So, for some reason you care or at least are mildly curious about what is happening in my life. Well. That is a start. I'm not sure what sort of a start it is, but it is a start.
A NIGHT IN WHICH I SHOULD VERY MUCH BE ASLEEP 10-18-00
Jeff did really come into my life, August 3. I didn't know it fully then, my last entry, but I do now. He's a very pleasent firefighter man. I love him.
THE BURNING FIRE OF MY LIFE, AUGUST 4, 2000
well, my job IS a wildland firefighter. I just returned from the Oroville fire, worked just about two weeks on it, met some really great people....:) I enjoy my job, I enjoy my life particuarly well the last three days or so, I enjoy just about everything, and I must go fold laundry.

RESOLUTIONS FOR A NEW LEAF, APRIL 28, 2000
Ah, the glorys of college life. My nails are a rich orangish red, my hair is wet and hanging onto my blue sheep shoulders. My eye makeup is all washed off, and my pink leapordprint dress is again hanging in the closet after its first Denny's run. Linguistics is studied up, my vowels are ready to be excersised. All in all, a fine morning, abit very early morning. I have a few resolutions to my life. First and formost, I shall cease to speak of my third boyfriend except in extreme circumstances. I.e. someone asks me about him. Secondly, I resolve to smile at my crush, and forget to act shy around guys. More than anything, I value male friendship, despite the finest of female friendship that I currently enjoy. And last of all, I resolve to fall asleep for five hours, despite the four cups of coffee I have had tonight, and wake up refreshed in the morning for a rousing linguistics test at 10 AM. Good night/morning, all.

FIRST DAY OF MY FINAL FRESHMAN QUARTER, MARCH 28.
Well, life is going well. I am on the honor roll for my grades last quarter, and that makes me very happy. That's about all. I got my books cheaper than usual, so that's fun. Saw my aunt. Good day!
FINALS WEEK, MARCH 15, 2000
Well, it is the second finals week of my college career, and it is a nicish day outside, I am in a good, fine, excellent mood, and I think today shall be grand. I am no longer a 'couple' but flying solo again, which is nice sometimes, annoying at others. I'm registered for some pretty cool classes next quarter, planning a road trip next week with my friend Kristi, and just thinking that I am enjoying myself emensely. I hope things are going well for others as well. Take care.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, 1999!
Hello, my dears. This is me, on Christmas Day, writing to tell you of my latest exploits. I am wearing exactly the same outfit as the last time I wrote. I shall be wandering up to my cozy room soon, to read old diaries and enjoy a peaceful Christmas evening. The stars outside are clear and beautiful, the moon a delicasy in extreme. I am not being very creative in my attempt at poetry, but it is what I feel, so who really cares? I love all life this evening. Even my own.

MY LIFE AS OF THE 4 OF NOVEMBER
It has been a really long time since I wrote, so I wanted to update. I am now a student at Western Washington University, and studying like a freak to pass classes I thought would somehow just 'come to me.' I have a boyfriend by the name of Ben Edwards, who is tall, handsome, and talented. I am quite pleased with my life as of current. I am wearing my green unionbay jeans and my umber 3/4 length sleeve shirt, with my rye bread colored socks, and in my dorm room.

ON THE 20TH OF JULY
I would like everyone to know that my intution was correct, and I was visited by my friend Justin on the night of July 18, 1999.
Today is a lovely day, I feel lovely, and the world is a grand place to be. My hair is wonderful and smooth, the silver necklace my neighbors gave me for Christmas is wonderfully shiny around my neck, and it is just a good day to be alive. Tomorrow I shall go 'out town' again, and watch yet another movie. I seem to do a lot of that, lately. And also, my days are filled, almost every last one of them, with something interesting or fun to do. I am very happy.
That is all I have to say, really. Au demain;

