dear dana,
first and foremost: did eric mean gay blog as in "your blog is gay" or as in "the blog where you and caty are gay with eachother via internet"?
as much as i'd like to see you happy, -even if it is with another young boy- i'd say not to trust zham...however you spell it, cuz you've had enough experiences with cheating boys. and you should trust girls over boys, cuz the girls are usually right. just my opinion. we know how guys can be. even when they say they changed or make you trust them. remember dillon? it sounds like a dillon thing. he's doing everything in his power to convince you that he's changed and won't cheat on you. or maybe i'm just biased in a bad way. either way, whether you trust him or trust zoe and desire, i'll support you. because he's funny and referred to your birthday as "conceited day." ahahaha. :D
other than that, i'm glad you're happy. i like to see everyone happy. i'm trying to get happy too, but so far i'm only happy in two areas. 1: family. and 2: steve. everything else is like a seesaw and i can't decide if i'm happy or miserable with it. i'm working on it though. hopefully i'll get that seesaw up and be happy soon! or atleast once all this stupid SNOW goes away! ugh >.<

dear caty,
today is the last day of january. im bored. im at my daddys house and my brothers a douche bag as usual. umm... i dont really have much to say cuz i just saw you.
oh. well zoe told me zhamir had a gf and i asked him and he said they broke up 2 weeks ago. but then desire, from my party, used to date him and she said he cheated on her. i talked to him about it and he was really convincing that he changed. im not sure what to believe. i mean he could have changed... but then again he might not have. so idk. i guess whatever happens happens. i really hope he doesnt hurt me though.
just a few days ago i was sitting on my bed and i thought to myself "im happy" and i really am. i am soo very happy. i have no drama in my life and im happy... but then i had to find out this stuff about zhamir and it just made me a little less happy. but anywhoo.
also eric makes me not happy. he just said "is that your gay blog?" im like "this is how me and caty communicate." hes like "you know theres phone and texting and stuff." its like eric stfu. we want to write letters. so yeah.
but other than those minor details im happy as can be! what about you? :]

-dana

dear dana,
your week sounds fun. especially today! my plans for today have changed. instead of going to steve's, i'm at school until my test at 12. wanna know why? i went to his house this morning and he wasn't UP! i'm so mad, if you couldn't figure. i have never been so livid with him before. ever. >.< plus, i tried calling like, an hour later. and they didn't pick up the phone. i'm actually figuring it was danny not waking steve up this morning because he wanted to sleep in.
so i'm very much looking forward to today being over, and getting to hang out with you and jess.

-caty

dear caty,
im going to summarize everything after friday for you. so saturday (zoe had slept over from friday) me and zoe hung out. we went to her gmas house and out to dindin and she pierced my ear. it didnt hurt that much which i thought it would. anywho there has been a safety pin in my ear for the past few days and i took it out today and i couldnt get the earring in so im just gonna let it close. i dont really care about it.
sunday i went home and me and my mom and eric and will went to mels house and had dindin there. my mom made lasagna and her mom made chicken with rice and beans. yummy. and me and mel and will watched "julie and julia" which i enjoyed. and the three of us had a tickle fight which was funny lmao. id never think of having a tickle fight with will.
monday i had school. my band teacher gave me a dollar and a huge chocolate bar as a birthday present.the day was boring i guess. this kid zhamir (zuh-meer) likes me. and he told hakiere that he wanted to "bag me" lol. obviously hes black. and hes a freshie and i like him too. whats up with me and black freshies?
tuesday was possibly the most amazing day of my life. it was my 16th birthday (duh) and i loved it. it started off normal. bus ride to school. i had 2 tests with a total of 4 essays. in between the two tests i sat in the lunch room for about 2 hours with aracelis, anna, and jessica edwards. we were like high or something. we were laughing and screaming and being crazy. but it was soo fun. then i took my other test and i finished with an hour left so i went to sleep. when i woke up it was time to go. so i started walking to my bus. 2 freshman boys got off their bus to come hug me and tell me happy birthday. my bus was the very last one and i was the last one to get on it. i was tired too cuz i just woke up and all my freshman friends yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" and then they tickled me lol. it was totally awesome though. i felt loved. then i went home and me and my mom were gonna go shopping. i asked what mall we were going to and she said greece. and i said we have to go to either east view oe market place for aerie. and she started flipping out on me about how we dont have that much time cuz she has to go back to work later and all this stuff. so i got mad. but then i shopped. and i bought a bunch of clothes. and it made me happy. so cure to danas sadness = shopping. so then i went home and i was texting zhamir. and he lives near me so he came over and we went for a long walk around the neighborhood. it was nice.
this morning i slept in because i had an afternoon test. it was nice to sleep in. and i woke up to a sweet text saying "good morning my love" from zhamir. lol and then my daddy drove me to school and i took my test and i went outside and waiting for about 50 minutes in the freezing cold for jess to come. then i hung out with her... and corey lmao. because matt and corey and devon were there but after a while matt drove devon home so corey hung out with me and jess.
tomorrow i have an afternoon test same time as yours. then ill hang out with you guys!
i've taken (in school) algebra and computers and gym. (midterm week) global, english, and spanish. and tomorrow i take chem. which will suck. haha okk this is longg. bye :]

