The other nite I had a dream about Misty. It made me think so I went and apologized to Brittanie, Ashley, & Misty. Brittanie and Ashley accepted my apology but Misty didn't say whether or not she did so I took it as a "no."

I have my recital in 1 hr & 30 min. So I gotta get ready I will tell about my recital and my dream about Travis and Kyle S. later. Bi I <3 JC, KS, TS

Well, there has been quite a bit going on in my life these past couple of days. Firstly, and most importantly, I only have 5 freakin' days of school left!!!!! Hallelujah!!! If I count the weekend and the Monday I have off, then I have 8 more days left. I really don't think 8 days sounds that bad. 
A couple of nights ago I had this really weird dream. Here goes: one of my friends and I (I don't remember who) were at the Dewald's house. It was their house, but it didn't look like their house. Anyway, my friend and I were talking and I told her that I had a crush on Daryll (which, as you know, I used to). He wasn't in his room, so we went in there. For some freaked out reason, I wanted to smell his pillow and his clothes. So I went over and smelled his pillow, and then I went and opened his closet. I was flipping through his clothes, after I had smelled them and Daryll himself walks into his room. My friend and I were just standing there in pure shock. He, of course, asked what we were doing in his room and even more so, doing in his closet. My friend looked at me and said, "You tell him." So he was like, "Well, what is it?" And so I go, "We were in here because I like you." I don't remember the rest. Too sad isn't it? I wish I could remember because it might have been a really good ending.
Next thing is.....oh I gotta go. Dinner. I will finish tomorrow.

[same text document]
Okay, now I only have 4 freakin' days left of school. I had a dream last night, so, here goes: I was at school. I walked into my math class and my teacher was out in the hall. When I walked in, I had to grab a paper to work on. All the pages were stuck together so it took me a minute to get them apart. While I was getting them apart, Travis S. walks up behind me and he goes, "Hurry, hurry, hurry up!!! Hurry up!!!" and he kept repeating it. So I turned around and I told him to shut-up. He goes, "okay" and then he bends down and kisses me. The whole class goes "OOOOOOO" and I just started laughing. Then Travis asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes. While we were having this conversation, we were walking to our desks. (He sat right beside me) so when I said yes he leaned over again and FRENCH kissed me!!! Oh do I wish that would really happen.
For youth group, Tracy M. and I are doing a scrapbook. We are going to do an info page on everybody. So Tracy and I split up the list of people to call. I was so embarrassed. I had to call the Bendiksen twins, Jackson and Cash, Joseph D., Ethan W., Joey G., and Tim C. I was so freaked out when I called them. Especially Jackson!!!!!
Okay, I'm not trying to brag here but I think three people like me. As in boys like me. As in boys like me, like me. As in boys have a crush on me, like me. Sorry about that. I just had to make sure I got the point across. I think Dillon C. has a crush on me. I think Tim C. has a crush on me. And I think Kyle S. has a crush on me!!! I know it sounds like I am dreaming but I really think they do. And, I would go out with Kyle or Tim if they asked me. I don't think they would though. Well that's about all that is going on in my life these days.

I don't remember what I wrote last so I will start with school on Friday. The day was pretty much a normal day. In science, the drug dogs came. When we got back to class we watched a video. The video was really cool but at the same time really freaky. What happened was: there was this boy that had gone missing and the police searched for 6 years and found his skeleton buried in the boys backyard. There was a lot more detail than that but I had to make a long story short because I have a lot more to talk about.
Then in advisory, we had a yearbook signing party. I got a lot of people to sign it. I chased Travis S., Justin H., and Kyle S. around until I got their signatures. Of course, they didn't want me to sign theirs. Kyle didn't have one so I guess that was why.
On Saturday night, mom dad and I went to Audre's graduation dinner. It was catered by the country skillet. We had fajitas. I met some of Mollie's friends and family. One of her friends named Jessa was really nice. A few of us played tetherball and then a bunch of us went to go play volleyball.
Today in church, Brocke preached his first sermon. It was really good. It made me cry!!!!!
I have only 8 more days of school!!!! The last two days are finals but I have heard that they aren't that bad and I'm sure they aren't. 
On Saturday at 10:30 a.m., I have my recital for piano. I can't wait for it to be over with.
Then on Sunday, the church choir will be singing in church. We have two new songs that are really pretty.
Over the summer I have a lot of plans. I mean I didn't have any and now most of the summer is filled up. On the 9th of June, Grammy and Pop are coming down. Then on the 10th, mom, dad, Grammy, Pop, and I are leaving to go to San Antonio. We will be back on the 13th. The on the 15th of June, I am going with Suzy and her family to Galveston. We will get a pass for $25 that will let us do anything without paying extra. I will be back on a Sunday. Sometime, I will also be going with Suzy and her family to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I am not sure when or how long I will be there. Well that's about it!!

