Valentine's Day & '90's Jeans

Feb. 13, 1995

Tommarrow is Valentines!  I'm giving out Beauty & Beast cards.  Evan tho I'm 11, my favorite cartoon is B.B. and then Lion King, then Aladen.  Disney's coming out with a new movie "Pocahontist."  I don't think it will be that good.  

Tomarrow we have to wear red, white, and pink.  Hey!  At least it's not uniforms!  I'm going to wear my rock-washed jeans, and a T-shirt.  I wanted a white one - but I don't have one so I turned one arounnd.  And a BEAUTIFUL vest daddy bought me!  And my prarie boots and my silver hoops clip-on earrings.  

On Friday me and daddy went on a date.  To the mall and to a camo and lace dinner (Father and daughter) at church.  It was fun! 

I feel like Lisa is sporting a pretty solid example of what I remember as "rock-washed" denim.
This is a super intense looking scene from Saved by the Bell.  Maybe they are discussing their own chosen outfits for Valentine's Day.

Hi! At the speech meet I got "supirior" on "I Have a Dream!"  Now I will tell you about ballet. 

This girl in my class, Becky is a real nerd - I do not like her.  Margo, the teacher's daughter is my best friend in ballet.  Sarah is a showoff but I geuss I juged her because shes been nice lately.  But she comes only once a week.  And Becky comes 2.  So does Margo.  So she saves me.  

Another dramatic day in ballet.  

Note: You GUESS you judged her, 11 year old self?  I'm amazed you had time to learn how to pointe and pirouette at all what with all the judging going on. 

The March Onward to Adalessonts

...In which my mean streak is further unveiled.  Or is it just childish carelessness/ignorance?  No concept of judgement and the harm it can cause?  Also, my 5th grade crush is revealed, and I wax philosophical.

Hi! Tonite Holly, Bonnie, Rick, and Mary are coming for the weekend. I can't wait! Today is Friday. Ashley is gone. I didn't really like her that much.  She's a snob, and she flirts with all the boys!  I'm a little glad she's gone!

Well see ya.  I can't really concentrate.  Because I'm listening to A.L Radio station!  (Amy and Lee's)  We tape each other, you know.

Hi! Holly and Bonnie were great! I had so much fun! Geuss what? I'm going to the Math Olypics! With Craig, Gyran, and Ryan.  (Edit - The second kid's name was actually Garyn, but apparently I didn't know how to spell my classmates' names, despite the fact there were less than twenty of us.)  Dallas was going to go, but he didn't want to, so Craig's going.  I wish Dallas was going.  I think he likes me!  Maybe he's just my friend.  Well, I'm his friend.  TJ is my friend.  I mean, I don't come to school passionately in love with him anymore.  

Oh wow. Adalessonts.  The Worst and Best years of my life.  Today in PE I was really mad.  At everyone.  Then I went outside and asked God to help me.  He did!  (of corse.)  I was filled with love for everyone!  

For the speech meet I'm memorizing "I Have a Dream." It's so good.  And I'm writing a book called, 'The Land Below the Sea.' I think it's the best I've ever written.  

Ya know. In my last diary, I didn't really tell you my deep down feelings.  In this one I do.  

Note: Sadly, I have no memory of "The Land Below the Sea," and no evidence of it remains. A great work of literature, lost to time.  And those really are my deep down feelings.