THE 18TH o' JULY
Well, its almost 5 o'clock, and it has been a mildly strange day. I am awaiting the arrival of someone, though I'm not sure why. No one has told me that he/she would visit today, yet I feel sure someone will soon.
I took my Brisa horse on a ride today. She was not at all happy to be leaving her pasture. I had a massive fight with her about crossing the creek. Almost an hour long, and very very violent. Well, not too much so. I whaloped her on the butt with a rope and a whip a number of times, she backed up for a long time, tossed her head, tried to step on me by sidestepping. Finally I gave up on one approach and went at it by jumping up onto her. Mind, I had only a halter and lead on her, and the lead was only clipped, not tied so that it was like reins. So my mom was suddenly scared that I would kill myself as I prodded and clicked at her to move. I could use the side with the leadrope fairly well, but when she turned towards the lead, I had to lean all the way onto her neck and grab her halter. It was kinda fun, a challenge. Anyway, that didn't end up working either, and so in the end, I sent her halfway across, and dad walked halfway and lead her the other half. I was very grouchy about it all.
But we had a nice ride. Only one wee fight about trotting down hills and eating while on the move. Standard, we both know that I win, so niether of us put too much effort into it.
And then I went and sat by the creek after my shower and tried to capture the beauty of water with colored pencils and my hands. It didn't work well, but I enjoyed my time down by the creek. It is extremely beautiful and peaceful.
I will go now, and know that my life is well in hand.

A SATURDAY CALLED JULY 10TH
Something is wrong with my lifestyle, the space-time continuum, or something. The last two days, the phone has awakened me. In the last week, the phone has awaken me 3 times. What is this about? A cosmic joke to make me forget my dreams? This morning I was quite happily dreaming about a HUGE Tv company telling me I won a contest, and that they were giving me $2000 and airing my story in play form. It was really cool.
There was something else I was going to whine about. I can't remember what it was. Anyway, I have to work today, so have fun, all yous out there;

JULY 6TH
Its just a day, you know, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Its too much the same without any links but the weather. But the weather is marvelous, so I don't know if I can complain about it. I am just sad.
But for the little saddness, it still should be a lovely day. Take a nap on the porch later, perhaps. This day reminds me of Almunecar, on the 9th of April. A lovely day, there, as well. I dream myself there now. Today I sit here in my horse covered longshirt, my hair drying oh-so-nicely...and I need to go get dressed.
Until later; Amy
THE FIRST DAY OF JULY
So, I haven't written in a while. My life has been busy. To the point, I finished my book, graduated, and turned 18. So, now I am throughly changed, and you may guess to what I may have changed. Not a beast, that much you know. Moonlight doesn't have the effect on me.
I am in a very strange, fey mood. My hair is half-dry, hanging fully to my shoulders now. My tee-shirt is a iron blue, my shorts those of a soccer player, though I am not. I should be doing something else, but I care not. I shall write here.
I have nothing else to say. I have added new poems today. Read them. It is good exersise for your eyes, if you don't grasp the intent. Worry, not, for if you don't understand them, you are in no danger. Perhaps you are more in danger if you do understand them.
I will go now.

THE LAST DAY OF MAY
I was reading some of my diary entries from this past year, and there are a number of them that amuse me. I write the oddest things off the top of my head, and I like to read them later, because they make me laugh. I write them in complete earnesty, though, which makes them even funnier.
Well, its been a while again. 28 days. Hm. Well, I went to my senior prom, and had a great time dancing with freinds and just having fun. I hadn't expected to have fun, so it was even better. The following week was kind of a good-bye to Mother's tea. That was just plain weird. As far as I know, my mom won't ever let me say good-bye, so I guess it was just to say good-bye to a time in my life.
I went to Hanford, too. It was really very neat. B Reactor was kind of scary, concidering how different and much less safe it was than the FFTF, and how old it was. And this weekend, I went camping with my horse, and we had a great time. She spooked once at some basic campground noise, but other than that, she was really good. I changed her bit, so she COULD have blown up. But she just got a little ticked, and then settled down, and did a hundred times better than she did with her old d-ring snaffle.
Well, I'm going to go. Wearing the blue pjs again. Write later.

