Dear Diary,

Welp. Here we are. December already. Can you believe it? Wells, I’ll just hafta take your word for it since you’re just a diary ‘n all.

So, I have so much to tell you. Forgive me for not writing, I guess I just got bored. HA HA HA HA! That was so funny, I just fell off my dinosaur and broke my stone underwear. GET IT?

It is my favorite song ever. It will always be my favorite song until I die. It is beautiful.

She was happy I went. We are still BFFs, but I’ve been in kind of a quiet funk the past couple of months. Not a funk. Just not wanting to hang out with everyone I guess. Now SAL…she’s been a social butterfly. I guess I’m just a homebody if you know what I mean.

A lot has changed around school. It’s really weird. G moved away pretty much right after the school year started. So did the Butt Brothers. Witchstine and Smillew started going together and I was right. She’s kind of slutty. They are so annoying. They break up every other week and then the next…
