Yesterday we got the new boy in our class and he is majorly ugly. Yesterday my parents said unless we can get a hotel on trade we can't go to Disney World. It makes me soooo very mad but my parents don't want to spend about $5,000 on the trip. Now I think my mom is saying she'll stay home and we'll go--ya like my dad will do that and I bet she knows it. I'm trying to be nice to her because she is almost ready to blow <picture of a stick of dynamite with a sparking, lit fuse here>. uuughhh! Why does life have to be so complicated? My sister just said that if we can't go to D. World can we go somewhere else (I sure hope not, I'd rather not do any thing and save the money for D. World another time)!! Everyone's always so busy. All L does is raise her phone bill by calling D in Oakland, P is breaking up because of Disney World. Dad and Mom are kind of frustrated and I have nothing better to do then write in my diary! Why oh Why oh Why oh Why oh Why oh Why me? Why oh Why oh Why oh Why oh Why oh Why oh Why is life sooooooooo hard!?!? Bye 4 Now!

Disappointment
has got me in his clutches again.
His grip is fierce,
unrelenting.
The probability of escape
uncertain.
An injection will do the trick.
Hope, quick!
Before this heart
crushes from the pressure.

new schools and new boys
I've been meaning to write more. So I thought it might be fun to start a little writing project. I recently unearthed my childhood diary. I tore through the pastel-colored pages in one night. And I noticed one thing: I was as clueless about guys then, as I am now. So here's the plan. I share an entry from my kid musings and try to parallel it with current reflections. Fun, right? Maybe. Could be deeply embarrassing. We'll see. Starting with the first mention of being interested in boys.

I haven't written for a long time. Here's an update. R is 2 1/2 a getting really big and always getting into trouble. L (13) is always on the phone and going through boy crisis. P (9) has a lot of friends but always seems to get her way. I'm going to Cutten School now and am becoming friends with E, S, C, B, & A. Today I had a regular day in 6th grade. We change classes with the three sixth grade teachers: Ms. B, Mr. N, and my teacher Mr. O. But today I had Gate whitch is a gifted education program. I'm going to Disneyworld and I'm SO x-cited. We (my friends listed above) plus B (who's kinda cute) are doing a Dare skit (a Drug Abuse Program) about what can happen if you take Drugs. I want to tell my dad about my skit but he's on the phone. Full House is going to be on in 45 minutes. I LOVE Full House (ok, like it) (a lot). Tomorrow we're going to get a new boy in my class. Hope he's cute! (keep my fingers crossed.) I'm going to try to right in this every day. I know I've said this a lot but I'm going to try to write a lot more and sorry I haven't written in such a long time.

The beauty of the mountains
the song of a bird
a strong cup of coffee
the warmth of the sun
the comfort of a lounge chair.
A morning to rise,
and relax,
and smile.
To be grateful
for all life offers.
I hold out my hands,
allow the bounty to fall,
to embrace it.
My choice is happiness.
No one promised perfection,
no one ensured a charmed life.
So I guess I will take
the good with the bad.
I will rejoice and I will cry,
I will laugh and I will mourn.
And most of the time
I will have a partner,
a companion through the
joy and the sadness.
But sometimes, occasionally,
I will face this life
alone.
My smile will go unseen,
my tear will fall with
no one to wipe it away.
So, whether solitary,
or together,
I will accept this.
I will wrap my arms
tightly around this life.
