disney world and disappointment

January 23, 1992

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.
