The Art of Storytelling - Reading my childhood diary #2

(singing) Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound can you hear me sound, la, la, la, la, can you hear me, la, la, la, la, la, it's been a while. (talking) Hi everybody, I'm Amanda the G and today I'm going to read from one of my old diaries. I did this before, but I did go in my basement and found a whole bunch more. I have a lot of these. So I decided to go for one that's actually written in chronological order instead of the one that I had before that's all over the place. Just a warning, I was 10 when I wrote this and I was angsty and pre-teen and ridiculous. I'm just gonna read this in order. I don't know how bad it's gonna be. 'Today I came back from a birthday party, that was the place I got you.' Referring to this. 'I still have strep throat and am taking amociclyin. It is chewable and tastes horrible. My flute music is getting harder. I want to get lessons for my auto harp and my harmonica.' I still have both of them, I still can't play either. 'In art I've had a lot of advances. Now I know how to make paper. I am learning calligraphy and much more.' I can't do that. 'I have to go now. Bye.' 'Dear journal, today my mom said that I could no longer be a vegetarian. My mom is so mean. On the piano I cannot play some songs. I feel that I am a failure. Tonight I almost forgot to take my medication. In, in selling Girl Scout cookies, I have sold 60 boxes. 40 or more to reach my goal. I am doing pretty well in my castle puzzle. It is very hard to do. I want to finish it by next year.' This was written in January. 'I accidentally broke my hairbrush today. I had to glue it two times in the same spot.' I was afraid to tell anyone that I broke it so I just glued it back together and tried to make it work. 'Dear journal, today my friend really got on my nerves. She tried to bring me and one of my enemies together as friends.' (sarcastic) She was so mean. 'Now I hate my flute teacher because my teacher was going over my writing piece and I was 10 minutes late for my flute lesson. His reaction was this - he yelled at me till I almost cried. Also he did not give me the music that I needed and he promised me. He did this all in front of the other *** flute player.' (laughs) I really didn't like her very much. 'Today I wrote an advertisement for selling carnations. It started last year. The colors this year are red for love, pink for friendship, and white for admiration. The price is one dollar.' I don't know why I felt the need to write this. 'Dear journal, today was the 10th annual teachers versus students 6th grade volleyball match. Finally the students won. I found out teachers are poor sports. Especially one who wants to eliminate bad volleyball players that are teachers. (laughing) I mean how much poorer a sport could you be?' (laughing) I was calling em all out. 'My friend got sent home 10 minutes early. I think she's a hypochondriac. I want to be in all county chorus but that is impossible. That is the same for all county band. I want chorus more.' I don't think I knew how to write a cohesive thought. I'm just gonna read one more then I'm done for today. 'Dear journal, I was surprised to see my friend in school today even though she did not talk a lot. She did not go to ski club. It was all man-made snow and ice. It was very hard to ski on. My instructor said all I needed was confidence and I would be a great skier. He took me up the ski lift for my first time. It was scary at first but I got used to it. I saw a kid that was with an instructor and the kid was a good skier. The kid got caught on a patch of ice and fell into a really, really humongous ditch.' So that day was the first day that I went on a ski lift and then down the slope and I was terrified. And I was barely moving down the hill. And then I saw an instructor and a whole group of skiers going down and around this corner and they got caught on a patch of ice and I watched a person fall off of a mountain. I did not write that appropriately in my journal. They fell down and broke both of their legs. I was so scared after that, I took my skis off, walked in my ski boots back to the lodge, turned in the skis, went and got some pizza, and then sat in the lodge for the rest of the night. Come on, Amanda, tell a story, jeez. So that's it for today, I do have a lot more of these, so if you wanna hear more of my old journals, please leave me a comment below and let me know that.