8 MORE DAYZ OF SCOOL!

____________________________________________________________________

Since I have my yearbook from that year, I just went and looked at all the signatures. Each of those guys did actually sign it, but it was no more than their name, except for Jackson. He wrote "Stay cool & smart" and signed his name. I'm sure 12 year old me thought that was the most romantic thing in the world. 

May 12, 2003

Dear Diary - 

I'm writin' this cuz it's a short entry. The only thing I have to say iz this:

After school, Kyle S. kept staring at me! I would look @ him when he wuz lookin' @ me & I would stare him straight in the eye & he wouldn't look away or smile or anything. I dunno wat hiz deal wuz but it made me think. Duz he like me?

Dear Diary-

So much to tell. I will type about five pages if I don't shorten it. So I will use bullets.

• The reading and math TAKS went really well
• The cantata on Wednesday night was awesome
• Audre's graduation party was cool
• I don't remember what night but I had a dream that Travis S. came up to me and said that I was pretty. Then later, Jackson came up and asked me out and I said no. He didn't know why so of course he asked. I was stuttering a little and Travis overheard so he came and said, "She doesn't want to go out with you because of something I said." Then Jackson asked what he said and again I stuttered. So again Travis answered for me. He said, "I told her I thought she was pretty. I knew she liked me because she flirts with me a lot and so I told her that I thought she was pretty and now she wants to go out with me, not you."
• I had another dream that I don't remember clearly but it had flying dillys and I was flying around and Jackson called my name so I went to the ground. He said that he wanted to give me something and then he kissed me. FRENCH kissed me. There was a lot more to that dream but I don't remember.
• Today after church there was a graduation party. Graduates were:
• Audre H.
• Darryl D.
• Joseph D. 
• Joey G.
• Joseph D. [actually different from the other one but relative anonymity!]
• Laura K.
• Amanda W.
• Christina S.
• Sarah D.
• On Sunday, at ZYM, we had a business meeting. After, we, of course, played volleyball. I was actually hitting the ball. Darryl usually hits the ball before I do, if he is in front of me. This time he wasn't paying attention and the ball came to me and I hit it. He said good job and then he would let me hit the ball. I was so happy. I know it sounds stupid but I was.
• Monday I didn't have school and both my parents took off from work. All three of us went to the Katy Mills mall. Mom and I walked around the whole mall and went in like two stores. Then Dad and I went to play this thing called Lunar Golf. It was a lot like Putt-Putt but it had black lights so everything glowed. Then Dad and I went back to the Bass Pro shop and did the trap shoot. I was okay but dad was really good.
• On Wednesday, I had my Pre-AP Language Arts final. We had to read a poem and answer the prompt. The prompt told us to find the literary devices and in the essay describe how the author captured the reader with these literary devices. To me it was easy but a lot of people were saying that it was hard.
• Tomorrow is the Track Meet and I did NOT want to go. Mom couldn't take off. If she could have, she said she would. I didn't want to ask dad because I was sure he would disagree with my staying home. But, to my surprise, he took off!!!! HOORAY!!! So, I don't have to go to the track meet and sit in the Bryan High football field ALL day watch stupid events take place.
• Then I have a new crush. I have a crush on three people right now. Jackson C., Kyle S. and my new one, Scott L. He is like, my best friend but now I am starting to like him as more than a friend. People are saying that he likes me to but I asked him and he said he didn't. He asked me the same question but I said no because if I told the truth I would be totally embarrassed. Maybe he was telling the truth or maybe he was just saying that he didn't like me because he didn't want to be totally embarrassed. I don't know!!!

