I wish I could do something really rotten to Cate to get even for the way she acts around people. The only problem is, I might get in trouble. I don’t want that to happen.

Today I acted as if I really hated Mark W___. I did, from about the middle of study hall to the end, but after orchestra it was cool pretending to beat up on him with my history book. He is such a nerd!

I’ve still been having dreams and daydreams about Alasdair. Today I taped “You Can’t Do That On Television” and KISSED the T.V. screen when he came on. He’s so cute. I can’t help daydreaming about him. I have a very good daydream too!

Tomorrow night Ally is coming overnight!

Bye

Trent is gorgeous

Alasdair is a hunk

and Mark (entry scratched out) 

I remember meeting Mark W___. I liked him and then I didn’t. Now I do. I think he’s cute. He’s definitely cuter than his brother! Still is cuter than Mark.

I like to talk about Mark. He’s only worn one shirt that a really scuzzy guy might wear. He does have some nice sweaters and shirts and he doesn’t swear THAT much, just a little. Ah, who cares?

I have no idea what Trent is like. He went to Dickey (elementary school), so it’s hard to tell. I hope he’s not like all the other Dickey kids, though. I think his mom* could keep him under control, the way she acts. John could keep him under control too.

Well, gotta run! Trent is gorgeous, Alasdair Gillis is a hunk, and Mark is cute!

Bye!

*(she was my 3rd grade teacher)

Today I watched my dance recital and saw my very best friend Ellie Mae. Just seeing her made me remember how much nicer she was than anyone in my class. She made me remember all the great times we had. I haven’t heard from her in weeks and just seeing her made me cry. I don’t know if I could stand losing a friend like her. I wish she’d come back. I don’t even think she feels the same way about me. I wish she would. If she wants to be or not she’ s my very best friend in the world and I’m happy about it!

I’m still wondering what to send her for Christmas. if she wouldn’t have left I wouldn’t be so hurt!

Oh boy, did ou ever notice how I almost always write terrible problems? Well, I’ve got another one. I don’t want to play my violin in front of some of my relatives. So i hid in my room and pretended I was tuning my violin. I’m STILL in my room. My parents probably hate me, my relatives are probably mad and I feel terrible. I made a tape up of violin songs, but I figure they wont want to hear it. I don’t want to go downstairs ’cause I’ll get it! Especially when the relatives leave. I’ll kep you posted wtih details. I MAY NEVER RETURN! (I said that to cheer me up, well, a little)

LATER:

Well, I’m back and made it through the day without getting a beating. My parents weren’t edgy with me all day, only to my sister. The only problem is my brother threw up! Gross!

Well, I played one song for (great) Grandma T and I was glad.

Bye Bye for now!

Oh Boy maybe Joe’ll change his mind and be crazy over me, and he’ll ask me to go with him! Naw. only in my dreams would he. He’d probably go with someone who doesn’t wear glasses and braces and who talks to him a lot! probably Suzie and she isn’t even pretty. Well, looks aren’t everything, but maybe it is to him. I’m not pretty either.

Bye

I can’t help being boy crazy over Joe. I don’t think you’d call it boy crazy. it’s only one boy. I used to like Mark W____, but forget it now. I can’t believe I ever did though. I’ve liked Joe ever since sixth grade. He smiles at me in the halls and more than he’d ever in sixth grade. he wont ever like me though.

Long time no write! ha ha! Anyway, all’s I ever writ is problems, and they’re mostly about my parents, especially my mom. Well, I’ve got another thing about her to say.

Today I was drying the dishes and my brother picked up a dish I didn’t want him to. I kind of yelled at him ’cause I was a little mad. So my mother goes, “you don’t have to yell, just because you’re mad at someone doesn’t mean you have to take it out on other people.” Well, what really bugs me is the fact that she gets mad at people and takes it out on Jessie, Alex and me. No Fair. I think she should read a book on how to be a “real” mother. Only some of her methods are any good.

—————-

I seriously want to write something that will get published. I’d like to be the first one around here to get something actually published.

Gotta run!

I should have written about the first day of Junior High but I didn’t. I haven’t had time to write but I want to write this:

My best friend moved to _____ and I just got a letter from her. It had been to Texas first! Anyway, I really miss her and I would do anything to bring her back.

Gotta Go!

This summer I went to Florida. It was great. Tell ya more about it on the next two pages.

(Next page)
Did ya hear? I went to Florida! Tell ya about it on the next page.

I am going to Bethany beach too. After thgat I am going to high school! AHHHHH!

Oh no! Not High School! I’m soooooo nervous.

Gotta get goin!

(next page)
florida!! Describe it! Enjoy it! Hurrah! I think I’m gonna cry! Ha! ha!

Florida was great. I liked hanging around Jean and Larry. I loved their condominium or however you spell it.

We also visited their house. It was nice. Jean’s boyfriend was cute.

Disney World was the funnest ever. Too bad I didn’t wear my glasses. I don’t think I did anyway. I lied the Haunted Mansion. It was cool. Gotta leave!

(author note: Wow, and to think I wanted to be a writer!) 

Sorry I didn’t write during our vacation!

I wish my mother would stop being mean and start being a nice decent person. Just when I think she’s going to be nice she gets all hypere again and starts yelling.

JEESH!

I wish she was more like her best friend Karen! And if she thinks she’s treating us like Grandma treated her, grandma doesn’t look like the kind to act like mom does. Its a wonder she’s not beating us to death!

(Soooo dramatic, don’t you think?)
