The party was great. I had the best time! So did everyone else.

I’m not doing well. All I can think about is Steve. Steve this, Steve that. Last night I dreamed of Steve. Every night I wish Steve would call. At my party yesterday everyone was talking ‘bout Steve. For about five minutes.

Only three people came! Everyone else was out of town or busy. The party was great. I had the best time! So did everyone else. We went swimming, danced and pigged out. It was a blast!

Tomorrow I’m getting my teeth out. Blech. I wish I’d get braces. You know what I mean. I want straight teeth! Continue Reading

I hate Sandy so much, and maybe now she will be nicer to me.

I don’t know what it is. I’m using green pen! Maybe it’s the light.

Steve is fine. I can’t believe the guy Sandy likes, likes me! I hate Sandy so much, and maybe now she will be nicer to me. Or not. I miss Becky. Sandy could get the rest of the popular group to actually stop bugging me! How Cool! Then again she could get them to start bugging me even more! Then again she could get them to start bugging me even more! Then I wish I could go up to them and say: “Get off my back.” Real firm like. Of course I couldn’t. Maybe I could get Steve on them.

Catcha Later! Continue Reading

I keep wishing that Steve would give me a dedication on Wild 107.7.

Wonderful!  I am writing with the 10-color pen Sara gave me!  It’s cool.  You know what Becky said?  Sandy likes Steve!  She is one of my lifelong enemies!  Sandy likes the guy that likes me!  I hope Steve asks me out.  That way I have the guy Sandy wants.  How cool!  I’m not trying to be mean or anything but she was so mean to me!  I think we will be even!  I swear that’s so cool!  Sandy will finally admire me.  I hope!

My birthday party is on Saturday.  2 people already can’t come!  It’s horrible.

Later on:  I keep wishing that Steve would give me a dedication on Wild 107.7.  It’s so crazy, I know your:….I forgot.  Steve is cute.  I mean really cute.  I think he’s fine.  But I’m not really in love or anything, but having him want to ask me out made me like him.  It’s cookoo I know, but I don’t care.

In one hour I will be 12!  I LOVE MY LIFE!!!  I swear it!  I’m 12 (almost).  My room is clean.  My closet is organized.  My parents are wonderful.  I have the cutest sister in the world, who just gave me a $25 poster that I have been wanting forever!  My parents are giving me a $97 phone (I hope!)

I LOVE MY LIFE!!!  The only thing that’s wrong with it is that my best friend isn’t here to share it with me.  And that Steve isn’t my boyfriend! yet!  I am working on it.  Okay, so I’m not, but I will be!  This whole entry must sound corny but it’s how I feel! Continue Reading

I wish Steve would call tonight. I wouldn’t mind. Even if he wakes me up!

2 more days!  I am not really excited about being twelve.  The only thing that is happening is my phone.  And my party.  I’m going to have a movie party.  We will see “Coneheads”, come back and have pizza, not a big deal.

My present from Mom and Dad is the phone.  Nothing else.  Sara is giving me the poster from the Nature Co.  It’s of a underwater scene.

We haven’t gotten the phone bill yet, so how much I spent talking to Becky.  I hope it was reasonable.

Tomorrow we are going to copy the invitations, which I made myself, Thank you!  And mail them.  They will be late but, Oh well!  My party’s on Saturday.  This Saturday.

I wish Becky was here when I’m bored.  I have to be bored.  I can’t be bored on the phone with her, it sucks!

I wish Steve would call tonight.  I wouldn’t mind.  Even if he wakes me up!  I really like him.  He’s cute, he’s popular, he’s funny, he’s very popular and he’s nice.  What isn’t there to like?

TAA! Continue Reading

I don’t like Andy anymore. Now I like Steve. Cool. He’s cute, popular. I was about to say he’s smart. Well he might be.

I don’t like Andy anymore.  Now I like Steve.  Cool.  He’s cute, popular.  I was about to say he’s smart.  Well he might be.  I hope he doesn’t do to me what he did to Sarah T.  He asked her out and a couple minutes later he dumped her.

For my birthday I’m getting a phone.  Then Becky’s phone can be given to Erica!  I think I’ll get the Swatch Twin Phone.  It’s cool but its $97!  I don’t think Mom and Dad are going to spring for it.  Unless we get the money.  And then were moving to Arkansas.  Blech!  Hell! Continue Reading

Okay so I didn’t write the next day.  I don’t want to bore you with the details of the trip anyway.  Let’s just say it sucked.

In three days I’m 12, and I HAVE A COLD SORE!  It’s Hell!

I just have to hope I don’t see Steve!  What if then he wouldn’t want to go out with me?  How horrible!

Catcha later.

I can tell you Mom and Dad weren’t too happy about my getting phone calls at midnight.

It’s about 1 am. An hour ago I got a phone call.
Me: “Hello?”
Answer: “Hi, may I speak to Jennifer please?” The voice was male
Me: “Speaking”
Male voice: “Hi, uh this is Steve’s cousin.”
Me: “uh, hi”
Background: “I didn’t tell you to say who, you idiot!”
Male voice: “Uh, someone likes you…..Jennifer?”
Me: “Yeah”
Male voice: “Steve likes you and he want to ask you out on the first day of school.”
Background: “You IDIOT!!”

I don’t remember the rest. I can tell you Mom and Dad weren’t too happy about my getting phone calls at midnight.

Especially when the phone rang two more times. Once from Ana and then from Melissa. You see Steve had called Melissa to get my phone #. Melissa didn’t have it so called Ana. Ana gave it to her and Melissa called Steve back with it.

Near the end of the school year, Steve had asked me out. He was just kidding or so I thought.

I have to tell Erica. I don’t like Steve or at least I don’t think I do. On the phone Melissa said he was cute. I’m not a very good judge of cute. On the phone with Steve’s cousin, I wanted to say that he could ask me out sooner than the first day of school. Of course I didn’t, I’m so nervous.

Let me tell you, on the phone with Steve’s cousin I was sweating like a pig. Continue Reading