-dana

dear dana,
tomorrow i'm hanging out with you and jess. i've cancelled alllll my other after-test plans and am spending the day with YOU GUYS! my test is from 12 to 2. so i'm going to take my normal bus to jessica's. and before my test, i'm going to steve's so i'm close by and not waiting at school.
as for today, i spent the day with steve(shocker.) we had a very nice day. he made me breakfast when i got to his house at almost 11, from school. (my test was a morning one today.) we spent a few hours asleep till about 1:15. then we ate again. he made waffles. we did nothing for awhile, and went on a walk to a playground to swing. and then we played beatles rockband, and caught a bus to gma's where we had fried chicken for dinner. it was lovely :D
so far i've taken living environment, global and english. tomorrow's algebra, and then i'm done. i have friday off which is gonna rock.
how's your testing week been?

-caty

dear caty,
im glad you and steve will probably be there tonight. you guys'll make it more fun. i dont get why just because boys and girls hang out a lot people think they go out. like i walk to and from the bus everyday before and after school with hakiere. because we're friends. and we ride the same bus. do we go out? NO! lol
and no i have not noticed almost all of my letters have something about bathrooms in them lmao. i should check that out. its not an obsession. i dont like bathrooms. well i like the public ones with big mirrors but only if they're clean.
i understand that you could care less about chandler lol. and it buggs me that he left you guys for olga. i mean id be embarassed to be around her in public. then again id be embarassed to be chandler in public :p.
dooood i soooo love the "pants on the ground" dude! i was telling my mom about it and she said she heard a little bit of it on the radio and she was dying when i was doing it haha. "how old are you?" "62" "thats a little over the age limit of 28" lmfao.
i like superghetto things :] hahah my teacher was standing behind my computer and he like leaned over top of it to see what i was doing haha. and your conversation with that dood sounds interesting. i like how he can walk on water like jesus :]

