Camp Eli

Well, this pretty much sums up my romantic life.

November 6, 1999

Hi! So much has happened! On Thurs Oct 28 my mom and dad went to the cottage. Lauren and I had the house. (note: I hope you’re all excited for what comes next.)

After school I must of had 13-15 people at my house until 4:30pm then there was only 7 people (note: shit. clearly the cool people went home). We watched The Exorcist. For dinner we walked to Gino’s then came home. I had *Brian, *Steve, *Adam, *Rhonda and *Alexis in my room (*Jack left) *Brian was acting like he liked me! He kept sitting on me and slapping my ass! (note: why do men still think this is cute? ) We decided to play spin the bottle. I pecked *Steve/*Adam and *Brian. Then *Alexis thought we should go in the spare bedroom and really kiss like french open mouth! (note: what a slut!). 

It was my turn to spin, it hit *Brian so we kissed! My first kiss! I cannot say real cause it didn’t mean anything (note: does that rule still count?). At the beginning I thought it did because he said I was a good kisser and still acted like he liked me! Then on Saturday he totally avoided me and acted as though nothing happened! So you could say I have never REALLY kissed but at least I got some practice! (note: I’m cray cray). On Saturday mom and dad came home, nothing happened. On Sunday it was Halloween. I did go trick or treating and I had fun.

Write to you soon, Morgan

P.S. Cousins are coming up on the 24th of November! Yea!

P.S. Before I like *Joel I was obsessed with *Jack. (note: Who the fuck is Joel??)

Saturday, March 11, 2000

Wow! Have I been busy or what! (note: this better be good). Well let’s start with Christmas —>  I got lots of cool things, cousins from NJ came up for x-mas and new years! Y2K my ass. Nothing happened! Well, during the x-mas break I started to like *Joel (note: ahhh *Joel - here we go) but so did my fried *Alexis. Well in the end *Joel kissed *Alexis at New Years and they went out for like 1 month (I was better off!).

I finally got a boyfriend! His name was *Doug (note: was? That clearly didn’t last long!). I met him through *Joel, and well it lasted for a month. (note: I saw this boy years later and his hair was green and he was wearing a kilt…clearly not my type in the end). At the beginning I liked him, then I loved him, then I hated him. He was so annoying! (note: pattern of every relationship - ha!) 

Well now we are up to Feb 4. Schools great and well let’s jump ahead to Knights (a dance). When *Rachel (BF) (note: this means best friend) and I both like *Doug. Well he hasn’t asked either of us out yet, but we can still dream! (note: this can’t end well for one of us…most likely me). 

Now the reason I have so much time on my hand to write in you (note: other than the fact I’m 13!) if cause I am GROUNDED. If you are my daughter, son, niece or nephew please put this down!! Well as you know I am turning 14 in June. Now last summer my sister had some parties while we were at the cottage and got caught!! (note: this are still discussed at dinners and will forever be named “the incident”) 

Well I guess she inspired me cause last night my parents went to TORONTO for dinner and Lauren (sis) said I was allowed to have 10 friends over so obviously I was overjoyed!

Invites: *Rachel (bf), *Alexis, *Doug (heart drawn here), *Adam, *Anthony, *Samantha, *Allison, *Faye, *Steve.

Well it started at 7:30 and well it was busy!! They were in my room at one point throwing my underwear around! (note: this is something I definitely loved). They were walking across my pool cover! Then *Adam and *Steve threw pudding cups at my neighbours house! Well we were all still having fun then my neighbour came to the door and said when my friends came over they threw pudding at his house and that they have to come over tomorrow and clean it!! Well then I told my sister and she made *Anthony, *Doug, *Adam, and *Steve go over and apologize (note: this is called nothing and is never discussed at family dinners). 

Well (note: holy shit! If I say WELL one more time I’m going to explode) after that I knew I was busted but then as if things couldn’t of gotten worse my parents walked in the door while my friends and I were chillin’ in the KITCHEN! Everyone had to leave after that and boy did I get lectures about the —> pudding, pool cover and abusing there trust in me .

