, so we took one, and on the walk home, we sucked in some helium (just a little!) and it really made our voices change!  It was so funny!  We were laughing so hard!  Another good thing, I took a Biology test today and I think I did good!

Set A Record

I had such a good day today!  I don't know why!  I was in the greatest mood all day!  All I did was laugh!  It was so great, it made up for the crappy weekend!  I'm gonna try to have a good day tomorrow too.  Maybe I'll try to set a record!

**Editors Note:  Record for the greatest number of consecutive good-mood days?  Good one.**

If I Had A Car

Boy, what a shitty day.  I sat at Grandma's house all day, again.  Joey's Dad wouldn't let him go to the movies today!  That sucks so bad!  Me and Joey had an entire 4 day weekend to do something together but we never could!  If I had a car, I would've driven over to his house, but no, I sat at Grandma's.  Such fun.

It's NBD

I couldn't go to the movies with Joey today, but we're going tomorrow.  We're probably going to the 2:00 show.  We're gonna see The Bone Collector.  It's rated R, so we'll just say we're going to see another movie, but go into that one.  It's no big deal.  I <3 Joey!

What A Waste

Happy Thanksgiving!  I had a good Thanksgiving dinner.  We rented The Blair Witch Project and I just got done watching it.  It was so stupid.  What a waste!  Movies with Joey tomorrow!  I don't know what we'll see, but it doesn't really matter.  I can't wait to see him, I miss him already!

I Have No Clue

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!  Yum!  On Friday, me and Joey, and James & Sara (Joey's friends) are going to the movies.  On Saturday, Allie is spending the night.  And Sunday...I have no clue.  Maybe I'll do something else with Joey.  We'll see.

Cutest Little Thing

Joey is the cutest little thing I've ever seen!  He's so sweet, well to me anyways.  His b-day is in exactly 7 months.  He'll turn 15 when I turn 16.  He's trying to help me find a boyfriend for Allie.  He said that Eric Dole (Audrey's ex!) might go out with her.  Gotta go.

I Really Want

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait to get to school tomorrow!  The only reason is because I want to see Joey!  I want to see my friends too, but I really want to see Joey.  Maybe we could go to the movies on Friday.  There's no school Friday because Thursday is Thanksgiving.

Regular Kiss

I just got back from Activity Night.  Guess what?  Today, after school, Joey Price asked me out!  I said "yes", of course!  Activity Night was pretty boring, but I had fun with Joey.  We were watching Jessalyn and Allie karaoke to a song, and he had his arm around me and my head was on his shoulder.  When some other people were up there, I fell asleep!  But I woke up within 5 minutes.  

We didn't dance much, but we were sitting in the lunchroom (where the DJ was) with Jessalyn & Randy (they're going out!), Claire and Ethan, and Allie.  The DJ said the last 2 songs were gonna be slow songs, so we decided to get up and dance to them.  We were dancing for a while, when he turned his head to look at me, and I noticed so I looked at him.  I looked into his cute little eyes and he kissed me.  Just a regular kiss, not a french kiss.  That happened 3 more times, and I was so happy.  

When the night was over we were all going to get our coats and stuff.  We were waiting in line, and we (me and Joey) were the last ones in the group to get our stuff.  Everyone else was waiting for us.  Joey had to hurry, so he said goodbye to everyone, then he turned toward me and he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.  It was still a normal kiss, but it was long this time.  It was so cool, I am so lucky!  I can't believe it, I am the only one in my "group" to get kissed tonight, not to mention 5 times.  It's been a long day, I'm going to bed.

**Editors Note: Please note...first period, first boyfriend, first kiss...all in one week.  They grow up so fast!!!**

Fun to Smoke

There was a test today in Bio.  I think I did kinda bad.  I'm getting a "C" in that class!  Not to good.  This Friday is the Activity Night!  It's gonna be so fun!  Me and Jessalyn are gonna karaoke to "Another One Bites The Dust" for old times sake.  Did you know that if you play "Another One Bites The Dust' backwards it says "it's fun to smoke marijuana.'!  I learned that on TV today.  Well, it's very late and I'm very tired!

Traumatic Things

Dear Future,

Today is Monday, no school today!  I had my period on Friday, finally!  On Tuesday, there was a bad car accident and a guy that goes to my school died.  He's a senior.  Also, on Wednesday, a teacher died.  He was playing basketball and he had a heart attack.  He was my favorite teacher.  It's so sad.  He always used to call me "Spunky" whenever he saw me in the hall.  I'm gonna miss that.

Finally Normal

It's Sunday.  There's no school tomorrow.  Good!  I need the extra day off.  I had my period on Friday.  Finally!  I'm finally normal!  I thought it would never happen!  Well, I'm gonna go to bed now.  Goodnight.

Help! What can I do???

Dear Future,

I've decided to write to you again, despite my regular journals.  Even though it's not quite 2000 yet, I read the other letter I wrote to the year 2000 when I was in 8th grade.  I didn't write too much.  I should update a little since that letter.  I'm taller, but not tall.  I'm 5'4.  That's pretty good.  I weigh 94 pounds.  My body fat percentage is 17%.  That's one percent under normal for my age.  I still haven't had my first kiss.  No boyfriends, just friends.  In 5 years, it will be 2004, in 5 years, I will be 20!  Wow!  I can't imagine being that old!  So, now, time to talk to you.  How does it feel to be outta High School?  How was graduation?  Am I going to Villanova?  I hope so!  Dad said it's a good college.  If not, what college amd I in?  What am I studying to be?  I don't know what I want to be yet.  I still kind of want to be a writer, but I don't think I can write good stories or poems.  I want to be a fashion designer, but I never have enough good ideas.  I want to be a choreographer but I'm bad at remembering what I did after I made it up.  I want to be a cartoonist or some kind of drawer, but I never have any idea of what to draw.  I want to be a doctor or lawyer but that's only cause they make a lot of money.  Help!  What can I do???  Well, I'll write later.  Goodnight, future!

<3 Me in 1999

Something Really Awful

:'(

Something really awful happened last night.  Mr Dawson was playing basketball, and he had a heart attack...and he died.  All day today nobody really did any work or even go to class.  I'm so shocked.  I'm so sad.  Mr Dawson was so awesome.  He was so funny.  He loved my drawings, and he always called me "Spunky" when he saw me in the hall.  Even though he's not my teacher this year, I go into his classroom in the mornings sometimes, just so me and Jessalyn and Allie can say "hi" and draw on his chalkboard.  Now we won't be able to do that anymore :'(.  I'm so sad, this is horrible.  I have a Bio test tomorrow.  Some teachers are so insensitive.  Goodnight.

- Spunky

**Editors Note:  Ugh this still makes me really sad when I read it!!  Not only was he a teacher, but one of his kids was in my grade, so we had to imagine how he felt losing his Dad.  So sad!!!**

Yuck!

Guess what?  Josh is going out with Kristen Donnely!  Yuck!  Why?!  I have a bad cold right now, it's horrible.  Goodnight.

Cam-Corder

I didn't do anything today.  I just found out that we have the cam-corder!  And, Mom said I can use it!  Now when my friends come over and stuff, we can tape stuff.  Fun!!!  I tried it out a little tonight and it's fun!