dear dana,
i think me and steve will probably be there. he told me to let him know what i decide, and he'll follow suit. ewwww, eric. i'm not excited about seeing him. or that other family member of yours, who is a total bad-word-i-can't-say. my global teacher thinks i'm dating danny, cuz she always sees me with him after school cuz our 8th period classes are next to eachother. i don't have the heart to tell her that the boy she is talking about is in fact, my boyfriend's little brother. awkward.
i hope you've noticed by now that almost every single one of your letters talks about a bathroom somewhere in it. why is that? do you have a new obsession? it just gets weirder and weirder.
i try to not keep up with chandler anymore, cuz i could care less. i saw him a few weeks ago, but it was very brief. and all i did was give him reason to be jealous of my relationship, cuz me, steve and sophie went to spot, and he was there. but so was olga, so he left to hang out with her. >.< cuz none of us will go near her. she has a plague.
american idol is always funny. like that tiptoeing guy from tuesday. oh dear god, me and sophie almost had seizures from laughing so hard. it was crazy. and of course, we can't forget the new sensation sweeping the nation...pants on the ground. my global teacher sang it to poncho the other day, because he was walking around, showing off his underpantssss. so she goes "you need that song. pants on the ground. pants on the ground. lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground."
so if i come tonight, we have lots to discuss. and your present is either gonna be superghetto or not done. me and steve never got a chance to finish it this week, but i'll try to do it today cuz i've got slc, so i'll have free time.
"are you guys bestfriends?"
"yep."
"do you sell drugs together?"
"yup."
"sell drugs on the corner?"
"yup."
"what corner?"
"dewey."
"ohhh. dewey ave?"
"yup."
"now i get it. you're talking about how many bricks you're gonna get."
"exactly."
"how much you gonna make off that?"
"alot."
"about 50 g's?"
"somewhere around there."
"what's that? about 45 bricks?"
"eh, more or less."
"does it come by boats or trains?"
"trains. always trains. they check boats."
"low key. smart. you're alot smarter than me. i just walk across the water."
"like jesus?"
"yeah, i just carry it. 'what's that?' 'my breakfast.' 'from where?' 'puerto rico, i'm just taking it home.' 'it's powder.' 'oh...' and they just let me go. 'where'd you learn to walk on water?' 'it's an aquired skill.'"

^^^that is what i love about east. this kid asked me about what i was writing, and that was the following conversation.^^^

-caty

dear caty,
so is steve for sure not going? haha brandon will feel weird cuz he asked today "am i gonna be the only boy?" and now it'll be him and eric and will. but eric and will really arent part of the party. anywho i understand the you and danny time thing. thats kinda what i was thinking it was anyways.
oh and we're going bowling at 7 so we'll probably leave around 6:30... if you can come to my house before 6:30 great. or if you can get a ride to the AMF in webster. cuz thats where we're gonna be. if not thats fine too.
so i think i got my period today... and i wore a pad to school just in case. but i had to use the bathroom. so i went to the third floor bathroom cuz im on the third floor. there was a sign on the door that said "out of order" so i was like ook and went downstairs to the second floor bathroom. i went in it and discovered there was no toilet paper. so i wasnt gonna go to the third floor so i just came back to my class. i still have to go potty :[
hah that was a reallllly weird paragraph. oh and chandler and ashley like..er... liked eachother. and they were planning on going out. im completely fine with that. but last night chandler was texting this other girl melissa and telling her he wanted to cuddle with her and all this stuff. so i was like why is he like messing with ashley then? so i texted him saying "i thought you liked ashley?" and he said "i do" and i said "then whyd you say all that stuff to melissa?" and he said "idk ill tell ashley about it" i said "and say what?" and he said "that i like someone else too and that she hasnt shown interest to me lately" then i kinda went off on him about how hes messing with their feelings and he always likes a million people at once and stuff. and me and ashley talked about it and she said that he was being stupid because she never stopped showing interest that she was going through some stuff at home and she couldnt talk to him as much. im not sure if i really should have said that to chandler but i felt a need to because chandler has been like this for forever and he needs to change. and i also thought chandler going after melissa was wrong because DJ and melissa just stopped liking eachother. and DJ said hed never date me because i dated chandler and chandlers like a brother to him... but chandler will go and date a girl who DJ just liked? i thought it was just ugh idk. chandler buggs me. so we're not talking right now. but who knows how long that will last. so yeahh.
i was watching american idol last night and it made me laugh sooo much! haha this dude did a split and just like randomly stopped singing and announced *ghetto black guy voice* "i done ripped my pants" lmao i was dying. and this dude was all "simon cowwel i am going to hollywood!" and simon was all "no you're not." hahah. yeah i thought it was funny. anywho i still gotta pee >.< i have 10 more minutes till schools out. gahhhh. ok long letter done. byee

-dana

dear dana,
hopefully i can make it to your party. i'm still not sure what me and steve have planned for friday, but if there's time after the "meeting" we have with craig and everyone, we'll be there--or atleast i will.
uhm...you probably won't even get this today. well, i'm not sure. but donuts delite is kinda just a me-and-danny thing. so we can talk. cuz we don't get much time alone together.
[[b-t-dubbs, the kid next to me just read this and said "i'm going to that party too."]]

