Did you know that if you turn a butterfly from a slug it doesnt turn back and thats why when a persen changes in to a better HUMAN BEING they will never becom back to what they were and that is why SIENCE helps learn about the population of the earth. There are alot of peeple who dont even relize why it is so importent to keep stay in school because if you dont you cant even figur out the world around you.

Jared is probly not even lerning anything rite now becaus he doesnt even listen and always just makes friends with the bad kids like BRAD and TYLER. I gues they can just go be in gangs when they are grown up and will probly be shot evry day because thats what happens in a GANG. Theres sometimes lots of grafiti all over the walls and it is not respectful to the comunity i know my sisters would probly laugh at me for even writing this but they just dont even CARE!

Hi there do you want to here a joke becaus I know lots of them ok here it goes why does an elefant hide in a cherry tree? I guess youve never noticed so it must work when it paints its toenails red. i found out today that we are going camping for scouts but not like a long camp like the older kids because its cub scouts and not boy scouts but thats ok because i dont even want to go with the older kids because then i would have to be with trent and thos other guys and jared always shows of becaus he thinks hes even better friends with them then he is with me and thats not even FARE becaus we are the same age and we have lived next door to each other for like 4 years and that SHOUD COUNT FOR SOMETHING.

Jared is my best friend and in order it is probly jared and then tim kyle sam is to but i havnt know him for as long SO I GUESS THE COURT IS STILL IN SESION ON HIM becaus it is important to make sure that you kno your friends really good befor you make them friends becaus what if they make bad choices in there LIFE and then you wont even be able to say that you were not friends with them and then you might go to prison together. Im making a collage for skool and its about histry because we have to know what things hapend so we can know what will hapen becaus thats how histry works i found a spider but i think its a trianchlas but my sister said we dont even have those becaus that one isnt big enough but i said well maybe its just a baby still and it will get biger so i guess we will see who is right one day hahaha!

Definitely. That should TOTALLY count for something. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if any of your childhood friends/acquaintances/neighbors/frenemies read your blog.
I can't reply any more, but I can reply to others.
DeleteSo if living next door to someone for 4 years makes you eligible for best friend status, before very long you and The Perfects are going to be justlikethis. Something to look forward to.
Sooo first of all it's weird seeing this because you wrote this the year I was born...
ReplyDeleteBut more importantly what's the order of your friends now? And what was the verdict on Sam? And of course the real question is did you ever find out if the spider was really a baby 'trianchla?' Also what is a trianchla? Is it like a triangle?
I can't remember the answer to the rest of your questions but Sam is the best friend I've ever had and always will be.
DeleteWait...what about Corey?
DeleteCorey concedes this one. There was a great battle for a while but then she agreed that since I had known Sam longer and since I had forced him to dress up as a nun when we were children it was only fair that he get the title. But she only allowed this if I agreed that she was my funniest friend ever.
DeleteAh ok. See cause according to this picture, Corey is your Best Friend:

Just saying.
Once again, I am nudged out because of "people you actually know". Psshh. But that's ok, cause I have Brianne. WHO HASN'T POSTED FOR A WHILE!!! But I'm not complaining because you're probably making her slave away with all the work you pile on her desk and probably forbid her to speak to me.
FYI I saw you serenade me on Instagram the other day with your Paul Simon song. I showed it to my wife.
I noticed you skipped my birthday and I thought "oh maybe he just didn't have anything super funny from that day" but then I realized YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO HIDE THAT YOU FORGOT. After all we went through you still couldn't be bothered to remember.
ReplyDeleteI love how as a 10 year old you said "so I guess the court is still in session" and then grew up to be a lawyer!
ReplyDeleteSo, did Brad and Tyler end up in a gang?
ReplyDeleteNot that we know what GANGS are Cathie!
DeleteI hope they joined the ButterCream Gang!
DeleteThe ButterCream Gang!!! Only THE BEST movie of my entire childhood!! Teaching the virtues of friendship and dangers of headband-wearing chicago gangs to 90's kids everywhere.
DeleteBut what about the Apple Dumpling Gang?!?
DeleteTO BE HONEST your hair looks better without the undercut!! ilysm anyway
ReplyDeleteThank you for making a rough Monday morning much better. You had some great childhood insights. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Lost Journal Series is alway the best part of my day. I am glad you were such a diligent journaler at age 10. You really had life all figured out. Posterity thanks you.
ReplyDeleteIt's totally true about gangs. I remember when I was in a gang, I got shot EVERY DAY too. It's a rough life.
ReplyDeleteYour political activism is really showing through at age 10.
ReplyDeleteCould we get a hierarchical organizational diagram of your friends. It would be easier to see a visual representation of their connection to you and each other than trying to keep track of them all.
ReplyDeleteI love how even after all these years you still found the elephant in the tree joke funny!