Silver Pants

In Smithfield I got:

A winter coat - Old Navy

Performance Fleece - Old Navy

Long sleeve shirt - Old Navy

PJ's - Rave

Grey skirt - Rave

Silver pants - Rave

White long sleeve - Gap

Blue Glitter Undies - Deb

Punk-o-Rama 3 CD - Camelot

It's been a long day!  Goodnight!

**Editors Note:  Yes, I said silver pants.  Trend setter = me!  Also, I still love that CD.**

Totally Forgot About You

I got a B- on my History test, I was right.  Jessalyn and Claire promised to call me tonight and let me know if they could go to Smithfield Mall or not, and it's 9:47, and they never called...how rude.  I hate life.  All my friends aren't very good friends, obviously.  

I don't think I wrote this in here, but at Homecoming, Chloe, Audra, Jessalyn, Claire, Allison, Sara and Ashley all got the group picture taken without me and Allie.  I couldn't believe it.  And when they came back they said "Oh, I knew someone was missing!  I totally forgot about you two."  LIKE THAT MAKES US FEEL ANY BETTER!

On the brighter side of things, Josh kicked my butt today.  Ha!  That sounds funny, but it's true.  I was walking up the West ramp with Allie and somebody touched my butt!  So I turned around to see Josh with a =) on his face.  Well gotta go to bed.  I have a big day of shopping ahead!  (without any friends)

Hottest Guy

Allie can't come to the Mall with me because she is going with her family.  They just went 2 weeks ago!  That's the only thing that bugs me about her.  

Guess what.  When me and Allie were at my locker during lunch, I was getting something in the back of my locker and someone pulled the door open more.  I thought it was Audra because she always likes to look at the stuff on the door.  I looked over and it was Josh.  He scared me cause I expected to see Audra standing there, but instead it was Josh.  He was talking to us for a while and he noticed the school picture packet in my locker and he asked for a picture!  Josh Price wants a picture of me.  Woah, he's like, the hottest guy in school!  And Joey Price asked Allie for her picture.  Cool huh?!

The movie "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" is so good.  It reminds me of me and Allie.  I had three tests today!  Geez!   One in French.  One in Geometry and one in History.  I think I got about a B+ on the French test, a B on the Geometry test and a B- on the History test.  They got harder.  I'll tell ya the real grades when I get 'em.  C-ya later!

Bathroom Break

We're going to the Mall to go shopping this Saturday!  Yes!  At lunch while me & Allie were at her locker, Josh "snuck" (bathroom break) out of his class and came and talked to us for a few minutes.  He's so HOT!  I wish he liked me.  I doubt he does.  That's my luck.  Well, I'm really tired, goodnight!

A Lot of Candy

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  Me and Allie went trick-or-treating.  We got a lot of candy, but not as much as usual.  We saw a lot of people we know while we were trick-or-treating.  Not passing out candy, but they were trick-or-treating too.  We saw Ian Goodman and he said hi to us.  Goodnight!

Make Me Jealous

Cammie is getting really annoying, because all she talks about is JOEY!   I can't take it!  And she always talks about all these other guys that like her.  Is she just trying to make me jealous, cause if she is, it's working!  I gotta go to bed.

And Now I'm Tired

Jess is back today!!!  Yay!  I just went and saw her, and now I'm tired so goodnight.  I'll write another day when I have more time.

Going Out With

Today in Gym, Cammie said that she is going out with Joey Price!!  Oh no!  Allie really likes him.  At least she's not going out with Josh.  Cammie told me that Allison P. is going out with Kyle!  WHAT is going on!  

Today I got out of 4th hour 5 minutes early and I got to see Josh!  I went to Allie's locker and Blake was standing there, talking to her, and then so was I , and then Josh came over to talk to us.  He's so HOT! GEEZ!  

After school Allie came to Aunt Lynn's house with me and we just hung out for 2 hours.  It was pretty fun!  All we did was laugh the entire time!  Well, it's late, I better go to bed or I'll never want to wake up in the morning!

Hear A Rumor

Hey!  I hope I don't fill up this diary before the end of the school year!  Maybe I should start writing smaller.  Ha!  Guess what, Alvin gave Allie a flower today!  I knew he liked her!  I heard a rumor that Josh likes Cammie.  I hope it's not true!

Really Good Drawers

This Friday is the end of the first marking period.  On Saturday, me and Mom are going shopping.  Sunday is Halloween.  Grandma and Grandpa Davis are taking us to see the play "Dracula" at noon.  Then at 5:00, me and Allie are going trick-or-treating!  We're too old, but we're going anyway.  Hey!  It's free candy!  We're just gonna wear masks, then nobody will know who we are, in case someone we know is passing out candy.

In Biology we had to draw and label a plant and animal cell.  Mr. Botwin said that he was going to pick 2 of the best from each class to put on the wall.  There are a lot of really good drawers in my class, so I knew I would never get picked.  I didn't want to get picked or anything, I didn't even try.  Today I found out that mine was picked for the wall!  Maybe I can draw kinda good.  Or maybe he picked the crappiest to put on the wall so people would know what not to draw.

I <3 my Blink-182 CD!  It's so awesome!!!!

New Blink 182 CD

Today is Sunday.  I didn't do anything really fun this weekend.  Besides for Friday night.  Alaina spent the night.  Today I went to the Mall and got the new Blink 182 CD.  I really like it!  It's really good!  There's a little order form in the CD case and I want to order a tee-shirt from there.  

Jess is moving back up here!  She's gonna be here on Wednesday!  I can't wait to see her!

Laugh About Things

I love my new Geometry class!  It's so fun!  All I do in that class is laugh!  Me and Allie always laugh about things, or, we are laughing at "Alvin"!  He is so funny!  Well, I gotta go to bed now!

One Great Thing

Allie talked to Josh today and he said that he's gonna skip his 4th hour sometime soon and come hang out with us at lunch!  Cool!  I hope he does!  I wish he had our lunch.  Just about everyone I know has my lunch besides Jessalyn, Claire, Chloe, Alex and Joey & Josh.  Not much happened today, but one great thing did finally happen.  I had no homework!

Boringest Weekend

I didn't do anything this weekend (besides the dance)!  This was one of the boringest weekends ever!  I was so bored on Saturday night that I did my Geometry homework!  And I was so bored after that, so I did my Biology homework!  Wow!  I've NEVER done homework on a Saturday.  The crazy thing about me doing my Bio homework is that it isn't even due on Monday!  I never do homework early!  Well, it's Sunday night.  It's the normal homework doing time, but my homework is done, so I'm gonna go to bed early (it's not that early, it's almost 10:00, but usually I'm hurrying to get it done now!).

Selection of Guys

Hey!  I just got back from the dance!  My legs are so tired!  Gosh!  The "Cotton Eye Joe" song has a really cool dance and I learned it and it's really fun, but it hurts your left leg really bad!  Me and Madison Sonnet invented the "Madison Bump" and we can do it to any song.  But only me & Madison can do the Madison Bump cause we're both "Madison".

This dance was fun sometimes, but it wasn't as fun as the others.  There wasn't very many people there, so there wasn't a very good selection of guys to dance with.  Me and Allie only slow danced with guys one time!  Geez!  Goodnight!