-caty

dear caty,
i guess you're right. im still gonna invite boys. im just not going to invite chandler because i've been thinking about it and i just dont think it'll be a good idea. but yes to boys. i dont wear make up a lot. its too much of a hassle i think. if i do wear it, it'll be on fridays or the weekends. and lately i've been thinking i look not as pretty and a few days ago i got a text that was a forward and it said something like, "what did you think when you first met me?" and i sent it to some guys and they all responded something like, "shes pretty" or "shes cute" and it made me feel better.
i hope you can come to my party. ill be sad if you cantt. would you mind if i came to donuts delite with youu? i havnt been in there since i was little. and yes your week sounds very busy. my week isnt busy at all... it never is. the only day im doing something is friday. but whatevs. okk bye.

-dana

dear dana,
if you've already invited guys, it's bad manners to just say "oh, nope. it's girls only now." so it wouldn't be a good idea to uninvite them. but if you don't want them there, you shouldn't have to deal with them.
i'm happy for you that you're gonna look amazing. if it was my party, i wouldn't even care cuz it's people who me all the time anyway. so they'll just go "oh, she's wearing makeup for once. whoopdidoo." i don't wear makeup anymore, b-t-dubbs. incase that didn't give it away.
i might not be able to come to your party, though. there's business to be taken care of on friday, and i'm not sure how long it's gonna take. but i'll let you know, and i'll try to be there. just let me know what you decide about the boys, so that steve knows if he should be going or not.
this week, i've got a full week. today me and sophie are scouring the library for a book steve had to read for morris[[an english teacher. the best teacher here.]] last year that he told me about that sounded really good, and then going to my house for food. tomorrow is wednesday, and wednesday's are mine and steve's days until eli gets ungrounded. thursday, me and danny are walking all the way to culver to go to donuts delite to get some donuts, cuz last time we went they had NO DONUTS. it was a fucking disgrace. and then friday, i've gotta get to jeff's house after school because we have to have a sit down with craig and we need 3 guys plus me and sophie to make sure he doesn't go out and do something stupid. and then your party of course.
how's your week gonna be?

-catyyyy

dear caty,
i really dont want eric going... maybe i should change it back to girls only? would steve be sad about that? idk. and im not sure if i want to invite chandler because i told him i was never going to go out with him again and he got mad. and now hes going to go out with ashley. and hes depressing and annoying and i just dont know if i want to invite him. what do you think?
zoe is making me an awesome skirt for my birthday. its butterfly material lol and i just bought a really cute new top from khols. and i bought make up and nail polish and i think im going to look simply amazing on friday. and if i dont i will be sad because its my 16th birthday party.
and i cant meet you at vas on friday because i've got a lot to do before people come. and zoe is coming over to help me get ready. so sorry about that but when we're not bowling we can walk away from everyone at some point to talk. im not sire what else to say right now because i typed more before but it didnt save :[ so uhh bye :]

-dana

dear dana,
to your second letter: we were so little! haha. those were the good old days. we had like, no drama with eachother or anyone then. remember how nice that was?
to your first: i know it's sad danny won't be there. he showed me the date on his permission slip and i was like "balls, dannnyyyyyyy. you're not commmmmingggggg?" and he said he has to go the boyscouts[ahaha] thing. and we don't need an even amount! cuz lauren, will and eric will run away and makeout with eachother. and zoe and mel will watch. so it'll just leave us cool kids...and brandon and channy.
i didn't talk to dillon about what was wrong. but it was nice to just talk to him lightly and friendly and like....like there's a chance for us to be good friends again cuz i miss that. but i know steve's different. i hate doubting him like i do, but i know better most of the time. i spent this entire weekend with him. like...he came over friday night after he spent the day with jeff & david, and i spent the day with sophs & danny. and he didn't leave till today at 3. so all. weekend. and usually, i get tired of people after that long. but we kept ourselves occupied and we had fun together. i think that was what i needed to get my mind straight on the subject of him.
i think we should meet at vas on friday, and then go to your house after we chat there for awhile. so we can have some bestie-time before your party :D and i have your present!! well...sort of. i'm working on it, with steve's help, and some help from jeff. but you're gonna get a kick out of it, i think! i can't wait. not that it'll be able to top your CAR from last year.

