I started out this morning much like every other... Hit the snooze button enough times that I got about an extra 40 minutes of sleep, crawled out of bed, slunk into the shower, and got ready for the day ahead of me. Luckily I had time for a break, so I opened up the February issue of Glamour and read a few pages. Being a February issue, I was bombarded by tons of pink, red, and little hearts. My first big reminder that Valentines Day is approaching, and I, like many women out there, am still sin...

How many people out there have really cared about someone, didn't tell them, and lost them to another? How many of you have fallen for a friend, cared about them for ages, but were always too scared to let them know, too scared to find out what they thought, and lost them altogether? I'm sure that's happened to many of us. It's happened to me, in more ways than one. And when my dear friend Joe died, without knowing how much I appreciated him and loved him as a wonderful friend, I vowed that I wo...

I've decided to make a list for all you hopefuls (haha) on what qualifications a guy needs to date me. I'm pretty sure on all of this, since I've dated like 50 people (Ok, not THAT many) and I know what I can't live without. First of all--Physical Attributes! I have to start out by saying most of these attributes aren't too flexible. I know what I want, and I'm pretty clear as to what I'm NOT interested in. Sorry to exclude anyone, but that's just the way I am. Hair: I prefer dark, though ...

Well I've been getting advice from people that the most important thing in finding love is to find happiness within yourself. AHA! Then I'm in luck! I just won another battle with depression. It was tough, and I took a lot of blows, but I'm okay. No tell-tale scars this time around... It's weird to be okay. Of course, it's not the first time, or anything! It's just weird to see the sun after so many days of darkness. It's refreshing. And I feel good. Is it true happiness? Who the hell ...

I'm a charmer by nature. I always have been, it's just that for some long periods of time, I tend to turn this charm off and try to fend for myself. Lately, though, it seems as though I need it to get by. How so? Well, just read this and see if you don't fall in love with me, too. There are a million things I want to do with my life. I want to fall in love. I want to watch the sun come up in a lover's arms. I want to see the look in his eyes, the look where he can't get enough... I want ...

I am sick of people telling me that love will come when I'm not looking. That's when I don't need it! Why can't I find love when I need it? When I need to be held? To be told that everything will turn out okay, that I'm beautiful. When I need to be appreciated. Why would I need to find love when I'm happy enough by myself? It's ridiculous and fucked up. Why don't people realize sometimes that's just what people need? And they shouldn't keep it back. Things could be worse, though. I could be ...

The sky is blue, the wind is blowing, it feels like a nice day over all. Pretty soon (within two months) birds will be chirping, trees will be budding, and everyone will be holding hands. Happy couples will be welcoming the warm weather for picnics, hiking, outings. You know the story. I already see happy couples everywhere I look. It seems as though they're trying to shove it in my face, "Haha, we're happy, we've found someone, you're a loser, all by yourself." I've never been on one of ...

Ok, I think I'm pretty cute. But I don't understand. I do not know one guy who is even kind of interested in me. Not a soul!! With the exception of Ben Uno, not a single male here in Morris has ever even looked at me twice. And I'm cute!! But maybe I'm not?? Because uglier people are getting boyfriends... And girlfriends... And where am I in this? On the sidelines! Watching! Not even getting ANY offers! And I'm sweet. I smile. I'm friendly. I talk to people. But still nothing. What the hell am...

Well, I felt a need to add a list of my very own. I apologize for the confusion I made with my last article (44 reasons, or how ever many they were). I labeled it incorrectly. I started a short list in my diary that I expanded online, and in my diary I named it "Reasons why guys should find me attractive." Sorry about the confusion. The following is a list of reasons why I like myself, because I DON'T rate myself the same way as I feel men would rate me, in the previous article. Does that make s...

Reasons I'm cute enough (and SHOULD be) for guys: 1: I have straight, WHITE teeth 2: I have a gorgeous smile 3: I have kissable, big, soft lips 4: My eyes are dark and mysterious 5: My skin is relatively clear--no bad acne! 6: My hair is freaking beautiful-long, brown, and soft as hell! 7: I have gorgeous dark skin 8: I'm a lovely singer 9: I have curves-- NICE ass and visible tits 10: I always smell scrumptious 11: My skin is silky smooth 12: I have great taste in clothes (and my ...

Before I start, I suppose I should explain. The following is a list of things I've always wanted to do before I die. Some of them I have done, some of them I have not. I guess it's kind of like a personal goals list, only it won't be TERRIBLE if I don't get them all done by the time I'm 70. It's just one of those things. Read on, and see which ones you've done, or want to. And just so you know, I'll probably be adding new ones like, every day. ~Anne Before I die, I want to: 1. Go skinny...

Here I am in Morris again. Damn it! I don't want to be here! I'm so far from home And money This sucks. Actually it's really not that bad. I am going to miss my bed and my dog amd my friends, and especially my MAMA... but besides that I'm not that bad off. I mean, now I don't have to see either Megan, Ben, or his family EVERY FREAKING DAY. But on the other hand now I WILL have homework. In all honesty, though, I'd way rather be doing homework than seeing BEN EVERY DAY. Or, yeah. But anyway, ...

I'm going back to school on Sunday. In two days. I definitely don't have enough time in two days to get done what I wanted to get done during break. I haven't even had a hair cut!!! I don't have coke, I need more weed, and I haven't called: Trevor, Dennis, Ryan, Stacy, Shannon, or Amber; and I haven't partied with my sister, and I just haven't done enough! I didn't go skiiing, or sledding!!! Ah! Second semester is falling down on me like a black cloud!!! Just kidding. Well, spring semester IS...

I walked into the diner, not feeling too sure about my interview with Keila Katterson, the newest big celebrity. To be completely honest and off the record, I'm not really sure HOW she got famous, she just is. You know, one of those overnight sensations, and suddenly she's all over the place. I think she got a date with some big star to some awards show and after that everyone has been saying hi to her. Anyway, I wasn't sure how she would act. I'd seen her in other magazines, looking fancy, rich...

Dear Joe, It's been a long time, hey old buddy? I'm listening to Metallica. I haven't listened to it more than maybe three times since with you. I'm listening to "The Unforgiven" and fighting tears. I miss you so much. I remember you were wearing your Metallica hat. I remember us listening to Metallica in your old Caddy. You had the hood ornament, too. Because you didn't have the car anymore First off, of course, you hit about five trees in Ben's yard, and then you hit a deer, or wait is it...