Always Fun

Hey.  Jenny's gonna be here in a few minutes.  I didn't write yesterday cause I was up too late and I had no time to write in here.  Nothing cool happened anyway.  Tonight is the dance!  I love the dances, they're always fun!  Yes!  I can't wait!!!

Some Are Made of Plastic

I saw Kyle walking with a really scummy girl today.  }:P  Now there's no way I can ever go out with him, if he hangs out with scummy people.  I thought he hung out with skaters like Alex.  He does hang out with Alex, but not that much.   

It was so funny in Bio today, Mr. Botwin was talking about these little measuring tubes and he said, 

"Some are made of plastic."

And Rick said, "Fantastic!"

Then Mr. Botwin said, "Some are made of glass."

We all waited for a second while Rick thought and then he said, "Kick ass!".  And it was really funny.  FANTASTIC!

I'm getting a ride from Jenny to school in the morning, so I'll be able to get up later!  Yay!  I usually give myself one hour to get ready.  I wake up at 5:20 and the bus comes at 6:20.  Mom said that Jenny's gonna be here at 7:00, so I can get up at 6:00!  Yay!  Why am I saying "yay"?  That's gay.  Well, anyway, that's 40 more minutes of sleep, and it's much needed!  Well, goodnight!

P.S. Today was my first day in Allie's Geometry class, and I liked it a lot better than my old one.

**Editors Note: I have got to butt in here and apologize for all of the horrible crap that comes out of my past mouth!!!  Ughhhhhhhhh!  I'mma reach back and slap myself for being such a F*$#ing Jerk.  I was young and impressionable.  And I have evolved.  So, that's fantastic!!**

I Hope It's Funner

Starting tomorrow, I'm in Allie's Geometry class.  I hope it's funner.  I hope it's a little easier.  Next Friday, me, Mom, Kathy, Jenny and Allie are going to go shopping.  It will be fun because me and Allie will go away by ourselves and shop for a while, and maybe we'll see some hot guys!  

I hate it how all the guys that I used to like talk to me a lot now but when I liked them, they didn't talk to me hardly at all!  WHY!?  That's so annoying.

Today is Tuesday, Friday is the Fall Dance.   I'm going.  It's casual, but you can still buy couples tickets.  I want to go with Kyle, but he's so shy around me!  I gotta go!

The Worst Thing

The worst thing that could've happened, happened on Saturday.  We went to the skate park and waited and the guys never showed up!  We didn't blame it on them, it was Jessalyn's fault for not calling me or Allie.  She probably called the guys and told them they weren't going on Saturday, so the guys probably thought we weren't going either.

I am getting my class changed, so I'll have 2nd hour Geometry with Allie!  Cool!  I have the hiccups and it's making my stomach hurt really bad!  Help!  Allie usually sees Josh Price after 4th hour while she's at her locker before lunch and she's gonna tell him I like him!

I Told Her To Call Me

Okay, tomorrow, me and Allie are going to the skate park.  Alex and Kyle will be there.  We'll hang out there for a while, while the guys skate.  Then we'll go to the movies, just us 4.  At least I think and hope that's what will happen!  Jessalyn and Claire went to the movies by themselves tonight!  I don't know why. I told her to call me and tell me if she was going Friday with Claire or Saturday with us.  But she never called.  So at 8:00, Allie called her but Jes's bro said she was at the movies with Claire.  Geez!!!!

When Plans Change

Allie asked Kyle today and he said that he's supposed to go downstate on Saturday, but he'll try to get out of it.  Oh, our movie plans changed....again!  Now here's what's going on:

Audrey isn't going because her b/f has to go somewhere on Saturday.  Cammie isn't going because her and Eric are going on Friday.  Jessalyn broke up with Alex so she has nobody to go with (unless she asks someone tomorrow).  Claire doesn't want to go with Ethan cause she's mad at him.  Allie didn't ask Joey yet.  And I don't know if Kyle can go...so...at this point...none of us has a date!  I hate it when plans change like this.  

There's a fall dance next Friday.  We're all going (unless plans change, like they almost always do!).  I hope Kyle can go.  If me and Allie don't get dates to the movies, we're not going.  We'll just save our $ for another weekend when we have a date.  I have to go take a shower now!

I Just Know It

Allie's gonna ask Kyle tomorrow.  She couldn't find him today.  Here's who's going:

Claire & Ethan

Me & Kyle

Audrey & Edward

Cammie & Eric

Allie & ? (maybe Joey Price)

Jessalyn & ? (I think she broke up with Alex!)

I know that by Friday everyone will have someone, I just know it.  And if someone ends up without a date, we'll find one for them or we'll wait until everyone has one.  I hope that Jessalyn didn't break up with her boyfriend and I hope she doesn't.  Then if me and Kyle end up going out, it will be better if Jes & Alex are going out too since Kyle & Alex are friends.  I hope everything works out!  Oh, next Friday is the fall dance.  I'm definitely going.  It's casual, thank god.  I like the casual ones better.  Well, I'm tired, so goodnight!

Not Learning

Claire didn't ask Kyle yet about the movies, so Allie's going to.  I know she will if she says she will.  She said she sees him after 1st and 2nd hour.  I might get my 2nd hour Geometry class changed to hers cause she has a better teacher than I do and I'm not learning from mine.  I gotta go to bed!  Goodnight!

Watch The Guys Skate

We couldn't go to the concert yesterday because it was raining.  Today I'm going to do my book report for English.  It's due on Tuesday.  There's no school tomorrow (Monday).  Me and Allie will probably go to the skate park tomorrow and watch the guys skate.  She might spend the night on Monday night, then go to school with me in the morning.

The Movies Next Weekend

Me and Allie are going to the concert tomorrow.  Jessalyn can't go.  Her boyfriend is going though, so we'll see him there.  Maybe Kyle will be there.  I don't think Claire can go either.  Me and Allie will probably hang out with Jessalyn's boyfriend, cause we're all friends.  I really hope Kyle is gonna be there.  Then I can get to know him better.  Today, Claire said that Kyle really likes me.  She said that she'd talk to him and ask him about the movies next weekend.  I hope he wants to go.  If he doesn't, then I'll ask Bobby.  If Bobby can't go then Allie said I should ask Austin, but I don't know.  I know Kyle will say yes, because he really likes me.

Cute.

Today I rode the bus home, and I sat by Bobby!  We talked a lot, and now I know a lot more about him.  He has 3 brothers.  His Mom died, and he's glad because he hates her.  She used to beat him a lot.  His Dad lives downstate and he gets to go see him every other weekend.  He's going this weekend.

We aren't going to do that movies thing until next weekend.  This weekend we're going to the park to see a couple bands.  One of them is Samuel's band.  Allie asked Jessalyn if Kyle still likes me and she said he really really likes me!  Wow!  He must be shy.  This morning me and Jessalyn went into our old Algebra teacher's classroom and drew on his board.  That class was fun.  

Today in French, I said "yay" or "ya" or something like that, and Austin said it was cute.  Cute.  Does he think I'm cute?  No.   I hope he doesn't like me like that, only as a friend.  I gotta go to BED.

Just Don't Do It

Geometry is getting so hard!  It's just like Algebra all over again!  We had a big assignment today for homework, and I don't understand any of it.  So Mom said just don't do it, and tell him I'll stay after on Friday for help.  We had to write a poem or story for English today for homework.  I didn't do that either.  I was busy working on my French project.  Family Tree's are easy, but not in French!