-caty

dear caty,

look how cute we were. i really miss the days back when we were innocent little thirteen and fourteen year olds. we had soo much fun. i just felt a need to put part of our past up here. :] i hump you.

-dana

dear caty,
aww im sad now that danny cant come. and you're right about the part where i agree that my birthday is more important. and i just send a facebook invitation to all of you people. so next on my list is britt ochterbeck.. but now theres gonna be an uneven amount of boys and girls... but whatevs lol. and no it is not ok for you to fight lauren lol. chandler yes. hahah.
im not sure if its a good or bad thing that you wanted to talk to dillon. but im glad he popped up when you needed him to. did you guys talk and did he listen? was he being a good dillon? lol. and i know its hard for you because of what dillon has done but you need to try and not think of steve like dillon. i can tell hes a totally different person. steve will always be there for you.
im glad you did well on your spanish too! and im also worried about midterms. im not freaking out about them, probably because i've taken them for years but i am worried. i do really good on little tests but when i take big exams i do really bad. like last years algebra final... you'd think i'd do really good on it because i got straight 100s through the year, but no, i only got an 84. and earth science... i took it over in summer school and i knew like everything but i only got an 80. and i hope you dont fail your algebra test. maybe i can help you study at my party! cuz im an expert at algebra! im taking it still >.<
so yeah i dont have much to update on either. you should come to my house directly after school on friday (the day of my party) and we could chill before everyone else comes. kay byee

-dana

dear dana,
i'm looking forward to bowling at your birthday adventure! but danny is probably not gonna be able to come cuz he has to go camping with boyscouts. i think that sucks and your birthday is much more important. and i'm sure you agree since...you're you and you love yourself so much. :p i think it's sad that i dislike everyone but jess, danny and steve on that list. but i promise not to try and fight anyone...maybe...probably. maybe lauren. would that be acceptable?
i'm over dillon, and yet, he still helps me through tough times. last night, steve was being weird. and it reminded me of how whenever dillon was about to dump me, he'd start being distant and weird with me. so i almost had a panic attack cuz i was freaking out so bad. and i kept thinking "i want to talk to dillon, and maybe yell at him and blame him. or maybe just cry and have him listen cuz he'd listen anyway." and then....lo-and-behold, an IM pops up...from dillon. it's like he's got this magic about him, no matter how much i sometimes want him gone.
i'm glad you did good on your spanish! i did good on mine too. we did the speaking part today, and i'm really slow with speaking cuz i don't pick it up well or practice. but i still got a 100. and midterms are in about a week, and it freaks me out cuz i hate big tests. and i'm afraid i'm gonna fail my algebra again this year. i'll die if that happens.
i don't think i have anything big to update on. nothing's been going on that i can write to you on the blog. but at your party, or maybe before that if we talk or see eachother, i have many things to tell you.

-catyyy

dear caty,

i think we should call my birthday party a birthday adventure! it sounds so much more awesome! haha and im not sure who coming yet but heres my invite list: you, jess, zoe, lauren, mel, danny, steve, chandler, eric, will, and brandon? im not quite sure. if anyone cant come ill invite britt ochterbeck. and if more people cant come then ill either find other people or it'll just be a smaller party lol.

im glad you're over dillon. i am too. i was reading my diary the other day and it had some things about dillon in it from when i liked him. it was such a short period of time, and so long ago that i dont even remember it really. when i think dillon, i think you and dillon not me and dillon. i have a thing for sweet guys and boy was he sweet. till he was all "im gonna steal your friend catys heart." and then he actually did. lol but whatevs.

