I have been relatively miserable lately. There are several possible reasons. One possible reason is that the marchng band sucks. We suck. Really. We all suck, especially the drum line, and n...


Here's how the jazz band is looking: Flute: Bonnie, Ally, Emily, and a marching band freshman who I like becasuse she is already hardcore and because she listened to Joanna Newsom for more than ...

Superlatives - 9/25/2006

Today I did less than I usually do. I hung around not doing anything for the first half of gym. Instead of the second half of gym, I went to a mass guidence meeting during which my guidence cou...

Update! - 9/24/2006

I feel like I should update, but I have writer's block. This calls for a list of random things. Random thing number one: Tuesday, I got stuck on the roof of the school. I was waiting around fo...

Mono and Gym - 9/17/2006

I have definately settled into a routine. This means that I am significantly less unhappy. It also means that nothing all that exciting has happened. Molly officially has mono. In response to...


Sometimes, for the purpose of making this diary work better as a story, I leave things out or change things slightly. For some reason, today I feel like owning up to these things. 1. There are ...

A Little Better - 9/11/2006

After practice Saturday, the band had its annual mandatory party. It was a long, hard, hot practice. (I was very tired and I don't think I was playing or conducting very well. Again.) So we a...

First Week - 9/10/2006

A week of school has gone by. Here's how it went: Tuesday, I got up and walked to school. I wandered the halls trying to find my friends. I found Dave two minutes before the bell rang. I fol...

Apology - 9/10/2006

Mr. Thomas, I wanted to talk to you today at practice, but I never really got the chance to, so I guess an email is the next best thing. I want to personally apologize for what I did Wednesday n...

Wedding, Day Two - 9/6/2006

After I was done showering and throwing up, I came out into the living room. Molly and Dave were waiting for me on one side of the Rousseaus' L shaped couch, looking terribly concerned. I slump...

Wedding, Day One - 9/6/2006

Molly and Dave came over to my house Friday morning. We ran through everything we had, and my mother fed us lunch, and then we packed the big purple van full of equiptment and luggage and headed...

The Aftermath - 9/4/2006

"I just got an update from Katie about last night," said Molly when she came back from her shower in the morning. "All of the guys got caught coming back to their cabin. And Brian, Jake, Steve ...

Wednesday Night - 9/4/2006

To get back into my cabin, I had to push aside several of the senior guys, who were standing in front of the door chanting "Heil Bonnie!" over and over. Bonnie was sitting on her bed in the corn...


Day two passed relatively uneventfully, except that Ally went home sick (which is not too much cause for concern - she's a bit of a hypochondriac) and at night, it was me who got to stand at the ...


Jesus Christ do I have a lot to write about. And Jesus Christ is it good to be home. Monday we left for band camp. We took some pictures and heard some speeches and then we got onto the busses...


Fist and formost: I am off to band camp in a few minutes, and I am very excited. Also, right after band camp, I have been hired to play at Tom's cousin's wedding by Tom's mother. With Molly and...

College! - 8/24/2006

It's finally happened. I have finally found a college that makes choosing a college easy. Woo! I decided to look at the college, as usual, because I had heard of it, and knew it was big and go...


The last few days have not gone so well. Mostly, I have been wondering what to do with myself. But here are some things that I did do. Went to a school with a moderately good music program an...

Good Riddance - 8/17/2006

I shouldn't be up right now. I am tired and have to get up early in the morning. But I have to get this down. About an hour ago, my mom came into my room to tell me about an email she got from...

First Rehearsal - 8/15/2006

Today was the band kickoff party. We got the music for the opener, had a little bit of a rehearsal, and then hung out and ate pizza while the band parents fretted for hours over uniforms and thi...

College, etc. - 8/13/2006

This has been the worst summer ever. No contest. Last summer, the most exciting thing that happened to me was drivers ed. This summer, the most exciting thing that happened to me was probably ...


Lately, as I have been lying awake at night, I have been getting extremely angry at people. for me, anger is synonomous with the urge to talk some goddamn sense into the bastards. Five nights ag...

Lost - 8/5/2006

I feel lonely. And afraid. And completely buried in a bunch of shit. And somehow I feel like I don't deserve any sympathy. I feel like everything is my own damn fault. I think that I don't a...


I haven't updated in a while. This is because although things have been happening, they have not been terribly exciting things. There's the play, which is not very exciting. There isn't really...


So after I was tagged and decided not to write the six weird things about myself, I started to think about all the weird things about myself. I have decided that since there are definately at le...


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.
