Breakfast: sundried tomato bagel with vegetable cream cheese and coffee

I found one of my old diaries at my parents' house the other day. I think it's pretty safe to say that at least my mom has read it. I will be posting a few more of these before going back to regular programming. I haven't written anything personal in a while, so I've decide to share this--eek. All names have been changed.

Dear Diary,

I don't like Chris anymore. He and Paul are really nice but there's something weird about them. Chris like has a girlfriend that lives in Santa Barbara or something. Last night I went to the R.E.M. concert with Rebecca and Janet. It was really cool. Michael Stipe is such a cool dancer. He seems like he would be really cool. I guess I don't care now if I ever have a boyfriend. It's stupid. I don't feel very well, so I guess that I will take a nap. Bye for now.

Dear Diary,

Guess what? I just talked to Chris. I like him again. He doesn't have a girlfriend. Isn't that cool? He said that he would call me tonight. He asked me why I didn't call him anymore. I said "Why don't you ever call me?" I like him, like him, like him. I would be soooooo happy if he liked me. It seems to me sometimes that he likes me too, but he might just like me as a friend. I don't know. He's so cute/funny/boyish. Well, I'll write back very soon.
