September 1st, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I’m so glad Labor’s Day is today because we get to miss a day of school.  Anyways, Mary stayed over until about 4 in the afternoon when her Mom came to pick her up and also had Mary’s little sister, Sarah with her.  Turns out Mary might not be moving to L.A.  She said that they’re definitely not moving back here though.

Dear Diary,

            I went to school today, and everything went okay I guess.  I realized today though that I have a crush on a 7th grader, someone that’s a year younger than me.  I don’t really care though, his name is Jamie, and I mostly like him because he is funny, and I know whenever I find Mr. Right he so has to have a sense of humor.

September 3rd, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Today I have decided I am going to start looking at things a little different.  I am going to look for the beauty in things, and just try and take an optimistic view on life..note the keyword try though.

 

Entry 503

September 4th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Ya know, sometime ya feel like everything is perfect, and now it seems as if my world is completely ruined.  Why I feel this way…I have no idea.  It’s just like some big empty feeling inside of me.  I want it to disappear, but it just won’t go away.  What’s wrong with me?

September 5th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Princess Diana died this past week in London.  She was known all over the world for her loving kindness.  It was such a shock to hear that she died.  I don’t think I am even quite over it just yet.  It is almost like a piece of the world just melted away when she died.  She was one of the most popular women all throughout the world.

September 6th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Woo hoo!! It’s Saturday no school!  I miss summer very much, I miss being able to sleep in, because I really hate getting up early, of course this is just one those things in life that ya just can’t control.

 

Entry 506

September 7th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I went to church today, and I don’t think I like Dan anymore, as well as Allan, because he is an annoying little creep.  I now only like two people that I can think of and one is in the 8th grade, Pete and the other is in the 7th grade Jamie ( I don’t know his last name).

 

Entry 507

September 8th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Today for the first time I noticed that I was starting to gain weight.  So now I have got to try and lose some before I get fat, just by trying to only eat when my stomach is just growling so much that I can’t stand it.

 

Entry 508

September 9th, 1997

Dear Diary

            I realized today that things have changed so much for me.  Oh, what I would give to go back to elementary school.  Things were so much simpler back then, I mean next year I will going to high and then though four years will fly and before I know it I will be in college, and I can’t help wondering what will become of me and my relationship with my friends.

 

Entry 509

September 10th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I went to church and I had another realization; I am so different from the people there.  I don’t fall in love with a little kid at first sight.  I’m not at all interested in any sports of any kind.  And I seem to be the only one that talks and responds during our class when Curran asks a question.

 

Entry 510

September 11th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            You know how I have had a diary every since like fifth grade, and I didn’t start writing in one every single day until the sixth grade?  I seem to be the only person I know right now that even has a diary, or journal, which makes me wonder does this also have to do with me loving to write.

 

Entry 511

September 12th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Besides going to school I stayed home because none of my friends could go anywhere.  Amy had to go to her cousin’s wedding in North Carolina, and will be gone all weekend.  Mary might be moving to West Point, and I hope so, so that way she will still be really close.  I wonder what school she will have to go too….

 

Entry 512

September 13th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I was like incredibly bored today, since nothing all that interesting happened, and I hardly did anything, doesn’t that sound like such wonderful fun?  I really hate school!  Not really the people but just having to go and get up early and all that great stuff.

 

Entry 513

September 14th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I thought I was going to go to church this morning, but obviously not because when I woke up it was like 11:30 am.  Other than that little event I stayed at home all day, which once again caused me to have a pretty boring day.

 

Entry 514

September 15th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Okay you won’t believe what happened today!! Okay on AOL (America Online) there is this web site called Poetry Place where there are chat rooms and people recite poems in these chat rooms.  So I recited my poem Growing Up and this dude sent me an instant message asking me to recite that poem again on Tuesday at a Workshop online in that room at 9 pm…so I am pretty psyched about that!

