Today was my birthday! Wow, it was a great birthday. I think that it was one of the best, although one of the most bittersweet. This was the last birthday that Jed and I will spend together. He leaves in five days. I leave for camp in four. I woke up at 12:38 in the afternoon, and then I took a leisurely shower. I shaved my legs, and washed my hair. Then I got out and dressed. After I was dressed and ready, I went to Gram’s for a bit. When I came home I had to clean up dog puke that was just like thick snot, but when I went back up to Gram’s Barbie was there! We hung out until it was party time. Jed came first at quarter to five, followed by Ashley and finally Levi. It was a nice little gathering, we had chips and pizza. My cake was chocolate and vanilla with a creamy middle. I blew out all my candles and made a big wish! Then I opened presents, they were all wonderful. I felt a little guilty about all the attention, but it was great! We opened presents before cake. The cake was really good and mommy got this great chocolate and vanilla and peanut butter ice cream in it. My buds and I sat and laughed, joked, and Levi beat Jed at chess. Then we all went for a leisurely walk. Jed and I got into a fight, but that’s only because we are going to miss each other so much. Everyone went home at around nine, although Levi left at seven forty five. I did my eye drops and then came home and watched the Labyrinth. It is such an awesome movie, Barbie got it for me. Then I wrote Jed a heartfelt e-mail and told him how I felt about our friendship and how much I’m going to miss him. He is my buddy after all.

All and all, it was a great birthday.

Dear diary, wow things have been so groovy around here that I had to start keeping a summer diary. I thought that I deserved a new word file for summer, what do you think?

Well yesterday I went swimming at Jed’s Aunt and Uncle’s place. He is moving away, my bestest buddy in the whole wide world is moving away! I am going to miss him so much. I’ve also been afraid that I have slightly tainted the last few days which we have had so far together by getting tweaked at him, although he deserved it. What is it with boys and their fascination with my stuff? I really truly do not understand it. Seriously, my perfume and bras cannot possibly be that intriguing. Not only does he snoop, but he breaks things! He insists on whacking the balloons that Pucky gave me around the room and almost knocking my statues off. Then he takes my inflatable owl, which I asked him to blow up, ties it to the fan, and turns it on! That was uncalled for.

Plus he’s bigger than me. I don’t think that I particularly care for that thought. He could very easily cause me bodily harm. He doesn’t realize his own strength. I am not a very small girl, you know that, but I’m not very strong. Plus he is way bigger than me and when he hits me it hurts. If I hit him the worst it does is stings, half the time he doesn’t even feel it. Its not a very good situation to be on. That’s another reason I don’t think that I wouldn’t date him, he can be very abusive. Of course I hit back, but it hurts! And then when we were swimming he pulled at my swimsuit inappropriately multiple times, with his feet. I don’t like that, I don’t’ like that at all. But its okay, he’s moving away and I’m going to miss him. He told me that he loves me. He is nuts, he can’t love me. He may think that he does, but he doesn’t even know me. There are tings about me that he could never understand. Plus I love Puck. I’m sorry, Jen may think that I’m nuts, but we are talking about the same girl who has trouble with believing that Pucky is catholic and wants to have a family! She says that he is odd, although I love her to bits I think that she is a little odd for not being able to just believe him when he says that. What is so strange about that?

Oh, and the fact that he has blood and DNA simply left her flabbergasted. I was feeling befuddled myself today, though. My cousin, yes, the mean one, asked me over to her house to watch The Lord of the Rings with her. I was almost sure that it would be a trap. Seriously, she has not been very nice to me and I cringe to think of the version of things that she hast old to her parents. They must think that I am awful. That’s okay though, I am awful.

It was nice. We played Parcheesi, watched LOTR, and hung out. Kelsey was there, though. That girl is not my favorite person in the whole wide world. She is very rude. I don’t want to get into it right now, but she is certainly not a nice person. Well, I can’t say that. She might be a nice person, but she acts very ignorant in certain ways. Plus she is a follower and has no loyalties. Perhaps that is what I truly dislike about her. Not her lack of etiquette or consideration, but that she stands by whoever the weather is with. With friends like her, who needs enemies? I don’t trust her, and perhaps with good reason.

Then later in the evening, around nine, Tina, Stephie, and I went to Blockbuster and Rita’s. It was a pleasurably evening and we rented Just Married which is a really funny movie. It was a great time until Martina decided she wanted a light on, I told her that it bothered my eyes, and she got angry and went upstairs. It was a nice movie though, and I enjoyed Steph’s company.
