Entry 171

October 1st, 1996

Dear Diary,

            I sat by Ray at lunch today again.  Also I got to thinking about all the guys I have for friends and it turned out that I have about 16 or 17 of them which I was kind of surprised about, not to mention about 3 of them are in high school.  I will list who they are in a later entry.

October 2nd, 1996

Dear Diary,

            I went to church as usual today, I was kind of disappointed because it was the first Wednesday in two months that Dan hasn’t called me and asked if I was coming to church tonight.  I thought it was kind of annoying, but when he didn’t call today I kind of missed him calling.

Dear Diary,

I’ve been so busy lately, I have completely forgot about writing entries. Anyways, there’s this boy named Ricky, who I like, and I think he likes me. I am hoping he will ask me out on Monday.

Dear Diary,

Sarah is going to watch me tonight, because my parents are out of town. They went to Panama City. On Friday night I spent the night with Christy and Dan. Tomorrow Curran is going to pick me up and take me to church.

 

Entry 177

October 13th, 1996

Dear Diary,

            At church today I started thinking that maybe I don’t like Dan anymore…I am not sure yet though.  I do know that I like Clark, Joey, and Ricky.  I know I don’t like Ray anymore either.

           

Entry 178

October 14th, 1996

Dear Diary,

I started going out with Ricky today, isn’t that great?? I knew he liked me and I knew he knew I liked him. I will admit he is not that cute, but looks don’t really matter to me. All that matters is what’s inside.

 

Entry 179

October 15th

Dear Diary,

It was not so bad during the first day of us going out. About a thousand people asked me if we went out. I did not mind that much though. I mean I should not be ashamed of who I go out with, right?

Entry 181

October 17th, 1996

Dear Diary,

I don’t know if I should break up with Ricky or not. I mean I like him, but I don’t know if I like him enough to go out with him. I am not going to say dump him because I don’t want it to sound mean. I would go ahead and break up with him now, but I don’t want to hurt his feelings.

 

Entry 182

October 18th, 1996

Dear Diary,

What’s up? I didn’t go to school today. Oh, I forgot to tell you I started my period on the 16th. Amy invited me to the homecoming game and I went it was so much fun. I mean I saw Lora, Allison, Mary, and Amy (obviously).

 

Entry 183

October 19th, 1996

Dear Diary,

            I didn’t go to school yesterday because I didn’t have a ride seeing as my Mom usually takes me.  She left yesterday though to go to some conference thing for her job she had to go to some place that is about seven hours away.

 

Entry 184

October 20th, 1996

Dear Diary,

            I didn’t go to church today because my Dad was supposed to take me, but he overslept.  It kind of sucked that I didn’t get to go because I was looking forward to seeing Dan and attempting to beat him up….although I don’t know why guess that is just my awkward way of flirting.

 

Entry 185

October 21st, 1996

Dear Diary,

Ray nearly died today at lunch just because I would not let him have my stupid chips for my lunch because I had promised them to someone else, which was Marcus. I let Jessica borrow my yearbook today.

 

Entry 186

October 22nd, 1996

Dear Diary,

            I didn’t want all of my Sprite at lunch today and so I asked Joey (who is very cute) if he wanted the rest of it.  Of course him being a guy said yeh and this is the cool part, normally when I give him some of my left over drink he pours it into his milk carton, but instead today he just drank out of the can after me!!

Entry 189

October 25th, 1996

Dear Diary,

            We had so much fun today.  We went to Red’s and I was happy because I got to see all of my old friends from Gardner Newman, it made me think of an old quote I once read, “Make new friends keep the old, one is silver the other is gold.”
