I’m putting this here just in case my floppy disk breaks.

Geminids and then Some
We went out tonight for a few minutes. That is Danny, Claire, and I. We were looking for the meteors. There wasn’t much, but the stars looked beautiful tonight. The sky was perfectly clear. I believe I saw a shooting star. It was quick and small. danny claims to have seen one, but we weren’t out yet. What is interesting to me right now is how every one is so freezing. I have no clue why, but I haven’t felt too cold. I am currently in short sleeves and long pants. That is in the house. Out, I throw on a light jacket. Even in the house everyone is wearing a sweater and a long-sleeve shirt. Must be me being so confused. 7th grade is so hard!! Tomorrow I have to go to school early, we are going to the Alliance Theater to see “A Christmas Carol”. After we will go to Fernbank. I won’t be getting home until 4:45. I think it will be fun, but it is past my bedtime… actually it isn’t right now. I just want to go to bed early so I will not be tired. I could always fall asleep on the charter bus going down. Although, you never know what your friends will do to you when you are asleep. Especially with all the peer-pressure. Well, that’s all. Good Night!
Diaries if a Genius #5

Dear Spud,
I don’t know what I was thinking! Having a girlfriend? That is something I will not need to have until college when I may think about getting married and having spuddlings I am sorry I haven’t written. I have had a mass of emotions over the past few days. Anyway, I think I have finally figured out the language of my friends in popular. Remember, it is not a club, okay? Here is a few words:
YO: It means… I am feeling quite dizzy as if I were a yo-yo. I have figured this out by watching their body language. As two, shall I say, “populars” approach each other, they walk in a way as if they felt like they were falling backwards. To try to maintain their way of movement. There also is a slight bounce to their step. This is usually how male populars approach one another.
WUSSUP: It means… simply, “What is above you?” Now, the response is usually, “Nothing” or, “Nothing much”. Where we live, skies are usually clear. I figure, if skies have some clouds then the reply is, “Nothing much”. It is as simple as that. Even somebody with the IQ of 10 can understand that!
Chill: Now, this is very commonly used when anybody gets red in the face from being a quaint upset. It looks as if they were all hot, chill means to cool down.
Homie: This means… you are accepted in their family and can come to their home at anytime. Close friends say this together.
“Yo my homie! WASSUP?”
“Aaw, man nuthin much, you?”
“Man, my home dawg Rob was all yuh know, wus the word… hyped up! Man, he had to just chill”
This would be a common conversation I might hear from my homies (I had to use that) Mike and Eddie. I’m pretty sure home dawg is the same as homie. I know it looks wrong, but people are dawgs, dogs are dogs. Very perplexing, I know. Well, I might as well be done with you for now.

My dad is thinking of switching it to blog style. Aaaw man! I only did it once. Oh well… maybe I can help with the Life Teen page.
