Dear diary, September 6, 07

I am really sorry that I haven’t written in here in a long time. I know I should. Especially since I am trying to pay for my college education with this site. And my father wrote an article asking to send money to go towards saving money for college. I want to go to Stanford. And I know it is going to be an expensive school to go to but I am going to work hard this year to hopefully get a scholarship. That is why I haven’t written in here for a while. But I guess that means I have a lot to say. Well I went to the football game yesterday. It was really fun. I brought my two friends Erica and Katie. Since they live really close to me. I was really mad at Erica because as soon as we got to the game I wanted to cheer on one of my friends that is a cheer leader! So I went and said hi to her then I went right back to Katie and Erica, then Erica wanted to go down the ramp to see her friend Harlie but me and Katie just wanted to sit down and watch the game. So me and Katie stayed right in front of the ramp while Erica went and said hi to Harlie. Then as soon as Erica came back she wanted to go up to the very top of the bleachers to sit with HER friend Elani but me and Katie are not friends with Elani. So we didn’t want to go up there but we did just to be nice and we didn’t really have a preference so we went up there. Erica sat next to Elani and me and Katie sat next to each other. Then out of no where Erica turns to us and says she wants to leave. Then I started to get mad because she is the one that wanted to go up there in the first place and I didn’t feel like going all over the stadium. So me and Katie followed Erica all the way down the bleachers then at the very bottom I was waiting on Erica to sit down somewhere because I figured she would have somewhere to go since she wanted to leave the top of the bleachers. So I asked we were following you Erica, where do you want to go? I said it kind of mean because I was sick of being expected to follow her around like a puppy dog. So then she got mad at me gave me a dirty look and asked me why are you getting all mad at me? I just told her I wasn’t mad at her because I was hoping that after we sat down it would get all better. But no it did not get better. We sat down and right away Erica gets up and leaves me and Katie. She said she was going to be right back but she didn’t come back for about 15 minutes. 15 minutes doesn’t seem like a long time but when it is only a 2 hour game that is a 8^th of the time. So she came back and two minutes later she left again. She was up sitting with HER friend Elani. So even if me and Katie wanted to go up there we would feel uncomfortable. It wasn’t like me and Katie were loners we had a lot of our friends around us but I didn’t come to the game with those people I came with Erica and Katie. Erica and Katie were the people I wanted to be at the game with. So Erica was gone for about an hour before Katie decides to text her on my phone. Katie said are you ever going to come see us again? And Erica just was making excuses for why she didn’t want to be us. So I just told Katie to tell her at least enjoy the people she is with. But I think Erica felt bad because she said she is sorry if we felt like she ditched us. Which isn’t a real apology because we didn’t feel that she ditched us, the truth is that she DID ditch us. What made me even more mad was when it came time to leave I couldn’t find Erica! Because I hadn’t seen her in more than an hour I had no idea where she was. So me and Katie went looking for her, and we found her and she said she was getting a ride from her brother! Which it would have been nice if she told me before we had to leave that very moment! So I wasted all that time looking for her, for nothing. Well I guess it was good that I didn’t give a ride home because I was really mad at her, I might have said something to her and I would rather just be like whatever. I have been getting really tired of her attitude, acting like she is better and smarted than everyone. I think that she likes the feeling of being fought over. that’s why I told Katie to stop giving her attention because she probably like a couple asking her to come be with them. And I bet she was telling the people she was with that we were being mean to her and that we hated her and stuff like that. In fact I know she did because my friend Niko came up to me asking if I was mad at Erica. I told him kind of. But I want to be her friend but I don’t want to have to put up with getting mad at her so often. I am not going to follow her around like a puppy and then have her ditch me when I brought her to the game! It was kind of like the other day I was going to buy her a little something for lunch. I only had a dollar so I was also going to have something small. As we were standing in line for lunch I was telling her a story about some random thing and she interrupts me to tell me that she is going to go sit down. I was shocked because I was right in the middle of a sentence, so that showed she wasn’t listening to me and she didn’t care about me. I said do you still want me to buy you something? She said yeah. But I couldn’t help saying so I am supposed to stand and wait in line to buy you something while you get to go sit down relax and have some fun talking to all our friends. And she couldn’t even wait five minutes waiting in line with me. I felt like just saying forget you! So she said I cant stay in one place for a long time. But I have been her friend for three years and I know that is a lie. She was just making up excuses to go away. But I have another friend that stood there with me. Her name is Chelsey. She has been my friend for five years and she is awesome I love that chica. But I could not believe I am expected to do things for a friend that cant wait in line for five minutes with me. Well the final score at the football game was 43 to 25. We kicked butt! I like going to the games this year because I know all the football players. Last year I went to all the home games but just to see my friends because I didn’t know any of the football players. it’s a lot of fun to go! I have had a lot of work to do in school but I think I am doing good because at least I am doing it and not just saying oh well. I bought a whole bunch of new songs on itunes. Plus I got three music videos and another movie. I have a video ipod. Its really cool because when I am on the road I can watch a movie or a music video. Well now I have two of my favorite movies on my ipod, The Hot Chick and Pirates of the Carribean: the Curse Of The Black Pearl. Oh my goodness the coolest thing happened! We finally got concrete in our backyard around our pool! It looks so awesome! I am so excited, because I want to have a pool party with a lot of people invited to celebrate such an awesome pool! But when I asked my mom she said I can only have 3 people come over. I want more than that! But maybe I will have to wait for my birthday. I hope not but I will keep asking my mom! It just looks so great out there and I want to show it off! I went to the movies and saw the Bourne Ultimatum. I liked all the action the story was really slow though. The first two movie were a hit because of the action to this time they only pretty much only had action. But I liked it but it gave me a headache from the camera angles. My parents didn’t like it at all. Well that was pretty much my week!

Love,

Tayler!