COMPUTERS ARE THE BIGGEST FRICKING WASTE OF TIME EVER INVENTED. OH, YES, ITS MAY 3RD.
Okay, so I just wrote whole, very nice entry to add to this nice and happy website I'm running. Very upbeat, lovely entry. I even added a little music at the end, to the tune of Monday Monday. Wasn't that nice of me. Well, I'm going to add it again, just because I feel throughly ticked off at this stupid computer. Yes, I timed out. I was on here maybe ten minutes, looking at other things while working on this. What a sin. So here. Its Monday all right.
"Monday, monday, sounds good to me. Monday morning, it was all I hoped it would be. And Monday morning, monday morning couldn't guarentee....And Monday evening, you would still be here, with me...."
God, I hate computers. I even wrote what I am wearing, just to keep some sense of continueing. I will again, just because I DO like my pjs. They are a tank top and pants set of light blue with little fleecy white sheep on them. Some people laugh, but I greatly enjoy them. They suit me.
What have I done since I wrote, 37 days ago? Well, I went to Spain a month ago tomorrow. That was wonderful. I really really really really loved Spain. And this week is Prom, the last dance of my not so illustrious high school career. I am a princess, though, so I get to not be invisable. And today I got to see my good freind Catie again, so I am actully in a rather good mood, except this computer is damned annoying. So, anyhow, I am going to copy this whole entry, so if it kicks me off again, I won't have to write something again. Bye.
BUNGLING THROUGH ANOTHER 27TH MARCH DAY
Well, here I am, in my old Levi jeans and bright tie-die tee shirt. And I have matching hued socks, as well. Today I spent three hours sitting on a bench watching basketball that benfites a cancer foundation. It was really neat to watch, because everyone was just out there for fun, and to help people.
Well, mom just told me the ice cream was cooked, so I must go eat it before it melts. I just thought I should update this.
MARCH 3RD, 1999 IS/WAS A BLAST
Well, nothing like riding a bus for a long time with people you have no particular liking for. Yet I survived. I wore my Unionbay carpenter jeans and 1994 band shirt today, and my old fav. brown and white socks. I tried the pulling my hair back thing, but since the lights were out when I woke up this morning, I took it out.
Yep, State was great. That is, for us. I had a good time, ran around with my freinds. Played my horn. Had a good time. Barely got through the return ride home. Sigh. "Hey, girl," is rather amusing/annoying from a seventh grader. Ah, well. I'm home now, as you might guess. I recovered from the radio station the bus unfortunatly gets, and now am on a boredom spree.
Well, since this isn't helping....I hope some one had a very good March 3rd, cause I had at least a decent one.

FEBRUARY 21ST, 1999
Due to the daily pressures of leading a teenaged life, I haven't updated this page for quite a while. I want to start off by apoligizing to any and all who have talked to me in the last four days. I've been less than coherent on all accounts, and I'm sorry. I think I'll be returning to what works as normal for me presently.
Today I'm wearing my worn old Unionbay jeans and Blacklightning tee-shirt from seventh grade along with my green and white socks. My hair is pulled back from my slightly swollen face, and I have a little smile on.
In case you weren't aware, I had my wisdom teeth removed on Thursday, and it was rather painful. Today is the first day I've felt like myself since then. It is somewhat nice to return to my own self.
I am going to go be restless now, as I have run out of things to do. Talk to you later, if I know you. If I don't, don't worry about that last comment.

