I've been looking over some old ass diaries I kept in elementary and middle school, and some entries are really amusing to me. Some are as far back as 1st or 2nd grade. I'm glad I kept them. Apparently I attempted to write a rap song:
Written September 30th, 2001
(I was 10)
"Yo, this is a story about a girl named JAN
She went outside, jumped, and RAN
Then a stranger came up and SAID
Yo Wazzup? My name is JED
Then the stranger said JAN
Inside my car is a CAN
of Pringles, will you go GET IT?
FORGET IT
Jan said, you're just trying to
kid-nap-me.
I shouldn't talk to strangers ANYWAY
So Jan ran home, ALL THE WAY."
Next entry:
"Well that was a dumb song, I'm not sure if I should go with rap music."
I'm not sure why I thought the best way to kidnap someone is to bribe them with a can of Pringles. At least I quickly understood that rap was not my thing.
Some of my other really old entries are kinda depressing:
January 7th, 2000 (9 years old)
"Dear Diary,
Today we went to a party and my dad got drunk. When we went home, he destroyed the house and acted like a lion! I prayed had hard as I could and hoped that he would stop."
Other entries show me to be a blossoming young woman:
June 4th, 2001 (age ten)
"Dear Diary,
The boy I like doesn't like me. I found out at pioneer camp. We were going to square dance and he asked Ash to be his partner. I asked him if he liked Ash and he said yes! I couldn't believe it. I was heart broken. I liked him but he liked somebody else. Soon I had many dreams about him night after night. I wished he like me instead of Ashley."
June 26th, 2001 (22 days later)
"Dear Diary,
Yesterday, I got my period! I think it's getting worse. I'm really disgusted and the pads feel like diapers."
And some entries ask really deep, meaningful questions:
October 3rd, 2001 (age ten)
"Dear Diary,
Sometimes I ask myself why I love the show Dragonball Z. It's funny when Goku stuffs his face because it makes me laugh. I like the show because to me it's like real life."
Sometimes I wish Dragonball Z was real life.