Well (note: I just exploded) as if the lectures weren’t bad enough this morning *Steve and I had to clean the pudding! 

My punishment —> no sleepovers for 1 month —> no guys in the house at all (1 month) —>no girls in the house while my parents are out (for a month) 

Well that’s about it oh! and the sweetie *Doug is he phoned me last night but my parents hadn’t finished lecturing me yet, so I couldn’t talk!!

So that’s how I started off my march break!! Tomorrow I’m going to *Lucy’s house till Wed. That’ll be fun! I’ll promise to write more now! 

Love Always Morgan

Thursday, March 16, 2000

Hello! Well like what happened with *Joel is happened again! Yup! You guessed it *Doug likes *Rachel! Yesterday we were all at *Jane’s house and everyone was bugging *Rachel if she liked *Doug and to go and make-out with him! Well (note: I’ve decided I write “Well” a lot when I’m passionate/ragey) just stood there trying not to cry! Well I am trying to stop liking him but it’s soooo hard! Well let’s get off the topic of *Doug please!

I had so much fun at *Lucy’s house! We went downtown to shop and I found my grad dress! It’s tight purple/mauve (note: everybody’s dress was this colour), long a little fluffy, it has a criss cross back with little flowers on the middle of each criss cross. (note: I will post a photo of this. I promise!) The next day we went to another mall, then we rented Bats, Lake Placid, and The Deep Blue Sea! I mean now I’m scared of bats, crocodiles and sharks! (note: Lucy still gets scared swimming in the lake and night). Well tomorrow I’m going to the movies (note: everyone went to the movies but no one actually saw a movie. We loitered in the plaza like good suburbia kids do). We’ll see what happens with *Doug, *Rachel and I!

Love you! Bye!

P.S. At school we are doing the place Alice in Wonderland and I am the Queen of Hearts! It’s the roll I wanted too! My ambition is to become an actress!

P.P.S. If you’re wondering what happened with *Joel it’s me and *Alexis both liked him and he chose to kiss *Alexis! (note: I’m pretty sure I already explained this…I should let it go)

NOTE: This is the last entry of my grade 7-8 diary. The entries from now on will be taken from my high school diary. 

Summer Lovin’ (13 year old style)

Sunday, August 1, 1999

Hey! My summer’s going great! I’ve had so much fun. It all started yesterday when *Lucy came to the cottage. We slept over at her place. We stole a cigar and smoked it. (We as in *Cecelia (she came up with me) *Lucy and I) (Note: Yes I just double bracketed something. Deal with it.) We also took a cup of Whisky. Drank that and then I stole a beer. We were totally BUZZED! (note: words cannot express how proud I am of my 13 year old self right now)

Today Lauren (sister) (Thank you so much for clarifying that past Morgan!) came up. We drove to Whites Falls with *Robert, *Lucy, *Cecelia, Lauren and I. *Robert, Lauren and I all jumped off the bridge. (note: I’m really proud of my sister for doing this!) We had a blast! Now we all had dinner at my cottage. Tonight we are sleeping at *Lucy’s. 

Till next time!

Bye

September 6, 1999

My summer of 1999 has come to a close. I start school tomorrow! Total bummer. It’s raining outside at 10:10pm. I think that’s a bad omen! (note: I’m dramatic and precise with time. Amazing.) 

Anywho next time I write I’m telling you how my summer went and my 1st day of school.

I better not stay up too late.

Bye!

September 29, 1999

Hello!

Grade 8 is so fun!! Right now I have a crush on *Jack. He’s tall with brown eyes. 

My summer was fun but nothing to write about. My teacher Mlle Griffo is really nice. My math teacher looks like he is about to have a heart attack! (note: To this day I still hate him)  My gym teacher Mr. Yorke favors people and it’s not me!! My science teacher carries a whistle!