THE THIRD DAY OF THE MONTH OF FEBUARY:
I'm grumpy. The post office played an evil trick on me. They sent my family a pickup notice, and it was just some dumb M&M's thing instead of my CDs. And I so wanted them. I've been waiting over 3 weeks now!
But other than that, I've been having a lovely day. I decided to wear my lucky white and orange socks to school and my happy 1998 State tee shirt. And my brown cords. So I have comfy all day. But it was only a half day, so that was even better!
Well, I learned that I probably will be getting that 4.0 after all on my semester grades. Just lucky, I guess. But I'm certainly not about to complain! Anyhow, that made me stop being blue about my unpleasently low test grades from last Friday.
Ate lunch. Can you imagine? And then we drove over to TT, and we had us some fun. The waitress was really very rude, but we brushed that off and still had a good time. Rachayl and I were champs of the team shot.
And then I came home and was all excited about the package which was not my CDs. Oh, and we stopped and got gas and Joel flipped us off, and we discussed forks, spoons, and ladles.
That's about all, folks, for my day today. Good night.
Amy
THE LOVELY DATE OF JANUARY 28, 1999:
Today is a Thursday. The final Thursday of January, of my final year in high school. Woohoo! Anyhow, though, I thought I should revisit my website to update and stuff, and decided to do a entry for today.
I woke up at average 6:30 this morning, and got dressed. Last night I re arranged my bedroom funiture, so it was an adventure trying to move around in the semi darkness. I found my jeans, however, and my comfy warm brown sweater. Its kinda cold out there.
Drove to school with a minimum of fuss. I got my favorite parking spot, and that was that. Went in and talked to Zee before first hour, and then went to first hour. We read each other's poetry, and it was all grand. During yearbook I just stuck stickers on baby pictures and tried to help keep Corrie sane.
Third, we worked on questions for CWP, fourth I ran a few errands for Mr. C and helped Eva on dervitzing. I had a thing of yogurt and a granola bar for lunch. For my personal amusement, I am sure, Joel had parked his truck in the senior section. A passel of Senior guys went and jacked up it. Apparently the Junior guys took it down before seventh hour. Anyhow, it was funny to watch happen.
Fifth hour we studied for our test tomarrow in Physics. Rotten teacher is giving us a final. Sixth hour Mr. Nelson was flustered with us, and I was irritated at myself. My range is going down, and that's not right. Seventh hour I was amused by my classmates and their antics in trying to study for the test Mr. C is also giving the Chemistry class.
And now I am home, alone, happily. Apparently my CDs still haven't arrived. Grr. But I'm still in a good mood. So there! But I shall now go study for my two tests and find a warm corner to curl into. Good night.
Amy
AHHMM. JANUARY 20, 1999:
Hello. Its Wendsday. I just thought I'd leave a line along for my life. Today I wore my black celtic knot tee shirt and green carpenter pants. I got e-mail from Catie and I think from Monica. I had interesting conversations on the Knowledge Bowl bus, and did fairly well for my team at the meet. And I think tonight I shall read and eat, and enjoy my life...though I wish I could move through this interm of it rather more swiftly. Tomarrow promises to be much, much better.
But until tomarrow, I will endure today. Good night. I am off to endure.
Amy
THE 18TH OF JANUARY:
Today is a good day for sitting on the couch, eating saltine crackers, and reading. I finished reading "Sunderlies Seeking" by Gayle Greeno this afternoon, and it was an extremely good book. To my chargin, I actully cried when it seemed Khar was dying...but luckily Rawn managed to climb the eight spirals to 'speak Kharm and her Bondmate Matty. Kharm was nice, and let Khar live. Beyond that, I talked to Corrie on the phone, had the house to myself for a good long time, did some laundry, and Dad and I are making some bread (cause he forgot to buy some).
And my bones are sore because I went sking last night. But it was beautious skiing....lovely snow.
Well, that is all for this day. Tonight I shall watch "Prince of Egypt" with Corrie. Hope you have a wonderful monday.
Amy
SO WHAT HAPPENED ON THE 16TH?
Well, not a lot. I read my book, I listened to mom's weirdness, and right now I'm watching the Pretender, my favorite (and only) show. Terribly exciting. Yesterday was considerably busier, but that is another story...So until I have total ramble power again, that's all for today.
Happy Saturday!
Amy
THE 14TH OF JANUARY DECLARED HORRIBLY BUSY.
