I don’t have any entries for the 20th so I’m going backwards to two posts that I found.

OK I went to YNO [Youth Night Out – an outing we did once a month or so with our youth group] last night and I met C. He’s from Germany and has been living here for three years. At first when I met him, I was running all over the place. Then I told S I wanted to meet him, but I was nervous. She said to “go ahead, girl.” So I did. We just talked at first, then I told L I want to go watch the game (basketball finals) but no one would. So she told C to. He agreed and we went downstairs, but the game was over , so we went back upstairs. Wait, wait, wait. Before that, I told him he reminded me of AA [another guy in the youth group] and he didn’t know who he was, so I took him to AA. He said he didn’t look like him. Anyway, after the bus left, we had a pillow fight (Me & J) Then J, S and C were sitting on the couch, and Josh told me to come sit down. I sat right between (very closely) J&C. (C&J are very good friends). Then I got J to show me how to tie a tie, then C to show me, then JS. It was time to go, so we (S, C, me L, J, J, S, and C) went outside. We were saying goodbye to everybody and all the girls were shaking C’s hand & saying “It was nice to meet you” But I said it too and gave him a hug. So we left. I really like him, but I will probably never see him again. He invited me to his party, (birthday – he’ll be 15) but I can’t go because of church (Wednesday). On Thurs. the youth group is going to Carowinds and I am leaving for Penn. and plus he said he wasn’t going. So, I will just have to find somebody else. Today I went to Carowinds with Heather, J, J, M, L and S. It was fun except that J kept following me around, walking beside me. So he likes me [of course he does if he walked beside me]. I wanted to know more about C from J but that was kicked out the door. I really want to call him, but I’m to nervous; I wouldn’t know what to say. He probably doesn’t even remember me – or at least care about me. It’s not fair! I have to admit, S was right, it’s just a crush.

PS I keep thinking about him! All the time

Yesterday morning I got a phone call. I said, “Hello”
“Is Amy there?”
“This is she.”
“This is C, I’m at Carowinds and wanted to see if you wanted to come.”
I about had a cow. Of course my mom wasn’t home. I told him that and he said to get a ride with L, so I did. But when it came time to go, I was worried that Mom would get upset if I didn’t ask her if I could go. So I stayed home. Two minutes after L left, Mom pulls in the driveway I ask her if I can go, I wash the dishes and I’m off. I told J I’d meet them at 2:00 at Sundae Isle. It was 2:05 and I was at Sundae Isle, I don’t see them. They (J, C, L and N) said if I wasn’t there at 2:00 then they would know that I couldn’t go. So I go back to the front gate to call home, and I see them. So we head to the og flume J, L and N sit down first. There is No room left. So C&I have a boat to ourselves. So I sit in the very front I get soaked. Well, we go on to Rip Roarin Rapids. I sit with him and we ride it 3 times in a row. Then we go to that indoor thing, I sit beside him. the deal is over and we walk out. So then I get a strawbery coler. Everybody goes on White Water Falls except me. Then we go on Meteorite and I sit with him. Then – no first we went on the swings. Then we go to the front gate because C has to leave. Everybody shakes his hand but me and we hug. The rest of th etime is not worth telling. then to the party. All we did was swim, eat pizza, play Trivial Pursuit and swim again. Today all I did was get my stuff together for Penn. We’re running errands right now and we’re at the car shop getting the car polished. Well, better go!

What you should know now:
I don’t remember ever seeing C again and he doesn’t seem to be mentioned in my journal again. “Summer lovin, had me a blast” lol
These journal entries are cracking me up. I have my old college journals – they are in our guest room as I always keep them close so I don’t lose them. Maybe I should whip those out and post a couple things. Because college journals are just as funny (read: melodramatic) as high school journals!!
I know, it’s hilarious to read except it’s ridiculous that somehow all I could think about was boys! I feel a little shallow but I guess that’s the way all teenagers were/are.
You should definitely post your old stuff–at least I won’t be the only posting such dark secrets like when boys walked beside you!