i had to pee a lottt earlier haha but i went pee like 10 minutes ago. im in school. i hate peeing in school. anywhooo i have my speaking portion of my spanish midterm today and it was sooo super easy! me and my teacher were going out to lunch. she asked me where i wanted to go. i said taco bell. lmao she said *in spanish* "do you want a hamburger?" "no" "do you want a hot dog?" "no" "what do you want?" "yo quiero taco!" = i want taco! haha so yeah she was like ok what do you want to drink and i said lemonade. so i got 100 on that part.

so all is good in dana world. i just sneezed. thought id put it out there. oh in lunch khang and DJ were talking about my boobs being all weird and stuff. and then khang asked if i would let my husband boob fuck me. im like idkk! and he was like oh chandler you're gonna get that! im like alrighty then creeper. i saw layne THREE times today. thats a new record! he half hugged me half attacked me. lmao it was weird. anywhoo i guess thats alll.

-dana

dear dana,
we could call your birthday party a...."birthday get-together." it sounds much less childish, right? i don't know if steve's coming. i'll be sure to ask him...or atleast i'll try to remember to ask him. who is coming to your birthday?
i don't know how my midterms week looks like, but i'm probably spending most of it with steve. sorry :[ cuz we'll have the house to ourselves all week since danny stays all day, and steve has almost no tests.
me and jess have both read go ask alice. let me know if you like it, cuz we really didn't. it was slow, and...uninteresting.
so as much as i hate getting up at 5:30 for school every day, i hate weekends even more. i don't fare well without steve around, and i feel lost without him. it makes me wish we were older so i could see him everyday, instead of just school days and whenever his dad can bring him over here. i want to see him, cuz i get lonely without him, and i know he's stressed out right now, probably partly due to the fact that he left his backpack here on friday. :[
so yeah...i hate weekends cuz i never get to see him. they're miserable and stupid. and i'm just not even in the mood to be with anyone but him, and he's the farthest person away from me. i hate being in bad moods. dillon used to put me in these moods, and then he'd be the only person i wanted to see, which would make it worse because i always knew it wouldn't happen.
i don't know if i've already told you, but i'm over dillon. sure, i still hold a little anger in me towards him, and sure, i still care about him. but when i'm upset, he's no longer the first person i want to talk to. i no longer use his hoodie as a security blanket, or read over those silly letters we once wrote back and forth, or the old IMs i had saved. i'm over him, as much as i can be. i confirmed it the other night, cuz i looked at a picture of him and kristen. and i didn't get a feeling of "god, i need him" when i looked at him or "god, i wish i was her" when i looked at her. i looked at them together, and i was happy for him. i'm proud of myself for it. i finally got over it, and steve is mostly to thank for it.

-caty

dear caty,
i feel like having a "birthday party" sounds really stupid and childish. i think we should call it something else. like... idk. but something else lol. im glad danny wants to come. i wasnt sure if it would be weird but i was thinking i needed more boys instead of just chandler or something so i was like "ohh caty and jess know them so its not like nobody will know them!" so yeahh. and is steve coming? i think he shold. i think if you two talk and spend time having fun without all of your usual friends maybe things will be better.
im in english right now. i had to type up an essay and im done now lol. oh and guess what! i have an A+ in chemistry! 105% isnt that amazing!? im so proud of myself haha. oh and i have TWO midterms on my birthday :[ maybe we could hang out during midterm week? let me know what your schedule looks like.
another thing you should be proud of me for... im reading! like a book! lol its called Go Ask Alice. idk if you've heard of it or read it but sophie said she read it. its a good book. and yeahh. my class is gonna be over in a few minutes so this is all for now i guess.
i hope everything with you and steve gets better! ihy!

