Bagels - 3/3/2007

Well, I got a job. The job is at Brueggers. I managed to get it because all the goths that used to work there quit. All of them. They hired me because I am eighteen and have bagel experience....


Well, Emma called. She says that Molly and I have been disappointments to her as friends, because sheís been friends with us since sixth grade and when she was out of school we abandoned her. Sh...

Bonnie - 2/5/2007

Saturday I had another minor emotional breakdown. I went clothes shopping with my mom, because I needed clothes, and found myself completely incapable of interacting with people. I knew I was a...


Important things have happened since I last wrote. Even when I did write, I didn't write about the important things. My birthday has come and gone. I am eighteen now. Finals and the semester ...


The reason I haven't been writing is that almost every interaction I have had with my friends during the past two weeks has made me want nothing more to do with any of them. Nothing more to do w...

I Don't Know - 1/15/2007

I haven't felt like writing lately. I recently wrote an entry but then acccidentally deleted it, which was very frustrating and is now adding to this feeling. Some slightly depressing things ha...


The day that I was out sick before vacation, Bonnie called me and asked if I was doing anything that night. This caught me off guard. "Uh... Well... I guess I'm not doing anything..." "Oh so.....


I haven't written in a while. I kept meaning to, but It's been a weird week. I kind of feel like I spent it all recovering from Thursday. It's surreal, knowing where I'm going to college in no...

Success - 12/18/2006

Thursday absolutely sucked up until five o'clock. In fact, the closer five o'clock came, the more things sucked. From about four to about four thirty, I looked at the clock about twenty-five ti...

On Anonymity - 12/18/2006

I have been trying to decide for a while whether to call First Choice College by its real name here. I went through the same thing with the city I live near. I tried to be anonymous at first, b...


I find out in an hour and forty five minutes whether or not I got into First Choice College. The concert is also tonight. The concert during which my jazz band will make its debut. Practice ye...

Bad Week - 12/10/2006

The Monday morning after it was established that the band died again, I came into school and said to Dave, "What about Speedy?" He looked interested. "Speedy," he said, interestedly. "Speedy."...

Conflict - 12/2/2006

This morning when I first became conscious, I felt okay. Several seconds later, I remembered that I should be feeling awful for some reason. Then in another several seconds it came to me why. ...


Band season is over. The parade and banquet were on Sunday. I was pretty grumpy through the parade because the new tuba kid, who really isn't too bright, was marching too close to me and dented...

School - 11/28/2006

Can we talk about how much of a slacker I am? I am a huge slacker. I really spend just about all of my time at home doing whatever I damn well please, even though maybe I should be doing some F...

More on Cool - 11/23/2006

When we went to the concert - before we got there, actually - the first thing I noticed was the way people looked. It was ludicrously noticable. In fact, we didn't even have to look at a map to...


Well, I suppose the first bit of news is that I am going to the Reel Big Fish concert tonight. This, like many things in my life, is less exciting than it should be. I guess it hasn't completely ...

On Cool - 11/16/2006

I have not been this miserable in a while. I have something really nasty. It makes me cough so much that my stomach muscles hurt. Sometimes I feel like I am coughing up my adam's apple. It ge...


I'm sick again. Sick enough to be rendered pretty immoble and useless. I was out of school yesterday, and today I didn't even make it through first block before I had to go home. I was too sic...


Saturday after the SAT2s, Dave came by to drop off my keys because I'd left them at his house. The SAT2s, as I mentioned in the last entry, were very upsetting, especially when I had already bee...


Lately I have been just sick enough to be less conscious. I don't really experience. I just sort of exist. I existed through marching band finals Sunday, feeling tired and nauseous and not qui...

Spirit - 10/30/2006

Friday was a little bit better than things have been in general recently. Because finals were this weekend, we had a spirit day. Eric and Schultz came up with Lucky Charms day - every section w...

Senior Year - 10/25/2006

Lately I've been feeling like everything I do is kind of pointless and kind of absurd. I've been doing it anyway, hard. I have thrown myself into it, because what else is there to do, really? ...


Last night I dreampt that I had sex with Dave. Twice. I dreampt it once, and then I woke up, and then I fell asleep and had a different dream where I did it again. Wait, it gets worse. First ...


Music is eating my life again, so I really haven't had time to write. Just know that I am still alive, and that since I last wrote I have had five performances, three minor emotional breakdowns,...


Book Description

This is where I will repost all of the entries I wrote on Open Diary between the ages of 15 and 18. Please bear with me while I flood the front page with whiney teenage girl entries.

Since I want an accurate record of how I was back then, I’m choosing not to fix my spelling errors. I might, however, edit out some of the entries devoted to surveys, Harry Potter crap, etc.

Here is a picture I drew of myself when I was 18:

And here is a character guide I wrote for my diary just after high school. These are the people I end up talking about the most. WARNING: SPOILERS, if that applies here.