Due

I have to leave to get on the bus in a couple of minutes.  My family tree for French is due October 1st.  The day after tomorrow.  My English report is due October 5th.  At least I'll have some weekend time for it.  Gotta go!

Assembly Today

I forgot to tell her, so I'll tell her tomorrow.  There was a gay assembly today, so I got to miss 2nd hour.  I wonder if Kyle still likes me?  I don't know if he does or not cause Jessalyn hasn't said anything about him lately, and he's too shy to talk to me (so, maybe he does like me?).

**Editors Note:  I am so ashamed that I used the word "gay" to describe the assembly. I mean come on now.  Grow up already.  Darn ignorant, undereducated teenagers.**

Movies Plan

Tomorrow (Monday) I'm going to tell Jessalyn about the movies plan.  Then she'll tell her boyfriend and he'll tell Kyle.  Well, I have to go to bed now!  Goodnight!

"Hi Madison"

Today I got my grades in all my classes.

French: A

Geometry: B+

English: A+

History: B+

Biology: B+

Personal Fitness: A

That's all good.  Wow, A+ in English!

I didn't see Kyle at all today.  Well, this morning when I was at my locker, Kyle & Alan walked by me and Alan said "Hi Madison".  Kyle is shy around me, I guess it's because he likes me.  Next weekend we're all planning on going to the movies.  I hope everyone can make it!  If not, we'll wait until there's a weekend when everyone can go.  Goodnight!

"Watch The Movie"

It's 6:14am.  I am ready to go, I have nothing else to do, so I'm gonna write until I have to leave.  Last night I had a dream that me and Kyle went to the movies with all of our friends, as a group date.  We were sitting in the back row, along with 4 others, and the other 6 were right in front of us.  We started kissing, and then my accident he bit my tongue!  It hurt really bad, and everyone asked me what was wrong.  My face got all red and I had to say, "Kyle...bit my tongue." Then everyone just kinda laughed and turned back around to "watch the movie".  Well, I gotta go now!  Bye!

Always Looks At Me And Stuff

I'm reconsidering what I said about Kyle yesterday, but now I don't know how I feel.  Today Jessalyn told me that Kyle really likes me a lot.  I don't know what to do, or what to think.  If he asked me out, I'd probably say yes, and if I don't like him then we'll break up.

Yesterday in Biology we took a test.  I thought it was really hard.  I thought that I did really bad on it.  Today we got them back and I got an A-!  That's really good!  Only one person in the class got 100%.

Guess what?  Jess might be moving back!!  I hope she does, I miss her.  Well, I gotta go now!

P.S. Austin talked to me on the bus for a long time today.  He always looks at me and stuff.  I think he likes me, now that I got over him!

I Don't Even Tell Her The Guys I Like!

I don't know if I really want to go out with Kyle anymore.  It's because today in History, Callie told me that Kyle went out with Amber Diamond!  I hate her!  She's scummy!  Well actually, she's pretty nice.  She used to talk to me on the bus all the time (she just moved and now she rides a different bus).  The reason she bugs me is that every guy that I like or even think about, I see her with.  Not going out with, just talking to.  But really!

Last year she always used to sit by Austin and be his partner in French class, when I liked him.  She sat by Bobby on the bus every day when I started liking him (the 2nd day of school).  There is this guy in my History class that I was just looking at one day, I thought he was pretty cute.  Then after school that day, I saw Amber talking to him in the hall.  Now, Kyle likes me and she also used to like him.  I don't even tell her the guys I like!  How does this happen?  Almost all the guys I've ever seen her with are guys that I like(d)!  It's so weird, because we're two totally different people, and we like the same guys (obviously).  If Kyle liked her, he probably won't like me because I'm nothing like her!!  anyway, I gotta go!  I'll fill you in more later!

P.S. Chloe might go out with this guy named Nate!

Get To Know Me First

Today Claire said that Kyle likes me and he wants to ask me out!  She said he's kinda scared to cause he thinks I'll say no.  He also wants to get to know me first.  I hope he asks me out!  Then maybe Allie will go out with Randy.  Then we will all have boyfriends!  Me and Kyle, Allie and Randy, Jessalyn and Andrew, Claire and Ian, Cammie and Eric.  Wow, the dating game.  Anyway, I gotta go now!

**Editors Note: I make my own self puke I am so annoying!  Haha!**

Got Mad About It

Homecoming was a lot of fun!  I didn't go with Bobby because he had to go to visit his Dad.  Oh well.  For dinner, everyone that went was: me, Chloe, Zara, Audra, Ashley, Claire, Alison and Jessalyn.  We all wanted the same thing!  We all got cheese sticks, it was so funny!

At the dance, I danced with Randy (Allie told him to dance with me) and Kyle and Jake.  I danced with Kyle twice.  I didn't even know who he was until the dance!  He's pretty hot.  

Me and Allie and Cammie were all dancing in a circle with everyone else and a few of them left for a second and then a few more left and soon it was just us three.  We started to wonder where they were so we went to look for them.  We saw them coming out of the place where the photographer was.  They got their picture taken without us!!  I was so mad but I couldn't let it ruin my night so I forgot about it until I got home.  Then I got mad about it.  Well, that's about it!

All These Stupid Things

Audra asked me and Allie if we wanted to get together with them at Jessalyn's house before the dance.  We would all go out to dinner together, then all go to the dance together.  I wanted to do it but Allie didn't really want to.  Me and Allie were originally going to get ready together at her house and go there together.  So now I have the choice: go to dinner or stay with Allie.  That was on my mind all day.  Then Allie said that she wanted to go to dinner with us.  Then when I got done with BTW, I called her, and she said that Randy asked her to Homecoming!  The guy that Jessalyn went out with last year!  He doesn't even know her.  But she said yes.  So, now, she isn't going to dinner with us because she is going with Randy (he can drive).  

Now, we won't even be able to hang out together at the dance because I don't have a date and I would look stupid walking around with them cause I'm by myself.  I hate life.  All these stupid things always happen to me.  I think I'm gonna ask Bobby tomorrow if he wants to go to Homecoming with me.  If he says yes, then Randy can pick up Allie, then come pick up me and Bobby; we could double date.  If Bobby says no, I'll get over it, and go all by my loser self to the dance.

Nothing Cool Ever Happens

Today was so boring.  Nothing cool ever happens in any of my classes this year.  I think I did okay on my Biology test.  Maybe a B+.  

Claire was supposed to get her physical for Poms today during 1st hour.  She and her mom went to the Walk-In at 8:00am.  They said it would be about an hour wait, so they waited.  Then they said it would be about 2 more hours, so they went grocery shopping and went back.  Then they said it would be another hour and a half so they went out to lunch and came back.  Then they sat in the waiting room for another half hour.  Then they finally called her into the office.  She sat in there for a half hour waiting for the doctor to get there!  The physical took 15 minutes!  That's it!  Then her Mom took her to school and she got to be there for the last 10 minutes of 6th hour.  She has 6th hour, Gym, with me.  Then we were walking to our lockers after school, we heard on the P.A. thing that Poms try-outs have been cancelled today!  so she missed her entire day for nothing!  She could've went to school all day and made an evening appointment for the next day.  It was too funny!  Gotta go to bed!

