It is PAINFUL how nerdy I was

I'm reading through some old journals and it is just really terrible! Here's one about a guy I liked in middle school. 

 "I saw Matt today. Wow, he's great. He looks soooo good. Wow, I really wanted to kiss him, but I don't know if he would want to kiss me. But, he was sweet and we joked and talked and hugged. He tried to undo my bra, just playing around. He's a BIG flirt. Later on that day I saw Lyle, and I was like 'let Karen have him!' I think this is a BIG step today. I really like Matt. No matter what anybody says! So HA!"

And then I scribbled Audrey loves Matt 800000 times.

 On the next page I write that Matt told me I was pretty and I said I liked his butt. WTF?

  • So, did you kiss Matt?  I bet he wanted to.

  • Ha, that's not nerdy. It's called being a teenage girl!

  • My journals from middle school were pretty similar.  Which is why I destroyed them all.

    How oblivious to signs was I? We kissed a couple of times a while later and then I decided I could do better. Lol 

  • I love this so much. It also really scares me if I ever have a little girl. Growing up is hard, yo.

    I can't bring myself to get rid of my old journals/letters, but I can't bring myself to read them either.

    Most of my younger journals are filled with complaints about how mean and evil my older siblings are, along with illustrations.

    This sounds awesome!  I would love to see these.

  • I have moments where I flashback to high school/middle school and I want to sink into the floor and die.

    But, I'm glad that I've moved on from that and to a place where I am not the same person I was a decade ago.

  • LOL!

     

    All of mine are exactly the same. Awesome.

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one who wrote journal entries exactly like that in middle school/high school.

    Her blog instantly skrocketed her onto my list of "favorite people ever." True story.

  • Pshaw. That is sophisticated for middle school.

    Nerdy would have been writing sonnets to Matt but being too nervous to talk to him. Then, taking it as a sign he is deep and you were meant to be together when he looked up at the word "river" when reading aloud from Huckfinn

    Not that I know anything about nerdy.
