somethings old

As I may have mentioned before, I recently started reading a fantasy novel that is part of Chris’ absolute favorite series of all time. (He’s not even done with the series yet, but he’s enamored.) But last night instead of opening it to see what Tattersail would do next, I decided to read a little something by… dreamergrrl. And oh, what I found! Here are some of my favorite quotes from my short perusal. One of you will understand all of this. A couple of you will understand most of this. Most you probably won’t care… but these excerpts amuse me greatly.

“Today I cried 7 times in school today I think. Now don’t get the idea that I cry everyday or anything, cause this just happened to be a really wierd day.”

“Ron and Garett have decided that they will not date within our circle of friends because it would be a bad idea. SCREW THEM.”

“I’m not really sure how to begin, other than by saying it started off with a bang. Thursday itself hadn’t been so great. In fact, I ended up crying during German again. What is it about German that makes me cry? I was stressing about, well, everything, so Mrs. Wallick allowed the whining rule to be lifted for the day. That’s when the tears came, as I sputtered through the physics and German and calculus of it all.”

“The combo was sitting across from a Taco Bell/Hot Dog place, minding our own business, munching down some chips, when Dr. T approached. He looked at me, informing me that one of my bags had been damaged and that I was to follow him to check it out. He was kidding… of course he was kidding. How would they damage one of my bags before the plane even arrived?”

“Note to all you people out there who automatically assumed I either did or did not drink beer on Green Beer Day: a) I don’t drink, don’t be ridiculous b) don’t be ridiculous, I had to have some fun c) drinking chai for Erin = being drunk for the rest of the world d) conclusion would be that Erin had almost 18 ounces of chai total yesterday. I swear it has the same side-effects…”

“We have six weeks left… that’s not enough time to build a relationship that will last the summer with anyone.”

“So that last entry… yeah nevermind.”

April 15, 2003
“So you want to know about Chris, do you Aaron? Chris is amazing… we will have been together a month this Sunday (Easter), and I can’t believe how wonderful things actually are.”

February 18, 2004
“I thought you might like to know that I fully intend to marry Chris after college… I’m very much in love with him – it’s insane. I couldn’t be happier!”

“Next year I’ll be editor of the literary magazine. I’m assistant editor now. Wish I could write… remember when I used to think I could? I don’t think I have the warmth… energy?… stamina…”

“I want to take his computer and smash it into little tiny pieces. Ok maybe I could take his video card and RAM out first for myself… but THEN I want to smash it into little tiny pieces.”

“Does anyone know Hungarian for ‘boyfriend?’ Because apparently it doesn’t translate too well in plain English.”

“Remember when OD used to crash all the time? Remember how it would crash and in doing so lose everything that you had written for that entry? That always sucked a whole bunch. I’m glad they fixed that problem.”

This is exactly why I keep a diary. Hindsight is such a funny, funny thing.