Candy Went Flying

Today me and Allie went to the movies and saw Teaching Mrs. Tingle.  It was really good!  At the beginning of the movie I was trying to open my candy, I was pulling and pulling and then it came open and all the candy went flying everywhere all over and you could hear them falling all over the floor!  It was so funny!  We were laughing so hard!  I gotta go to bed now.

p.s. Wish me luck on my Biology test tomorrow!

How Weird People Were

Wow (the date)!!  I just got done watching the MTV Video Music Awards!  I also taped them, so in 30 years, I can show my kids how weird people were!  It's 11:11pm and there's school tomorrow so goodnight!

Gonna Tape Them

Tomorrow is 9-9-99!  Cool!  It's also the MTV Music Awards!  I'm gonna tape them.  I have BTW after school tomorrow.  Yikes!  Wish me luck!

Sixth Sense

I haven't written in here in a while!  I don't remember everything that happened since then.  I saw the Sixth Sense on Monday.  It was good!  Homecoming is the Saturday after this Saturday.  I really want Bobby to ask me to Homecoming1

More Exciting Than Homework

Bobby didn't say anything about getting a call from one of my friends.  Good.  Allie told him not to tell me that she called.  I have homework in Geometry, English and History today.  Nothing good happened today.  I'm sure the year will get some exciting.  At least more exciting than homework.

Just Grabbed One and Danced

Gosh!  The last time I wrote it was the day before school started!  A lot has happened since then!  The first day was pretty good.  Guess what?  Last year there was a yucky guy named Steve that was at my bus stop (the bus stop is at the end of my driveway and usually it's just me).  Well, Steve moved away so I figured I would be all alone waiting for the bus in the morning.  So I was standing there, waiting for the stupid bus, I looked over to my right and somebody is walking down the road toward me.  It is this really cute guy named Bobby!  He's so nice!  Now, I like riding the bus!  I'm so happy that someone cool finally rides my bus.

The second day of school was good.  I have Biology homework already.  Thursday night, Eli had a game, and right before the 2nd quarter, he broke his leg!!  He has to wear a full leg cast for about 6 weeks!  And he can't play football for the rest of the year because it takes a long time for it to completely heal and get strong again.

Friday night was the Varsity game and the Welcome Back Dance.  I went to the dance.  Me and Allie went there and almost everybody was still at the game.  After about 20 minutes, everyone got there.  Once they got there, it was so fun!  We saw a bunch of cute Freshman guys standing in a group by the wall just watching us dance, so Jessalyn just grabbed one and danced with him, so we all did!  It was so funny.  And there was more of us than there was of them so we shared.  The one I got was really cute!  His name is Josh Price.  Then for the rest of the dance they were hanging around us.  

Jessalyn got a boyfriend at the dance, but I hate him!  I didn't tell her that, but I guess I might of showed it.   They went and sat outside and talked.  Audra and Claire were with them too.  I was, but I realized what a jerk he is, I left and I stayed inside and danced.  I had way more fun inside anyway.  Allie spent the night last night.

Today we went to Grandma's house.  When we were done with dinner, we went into the living room and talked.  Mom and Grandma were cleaning the kitchen.  We looked up Bobby's number in the phone book and Allie called him!  She asked him if he liked me and he said he doesn't know, because he doesn't know me, but he said I was pretty!  I can't wait until tomorrow!

Bus Comes at 6:20

Today I babysat my cousin for an hour or so, and I helped Aunt Trista get her classroom ready for school tomorrow.  Ahh!!!  I'm nervous!  I don't know why I'm nervous, it's not like I'm a Freshman or anything.  Well I gotta go to bed cause my bus comes at 6:20am!  C-ya!

**Editors Note: Dude that is HARSH.  The bus COMES AT 6:20!  That means I had to get up at, at least, 5:20am if I only gave myself an hour to get ready.  Oh my god that sucks.  And I know I used to straighten my hair every day for school so I'm sure I got up at 5 to have enough time for that.  Ow.**

They Aren't Ready

Today I got all my stuff ready for school.  I got my clothes picked out.  I did my nails.  I got my backpack ready.  Then, at about 8:00 this evening, Allie called and said that there is no school tomorrow.  I just said "haha, sure, now what did you really call to tell me?" She said, "No, Maddie, I'm serious!"  And she promised that she was telling the truth.  So I turned on the radio and sure enough, they said that there isn't going to be school tomorrow because they aren't ready!!  Cool!  An extra day of summer!!

For Dinner We Had...

Today is Sunday.  On Friday night, Alaina spent the night.  Then on Saturday (yesterday) I went over to her house.  For dinner we had an Ice Cream Snickers bar, bread sticks, and a chocolate malt from DQ.  When I got home, I felt so sick!  I went right to bed and ten minutes later, I was in the bathroom puking.  Then I felt better.  Today me and Mom baked and decorated a cake.  It was fun.  I also drove a lot today.  Well, gotta go!

Chocolate Malt

When Dad came over, he saw the house, then we looked at pictures.  Then we went to Wal-Mart and got me another photo album.  Then we went to the Mall and I got 2 new pairs of shoes, 4 shirts for school and 6 pairs of sweat socks and 6 pairs of pretty socks.  Then we stopped at Mom's work to see her.  Then we went to the flower shop to get Grandma some flowers because it was her birthday that day.  Then we went to Dairy Queen.  I got a strawberry shake.  Dad got a chocolate Malt made with vanilla ice cream.  Dad said it tastes better made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce than made with chocolate ice cream.  That's what I'm gonna get the next time we go there.  Then it will remind me of him.  Then he dropped me off at home and we said goodbye.  I miss him a lot.

Yesterday I went over to Allie's to spend the night.  We slept in the tent in her backyard.  We stayed up till like 3 in the morning, just talking and stuff.  We were playing with her Gameboy camera and it was so fun. We went to school today to get our schedules and decorate our lockers.  Mine looks really cool!!!!!  Well I gotta go to bed now!

Got Divorced

School starts on the 25th.  I'm gonna start writing in here today because I'm never going to be able to fill this diary unless I write a lot, every day.  

I just got back from Dad's house yesterday.  Mom and Jon got divorced.  Jon and Justin already moved out.  I'm so sad.  And they took a bunch of stuff with them too.  They took the futon, the TV from Mom's room, all of the stuff from Justin's room, the N64, Mom & Jon's bed, some dishes, and last but not least, the worse thing they could do, they took Penny.  My baby girl!  I'm so mad!  How could they do that to me?!  I miss her so much!  All I want to do is hold her in my arms, but I can't.

Mom's friend Josie gave us her couch, love seat and table!  We made Justin's room into a den.  And the house looks a lot cleaner without those two around.  Dad is staying with Grandma and Grandpa until tomorrow, so he's going to come over to see the house and say goodbye to me and Brennan today at around 12:30.  That's in a half hour.  I better go eat lunch before he gets here, since he already ate at Gram & Gramps house.  Bye!

p.s. Aunt Patty told Dad that when I get my license, she is going to give me her car!!!

