hilarity ensues

I can safely say that I haven't changed much since 5th grade. Sure, I have continued on with my education and have learned many new things, but I don't think any of my beliefs really changed. I was kind of stuck in a phase where my parents were my main influence, but I was figuring things out in the back of my head. But I only realize this til now!
I found a journal that we kept in 5th grade. Some of the entries are pretty funny. Some still hold pretty true. I'll share some of the good ones.
(This journal is an M&M Brand notebook, that says "Great For Gel Pens!" and has a lot of vibrant colored pages.)
I suggest reading some of these. I find them pretty funny.

"Fall. 9/19/01
My favorite season is fall. It is my favorite season because of a lot of things. The weather I like the best. It is cool in the evening with a great breeze. The leaves are changing and it looks beautiful. I'd rather be outside all day then sitting inside watching TV.
Right now I am outside in the front yard watching the trees sway and listening to the dogs barking.
I love when the leaves fall. I like to rake them up and jump in them. I like running around in the cold weather and coming in for apple cider. I like wearing pants and sweat shirts. The most exciting part about fall is Halloween. I like getting a lot of candy. Also fall is when you go back to school. Nothing like seeing your friends and starting a brand new school year. "

Out of all the entries in the book, I think this one got to me the most. Because I lived in my old house, and fall has never been the same for me. I can just imagine myself writing that. All my memories are there...and I haven't enjoyed Fall as much since then.

"11/1/01
Once there was a man. He lived alone with his cat floopsy. The man was very old.
One day the man died. The cat went to find another home.
First he went to the Loud's. The Loud's house was too loud. Then he went to the Crowdo's. The Crowdo's house was too crowded. Then he went to the Skinnie's. The Skinnie's did not have enough food. He went tot he Exorciser's house. He did not want to Exorcise all the time. Finally, he found an old ladie's house (not too old) The lady gave him some milk. They became very close. The end."

Now, my inital reaction to this was "Exorcisers? What the fuck was I thinking? Did I even know what that meant?" But then I realized that I meant "Exercise" instead. Well, I think it'd be a bit more funny if I was in to some satanic shit back then.

"12/4/01
If I were a fly, I would want to listen to my sister with her friends over. I always try to listen to her. She does all this funky stuff. I like spying on people."

Funky stuff? What the hell?
I still am nosy person, though.

"12/17/01
My cats live in the barn. When it's cold they sleep in the tractor. Sometimes they get locked in there. We made them a bed. They are always trouble makers"

I think I wrote 3 entries about just my cats.

"1/11/02
My favorite movie is Silence of the Lambs. It is a disgusting movie, but I just cover my eyes. Every movie with my dad and I, he says "You have to pay attnetion." I said to him "Ever movie we see you have to pay attention" He said "This is the one you really have to pay attention to." I want to see the sequel, Hannibal. My dad says I am still too young. I love this movie."

I don't remember ever loving it THAT much. And wasn't I still a bit young to see Buffalo Bill tuck his weiner behind some skin? Geez dad, thanks. I still never saw Hannibal....grew out of that weird phase I guess. Must be why I rarely use lotion...

2/4/02 Differences between boys and girls? (something like that)
I think there is no difference. You might think boys have it easier because of how they go to the bathroom, but girls go through puberty worse than boys. Boys get into a lot of trouble and girls get into situations. They are even."

Yea, i was always jealous of guys getting to pee standing up.

"2/19/02 I dont really know what this entry is about.
Some sort of poultry, like a chicken club or just plain chicken. Cold or hot. Mainly chicken."

...followed by a picture of a chicken in the oven.
Mainly chicken.

"3/12/02
My sisters gives me a look with squinty eyes. They also shakes their heads. It means that what I just said is stupid to them or why did I bother doing that."

All I know about this entry is that my grammar was on the same level as Toki or Skwisgaar. "What is wrong with this dumb dildos, they gives us all the free coffee in the world and no instruction on how to cook it! "

"The Fighting Ground (A book we read presumably)
I don't think war is necessary. Countries can have their own ways and not fight because their country is better. I would be willing to fight in a war when one country hurts ours for no good reason. An example is September 11. I think that some people glorify war because they want to prove that their country is better than any other. The evidence is that people are breaking in wars for no good reason. You can tell when there is a war for no good reason. When your country hasn't done anything. I think that it was OK. The only thing bad was that they used "We did this this way but NOW it's different." They should of played their role as the 1600s. The only person playing their role was Mrs. Hall. Also the herb lady had a cell phone."

Alright, pretty spot on entry. I believed that war was bad. But yeah right- like i would fight in a war! ha.
anyways, the fucking HERB LADY (?!) had a cell phone. HAHAHA wut. \

So, that's it for the entries. Most of them were pretty amusing. I never wrote down what the prompts were. But I know that I was a strange child, and still am.

Now i feel like watching Metalocalypse..