Buh-Bye

April 28, 2003

Deary Diary-

I have quite a bit to tell you about. I will just start on Saturday.
Saturday- we (mom and I) went to Audre's graduation party. It was a lot of fun. She got interviewed which was hilarious. Then after her party we went to the public library to check out some Dear America books. They are diaries of real people that once lived during a certain time in history. I have read one about slavery, the Alamo, The RMS Titanic, and now I am reading one about the Civil War. They are really good books.
Sunday- First thing in the morning we (me, mom and dad) went to early service and Sunday School. Then I went over to Sarah E.'s house to play. We played Monopoly with Stephanie and then made cookies for ZYM. After that Sarah and I went on the 4-wheeler. Then we rode bikes and just played outside until ZYM. At ZYM, Tim C. was there. We had a good devotion and then went to play volleyball. We practiced forever and then played a game. Tim was on the opposing team and he was hilarious!!! Every time the ball came to him he would either say something or make some sort of noise. I was very happy he was there because he made Daryll laugh!! I have never seen Daryll laugh out loud before but Tim was making Daryll double over with laughter. Then when I got home...Mom got really upset that I had played volleyball for so long. I mean I didn't get home until 9:00. I didn't really care that she was upset. oh well.
Then today, not a whole lot happened. The only good thing was that we actually did something in social studies! But that was it. We did something and the really surprising thing was that Conlee was there and he wasn't messing the class up!
Tomorrow is the math TAKS TEST. I am not nervous about the math. I am good at math so I know that I will do fairly well. Then on Wednesday, I have the reading portion of the TAKS. That is the part I am nervous about. This year because it is TAKS instead of TAAS, it is harder. The teachers aren't saying that but everybody knows that it is harder. I am a little nervous but I am sure that I will do fine. 
Also on Wednesday the choir is singing the Catada to the people who missed it on Easter in the late service. 
That's all. In case you haven't picked this up, I am doing a different color and different font every day. Tomorrow there will be a different color and a different font!!!
Emily
I <3 JC & NM

____________________________________________________________________

New colors AND new fonts?! I was living the crazy life! Also, anyone can look up state testing records as long as you know the student's name, SSN, and date of birth - I know this because I'm a teacher who looks at my student's testing scores several times a year. But, for the sake of curiosity, I pulled up my test records from this year. For math, I received commended performance with a score of 2707 out of 2884, and for reading I also received commended performance with a score of 2400 out of 2817. So my prediction of doing not as well on the reading was indeed accurate, but I still got the highest bracket of scores, so I'll count that as a victory.

Dear Diary-

Today things did not go well with Cassidy. I didn't even talk to her. I was planning on talking to her on AOL but she wasn't online. She isn't online tonight either. I mean she might be and she just isn't using a screen name that I have from her. I know this sounds weird but it seems like a lot of people at school don't like me. I mean, in advisory, Juana came up to me and said, "Are you friends with Dulce? I mean do you talk to her?" I said yeah, I do. Then she goes, "Well me and Alex found a note from you to another girl and it had bad stuff written on it about it." I said, "Juana, I never said anything bad about Candy. She talked to me in Social Studies and she believes me that I didn't say anything about her." (Candy did come up to me and ask me about it and I told her what I told Juana. And she did believe me.) So I don't know what's going on but I WILL find out sooner or later (hopefully sooner). Well that's all I've got to say.

April 23, 2003

Dear Diary-

Not a whole lot happened today. The big thing for me was what happened at lunch. I saw Cassidy and Ashley P. talking to each other. Cassidy handed Ashley a note. When Ashley got in line,s he got in front of me because that was where Brittanie was. I looked over Ashley's shoulder and saw that the note was written in green ink. On the front it said, "2: cassidy x: Emily." I couldn't believe it. I knew which note that was because I always write social studies notes in green. (I have a certain color for each class) So, Ashley let Brittanie read it of course. Then they started whispering and looking at me. I don't care what they say about me. I have said many ruse things about them and they are just little brats who are wanna-be preps. Ashley already thinks she's a prep because she is friends with all the popular popular people. Like she is friends with Lizzy, Heather, Tyler, Taylor, Trevor and a whole bunch of other people. I am mad at Cassidy because she let Ashley ready it. She knew I didn't want Ashley to see it. I don't know what's going on but I WILL find out. I am going to find out from Cassidy tonight because I will talk to her on aol tonight.

