School is pretty boring but Connie wrote a note today with a lot of cuss words and Mrs Swift found it and she got chewed out big time. Jerry and I talked a lot today. Kerry is going to find out who he likes. Joe might like Connie. Stacey and I are becoming good friends. She’s wild. She’s going out with George. Kim definitely like Doug and Kerry is going with Amy and I also sort of think Kerry is really cute sometime – Big trouble. Then I sort of like Jerry still. Oh, it’s such a mess. Why can’t life be simple?

Okay I can’t decide who I like. I think a lot of guys are cute and good looking but I’m not drooling over anyone. I got Dana and Cam together. I’ve lost some weight. I’m so happy. By next summer, I’ll be gorgeous! (Big Joke) Amy broke up with George and no one could believe it. She then decided she like Kerry and now they are going together. I don’t really see them together. I think I might like Jerry the best. No one is staying with the guys they used to like. Kim now likes Doug. Connie may have a party Friday and Kim’s is next week, I can’t wait. I hope I’m with somebody and it’s not just a make out party.

School is such a drag. I think Doug is back at the top of the list again. If he and I and Kim and Sammy could all get together, it would be perfect. I talked to Sammy at the game the other night and told him to find out who Doug
likes. I also talked to Bob, Tony H, Chris H at the game but Doug was grounded. Friday Dana and I went to the movies and Jerry, Cam , Joe and Robbie were also there. Connie and Bobbi were too but they always hang out with the older guys. Saturday all the girls went to Kings Island which was fun. On the log rides, 4 guys kept staring at Kim, me, Stacey and Shandra. Later they wanted us to ride around with them. We said No Thanks.

My love life is hilarious. I sort of like Bob and Doug. Friday when Kim spent the night Amy called and said she was having a party that night. Jerry (he’s back in my life again) flirted with me and I flirted with him. We also danced so I sort of like him too. Connie is getting everybody mad.

I can’t believe how busy its been. The Family Reunion at Mammouth Cave was a blast. All the adults and some kids were so drunk. We played sharades
and had a talent show. TJ and Berry didn’t go but it was still fun. Stacey and I got Captain of the Patrol and I’m the President of Mrs. Swift’s class. I think I like Bob again. Kim and I are always together now a days, I think she’s spending the night on Friday. I’ve made a schedule for myself, I hope I can follow it.

I went to the Fair and rode rides with Todd J, IV, Penny, Michelle, Eric and just about everyone else. I think Kim and Felicia were getting mad. School starts in less than 5 weeks. I got Mrs Swift for homeroom. So does Connie, Michelle, Dana, Jerry, Joe, Cam, Kerry and George. We beat Springfield again and I made up with Amy. Next week Bobbi is having a slumber party and inviting everyone but Kim. Doug and Sammy have been flirting like crazy at the pool. I think I may like Doug but I’m not sure.

We’ve been dominating at our swim meets. Last night we went to the Club to swim and hang out and Bob was there. I really don’t think I like him but then I see him….Going to the Fair on Wed.
I heard we are going to have coed PE next year which is going to be horrible. We ordered some new school stuff from Hang Ten, I can’t wait till it comes in.

Today was the neighborhood parade and our picnic. I don’t think I like Bob anymore, he’s just not my type. I don’t like anybody! I can’t believe it. Noelle is going out with Chris O’Daniel (good taste). Ann and Carrie hung out all night together and got mad at Harriet and me. Who cares?

IN was fun but Carrie and I fought a lot. Tonight we have another swim meet against Springfield, I hope we win. I’ve met some nice people from there. One guys name was John Simms …really cute. I had Kim over to spend the night and we saw Return of the Jedi. Everbody seems to be getting really mad at each other. I’ll admit I’ve been a bit two faced lately but then so has everyone else. From now on, I’m not going to tell anything to anybody!I got to pick out new frames for my glasses today and I’m thinking about getting my hair layered before school starts. Bob and Billy get back
tomorrow from camp. I wish Bob would ask me to go with him and then we could break up right before school started. I’m going to try and ask mom to let me have a swimming party at the lake but I doubt she’ll let me!
