"Quotes and Their Owners"/ Jordyn's Journal

'Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop'."

Dear Journal,

Kirk broke up with me yesterday. Why? Because he's a superficial jerk who only cares about looks, so he'd rather go out with Jenna, who is beautiful, rich, and popular! AHHH! Why, journal? Why can't anyone love me? First my... birth father turns abusive, and HIS WIFE abandons me at an orphanage, then when I finally find a loving home and a friend, she goes and turns on me... and now, now my boyfriend dumps me... for HER, the jerk I use to call my bestie....

great! now my head hurts...

‘Be funny, be daring, and be as creative as possible, Embarrassment is only in your minds; it's not really happening.' David Burns.

This guy's full of it, Journal. Embarrassment is not simply in the mind, believe me, I should know. Today was one the most embarrassing days of my life!

Today's my birthday, Journal. Mine and my 2-year-old brother, Adrian's. After church, dad took us to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate... Why? Because that's where Adrian wanted to go. So, I made the best of it. I won enough tickets and got him a stuffed dinosaur.

However, while driving home, Adrian surpised everyone by insisting that we go to the coffee house, where I had wanted to go, but dad turned it down because "Adrian was tired". I was so happy, Journal! But, like all good things in my life, that happiness was short-lived. Adrian decided he wanted to stand up in the booth, and when dad told him to sit down, he plopped down, spilling his chocolate milk ALL OVER ME! I mean, was that necessary? Oh, and get this, journal! My ex-best friend and her clones decide to pick THAT MOMENT to walk through the front door! AHHH!!!

Now, do mom and dad care that I'm covered in milk and about to be seen by the one group in school who could ruin my life? Heck, no! *sarcastically*Adrian bumped his elbow!*sarcastically* Oh no, call an ambulance! Ok, so I do feel bad that he got hurt, and even worse that I got mad at him and made him feel bad, but... seriously!

So... remember when I said that the spilt milk incident was the most embarrassing moment in my life, Journal? Well, this one tops the chart...

Jenna was being her obnoxious, bratty self. She was spreading rumors about what happened yesterday at the Coffee House. So, at lunch I comfronted her and asked her to stop. That must have made her angry, because she started saying crap about my past and how my birth parents hated me (which I wouldn't doubt), and how my current parents only wanted me because they couldn't have a kid on their own, but now that they have Adrian, they don't want me any more. Unfortunately, Journal, I think she's right...

Anyway... oh, I ran into my biological mother today. Yeah.

Where?

At school! She's the new principal! Oh yeah, did I mention that I hit Jenna? Yeah, it's weird though, because I don't remember doing it. One minute she was teasing me, and the next... I was in the principal's office next to a bloody-nosed Jenna. It was a funny sight, I have to admit. ;D

...until THAT WOMAN decided that Jenna was the sole victim, and I got detention for the rest of the day! I swear, Journal! Is the whole world against me?

I'm going to bed now, Journal. Mom's taking me to the doctor tomorrow for my headaches (and now to try to figure out why I blacked out today). Good news... I don't have to put up with Jenna... or *sarcastically*Mrs. Chavez*sarcastically*... tomorrow!

Well, after four years of homeschooling, I'm finally going to Hogwarts! I can't believe it. Hogwarts is the #1 magic school in the wizarding world. Ok, so I don't live in that world, but... I will tomorrow! I just hope everyone likes me and I am able to transition well from practicing at home alone with only my parents and Adrain, to performing in front of my peers and a teacher. Wish me luck, Journal!

ps. I hope I can find some friends in the process... and maybe a boyfriend.
