Secret words

Cleaning out my childhood bedroom over Thanksgiving I came across my junior high diary. We're talking 7th grade. We're talking 2 decades ago. Although I was on the edge of being embarrassed while I read it, I ended up enjoying quite a few laughs. I wrote a lot about report cards, sports practices, my spoiled little sister, and where all of my friends and crushes fell on my scale of brain power. I was seemingly obsessed with brain power.

Here are a few choice quotes:

 - If I ever have a husband and he reads this I would like him to know that I have no boyfriend and I never plan to!

 - School is so boring! I spent the entire day daydreaming. I must have the next twenty years of my life planned.

 - I got a perm today (spiral).

 - It was ninety degrees today. I hope it gets cooler. The hole in the ozone is making the seasons warmer.

 - I'm really scared about 3 things. They are life, death, and puberty.

 - Thank goodness I'm smart or I might have no future whatsoever.

 And the most epic of all:

 - I didn't know it but I got my first period. It was gross. I am so disappointed. God didn't listen. I wasn't supposed to get it until I said the secret word!

Ahh, memories.