Anyways I can’t wait till the Halloween dance. I’ll ask *Jack to slow dance!!

I better go!

Bye

Friday October 16 1999

Today was fun but sad also. It is sad because my friend *Rachel is going away for 2 weeks to London England. 

The fun part of today was when we were in the ravine at lunch. (note: going to the ravine at lunch is bad ass) There was me and (list of seven other people…) We had to jump over this creek so *Jack went first and helped everyone else across. He is so sweet! 

I hope my week-ends just as good as today! 

Morgan. 

Teaser for next entry: Parents go away to the cottage and big things happen at home!

End of school & Grade 8 anticipation.

Thursday, June 24, 1999

Hi! Sorry I haven’t written in a while. Nothing really happened. My birthday was cool. 

Lately I have been riding bikes with *Sally and *Liz. I have vowed to move more and eat better this summer cause I think I’m chubby. (Note: I sound like a body break commercial! Jesus). 

I can’t believe it. School ends next Wednesday. I’m so excited!

This weekend *Mary is coming down. We are going to Waterfront Festival together. (Most pre-teens would be getting intoxicated at this event, but I’m not that kind of cool. I went to waterfront and just walked around like a loser)

Last weekend *Sally and *Rhonda and I saw Austin Powers 2! It’s so funny. There was a kid in the theater that said he had 84 warts on his hand! EWWW! (Note: That’s absolutely disgusting. Why am I talking to wart people??)

Anywho gotta go bye!

p.s. I’ll write back soon promise! (Do I have diary guilt?)

Friday, June 25, 1999

Hi! Today after school I went to the washroom and I got my PERIOD! Can you believe it? 13 years old. (Note: I’ll never understand why I was excited about this. 13 year-old girls should cry when they get their periods! It’s awful!)

I went to see Austin Powers 2 again tonight. It’s still funny. 

Tomorrow *Mary is coming. We’re going to Waterfront. I’ll tell you about it tomorrow!

Bye. Ta-Ta. Au-revoir.

Morgan

Sunday, June 27, 1999

Hi my weekend was a blast! *Mary came on Sat. morning. We went straight to waterfront. Rode some rides than decided to come home and swim. We watched the following movies:

-Dearly Devoted (note: I have no idea what this is about)
-Pretty Woman
-Austin Powers (note: It’s clear I’m in a Mike Meyers stage - weird)
-Bride of Chucky

*Mary slept over then left the following afternoon.

I had my friend *Julie over that afternoon. We just hung out. (Note: Julie sounds like a loser)

I promise myself that I will not be like my sister. She puts my parents through so much grief. (Note: This resentment is because I constantly had to listen to my parents bitch about her and her bad friends)

Anyways I only have 3 days of school left!! I’m so siked. (Note: I am trying to spell the word psyched)

Bye

p.s. Probably write back tomorrow or Tuesday (I definitely have diary guilt)

Tuesday, June 29, 1999 

Today was fun. I was in the choir for for the Gr. 8 Grad. It looked so fun! 

About 1 year from today I will be at my Gr. 8 grad dance! We will be the class of the year 2000! Tomorrow’s the last day of school. 

Bye!

Wednesday, June 30, 1999

I’m finally done school!! I was crying. (Note: I was probably fake crying because everyone else was crying). All the Gr. 8’s were crying cause their leaving. I hugged everyone about 1,000,000,000 times. (DRAMATIC!) 

I can’t wait till I graduate next year. Gr. 8 looks really fun. 

I’m going to my cottage tomorrow. *Mary and her family are going up so we’ll see them. 

Till next time!

Morgan

Birthday Planning…

April 28, 1999

For my b-day we are renting a pool hall and party room. I’m inviting 36 people including me. 

Ta-Ta 

(note: I have no interest in pool…but what a cool idea! Good job mom)

May 15, 1999

Sorry I haven’t written in a long time. The play was a success. I had so much fun doing it. 

