Entry 469

August 1st, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Today we left Aunt Kathy’s and we got back kind of late like at 9:30 at night, and Kathy and Keith didn’t get here until like 11:00 though.  They were surprised to see how big Maggie’s gotten.  She’s still not full grown though, and she probably won’t be until she is about 2 years old.

 

Entry 470

August 2nd, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Today Mom, Dad, Kathy, and Keith all went to flea markets, while I stayed home, ‘cause I hate going to those things.  They got back around like 6 p.m though.  Then we had dinner kind of late like at 9 something…which had so much food it seemed like a Thanksgiving dinner or something, and after that we watched Scream.

 

Entry 471

August 3rd, 1997

Dear Diary,

            We didn’t go to church this morning since Kathy and Keith were here.  They left in the afternoon.  There dog Belle, Maggie’s mom died, Kathy accidentally ran over her while backing out of the drive and Belle ran out behind her and Kathy didn’t see her.

 

Entry 472

August 4th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            My Mom had to go to some teacher workshop thing today, and has to go every day this week.  So I will be home by myself during the day this whole week.  It really doesn’t make a difference because I will just sleep really late, and by the time I wake up it will be time for my Mom to get home anyways.

 

Entry 473

August 5th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I found out today that I am leaving to go stay with Aunt Susan for a week, next Tuesday, and here is the best part, I am supposed to be coming back on a plane on Sunday all by myself.  I’m sort of scared that we’ll crash, just because of the movies I seen and stuff.  I have never flown on a plane before except when I was a baby, but I really don’t even remember, so I don’t know if that counts or not.

 

Entry 474

August 6th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            We didn’t have church tonight because our preacher was invited to preach at another church’s revival and a lot of people from our church went to the church he was invited to preach at. 

 

Entry 475

August 7th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Amy and I planned to go see a movie tomorrow.  We’re either gonna see “Air Force One”, or “Good Burger”.  I found out that Mary is moving to L.A. in California today, which really sucks.  She needs somewhere to stay for awhile though, while her Mom goes there to find a job, and a place for them to live.

 

Entry 476

August 8th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I went to go neither one of the movies I thought we were going to see today with Amy, we saw “Men In Black”, it was really good though so I wasn’t disappointed or anything.  Mel and his friend Jack (who has visited before) are coming this weekend, for Mel’s birthday, but they are only staying for one night.

 

Entry 477

August 9th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Mel and Jack got here pretty early, like around 5 or 6 pm.  They left to get some movies from Blockbuster, but they movies they got pretty much sucked, and I didn’t really wanna watch them, so I just went to bed.

 

Entry 478

August 10th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I didn’t go to church today, because when my Mom came in and woke me up and told me to get ready, I was just way too tired, since I didn’t go to sleep until 4 in the morning.  Mel and Jack left today and I really wished they could have stayed longer, but ah well.

 

Entry 479

August 11th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Christy came over today for a few hours, and Dan brought her over and he stayed for a bit so he could pick out some movies to borrow.  I’m leaving for Aunt Susan’s tomorrow woo hoo!!

 

Entry 480

August 12th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            My Mom and I left at like 10 in the morning and got to Aunt Susan’s at like 2 in the afternoon.  Aunt Susan’s friends Nicole and Pat came over and ate dinner with us.  Nicole is 19 around my cousin, Sarah’s age, Aunt Susan is her Godmother.

 

Entry 481

August 13th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            My Mom, Aunt Susan, and I went out to eat at Applebee’s and my Mom left whenever we got back, which was about 1 in the afternoon.  Aunt Susan’s sons (my cousins) Bill and Trave are supposed to come this weekend.  Later on in the afternoon Aunt Susan and I went to go see a movie called “Air Bud”, it was alright I guess.

           

Entry 482

August 14th, 1997

Dear Diary,     

            Nicole’s brother Brian was put in intensive care at the hospital today, and Nicole’s other brother, Gatty and her Dad went up to the hospital without her knowing.  Nicole went into hysterics and put her in a condition so bad as to where she threw up all over herself, because when my Aunt Susan told her over the phone Nicole at first thought she said he was dead, but she is alright now.

 

Entry 483

August 15th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            My cousins Bill and Trave called today and said they are definitely coming tomorrow around 12 or 1.  So that should be really cool to see them, and then Trave is going to take me to the airport on Sunday, and we are probably going to stop by and see Aunt Gail and Uncle Bill.

