March 9, 1995
Dallas likes me! Can you believe that? And I like him too! It's wierd isn't it? (Note: Ha! Yes. Liking people is SO wierd.) I knew because TJ and Dallas are best friends, and tomorrow the speech meet - oh and I'm going, I'm saying "I have a dream" - so we put our chairs in a cemi-circle and played "gossip" and at the end when we were all leaving Dallas said "I know what I would have said, It's about Lee!" I kept on bugging him and finally I said "Sarah, make TJ tell you!" So she did and she started cracking up! and I'm all "What? What? Tell me!" And she did! And I felt kind of wierd. Then I asked TJ if it was true and he said "Yes" and told him I like Dallas too! Beth told me later that after I left Dallas asked Beth if I liked him and Beth said, "Lee would kill me if I told." And TJ said "Yes, she likes you!" And Beth said Dallas started jumping around majorly! Anyway, I'm happy and now when this brat Becky at ballet asks me if I have a boyfriend I can say "yes!"
After all, what's the point of liking someone if you can't brag about it to your arch-nemesis at ballet? This entry is quintessential example of why I'm glad I've kept a journal throughout the majority of my life. Without documentation, I would've forgotten all about this, but thanks to the trusty college-ruled single subject blue notebook I kept from 1994-1995, the moment is recorded in all its pristine, 5th grade ridiculousness. Too bad I didn't write about the "break up"....if it could even be called that? Maybe we just went to school the next day and acted like nothing had happened? What happens in the "gossip cemi-circle" stays in the gossip cemi-circle?