-danaa

dear danerzzz,
while i read your letter, danny was sitting next to me and i said "danny, dana wants to know if you want to go to her birthday party. we're going bowling!" and he jumped for joy(we were in school) and said he wants to go! so danny's coming to your birthday party. and of course, that's the greatest present of all, isn't it? almost as good as the flashlight i'm getting you.
i'm in spanish again, writing to you. and i'm really tired and cranky today. cuz i'm having issues with steve. >.<
which you already knew from reading my blog. but yeah, he's a major flirt, and it really bothers me and makes me insecure after all the shit with dillon. so i should probably talk to him about it. but i haven't. instead, i've been on edge and snapping at him all week. and as much as it pains me to say this, yesterday was a welcome break from him because he just makes me upset lately.
yesterday, i spent with danny, jeff, craig and sophie. me and the three boys spent about an hour sitting in a third floor hallway on the windowsill, listening to craig's laptop, waiting for sophie and steve to get out of their various club-meetings. sophie met us in this mean lady's classroom at about three, but steve knew where we were and when he got done with his meeting, decided to just go home instead of meet us. and we ended up waiitingggg for him. ugh. but we went to stromboli's and got pizza so it was okay. :D
how are youuuu?

-catyy

dear caty,
im in spanish right now. <--- fail. im actually in computers. i typed spanish because i was thinking spanish because you just said you were in spanish. haha. anywho yeah chanlders pretty lame. and no its not mean for you to hate him cuz... its not your fault hes annoying and stupid. and he texted me yesterday asking if you hated him im like idk ask her and hes like she lost her phone im like go on facebook and he was like can you ask her im like how hes like facebook im like no lol. anywho run on sentence much? lol so yeah and i told him i wanted us to be a cute couple like you and steve and so thats probably where he got the idea of you and steve from. and yes your picture is soooo adorable!! i love it!

dear dana,
i'm in spanish right now. cuz i'm the only one who knows how to do work, i'm finished so i'm writing this to you.
your lunches sound really awkward, and i'm sorry everyone's so weird >.< so chandler like...im'ed me last night and was like "do you hate me?" and i'm like "no. why?" even though i think he's stupid and annoying so i guess it could be said that i hate him. is that mean?
[sidenote: a kid in my class just yelled at me "stop writin letters." <---that was gonna be in caps, but he can see it. lol.]
anyway, channy's annoying. and he was like "i'm jealous of people in successful relationships" and i was like "like who?" and he's like "like yours." and i'm like "but you've never even seen my relationship." even though, me and steve are cute. just look at my profile picture :D and he was being all lame like "i wish me and dana worked out like that but too late." and i stopped talking to him cuz he's lame.
uhm...i see you got your charger back. that's good. i forgot to tell gma where it was, but she found it easily! i guess she's not getting too old after all :D
so....so...so....oh! this lady at my mommy's work is russian, and she's really annoying but really nice. so she gave my mommy some russian candy that came from the russian store[we have a russian store. we're gonna go to it now that we know about it.] and i was afraid to eat it so i made steve eat it. and there was a cherry chocolate one, and a lemon chocolate bar. they were really...really good. ferrealzys.
so...i'm done now. byeeee!

dear caty,
no i would not like a flashlight for my birthday hahah. im in school right now and today hasnt been that bad. i didnt get like any sleep last night and i have no clue why. im switching my math class soon to be in geometry and trig. im kinda like you. it depends on which class im in if im being social or not. in my english class i am always being social. i love the few people i sit by and i adore my teacher. in classes like global, math, computers, and art i stay quiet the whole time. btw i lied. my art project was not finished. we did mud painting on a cloth and then acrylic painting over that. and we had to wash the acrylic paint out and stuff. so i just washed it out today and wednesday i will see the final piece. its pink :]
lunch was ok today. at first it was awkward for me because they were talking about how much they weighed. it was chandler, DJ, asha, and veronica. they are all like really skinny. so i was just sitting there quiet. then i took chandlers hat and he gave me a dollar to give it back to him hahah. and whenever he reached for it DJ was all "oh you just wanna touch her boobs." oh and chandler was like pretending to jack off and he made this face and DJ was like no guys make that face and im like well he does.... not that id know! and DJ was like woahhh. hahahah but seriously i wouldnt know... ive never seen him jack off. lol so yeahh. lunch was kinda fun todayy.
and i dont want to quit flute. i love playing. just not with the teacher i have. i want mr parisi backkk! anywhooo... yeah i totally would fail at yoyoing. id like kill myself from hitting myself in the face with it so many times. haha. anddd idk lol. byee

