Delve with me into the mind of a 14-year-old girl. This was the oldest journal entry I could find in my written journals. You know what it's about? Boys. Yep. Boy type high school drama-ish stuff. I...yeah. Working with high school kids again this summer made me realize how much stuff like this is just...life. Every. Day. And. Wow. Wow I'm glad I'm not in high school anymore.
June 12, 1999 - Saturday
I still like Chris, but not as much as before because I know that he does not like me. We can talk to each other and I am not afraid to call him like Erin was, but we have about nothing in common. All of my friends are saying he is conceited and thinks every girl is in love with him, but they still should not say things about him like that if they aren't sure. Emmy and Lisa used to like him a lot and now Emmy asked me why I even like him. So now they are making me think that I do not like him anymore. Even though Peter flirts a lot and makes fun of blondes at least he will talk to me. Most of the time the only way I talk to Chris is if I say something first. And, at the Special Olympics, it seemed like Mike liked me because he was flirting with me a lot and we talked about a bunch of stuff and I found out that we had a lot in common. Like we can both write with both hands. But I could not just start to like Mike because I already knew that Emmy liked him. And last Wednesday, Emmy asked me if I liked him because her mom and sister said they even thought he liked me and I said that he was nice, but I did not like him like that. Even if we did both like each other I would not want to hurt mine and Emmy's friendship. I still only really like Chris, but my only friend that is not against him is Chrissy.

I can hear you talking in a cute 14 year old voice here. It's adorable.
I look at the date though, and forget that you're still so young :)
@chow@ireallylikefood - 25 isn't SO young is it? I guess it depends on your perspective. I think E sometimes forgets that, too, him being 35.
I don't know why, but I see you most like a contemporary than someone much younger than I am; until I'm reminded by looking at dates like these hahaha... 1999! We were like, YOUR age now back then. And you were but a wee lad, writing about boys. XD It's okay though when I look at my 14 year old self, I wasn't much better.
Haha! I should find an entry from fourteen and post it... I don't think I have that journal here though. Besides it wasn't all that long ago for me :P
@Vintagesque - yeah...just wait. This is kind of fun for me to do cos I haven't read them since I wrote them probably. Yesterday I read something that I had absolutely no recollection of. It was kind of strange.
Wow... I never knew you were a real girl, my love! Guess we're all human. :) I love love love you.
@heyihopeitssunny - I think it only lasted 1-2 years. I never had school friends outside of school until high school really.
Oooof. All my journal entries from a younger day are like, "I think they might know I'm gay." or "I wonder if they're gay. The may have been flirting..."
@Viewtiful_Justin - See? It's all the same stupid high school stuff...that none of us really want to go through again...
@lauralen - I'm certainly glad I'm past that. Now it's "Who cares if I'm gay..." and "I wonder if they're gay."