Then a good thing was that Monica was being really nice to me. She was asking me all sorts of questions and it was like everything between us was cool again. The reason we weren't really friends was because last year a rumor went around about her and she thought I started it. I didn't start it. I just repeated it, which is as bad as starting it. I won't go into any detail because it makes me sick just to think about it. I will keep you posted about the whole Cassidy and Ashley thing. 
Well I think that's about it.
Talk to you later I guess. By the way, I really think that this typing thing. I will write a few handwritten entries that are short. But on long entries like this, typing is best for me because it doesn't take very long.

Deary Diary-
Not a lot happened today. This morning before school, these two girls got in a fight. One of them started to punch and kick Mr. Caperton. That was not very smart.
Last night I had this really weird dream. Here goes. A bunch of the youth group members were at this place (I don't know where) and the whole M. family was there. Nathan walked out and he had cut himself. He said that he was going to turn himself into a statue because of it. Tracy went over to him and begged him not to but he started to scream at her. Everybody was outside by this time and the majority of them were crying, including me. I was going to ask him to stop, but after I saw what he did to Tracy, I decided not to. So since we thought he was really going to do it, we all packed up our stuff, getting ready to leave. When we came outside again, there was a huge statue, but it didn't look anything like Nathan. We all left and went to the family center at the church. We started to play games and most of us were still crying about Nathan. I was talking to Sarah E. on the phone and I was telling her about Nathan and of course I was crying. Then I felt somebody come up behind me and put their hands on my shoulders. I turned around and it was Nathan!!!! I told Sarah good-bye and turned around and hugged him. I asked him what he was doing here and he said, "You didn't really think I would turn myself into a statue did you?" I said nobody knows with him. (this whole time we were holding hands) then I gave him another big hug and told him not to ever scare us again. Then he kissed me. It wasn't a french kiss; it was just a kiss on the lips. Then my alarm went off and that was the end of my dream!!!

April 21, 2003

Dear Diary-

I am sick of writing so I have decided to type my entries and paste them in.

First thing- the Seder dinner. It went really well but the food was gross!! especially the parsley. we had lamb, unleavened bread, olives, nuts, a radish, horseradish sauce, a roasted egg, parsley and celery. Then we had grape juice to drink instead of wine.

Second thing- Sunrise service. Youth group did a skit in the sunrise Easter Service to a song called "Watch the Lamb". the song was beautiful. and i think we did well on the skit. It was about when Jesus and the two thieves walked through when Jesus was crucified. Daryll, who played Simon Peter, was also there because he was there to watch Jesus die. I was really excited because I got to be close to Daryll!!!! and I know this sounds strange but he either wears good cologne or he just naturally smells good. I don't think he wears cologne.

Third thing- Easter cantada. The choir did really well. In late service it was packed. the majority of the people were not regular church members because most of the church members probably went to early service. I was very proud of myself because I was not nervous at all being up in front of a full church. It was most likely because I was not up there alone and i didn't have a solo or a speaking part. I didn't have a speaking part but i wasn't saying it all alone.

fourth thing- Easter at Amy's. We had Easter at Amy's house after church. Habibs family was there. Amnah and Zara were there to. Then Suzy and I decided that I would spend the night at her house so i did. today, we were going to see Holes, but Mary-Beth K. was coming too. I don't really like her and i don't like being with Suzys friends because I get left out. So I called my mom and told her that I wanted to come home. Suzy and amy think that I had "stuff" to do because I didn't want to hurt their feelings.

Fifth thing- that was all of the big events but one thing is that when we were practicing for the skit for early service, Jackson and i stood next to eachother and we were having so much fun practicing because he kept making me laugh.

Sixth- At the Seder, Sarah E. was sitting in between Cash and I. when they said we should eat the meal, I dared cash to eat the radish. So he did and his face turned really red. I was laughing uncontrollably. Then I let out a squeak. I was trying to laugh silently because it was fairly quiet during the meal. We (me cash and sarah) were having alot of fun!!!

Well I think that's it!

April 11, 2003

Sry I haven't written in so long. NM has happened.