In a haze of tiredness, I write with a inablity to congeal thoughts at all. Today I ran around like a fool. Oh, and for the daily clothing check, I wore a brown fuzzy sweater and my lace-up jeans with no butt pockets. Anyhow, it was pouring down the rain when I got to school. The little half wall they built along side the breezeway out to the band room and other outside places was doing exactly the wrong thing, and trapped a six foot puddle right by the double doors leading outside. Unfortunalty, that was the only way I could get to class at that time. Good thing I can jump, huh?
So I get to first hour, turn in my pantoum poem, and head back to the main building to teach jr. high aliens about equity. Why do they care, do they care? We're not sure, and I'm not sure I care. If I want to preach equity, I think I should know something more about it than a skit. Ah, well, don't judge me by my evening pissyness. Second hour consisted of yearbook hell, chemisty crap, and a wee bit of juicy gossip. I'd hate to go into detail.
So lunch arrives...I got my trascripts for the PEMCO scholorship, got my letter of recommendation from Ms. Meltz, talked to Mr. Talbott, had a productive hallway chat with Corrie...and went back to class at the end. Physics was rather uninteresting, except for the point when I ran around getting signatures from James, Drew, and Fred for the new movement to keep all but physics students out of the lounge. Oh, and Jill commented on my possession of a Rancid cd, which suprised her.
Sixth hour, another bout of teaching Jr. High, this time Mrs. Bender's eigth graders. They were slightly more alive. I tried to get my disk to communicate with Mr. Talbott's computer and failed miserably. I think it was at that time I lost my large enevlope. Seventh hour simply passed, and I'm not sure how, but I'm sure the passing was a blessing.
Well, I decided to stop by the forest service to pick up a job application...and it was good that I did, because the applications must be mailed by tomarrow. So I spent tonight finishing up my Pemco, working on a incomprehesible application (What responablities did you have? Yes or No) and generally being bad mooded. So that was my long and hectic day.
On the plus side, I managed to shot a rubber band at my cat and hit her straight between the eyes THREE times! She was rather startled, to say the least. Any of you who have met Jane can only imagine how high she jumped.
And this completes the 1-14-99 version of my life. Good night.
JANUARY 13TH 1999 WAS MILDLY INTERESTING.
I wore my green carpenter pants and grey school sweater today, in case you care. I also woke up 15 minutes early so I could get to school to talk to Ms. Meltz early. However, it didn't really do me any good, cause I didn't have any desperate questions, and she was busy.
Well, that takes care of the morning. In Physics we all went out to the creek and had a photo shoot with CBLs, rocks and water. That was fun. Band was pep band, and if you know me, you know my low opinion of such nonsense. Chemistry was a quiz and then some more Lewis Dot Structures. Miss Zosia was being highly sarcastic and castic, so there is something rather interesting and rare.
So now I'm home, and I'm adding stuff to my website. Hope you've had a good Wendsday in your respective life. I'm going to go and try to locate mine. Good night.
Amy
AMY'S LIFE IS DULL AS OF JANUARY 12TH 1999.
Today. Well, I woke up at 6:30, per normal. I dressed (red Evergreen State Shirt, green carpenter pants, and brown socks.) and went downstairs. In a haze of early morningness, I spent the next fifteen minutes wandering through happy shower land. At last I emerged back into the cold air of my house and dressed again. Then I ate breakfast, made a lunch, and left. On the way to school I paused to pick up Jean and Rachyal.
Once at school, I got my morning books and walked up to Mr. Delph's room so as to "practice" for K-Bowl. I answered a math question right, and everyone was stunned. They shouldn't have been, it was just a guess.
So, once school was on its happy little way, I found myself adrift. Third hour the navy people were in my class. The black guy had really stunning eyes. A light brown with gorgous eyelashes. I, at least, was impressed. He was funny too.
Blah, blah. Vector like things in Physics, bunches of crap in band. Got Rachel mad at me for talking about the forbidden subject of her need to be a second. Well, I perceive it to be a need, as she really can't play the first music. Ah, well, it doesn't matter. Chemistry was interesting, lots of happy little atoms being created by the Lewis Dot Structures and stuff. And yes, Stephen, I think my horse can beat your motercycle. And at the end of the hour, Seniors got called out of class to get our "keys".
Home ward, full car, mom's car. Stick shift. Great fun, all the lurching and such. Really not so bad, though, Kristi says. I had Kristi, Corrie, Jennie, and Rachyal. A nice car load, all my friends. And hey, all seniors! Mockery of mockery.
Reading books, doing stuff, and working on my URL page. Tonight is a meeting for the spain trip.
If you weren't bored before, you are now. And if you read all that, you have more persistance than I would have ever granted a person to have.