Tomorrow *Rhonda, *Liz and *Samantha and I are going to Canada’s Wonderland without parents!! I’m going to go on Top Gun!! (note: there is a circle underneath the exclamation points to insenuate that I’m scared…also don’t you hate that it’s called Flight Deck now? Ugh). 

For my b-day we are going to the Avalon (remember??) to shoot pool! I’m inviting 38 people including me!! It’s SO CLOSE!!! (This is looking like an episode of super sweet 16…)

My sister has a new boyfriend *John. He’s cool. (I’m sure she was happy to have my input. note: my sister is 4 years older than me)

Me and *Rhonda are still best buds. (super cute!)

I DO NOT LIKE *DYLAN! (Whoa! Relax past Morgan…you already told us that) if I had to like someone it would be *Josh.

May 17, 1999

Canada’s Wonderland was a bust! I spent the day barfing! *Liz was sick too! So *Rhonda and *Samantha didn’t go. 

I stayed home from school today!! I watched T.V. (Shows I loved when I was 12: Price is Right and Days of our Lives) I’m probably going back to school tomorrow. 

Better go to sleep. 

Bye!!

May 19, 1999

I’m all better now! Went to school Tuesday afternoon. 

This weekend is going to be a blast!! (Can everyone start saying blast again?) We’ll start with Friday after school. Get *Jane’s present. Pack for cottage. 5:30 go to *Jane’s party. 7:30 get picked up to go to cottage!! (Honestly how can any of my friends get mad at me for being a planner? Look at how bad I was at the age of 12!!)

Lauren’s bringing *Josh. I’m bringing *Samantha.

Cottage —-> Monday come home!! (Note: This is how I’m spending May 2-4)

Tomorrow I’m handing out my b-day invites!!!!! 

BYE!!!!!

June 1, 1999

Sorry I haven’t written in a while I have been super busy! (This means I have lots of play dates and sleep overs) *Jane’s party was fun. The cottage was a blast. My sisters boyfriend *Josh would always come when she called him so when ever he went me and my friend *Samantha barked at him. It was funny. (Wow…first off, kudos to my sister for having a whipped boyfriend at the age of 16! Second off, I am the definition of an annoying little sister) I fell in the LAKE!! I’m a CLUTZ! (I actually love this because I love attention).

My fav song is on the radio Praise You —> Fatboy Slim. It’s cool (I loved this music video. First flash mob I ever saw)

My birthday is all set. Saturday June 5 4:00-7:30 at the Avalon. (May I just say I can’t believe my mother planned this. I will be an awful mother) *Mary is coming down to my house after and sleeping over. 

I bet you are wondering what I look like with short hair LOOK! (Will post this after. Stay tuned)

I got 74% on my history test. Pretty good compared to my last one. (That’s it past Morgan - glass half full)

My teacher Mme. *way too hot to be a teacher is pregnant!! She has some mood swings not many. (This is how a 12 year old views pregnancy - mood swings HA!)

I think that’s all! 

Bye for now!

Short Hair and Bad Attitudes

Date is smudged out due to water damage.

I went shopping with mom and Lauren. I bought a white top, black and white bathing suit and black sandals. I’m wearing the sandals tomorrow if weather permits (why does it feel like those are my mother’s words…) Today was normal. On N64 I have 47 starts all by myself! (note: I was really bad at N64 so this probably took me a year)

Bye!

P.S. I still like *Dylan (heart drawn around his name)

Date is still smudgey

I cut my hair short! (Note: I brought a picture of Jenna Elfman from Dharma and Greg - yeah I’m that cool). I have a history test on Fri. and *Julie’s B-day party. I’m not sure about if I like *Dylan anymore. He is growing an attitude! (I really wish I was more descriptive about this shit - I want more details!)

Bye!! (exclamations have a smiley face)

April 27, 1999

I was right about *Dylan. Not so much an attitude but we’re not good friends anymore. (note: we were probably never good friends)

Our play is on May 5!! It’s so close. I’m excited.