4. Scott L. (2)
5. Travis S. (3)
6. John K. (8)
7. Daryll D. (7)

The annual "Night to Remember" went well. I won't exaggerate b/c I have other things 2 say

At ZYM tonight we played volleyball. I couldn't hit the ball. The 2nd game we played we lost. Brock was serving & it was the winning point for them. He looked at me, & served the ball. Of course I didn't hit it. I said I'm sorry & Darryl said, "That's a great way to lose. Just standing there." Then he started laughing. Brock said, "That was a GREAT victory." He hit it at me b/c he knew I would miss it. I felt terrible and Daryll really made me mad. I know he didn't want me to take it personally (at least I hope I know that) but whether or not he meant it, it hurt my feelings. A couple of serves B4 that I actually hit it, but it went to the parking lot. Daryll said something along the lines of "Great place to hit it. the Parking Lot." Robby S. said something fairly rude but I don't remember. B4 2nite, I kinda liked Daryll but now I don't. 
Nathan is really nice. I hit the ball & it went out. He said, "It's o.k. at least you hit a piece of it. It was in but it was out of my reach." He was behind me & that's why he said it was out of his reach. Well I am really tired.

Early Sunday Morning

Yesterday ZYM was supposed to host the KFC's out @ the Dittfurth's house. We were going to have a hayride, roast marsh-mallows, make s'mores & eat hotdogs & hamburgers. It rained so it got cancelled. We R going to early church so I have to get ready. If I have more time then I'll write about something else I want to write about.

I <3 JC, KS



Sunday Night

I just got back from Caedmon's Call/Jars of Clay concert. We (Mrs. Dawn, Kelsey, Daryll & I) left early. Kelsey & I were being quiet so Mrs. Dawn started 2 tell us about angels. Daryll said, "Aren't there fighting angels." Mrs. Dawn said no and had some explanation. Then Daryll said, "Yeah, but the big, mean, nasty ones fight." Kelsey & I cracked up. They didn't think it was funny so we tried 2 keep quiet.

I was already nervous being in the car w/ Daryll.

The other thing I was going 2 talk about was a letter I'm going 2 write 2 Tim about going 2 the dance with me. This is what it would say.

Tim,

I know you probably think this is weird that I'm writing u a note. You're probably reading this out loud to your friends. I hope by the end of this, u won't. I'm going 2 ask u something I've asked u 2 times B4. You gave me an answer that I didn't want. The 1st time I asked u 2 the dance I WANTED you 2 say no. Plus, it was a dare. The 2nd time it was my idea but I didn't really mean it. This time, I really mean it & I want u to say yes. If u say no because u don't want to or can't go 2 the dance I'll B a little ↑set. If you say no just because I'll be upset. If u say No b/c of me, I'll be REALLY upset. The third time I ask you, I really want u 2 say yes cuz I really like you. No offense but I don't have a crush on u. I just want 2 go 2 the dance as friends. So I ask you 4 the 3rd time...

Will you go to the dance with me? If you want 2 call me, my number is ###-####. If you want to put a note in my locker, my number is 772. Emily K. Record

New Entry.

2day when mom & I were coming home we saw the cutest little puppy running alongside highway 21 going back & forth! We pulled over & tried to find the owner. We put a note on the door of the house of the ppl we thought owned the dog. Then we brought the dog home. My dad totally freaked and he yelled, "Y'all go put that dog back where it came from or put it in my truck & I'll put it on the highway cuz it's NOT staying here!"

• I cried cuz I was upset
• we took the dog back 2 it's house & put up a barricade so it couldn't get out

In my last entry I was telling you about the Trading Spaces thing that we did. It ended up looking really good. On Friday, the 14, Sarah E. spent the night & then on Saturday we went to her house to play.
Today we (mom & I) went to Jessie H.'s B-day party. We were only there for 1 hr & 15 min. 
Tommorrow I have to go back to school! because Spring break is over.
This Saturday the ZYMers are hosting the KFCers @ the Dittfurths house. We are going to have a hayride and roast hotdogs, hamburger, and marshmallows. The hotdogs and hamburgers are for dinner, obviously and the marshmallows are for s'mores.
Next Sunday, ZYM isgoing to a Caedmon's Call concert featuring Jars of Clay.
Then, a week from Saturday, we are having our annual "Night to Remember." We changed the name from "Sweetheart Dinner" to "A Night to Remember." Too many people were coming that weren't "sweethearts". We changed the date because Bryan High's "Sadie Hawkins" dance would always interfere with the "Sweetheart Dinner."
On the 17th of April, ZYM is going to be serving the "Seder Dinner". It will be like the meals that the Jews had when Easter was coming. I don't know a lot about the Seder Dinner so I won't go into very much detail about it.
I'm getting tired. G2G.