Old Navy Tech Vest

Today is our last day here, we're leaving tomorrow afternoon.  It's 12:09am and I'm still up cause I'm packing my stuff so I won't have to do it tomorrow.  We went to the mall today so I could get a backpack and an Old Navy Tech Vest.  I also bought some nail polish at Old Navy, 3 for $5.

After dinner, we all watched the videos of the family from 98-99.  I gotta finish packing and get to bed!

Sixteen Candles

This morning I babysat from 9:30-11.  Before I left, Carol gave me a gift.  A nail pop and a mini caboodle's with hair clips and stuff inside.  It was really cool.  The nail pop is like nail polish, it's shaped like a sucker and it's wrapped like one.  It smells like grape!  

Then we went to the pool.  When Dad got home, we went to Blockbuster and rented Sixteen Candles.  We just got done watching it now.  It's 10:19.  The Tom Green show is on at 10:30 so I'm gonna watch that, then go to bed.

Free Stuff Inside

Today I babysat at the Victor's from 10-3.  The kids were pretty good.  Then, after I got home from babysitting, Mom took me to the doctors, I have a middle ear infection.  I have 2 medicines for it.  We went to CVS to pick them up and I got a "Caboodle's" make-up holder.  It had some free stuff inside, travel deodorant, V05 Hot Oil, Pantene Pro V conditioning spray, Calgon Hawaiian Ginger body mist, a coupon for a free issue of Teen Magazine and some samples of perfume.  I also bought some eyeliner and Sweet Treats Lip Gloss.  After dinner today we went to DQ.  Now it's 11:14pm and I'm sitting on my bed watching Undressed.  C-ya!

It Finally Rained

We didn't really do anything today.  We just stayed at home, inside, because it finally rained!  The first time this summer!  I've been trying to spend as much time as I can with the kids.  I'm gonna miss them so much. I don't wanna leave.  Tomorrow I have to babysit at the Victor's.  Then I have to go to the doctor's, I think I have an ear infection.  I called Mom today and she said that right when I get back I have to call my drivers ed teacher and tell him I'm back so that I can take my BTW.

Painted Our Nails

This morning me and Mom went outside and painted our nails.  Then we and Brennan went for a bike ride.  At around 6:00, Amy had a birthday party.  I can't believe that she's 6 years old already!  When I met her, she was only 21 months!  I don't really want to babysit at all this week but I have to babysit on Wednesday from 10 to 3 at the Victor's and Thursday from 9:30-11 at the Miller's.  I gotta go!

Slice of Pizza

Today Mom and I went and got our hair cut.  Then went out for a slice of pizza.  Then we went to the bookstore and drugstore.  We got some nail polish and we're gonna do our nails tomorrow night.  Then we went grocery shopping.  I can't believe how fast summer has gone by!  We're leaving on Saturday, the 14th.  I'm gonna miss everyone here so much.  Gotta go to bed.  Goodnight!

P.S. I called most of my friends today and I don't have classes with any of them!  More bad news...Jessalyn might be moving away!

School Shopping

Today Katelyn's Dad came to pick her up.  Then Mom, Brennan and I all went school shopping.  This is what I got:

Two Out Of Three

I haven't wrote in a while.  Katelyn came over on Monday and went home Monday night.  Tuesday she stayed the day and spent the night and Wednesday night.  Yesterday (Thursday) she spent the day, and she's spending the night tonight, she's leaving in the morning.  I am sick right now, so I am staying home while they are at the pool.  

On Wednesday evening me and Katelyn went for a walk to Hallmark and The Dollar Store.  When we came out of the store there were three guys sitting on the bench and their bikes.  When we walked by them they said "Hi girls!  How are you?" and I said "good," One of them said "My friend wants you!" But me and Katelyn kept walking and we'd turn around every once and a while.  They kept yelling stuff like "Call me baby!  My name's Chris!  409-BLAH" (I forgot it).  Two out of three of them were cute.  Gotta go.

It Wasn't Good Sleep

Yesterday morning before we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house we stopped at the bookstore because Curious George was there.  The boys loved it!  Not too much happened at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Stuff did happen that I could write about but I'm too tired, and it's not worth it.  Last night I only got a little bit of sleep and it wasn't good sleep.  Goodnight.

p.s. I'll draw how I had to sleep:

Brown and Crunchy

Today I had to go back to the Optometrist to order my contacts.  I helped Tabitha bake an apple pie and brownies.  They are for Grandma & Grandpa; we're going to their house tomorrow.  It's Katelyn's birthday.  We got her 2 Beanie Babies and these really cute flower, glittery hair clips.  It is so hot outside that all the grass is brown and crunchy.  Brennan stepped on a stick with his bare feet and got a giant sliver.  When I came downstairs I saw a giant spider on the floor just crawling around.  Dad said it was the biggest one he's ever seen in a house!  I was so scared!

$210!!

Guess how much money I have?  $210!!  If I didn't spend my money all summer, I would have about $350!  At 5:00pm today, Dan & Nicole came over so I could babysit them.  They played and ate dinner here till 8:00pm.  Then I took them back home.  Snack, bath, PJ's, books, bed.  And guess what this time is the first time that they actually slept!

Way Too Early!

Today I have to babysit Ethan, Cam and Hanna Johnson from 7:30-12:00.  It's 7:00 right now.  Way too early!  It's summer for crying out loud!  I should be sleeping until 10 or 11!  I'm gonna finish getting ready.

I Am Normal

Today from 10:00am till 3:00pm I babysat Dan & Nicole.  They were pretty good.  First they wanted to read books, so we read about 4 of them.  Then we watched TV for a little while.  Then we played a game. Then Brennan came over to play pinball.  I made them lunch while they watched Rugrats.  Nicole wanted Jelly & Chocolate.  Dan wanted Peanut Butter and Fluff.  I am normal, I like PB&J.  After lunch, Dan wanted to watch Little Bear, and Nicole wanted to watch Mary Poppins.  So me and her watched it in the living room.  Then we had a snack.  Ice pops and fruit roll-ups.  Then we played little red riding hood.  Then, we played bubble gum bubble gum.  Then we played hide and seek.  Finally, after that, it was 3:00.  

When I got home, we got ready and went to the pool.  When we were there, we saw Anne there with her kids and she said that she couldn't stay because they had to go to a bday party.  Well, turns out it was Ellen Cramer's birthday, and we weren't invited.  Then, Amy asked Maddox, "Were you invited to Ellen's birthday party?" and sweet little Maddox said "No..." and Amy said, "Well, I was!!"  I think that was pretty rude.  Well I gotta go to bed now.

**Editors Note: I feel soooo sorry for my poor 15 year old self having to have a day like this.  Good god, a 5 year olds drama becomes my drama means something just isn't right.  I really needed to be around some friggin teenagers.**

He Drank It, Nasty!

• I just got back from the Jonhnson's house.  
• I went there at 7:30.  
• I had to go and wake up Ethan at 8:00 and Cam woke up at 8, too.  
• Then Hannah woke up at about 8:10.  
• I gave them breakfast, Lucky Charms and apple juice.  
• Cam wanted V8, so I gave it to him and he drank it, nasty!  
• Then I had to get them dressed and get Ethan over to Anne's by 9:00 so he can go to Vacation Bible School.  
• Then I took Cam and Hannah on the trampoline.  
• Then we went for a walk around the block.  
• Then they watched Power Rangers and then ate lunch.
• Now I'm home.  
• I have to go to the brown's house at 1:30, it's 1:15.  
• I'll write again tonight.