 

Entry 515

September 16th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Hey what’s up??  I don’t know if I should go to the dance at school on Friday or stay home.  I mean if I do I really won’t do anything the whole time, but just like stand there, and I’ll talk to hardly anyone.  So I might go…I dunno it just depends…but right now I really don’t care.

 

Entry 516

September 17th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I think I just might be in love!!  Wanna know who??  Samuel Bartlett, he’s not really fine, but he’s not ugly ya know?  I think he likes me, but I am not really sure though, I feel like I love him though!  At least it seems like I love him even more than Luke!

 

Entry 517

September 18th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I LOVE SAMUEL JOHN BARTLETT!!!  At least I think John is his middle name…

 

Entry 518

September 19th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Hey today I went to the dance and then I went to Red’s afterwards.  I didn’t get home until like 11:30 pm.  I was so tired though, I went straight to sleep.  Samuel didn’t come to the dance, which totally sucked, it’s okay though.  Andy and Jessica broke up, which I can’t believe!

 

Entry 519

September 20th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Hey Mary called me and said she’s in town today.  She said she is at her sister’s friend’s house because her sister came down for her friend’s b-day party.  So Mary decided to come with her, but I haven’t talked to her except for that one time.  She didn’t call Amy, and Amy went on her first date with Ray.

September 22nd, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Hey how ya doin?  Anyways, I had a really good day today!!  Samuel called me and we talked for while, but he was at work so he couldn’t talk for very long.  His Dad owns Pizza Villa (a restaurant) and that is where he works).  I just wish he would ask me out already.

 

Entry 521

September 23rd, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Today went really awful, because half of the people at school think that I go out, or am going to go out with Samuel because of Iris’s big mouth!  So now if Samuel was planning to ask me out, he probably won’t now!  Plus I get the feeling that Samuel may have been leading me on this whole time, which he better not have, because if so he will so regret it!

 

Entry 522

September 24th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I went to church tonight, and hardly anyone was there.  I was the only one in our youth class, so DeWayne called Dan and Christy and so they came and that was about it.

 

Entry 523

September 25th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            Amy invited me to go to Red’s with her tomorrow night, but I dunno if I’m gonna go or not.  I realized that I don’t like Samuel that much anymore, I mean I really think he was leading me on all this time, that’s why I’m kinda mad at him.

 

Entry 524

September 26th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I decided to go to Red’s with Amy tonight, and Carol, and Ray and then there were also some other people that I didn’t know all that well that came with us who were, Rebecca, Melissa, Ginger, and Emily.  Rebecca and I met each other through Mary, and we have talked on and off since then.  Ginger is one of Rebecca friends, and Emily is one of Amy’s friends, and I had met Melissa last Friday at Red’s.  I had a fun time though, things like that are always fun when you have a lot of people, at least in my opinion it is.

 

Entry 525

September 27th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I found out today that my dog, Maggie was hit by a car, she is okay though, but it just sort of scared me!  We brought her inside and gave her a bath, and decided to keep her in tonight.  I started to cry a little because I started to think about how much I’d miss her if she had died.  She acted like she was sort of in shock, like kind of not all there, but now she is pretty much back to normal.  I am just happy she is alive!!

 

Entry 526

September 28th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            We didn’t go to church this morning because my Mom and Dad were supposed to go to some big Gun Show in Atlanta and they were going to stay over night, but they decided not to go at the last minute.  So my Mom didn’t feel like going since she had already gotten a substitute for her Sunday School Class.

 

Entry 527

September 29th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            When I got home today, I decided to look for my Mom’s old diary.  I eventually found it and I might read it, and I think I might want to use it for my diary when I get done writing in this one.  Plus in my Mom’s I will have more room to write.

 

Entry 528

September 30th, 1997

Dear Diary,

            I talked to Mary today, my best buddy in the world!  Her birthday is in October and she always celebrates it on Halloween so she’s gonna have a costume party on a Friday and invited Amy, Alexander, and I.  She also might invite Dustin (her supposed boyfriend) because she thinks he may be playing her, so she might break up with him.