Dear Diary - 
I'm not gonna finish my last entry. Today was the Winter Dance. I didn't dance with any guys. I almost danced with La'Quon. I got too nervous though. After the dance, I was going to call my mom. Dillion    ?     came up to me and said, "You know, I was gonna ask you to dance tonight. I said, "Seriously?" Dillon said, "Ya. Seriously." No lie! Now Dillon kept following me I was about to call my mom and he said, "Maybe at the next dance?" As he turned I said, "Yeah. Maybe."
I know it sounds stupid but I think he really likes ME! But I don't really like him.

It's 6:20am right now and I don't usually write this early but I had a kinda cool dream last night.
I was having my b-day party and EVERYBODY was there. Of course they were all my age. We were sitting in bleachers that were in my front yard. I got out to go get some snacks.
I don't really remember what the order was. I just know it happened. 
I was followed by Sarah E. She, for some reason, was going to Rayburn instead of Allen. We saw David B. head towards my house but before he got there he laid down in the grass.
Then Amanda C. walked in with this girl I recognized but didn't know her name. I looked at Amanda and said, "Ah. Y'all finally figured out where the good food is. Oh and uh, welcome to my house."
The other girl just said thanks but Amanda was surprised. The stairs were right next to the kitchen so I told them to go upstairs and see my room if they wanted. I followed them as they walked to my playroom. I turned the lights on and they were amazed. At this point Carrie B. walked upstairs. 
I'll have to finish later. I still have to get ready. Bye.
Emily.

End of Diary Bonus

Another diary complete. In this one, I decided to write in MASSIVE handwriting, so it filled up pretty quickly. On the inside of the back cover was the word "DONE" splayed across the whole page, but on the inside of the back cover was this: 

CRUSH LIST

Jackson C (crush)

Timothy C (crush)

Kyle S. (crush)

Cameron K (both wayz)

Travis S (both wayz)

[still inside cover] I know it's bad to not know who I have a crush on but I really can't helping it. Even though it sounds worse to say I have a crush on 5 guys. Even if I am only for sure about 3. Also at church I'm gonna ask JC to copy an angel 4 me don't know y but I am BYE

Dear Diary - 

Today was Valentines Day. As you know, we got carnations. I got one from a teacher but I don't know which one. After school, Jackson had three carnations. I know 1 was from me. I don't know if he knows though. Juana said she told him but she lies frequently. I am going to ask Jackson on Sunday if he knew who his carnations were from. If he does I'll ask who. I also sent a carnation to Andrew A. I don't know if he got it. I didn't see Andrew after school today so I don't know if he was even here. I don't think Cash got one but I didn't see him. I feel sorry for him if he didn't b/c everybody likes Jackson. I don't know anybody who has a crush on him. Also, I wanted to know if Timothy C. got one. I was going to send him one but for some reason I didn't. I know Kyle S. didn't get one. I saw him after school. He was staring at me! I think. 

Bye Emily I <3 JC, KS, & TC!

Dear Diary - 

I just took off my hot pink finger nail polish and it's all gone but my cuticuls look like crap.

NEVER EVER USE PINK FINGERNAIL POLISH

Well that's all BYE

It's almost 9:00 at night b/c I just got home. I am going to join the choir @ church. Right now I am working on the Easter Contata. I am really liking it and I found out that I am a high soprano! Apparently I can sing fairly high. In 1 song we have to hit a high E and I had no problem doing so. Well that's all I have to say.

Bye.
Emily.

Oh, pubescent Emily, of course you're a soprano. Wait until you get older and you embrace your true alto-ness (alto's are better anyway).

"really cool guy" and "on AOL" are two phrases that a 12 year old should not be saying together. Why weren't you supervising me, Mom?! (Just kidding. Only because I didn't get kidnapped and murdered.)

Today was sad to me because Colton W. is moving. Today was his last day! He's leaving tomorrow morning. His mom got married and he and rest of his family are moving all the way to South Carolina! And they aren't ever coming back!