**Editors Note: I formatted this into bullet form because I felt it was necessary, considering that I basically wrote it out as a play-by-play of unimportant events.  I thought bulleting would help it.  I'm pretty sure I wrote all this out so that in the future I could look back and remind myself how pathetic my teenage summers had to be.**

Lousy Buck

At the Brown's, all I did was play a few games with Kelly for an hour.  When I got home I played some games with Maddox and then Mom said that we were going to the pool in 10 minutes.  So we all hurried and got ready.  Then she said that The Victor's were coming with us.  So we went to their house and they followed us in their car.  We stopped and picked up some KFC to eat at the pool.  While me and Brennan were in the diving pool, I found a dollar laying at the bottom and since I found it, I kept it.  After all, it's only one lousy buck.

Starting To Get Tan

This morning I went over to the Brown's and babysat Kelly, Seth and Mitchell.  Then we went to the pool. I'm really starting to get tan.  I have about $150.  I didn't buy my glasses yet.  Tomorrow I have to babysit 3 of the Johnson kids from 7:30am-12:00pm.  Then we're going to the pool again.  On Wednesday, I have to babysit Dan & Nicole from 10:00am to 3:00pm.  Thursday I'm back at the Johnson's, same time.  Well, gotta run!

I Love Amish People, They're So Cute!

Yesterday we went tubing down the Delaware river.  It was so much fun!  First you get the tube that is the right size for you.  Then you get in a bus and they drive you up to a certain spot of the river.  It was really shallow, not even up to my knees.  We all got in our tubes and started paddling over to the middle of the river so we didn't float close to the trees.  The current wasn't very fast, especially since the water was really shallow the whole time.  Sometimes it's so shallow that your butt hits the rocks on the bottom.  It was really fun.  Then we went and got ice cream.  Today we went to church.  Then we came back home for lunch.  After lunch we are gonna go on a train ride.  I'll write about that after we get back.

After the train ride...

Hi!  The train was really fun.  It is in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (an Amish town!) so we saw LOTS of Amish people.  I love Amish people, they're so cute!  When we were leaving, we were driving behind a horse and buggy with a family of Amish people in it.  All of the sudden, we saw a little girl's head poke out of the back window (she was maybe 3 years old, blond hair, little blue bonnet, she was really tiny) so we waved to her and she smiled and waved back at u, it was so cute!!!  

The train ride, that's what I should be talking about.  It was really cool.  The seats were really comfortable.  The train took us on what was pretty much a tour of the countryside.  It was so cool.  We got to this part where all you could see was hills for miles, just empty fields.  Then the conductor said to be very quiet and listen.  Then he blew the whistle and about 3 seconds later, you could hear it again.  An echo!  After the train ride we went to the train diner.  It was a little diner that looked like a train caboose.  They even have the sound of a train going over tracks and the horn blowing playing.  And the whole place bumps up and down like a real train.  It was cool.

Watching It On MTV

This morning I went to babysit Elizabeth from 9:15-10:45.  Then at 11:00 I went to the Optometrist to get my trial pair of contacts!  I learned how to put them in, take them out, clean them, etc.  I'm so happy that I finally have contacts!  Today is the first day of Woodstock '99.  I'm watching it on MTV.  I think it would be so cool to be there.  Tomorrow we're going on the train ride.  Or we might go tubing.

Cool Stuff Like Milkey Pens

It's 7:20pm.  Dan & Nicole were pretty good.  Basically all we did was watch TV.  Now I have $140!  I have to spend $110 on glasses, cause Dad is buying me contacts.  That means that I will have $30 left.  What a bummer!!!  I wish that I didn't need glasses!  I wanted to save up my money to get cool stuff like milkey pens and stationary.  Well, I gotta go!

p.s. This weekend we're going tubing down a river!

**Editors Note:  WTF DAD are you serious you made me buy my own glasses at 14 years old?!  I am so offended by this knowledge.  I mean I know you provided a lot for me but what is that?!  So random.  End of rant.**

I Made $7

This morning I babysat Steven & Michael Brown.  It was pretty easy.  I made $7.  It's 3:24pm now.  I have to go over to the Victor's at 4:20 till 5:00.  I have to watch the two kids while Kate gets piano lessons.  Brennan is so excited to go play pinball.  I hope that they are good today, they are usually annoying.  Yesterday, Nicole whacked me in the face with a Game Boy (by accident).  Well, I gotta go now!  Bye!

**Editors Note:  In hindsight, these babysitting jobs are straight up slave labor.  Would you take $7 to get whacked in the face with Game Boys?  Dude.  No.**

Getting Called Upstairs to "Help Out"

Today is the only day this week that I don't have to babysit.  

• I babysat yesterday  
• I have to babysit tomorrow from 10am-3pm; Dan & Nicole  
• Thursday from 9:00-11:00; Steven & Michael  
• Friday from 9:30-11:00; Elizabeth

This morning me and Brennan played Balderdash.  It's a fun game.  Then I went to Sara's house.  Ashley was there.  I was supposed to go to Ashley's house, but she called me and told me to go to Sara's.  I am so hungry and tired.  I like it here and I don't miss Michigan, but these kids are driving me CRAZY!  I can't take it!  I can never just sit in my room and have peace and quiet for an hour or so.  I'm always getting called upstairs to "help out".  Fold laundry, feed Lila, set the table, empty the dishwasher, fold more laundry, watch the boys, change diapers, etc.  I'm tired!!!

**Editors Note: Like I said, this is how you keep your teens from having babies.  Give them lots of little siblings!**

Getting Contacts

I haven't written in a while because I've been busy!  Let's see, the last day I wrote was July 8th.  On the 9th I babysat Elizabeth from 9:30-11am.  Then we went to the pool all day.  I don't remember what I did over the weekend.  On the 12th I babysat three of the Jackson kids from 7:30am-noon.  On the 13th I babysat for them, same time.  Then that afternoon, Dad took me, Brennan and Maddox Go-Kart racing.  The 14th, 15th and 16th we went camping.  The 17th we went to Hershey Park.  I went on a lot of cool rides.  The coasters: Great Bear, Trailblazer, Wildcat, Comet and Wild Mouse.  The 17th we slept in really late because of the busy week and we sat around all day.  Today I babysat Steven from 9:00-11:30am.  I also went to the eye doctors, I'm getting contacts!!!

Pool All Day

Today, Mom had to go to the store at around 8:30 this morning and she took Lila with her.  So I babysat Maddox, Brennan and Mika and then Mrs. Jackson came over to take Maddox and Brennan and gave me Heather.  So I babysat Heather and Mika until Mom got back home.  

We went to the pool after lunch.  It was Dana's 5th birthday party today, and the party was at the pool.  We stayed at the pool all day until dinner time.  Then we got KFC and came home and ate.  Then I went over to Kathy's to babysit the two boys from 7:30-10:30pm.  When I got home, I counted all my money and I have $90.  I would have a lot more but I bought 6 Beanies and 1 Puffkin and some other small things a while ago.

