Today I was continuing my attempts to pack and I opened my green box that I keep my most treasured possessions. I came by the journal I starting at the beginning of grade nine and flopped down in my bed and spent about almost an hour rereading the whole journal. wl was on the phone with me the whole time and I was reading out sections to him. We were laughing so much. When I get a chance I will take out some quotes. As I read what I wrote I remember so clearly once again the details of that day and moment. If it were not for the written reminders I think such priceless memories will forever be buried and eventually forgotten in my memory somewhere. This is why I write journals: to be able to read and laugh at the funny moments and just smile at the sad ones knowing it's simply just a part of the past.
So some funny moments:
1. How I was scared for the choir auditions in grade nine.

2. How tt dragged al out into that hallway between the cafeteria and health room so that al can _____________________ (hahaha, love you loads al, but there were just so many moments involving you that made me LOL)
3. How al sent me a halloween-o-gram in grade nine and when I recieved it in geo zr, am, and ap starting ouu-ing and ahing so loud that mr. baker had to hush them

4. the year after mine's LIT camping trip: wq asked al to go get a spatula from the food tent and al came out with a pot OR when al was about to pour water on cut pieces of watermelon cause he wanted to "wash them" (disclaimer: im not sure these are real facts, but its according to tt)
5. cute memories with js
6. laughing at the entries where i called ____ my friend cause both wl and i know its no longer the case
7. laughing at how i was stressing out for December exams in GRADE 9!!
8. laughing at how i somehow got 60% on my BTT test
9. sighing at all the bitching i got from al's friends for not taking his perfume in grade nine (people, TELL me you remember this and can't help but laugh/smile or go 'oh god')
It was fun reading my journals!!
I bet I'll have the same joy when I reread my blog posts in due time.
