While cleaning my room, I came across a diary I got in February 1998 (when I was about 8 years old). It only had 5-10 entries in it, so I read them all. It was quite amusing! I have to share these:

August 21, 1998

Today is Friday. I just got back from a vacation. I went to Big Bear Lake!!!!! I can’t wait till school starts!!! It starts in 4 days! I probably won’t write in this for a long time ‘cause I haven’t for like 3 months! Anyway, I can’t wait till school starts!!!! Except that people are mean and they laugh when you fart. They are sooo mean! They tease eeeverybody! I can’t believe it! Well anyway. It is 8:52! Gotta go! Bye!

August 22, 1998

Today is Saturday. I am going to a Wedding Reception. Only a RECEPTION. NOT a Wedding. The Wedding was in HAWAII! Well anyway, I’m late! The Reception is in San Ramon! I’m leaving about right now. Actually, I’m leaving later ‘cause Daddy’s getting gas. I’m soooooooo late! I was supposed to leave at 11:00. But now it is 11:16! Anyway, I Gotta Go! Bye!

And on the first few pages of the book, there are multiple donut-like drawings. Next to one of the donuts is written “(A PEEKING DETECTOR)” and at the bottom of one of the pages is a warning that says “Don’t Go Past! If You Go Past Anymore, You Will Get Poisoned By A Peek Detector!” The tops of each of the next 30ish pages has “Don’t look! [donut] Stupid! [donut]”

Wow, I was quite a silly little 8-year-old.
