I have about 3 minutes beofre my lunch time.... yummy! Hmm, I should start writing in here everyday from this day forward. Well, right now I have a swarm of butterflies in my tummy because I think Eddy is mad at me and I'm about to see him but I don't know if I should and I think I'm going crazy and what if we break up I hope we dont I really do and god my tummy is killing me and I cant belive Im typing so fast and stupidly I apologize to any readers and I have about 30 secoonds, so bye!

Hmmm.... long time no write to in this thing..... lets see... update: I LOVE EDDY MONTOYA WITH ALL OF MY HEART

I love you Eddy!!!

A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on the road...
Girl: Slow down. Im scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not please, its too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
*Girl hugs him*
Guy: Can you take my helmet off & put it on? Its bugging me.
Paper the next day: motorcycle crashed into a building because brake failure. 2 people riding only 1 survived.


The truth: halfway down the road, the guy realized that his brakes broke, he didnt want 2 let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him & felt her hug 1 last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant his death

Ahhh.... being with someone you like all the time... how wonderful...

I love The Lone Ranger!

I can't wait until I come out as a dama in Adri's 15. OMG! How awesome! Even Peter is gonna be a chambelan! (But, not mine!) :) I kinda got hurt when Whats-His-Face said he wasn't going to be in it.... how sad. Guess I'll have to take someone else. :( Not what I had in mine.... Oh well. I don't understand why I just can't accept the fact that it was never meant to be. *sighs* Erik is right. lol... "There plenty of fish in the sea." How cute. I thought guys had no art or creativity for things like that. Meh. It's funny how Erik and Vala always prove me wrong when it comes to guys! 

I LOVE MONKEYS! I LOVE MONKEYS! (Thats why I love Peter and James, lol...)

This sux, this sux..... Oh man, this sux! I am so not feeling right right now....

Dear Diary,
   Is it wrong to like one of your best guy friends?

I Love You, Hoobastank!

*exhales* Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

I read this on Benny's lighter and I HAVE TO REMEMBER IT!

"I don't have a foul mouth, I just like to say 'Fuck' a lot."

They say money can't buy happiness. It can't. But it does buy you the things that make you happy!

I hope to marry someone like Douglas Robb. I'll be happy then.