A Lot To Do This Summer

Yesterday was the 4th of July, it was fun. We saw some awesome fireworks! They were all different shapes and stuff. I babysat this morning for Elizabeth from 9:30-12. Then at around 3:00 we went to the pool. We�re going to go every day. Maddox is learning to swim! He�s doing so good! We still have a lot to do this summer. Go Go-Kart racing, camping, canoeing, white water rafting and Hershey Park. Fun stuff! It�s been so hot out! Yesterday, it was 103 degrees and today it was 101 degrees, tomorrow it�s supposed to be like today. I�m going to bed now, it�s 11:00pm.

I Do It Anyway Because I Really Need The Money

Babysitting Dan & Nicole wasn't too bad.  It's 6:15 now, 45 minutes until I have to babysit again; for Dana & Kevin.  I made 30 bucks so far and I should make about 25-30 more tonight!  That's a lot for one day!  It's really a lot, but this money don't come easy!  

I really don't like babysitting but I do it anyway because I really need the money.  It seems like the older I get, the harder the kids are on me.  I've been babysitting since I was 12 and I don't remember having any problems.  Oh well!  I also seem to have less patience now then I did when I was 12.  I used to have so much fun with the kids, now all they do is give me a headache!  I'm going to bring some paper and stuff and I'm going to write some letters to my friends when I get the kids to bed.  I'm going to be there till midnight, what else is there to do?!  TV starts getting boring at night.  There's mostly just re-runs from daytime.  Bye!

**Editors Note: What the heck did I "really need the money" for anyway?  Lots of Beanie Babies to buy, I suppose.  Priorities!  Also... the drawing you see should explain why I am 27 years old and still don't have any kids.  I was trained early and trained well.**

Loveline Is On, I Hate This Show

I'm babysitting right now.  It's 11:10 already.  The kids were good.  You know what I've been doing the whole time?  I wrote Alaina a 4 page letter!  That's pretty long.  Loveline is on, I hate this show, it's so nasty.  Why would I want to know about other people's sexual problems?!  I'm so bored.

This is cool, I love babysitting at night.  I'm getting paid $5 an hour to watch TV and listen to music.  I only had an hour and a half of work.  Five hours of payment!  These people's theme song for their house should be "The Ants Go Marching" because once in a while I look over and see a little ant marching by.  Anyway, gotta go now!

Beanies I Got So Far

Today I went to Hallmark and I got "Spangle" the 4th of July bear.  All the Beanies I got so far this summer are bears.  I have Spangle, Princess, Erin, Peace and Halo.  And I only have one Puffkin, Lucky.  I got the Beanie "Whisper" for Alaina and I'm sending it to her tomorrow. 

I am going to be babysitting almost all day tomorrow.  Nicole & Dan at 10:00am - 3:00pm then Dana & Kyle at 7:00pm-12:00am.  I'm gonna be so tired!  Speaking of tired, I'm tired now, it's 11:15pm.  Gooodnight!

**Editors Note: Some people are "trying" to sell that Princess Beanie on eBay for like, a million dollars. I mean, they have no bids on them, but WHAAAT?!  I have that one.  Why a Million?  It's only WORTH that much if people are PAYING that much.  Which they clearly aren't.  Hopefully they start paying up and I can sell my stash.**

Austin Powers

There's a heat wave going on now!  It's been 95 degrees for the past 3 days and it's supposed to be like that tomorrow.  Today we went to the movies.  Me, Dad and Brennan saw Austin Powers.  

Mom, Maddox and Mika saw Tarzan.  We got a babysitter for Lila.  Tomorrow I'm babysitting for the Brown's from 9-11am.  Then we are going to the pool.  Maddox is starting swimming lessons.  I hope he likes it!  I'm so tired.  Goodnight!

Wake Up At 8:00

I haven't written in a few days because I've been really busy and I haven't been getting to bed until late.  Like tonight, it's 11:11.  I have to wake up at 8:00 because we have to take Brennan and Maddox to Vacation Bible school every morning at 9:00 until Friday.  Tomorrow is Maddox's birthday party.  I've had a few babysitting jobs now and more on the calendar.  I am so tired and I have more to say but I have to go to sleep!!!

A Bulletin Board

I went next door to go and see Amy and Kelly and Seth and Mitchell.  I missed them a lot.  I don't have any definite babysitting jobs yet, just some maybes.  My room is so cool, I decorated it a little.  I have a cool idea for that square electrical box opening thing.  It looks like a bulletin board without the cork, and it's the same color as my walls, so Dad said that I could make it a bulletin board.  He's gonna put cork on it and cover the cork in that awesome wrapping paper that I had on my birthday presents.  Dad said we might go to the movies today or tomorrow.

Green Day

Today is Maddox's 4th birthday.  I am so glad to be here!  I got 2 early birthday presents.  A stereo and a Green Day CD.   It's really late so I can't write a lot.  Goodnight!

P.S. I'm going to use this for a summer journal because I don't have one and this is practically empty.

Happy Summer!

Today is going to be a busy day!  At around 2:00 we are going into town, go to Alaina's house to get my book and say goodbye, then go to Grandma's house to say goodbye, then I have to go to Range at 4:00 and they will pick me up at 6:00.  We will go straight to Gram and Grandpa Davis' house.  From there, we will say goodbye to Mom.

We will spend the night there and leave with them in the morning to Midland.  That's where the family reunion is, and that's where Dad will be.  After the reunion we are going to a hotel and the next day, we are going to Cedar Point!!  Cool!

I still have quite a few more pages in here but I am not going to bring this with me to Dad's so I am going to try to fill it up now.  The hard thing is that there is nothing to write!  All I can say is that it's been a great year and I had fun but I'm so damn happy it's summer!!!

Happy Summer!!

The year is finally over!!!!!

Good Job Parallel Parking

Tomorrow is the last day of Range!  The last day of Range IS a test!  I'm kinda nervous.  Oh!  Yesterday, during Range, someone backed into us and luckily there was no dent!!  Nobody got kicked out.  I did a good job parallel parking today.  It's not hard.  I'm not good at backing into a parking spot though.  Wish me luck on the test tomorrow!!  I better pass!

Lotsa Cool Clothes

On Friday, Allie spent the night at my house, it was fun.  On Saturday we went to Saginaw to go clothes shopping for summer.  I got lotsa cool clothes!  It is so hot outside!!  Way too hot!!

I have Range tomorrow and I'm nervous!!  It's not like it's a test or anything, they're teaching us how to drive, but I'm scared because I don't know what it's like.  I'm sure it won't be so bad.

I'm so excited to see Dad, and Tabitha, and Maddox and Mika, and Lila and all the pets and all my neighbors!

Actually Liked School

No more school till next year!  I am so happy!  I can't believe I actually liked school at the beginning of the year!  Anyway, the French final was pretty easy.  I don't know my score.  I got an A- on my English final. I got a D on my Algebra final.  This is what I think I got for grades on the finals and in the class for the year:

History - Final: C  class grade: B

Science - Final: B  class grade: B

Photography - Final: A- class grade: A

French - Final: A- class grade: A

English - Final: A- class grade: A

Algebra - Final: D  class grade: B

Over the summer I am going to buy another diary and then I'll write my real grades.  I'm gonna do one every year.  There was only 8 people on my bus today on the way home.  That's cool!  I got home at 3:08 instead of 3:20!  Yay, summer vacation!!!
