I have some of my old journals that I have always loved to look back on from time to time and laugh at the crazy random whimsy of childhood. You should totally post the video of the Romeo and Juliet spoof when you get back to the states. I'm sure everyone would be thrilled to see it. :) You are the bomb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-3506645296663846562013-07-22T12:19:11.151-06:002013-07-22T12:19:11.151-06:00Come on, we need to see drawings and the spoof tha...Come on, we need to see drawings and the spoof that was video taped...<br />I wonder what my journals would have said???

Now, you'd think that having six people, two dogs, and countless suitcases crammed into one, small Oldsmobile would be the worst part of the trip; you'd be wrong. This particular side of the family birthed the devil incarnate that took the name of Alex (I believe she goes by Lexie now, but I still call her Alex to irk her). <br /><br />Now back to the present. I too was recently going through some old journals where I read countless horror stories of what my cousin had done to me. Stealing the stickers I got from a Happy Meal, (Happy Meals were a big deal in my family because we never went out to eat and the prizes were cherished) taking credit for building a truck out of foam blocks that I made, and my 11-year-old self SWEARS she stole a pair of turtle earrings. All of these tragedies took place in just one of our "vacations". What was my revenge you ask? I wrote down the account proudly: "Today I finally desided to get back at her. I took Graham's socks that he is to lazy to wash (think of the smell of moldy cheese meets death) and stuck them in her pillowcase. Oh boy I hope she smells them!!!!" Underneath is a picture I drew with comical smell lines coming from her pillow and Alex crying with a thought bubble exclaiming, "What's happening?!?!?!"

[I named my childhood journal after the journal in a Featured Film for Families]<br /><br />Hi! Today I went to church but I got there a little late. (I only missed the first two lines of the opening hymn.) Maybe I'll feel more like going to school [word “today” crossed out, arrow to margin for the word>] tomorrow but I don't feel like going to school today. It seems like I'll do bad or something. It's Randee's birthday. She might be physcic! [psychic] Weird, huh? IT WAS A WARM, SUNNY DAY I HOPE IT’S LIKE THAT TOMORROW!<br /><3 ya!,[I say to my journal....]<br /><3,<br />Halee<br /><br />P.S. I GOT JULIET IN THE SPOOF!<br /><br />June 3, 1996,<br /><br />Today I went to school we practiced R&J a lot today. We practiced the spoof of Romeo and Juliet too. Everyone laughed at the way I did my parts and said I did a good job. Except Melanie. I don’t know what I ever did to her, but she hasn’t liked me forever! She’s one of my closest friends [contradict myself much?] and I don’t know what I’ll do without her, but I might have to deal with that. I’m going to pray and see what Heavenly Father says for me to do.<br /><3,<br />Halee!<br /><br />P.S. It was warm and sunny today too!
