Life lessons from my high school diary.

On Family:

"I need to be less rude to my parents. It's my worst habit. Other than not wearing my retainer."

On Vocabulary:

"It's an analogy. Have you ever noticed there's the word anal in that?"

On Responsibility:

"So I got this 50 dollar bill today, and at some point I got up and left it sitting on the table. Mom and Cindy decided to teach me a 'responsibility lesson' by hiding it from me. When I finally found it, I went back downstairs and like an hour later I realized I didn't have the money. So I start frantically searching for it and freaking out. Then Cindy comes up to me, reaches in my shirt, and pulls the bill out of my bra. I put it there after I lost it the first time so I wouldn't lose it again. I feel like such an idiot."

On Education:

"High school is just a big fat suffering contest."

On Spelling:

"Definately [sic]."

On Priorities:

"What's something I want to be remembered for when I die? That I had good taste in music."

On Friendship:

"I want to slap her every time she talks about him. Which is all the time"

On Setting Goals:

"Well I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I don't screw this up!" (October 21, 2007)

"So I may have screwed this up." (October 23, 2007)

On Dating:

"Never kiss a guy who, at any point in his life, has had a mullet and/or rattail."

On Humility:

"Sometimes I wish I could be really selfish. Because people who are selfish always get exactly what they want, and they don't even feel bad about it. Haha. Sucks to be such a good person."