Last weekend it was *Julie’s party! She had a disco ball! (note: this party was in her basement…not a night club) I danced (slow) with *John M. (friend).

Speaking of parties I am probably going to rent a hall and DANCE! for my party. (June 5) (Again…thank you past Morgan for reminding me when my birthday is!)

Bye!

P.S. I DON’T LIKE *DYLAN! (Dylan is in actual BLOCK letters)

The Boys Washroom.

March 27, 1999

I babysat for the Kruitwagon’s . It was fun. I made $30.00! After I baby sat I went to *Rhonda’s. Then I came home. I got Dad to take me to Baskin Robin’s. I got a 2 scoop World Class Chocolate (vanilla + chocolate) waffle cone. (note: This was a ritual my dad and I had. I still love world class chocolate. It’s a classic flavour and I encourage all of you to try it)

Now it’s 10:34pm (34? Why not 35 or 30? This is getting embarrassing…) I am very tired. 

Good night!

March 29, 1999

Today we got report cards! I did good (clearly not in english) my lowest mark was 72% highest was 90%. 

I got in a fight with *Liz. It’s really stupid. 

Anywho I best be getting in bed!

Toodle-loo

April 8, 1999

Sorry I haven’t written in so long. Today was cool (note: I’m going to start describing my present days as “cool”. It’s just so cool). At the beginning of the book I was talking about the horse I ride Nutmeg. She died about 3 or 4 days ago (Am I even sad??)  I had to ride a horse called Nifty. He’s cool. I went to *Samantha’s dance recital this evening with *Alison. Ticket —-> (ticket is taped to the adjacent page) 

During intermission me and *Alison walked over to Second Cup. I had a great time. 

I best be getting to bed!

Bye!! (smiley face under !!)

P.S. Going to *Rhonda’s tomorrow for a sleepover! (note: I fucking miss sleepovers)

P.P.S.S. I saw *Dylan’s boxers!!

April 10, 1999

Yesterday at school me and my friend *Ashley were putting up flyers. We wanted to put one in the boys washroom so we got *Dylan! He went in and told us to come in because no one was there but him. SO WE WENT IN THE BOYS WASHROOM! (Is this really that big of a deal? Present Morgan goes to pee in the mens room all the time when there are lines…) 

After school I went to Rhonda’s for a sleepover right now it’s 9:45 am. Her cat *Willow woke me up with his PURRING! (note: I am still not a cat person) 

Big things happen…

March 23, 1999

Today was normal. My mom did not get pissed about my history test. I got 40/60 the class average was 42/60. I went to *Kayla’s house we had fun. 

THAT’S ALL BYE!

P.S. I still like *Dylan.

P.P.S.S. He is still going out

March 24, 1999

This is the happiest day in my life (note: this is not the happiest day in my life). I found out that *DYLAN dumped *slut who will not be given a name. Now there is a chance for me (how cute is my extreme optimism for love?)

After school I went to *Liz’s house to play volleyball. (note: I have a lot of friends - does this mean I’m popular or have to hang out with whoever will have me? You decide) Then I did homework. Then played a little B-Ball (seriously??)

Now it’s now. But for you my now is your then. WEIRD! (wow). 

Anywho

Ta-Ta!

March 25, 1999

Today was fairly normal. Until around 3:25 (why am I so precise with time??). I was called up to start a prayer. I’m the only one who raises their hand (see I was always an attention whore). Anyway *Dylan my crush is coming back from getting a drink. He puts his hand up to high 5 me…then fakes…puts it down…I don’t know how it happened but I slapped his back pack near the buttocks area! (I can’t believe I didn’t get full ass!) It was so funny! I still really like him. Anywho, best be getting off to bed tomorrow another big DAY! 

Bye.

Note: This post is proof that females over analyze situations with males from an early age. Actually I think my whole diary might be proof of that…
