Dear Diary...

Alright, I promised you some childhood diary entries, so here are some of the best ones I could find.

I believe these were written when I was in 4th grade (1986). They are presented in original form (i.e. grammar, spelling, etc.)

January 5 - Today is a school day Yuk! Well it is probably not going to be so bad after all. It wasn't so bad. I have a nice teacher sort of. Well I am having a nice year now. School is not so bad. I am having a wonderful time.

I'll take indecisive for 600, Alex!

January 15 - Dear Diary, I went to school and had a good day exept for one little part of music class messed me up! The teacher asked us to write our schelue of the day on a sheet of paper. Now do you really think thats part of music class? The rest of the day was probably uh...fair I'd say. I usually have good days at school.

These entries are from 1991 when I was in the 8th grade:

(This entry is from our trip to to Washington DC for my uncle's inauguration into the U.S. House of Respresentatives)

January 3 - Today we went for donuts at Uncle C's office. There were all these hicks that voted for Uncle C there too. They just got in the way. We watched Uncle C get sworn in. For supper we went to Hogate's. By the time I got my hamburger, I was ready to barf. But it was good. After supper, we went to the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Wall.

I can't believe I wrote that about my uncle's constituents! That's really embarrassing!

February 15 - Today, Mrs. H (my science teacher) embarrassed me and Chris (guy who sat beside me who I had a crush on). I also asked him if he was going to the dance. He's not, he is going to a hornet's game (Charlotte Hornet's NBA team). I would love to dance w/him. Not anybody great was at the dance. I had fun. After it, we went to Susan's house.

February 22 - I'm bored with school except for 6th period because Chris is in there.

March 4 - Today was an ok day. I had a bad headache. Nothing much went on today. I always look forward to 6th period. Chris H. is in there. He is so fine!!!!!! (actual number of exclamation points) I just look into his eyes and about die of overwhelmness. Tell you more about him tomorrow. Talk to you tomorrow. Chow.

Then, there are no more entries. In case you were wondering, things didn't work out with Chris. He was a really nice guy though. I love how I made up a new word - overwhelmness. Pretty creative. Well, there you have it. I'm sure I just bored you to tears. I live such an exciting life, what can I say?