 

Entry 484

August 16th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Aunt Susan and I stayed home all day today and didn’t really do much but watch T.V.  Aunt Susan cooked, and Bill got here at about 12:30, but Trave didn’t arrive until about 6 or 7 that night.  Elliot came over also, one of Aunt Susan’s friends.

 

Entry 485

August 17th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Trave and I left at about 10 this morning, and we got to Uncle Bill’s and Aunt Gail’s at about 1.  We went out to eat for lunch, and it was pretty cool.  Then we went back to house and talked for a bit until Trave and I had to leave.  The plane ride really sucked though because there was this little girl who got to sit next to window right next to me and I got so mad!

 

Entry 486

August 18th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I stayed home all by myself ‘cause my Mom has to work at school all this week.  We go to register for school on Thursday and start on Monday.  I really don’t want to start yet though, everything is going to be different without Mary….I am already starting to miss her.

 

Entry 487

August 19th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Man life can be so messed up sometimes, ya know, everything just seems like a blur right now.  Sometimes I just wish I would hurry up and die, and others I wish my life could last for eternity.  I always wonder what it would be like to be someone else…would it be easier or harder?

 

Entry 488

August 20th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I go to register tomorrow, I can not believe that summer is finally coming to an end.  I guess that is just another chapter in life coming to close.  Never again will I feel the sorrow, happiness, anger, joy, etc. like I did this summer.  I guess it won’t be easy adjusting to my new schedule, but I’ll do it just like I always do.

 

Entry 489

August 21st, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I went to go register today and of course as it turns out all the people I didn’t want on my team, are on it…great!  I have Tara on my team and that is pretty bad, I really hope I don’t have any classes with her, Jessica said she would find out for me.

 

Entry 490

August 22nd, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Jessica still hasn’t asked Tara, she said she will tomorrow.  Amy, Carol, and I went to the movies today and saw, “Air Force One”, it was actually better than I thought it would be.  I’m glad Amy didn’t invite Ray.

 

Entry 491

August 23rd, 1997

Dear Diary,

            DeWayne had a cookout for the youth group at his house today, it was fun.  Some of us got on the trampoline and tackled each other, being boys against girls, and I couldn’t stop laughing, and some people played volleyball, not including me.

 

Entry 492

August 24th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Well tomorrow is the big day, when I will be in 8th grade…scary ya know why?  One more year and then high school!!  I really don’t wanna start school, but then again I really have no choice in the matter.  I have really been bored most of the day, other than going to church with my Mom, I haven’t really done anything.  I think I am mostly ready to just get in the routine of getting up for school and stuff ya know?

 

Entry 493

August 25th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I went to school today, and guess who is at our school now….ALLAN WEBB!!  I still like him too, how pathetic is that?  He can make me laugh so easily sometimes.  Joey and Ray are in my classes, I only have one with Ray, and four with Joey.

 

Entry 494

August 26th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            We got our lockers at school today, and most of our books, and I had homework tonight.  I fell asleep while I was doing it too at like 6 something, and I woke back up at like 9 and finished it.  I talked to Amy and Carol a couple times.

 

Entry 495

August 27th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I didn’t go to church tonight, even though I really meant too, but I was just really tired I guess.  I’ve been so tired and worn out, it’s like as soon as I get home I feel like going straight to sleep.

 

Entry 496

August 28th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I really want to go out with someone, but there isn’t really anyone I like all that much.  I did like Joey and Allan, but I don’t like them anymore…I guess.  Dan, I sort of like sometimes, and then other times I don’t like him at all…so I just don’t know.

 

Entry 497

August 29th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I went to school and we didn’t really have anything eventful go on there today.  I can’t wait until tomorrow because my Mom and I are going shopping so I can get me some new clothes…I hope I find some cool looking stuff.

 

Entry 498

August 30th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            My Mom and I got back from shopping at about 2 this afternoon, and Mary called almost as soon as I walked in the door.  She told me she was in LaGrange temporarily with her grandparents and we decided to go to Red’s tonight, along with Amy.  Then I decided to ask my Mom if it was alright if Amy and Mary could spend the night tonight too.  Mary is supposed to be here until Monday.

 

Entry 499

August 31st, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Mary came to church with me this morning, and afterwards we ended up meeting Carol and Amy at the mall.  Then Mary and I went across the street to the movies and saw “Mimic”, Amy and Carol didn’t wanna go.  The movie really sucked, but we saw this really fine guy there though.
