January:
I played Puzzle Pirates a lot. My exams were that month. I began having blackouts this month. They make me late and have to cancel things. I've been to the doctor for it and taken MRI's and the like. They don't really know anything except that there is a ninety-one percent depression in one ear that really affects my balance and triggers my vertigo. Stress seems to cause the blackouts as well. BahBah and I ran a lot of errands looking for things to do with the house. It still hasn't been started yet. We're working on it though. We started our Waffle Club this month. It's still going on.
February:
Sonny and I had our four month anniversary early this month. Sorian and I spent a lot of time together and continued the Waffle Club. Kitty, Pareesa and I hung out a lot. I helped paint sets for the school play. I died my hair red and black before our Hot Topic dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. I made BahBah his birthday dinner as usual. I missed my great grandmother's funeral. I went to New York on a school trip. The first day was terrible; it was cold and snowing and I didn't get real food and I was just miserable. Late that night I went down to the hotel bar to get a cheeseburger, O'Neal walked in after me to check on me and he got a cheeseburger as well and paid for mine. He takes care of me. The next day of the trip was better. We went shopping and found some cool things. I had my headphones on during the bus ride, but occasionally I would hear screams from the movie and I would jump up and shout 'Is she having a miscarriage?!' Nobody else thought it was that funny. I broke up with Sonny on the twenty-second.
March:
This month I spent a lot of time with Jeremy. I even went out to Dinwiddie. I hit a deer while I was in Dinwiddie. I laughed so hard. It bounced off my car like a plastic toy. We had to take my car to the shop, but it's fine. Sorian and I continued the Waffle Club. I worked a lot after school and I made a pattern for my prom ensemble and tested it out. I made a pencil skirt with a detachable bustle and an underbust corset out of navy and black gatorskin moleskin. Doug came up to Richmond with Jeremy and we chilled. I watched a lot of movies on Sundays as breaks.
April:
I spent some time with Eric this month as well as Kitty. Sorian and I continued our Waffle Club. I met my mother one day for lunch and a movie. I started talking to Kitty's cousin whom we refer to as 'Hubby Bear'. I went to see Dr. Farmer at VCU to discuss transfer courses. I found the love that is Chowder this month. One day when we didn't have to go to school, Kitty, Alyx, and I went down to Dinwiddie. We had the principal call O'Neal to tell her we weren't crazy killer and she let us in. We strutted around the school all day and made a huge scene. They took pictures of us for their yearbooks and we scared a lot of people. We got asked into a few rooms to talk to the kids about ourselves and some of the teachers had to question our ensembles. After school we went to get some ice cream and then headed home.
May:
Prom was the first weekend. Kitty never showed up. We finally got in touch with her because she didn't have the decency to call and tell me she wasn't going to show. I didn't get prom queen, but it was still fun. We went to Waffle House for a club meeting and I changed in the parking lot of the bank. I spent a few days with Jeremy and a few with Eric. I had my Art History exam this month. Those ladies were bitches and they thought we were crazy rude. They sent a letter to Masterson and she yelled at us. I played billiards with Kitty, Bao, and Alyx one day. The Art Picnic was fun. We all sat around and ate good food and drew together and talked about our futures. Graduation practice was so boring and I tripped. Our final senior meeting was so boring as well. We had our picnic afterwards which was horrid. It was so hot and there were only hot dogs and burgers to ear, both were grossed processed products so I didn't get food. I tried to play volleyball in my platforms, but that failed. Billie had Sarah throw her water on my so I stomped over, shouted at her, and kicked her. I got a bit tanned. Jeremiah and I were the Most Artistic again like we were in eighth grade. We took our picture on the sidewalk. I got an interesting museum project for the final Art History assignment. We had to pick at least twenty pieces of art and a building all within the budget. I got a one hundred as my grade. I spent all of one day from about seven in the morning to late that afternoon to help my mother with a yard sale. It was a long and hot day, and I had work afterwards.
June:
I had my final exams this month. Graduation was lame and dreadfully long. I wore all black under my dress and stripped once it ended. I got some looks, some comments, some pictures, and a bible thrown at me. Kitty went with us to Ruby Tuesday for dinner; I actually got a little steak. I worked at least three days a week at this point because of my availability. We had a Hot Topic party at Coldstone on Father's day. I made BahBah a dinner of little Cornish hens and a key lime cheesecake. I went with BahBah to Chili's for dinner one night and then to Friendly's with Sorian, Ashley, and Christine. We were all wearing sunglasses and it was around eleven or so and we were getting huge ice cream sundaes. The glasses and the laughing definitely tipped them off that some of us were under the influence. After that we went to Mc'Donald's. I played Castlevania and watched a lot of Metalocalypse this month. I spent some time with Eric and Sorian this month. I chatted with Ian [Mookie] on cam a lot. Erik and I went to Potomac Mills for a day. That was a lot of fun. I didn't find anything too great, but I got some yummy candy and got a lot of comments and looks. Sorian and I started our night drives this month. We call each other and go get Slurpees and then go for a drive to relax.
July:
I chatted with Ian on Cam and Sorian and I continued to have our Waffle Club. My great aunt died this month and we had to go to Lexington for the funeral. I got a lot of comments and looks again. I spent a day with my step-brother one day. We went to River City Diner and to see a movie. It was a pleasant day. I played Dynasty Warriors obsessively this month. BahBah had surgery on his hand, so I was taking care of him. I spent a lot of time doing puzzles; I quite enjoy them. I switched majors this month; now I'm a Culinary and Pastry Arts major. I'm going to get both degrees through JSRCC. I had a social gathering one day. I made some tiny pizza, cheese rolls, petit fours, and rainbow cookies for it. The other kids were late and brought random things. We ended up playing Twister which was hilarious. Aaron had his birthday this month. I made him orange and chocolate cookies for the party. There was a watergun fight, but I was in the 'No Splash Zone'. I had a tiny little black water pistol in my hand though [they couldn't see it].
August:
The family reunion was the first weekend of the month. I made an éclair cake for everyone. The group and food selection were small this year, it was very sad. I made a tutu for the trip to go with my big platform boots with the metal plated buckles. I played My Sims all day every day [except for work time] for about a week. It was a great game, I loved it, I beat it. Sorian got asked to help plan a wedding, so I with that. Sorian and I spent a ton of time together this month and we still do. The Waffle Club is smaller now that everyone is away for college. I watched all of Cowboy Bebop. We hired a few new people at Hot Topic. David is really cool; I dig him. We've spent quite a few nights getting slurpees and chilling together. Ian sold his Xbox 360 Elite to come see me for a few days. He stayed with Sorian and I spent all day with them. We had to run a few errands, but we did a lot of chilling and the like. We went to Peking on the last day and I sat attentively and watched everybody. I got two small plates of food before my ice cream. I leaned over the counter to Sorian's father and said 'BahBah, may I have some vanilla ice cream?' He beckoned me around the counter and grabbed a big glass and filled it with ice cream for me. I got sick towards the end of one week. I still went to help everyone get ready for the wedding with Sorian. Then I dipped out to help David with their show. I was a roadie for the day. His friends are crazy and silly and I love them. I began school that week. Yoga was my first class. Sanitation was the next class. That weekend was my first Culinary class.
