Retro Blog #1

I recently found my old diary from 1993-2004. I've decided to make a series on my blog with excerpts from the masterpiece of my childhood. All I have to say is that not much has changed since '93. Some names have been changed (to protect the innocent...okay, me.)

This early entry, from October 16, 1993, shows my cold heartedness and cruelty at the ripe old age of 7.

Dear Diary,

I'm going to be a pirate For Halloween. My sister has the chicken pox. I hope I do not get the Chicken Pox. I hope My Brother gets it. I WANT TO GET CANDY!

Love,

Kelly

Another one, from June 10, 1994 shows how boy-crazy I was, even at a young age.

Dear Diary,

Today I rented Jaws (side note: who lets an 8 year old watch Jaws? And read the book? With the sex scenes and the F word??). I watched it twice. Last week I got out of school I have a boyfriend his name is Jeff. Today my aunt was here. We did a project. My boyfriend live's in Vermont. (Note: you may think this is a fake boyfriend, like the nerd in high school whose girlfriend lives in Canada...but Jeff was real. He did not know he was my boyfriend...but in my head, he was all mine!)

This trend continued through fifth grade, when I harassed the shyest boy in my class. I seriously wonder if I inflicted damage on that poor child. No wonder he's in the Army now; he's probably still trying to escape me.

Dear Diary,

I sort of have a boyfriend: George Glass (not his real name). He likes me a little and I like him a lot! It's true love! (Every letter or punctuation that required dots was dotted with hearts. My God). I made up a song about George. It is to the tune of Amazing Grace but is like Amazing George. My friends make me sing it all the time. It is so funny.

George and I are going to the carnival next week. I can't wait! This will be my first date. George and I will go on the rides and play games. We're even going to share cotton candy!

I love George!

Love,

Kelly