dear dana,

i'm sorry you can't use your phone as a flashlight. would you like a real flashlight for your birthday? and i'm also sorry you hate sleeping at your own house. it's okay though. i hate sleeping at my house too...and yours. :p

we have 11 hours until we have to go back to school, and i'm dreading it. i'm not looking forward to anything. not seeing any teachers, not any classes, not even seeing my little buddy, carlos! plus i have gym which equals major suck. plus school has lunch, and like you, i hate lunch. i'm not a social person during the day. i duck my head in class and do all the goddamn work they hand me. i don't talk till 2 p.m., thank you very much. thank god, i'm dropping lunch next year.

maybe, if you quit playing flute, you can take up a new hobby...like....idk. i'm stumped. what else could you do that's cool instead of play the flute? you could....haha....YOYO! yeah, that'd make you the coolest person on the block.

anyway, i've done nothing since everyone left on friday. i've felt like crap and i've been really freaking tired and now...i have to go to school in the morning! ugh. kill. me. now.

please.

dear caty,
i would love to participate in your list or whatsits. hmmm... i dont know anything we should do yet thoughh. ill think of something. im sorry my letter meant nothing to you! i had like nothing to say because as you said i just saw you!
my phone is dead now because i left my charger at your house. i thought i could live without it but i just cant. but not because i cant text people! last night i was up until 2am and i was going upstairs and it was sooo dark i couldnt see anything! normally if i had my phone id use it as a light to see where i was going. plus im afraid of the dark. like no joke. lol so my phone would have been useful. also this morning i woke up and didnt have my phone to tell me the time. i always need to know what time it is. and so when i went downstairs and actually saw the time it was 1:30pm! which means i slept for way longer then planned. and this is why i need my phone.
ive realized that i like sleeping at other places rather than my own house. if i could i would spend the night at peoples houses every night. the only time id rather be home is if i was sick or on my period and have cramps or something. for the past 3 nights i havnt slept at my house. first i was at your house, then zoes, and now my dads. but tonight i will sleep in my own bed because i have school in the morning.
i do not want to go back to school. sadly the only things i miss are a few of my teachers. i dont miss any of the kids or the work. like my english teacher... the one im going to adopt haha yeah i miss his funny corny jokes that i laugh at while nobody else is listening. and my global teacher who isnt afraid to curse or make fun of students. and my art teacher who is just awesome. and i finished an art project before break and im excited to see what it looks like! because it was wet from paint when i finished. i think my least favorite class is lunch. which is really sad. normally people love lunch. and i went from a lunch where i sat with only aracelis to a lunch where i sat with a bunch of people. and i wish i could go back to sitting with just aracelis. another thing which really pisses me off is that i absolutely hate band this year. the kids and the teacher just suck. it makes me sad because i really loved band last year and now i kinda want to quit. but i dont want to because me playing the flute makes my dad proud of me. and ive quit so many things when i was younger and i dont want to quit another thing.
anywho... im really in the mood to go run outside and make a snow man! but its getting a little dark and im not sure when dindin is gonna be ready or when im going to go home. i think i may just have to though lol. ahh neverminddd. my daddy said its not packable snow. so it wouldnt work :[ that makes me sad.
anywhooo this is kinda a long letter lol. i think ill stop now. byee!

-dana

p.s. my last letter fails because it says december 13th but i totally wrote it december 31st. or januaru 1st. im not suree.

dear dana,
that letter had absolutely no substance whatsoever. i want a redo!! that was a lame excuse for a letter and you should be shunned for it.
anyway, it's 2010. and it's starting to sink in that it's 2010. i like the feeling that we're all starting something new, in some way.
so for this new year, i'm making a bucket list. ya know, a list of things i wanna get done before the end of the year. [i'm also going to make a decade one, but that'll take longer.] and i have a rule that anyone who contributes to the list gets to participate in the list. so do you wanna participate?
me and danny started the list with 1) have an all-night adventure and 2) build a sandcastle big enough to fit in. :]
this letter's really short. and i'm sorry, but i have nothing to update on cuz i just saw you!
