I got a new home teaching partner, Brother McBride. He's very new. In the prayer President Wellmen gave to me, he said that I would be a great leader in preparing the Lord to come again. Those were very extremly powerful words that touched me. I'll never forget it.

Mom's birthday party was a blast, Lots of people liked it. mom was gleaming. Wendy Cravalho and Else ____ came from California, the Pullan family came too. They're fun folks to be around.

Kevin Roach's hormones are kicking in. He likes this girl Kristen, whose a sophmore and in Band. Kevin was only thinking about her today. He said he doesn't know what to do because he won't see her for a week. I went Oh Brother. Then he said I didn't understand. Then I thought, No you don't understand.

(He asked her out, and I'm finding the answer tommorow.

Today was my 43rd day of high school.

School was fun. For lunch, I sat with Tasha. She wasn't very talkative. I want to sit somewhere else, but I don't know how Tasha feels. I'll ask her. She's writing me a lot of notes latley. I try to keep up with her, but she's crazy!

I really didn't want to go to the combined activity. But I ended up loving it. We went to the cannery. I think thought of the end of the world, and how the chuch has a lot of food. As I was working there, I felt like I was a charachter in Ephaims Seed, the book about the saints in the last days. It was a really neat feeling.

On the way home from the big silo's, Bro. Drysdale was telling me what to do in High School to get into the Academy and JROTC. He taught Air Force JROTC in a college. He's really cool.

PS. I served my detention today. It was for being tardy.

Today was my 41st day of High School.

Mom and Dad went to "Lord of the Dance!" a dorky guy who dances. (I'll probably want to go to something like that when I'm older.)

I talked with Tasha for over 2 hours today. I really like Tasha. I want someone who is intelligent and likes music. (We have the same intrests in movies music) She's really smart and extremly pretty. Today, she was talking on and on, and I just like to listen to her voice. She's very nice.

I went on the Internet and found riddles to tell people. Everyday, I tell people in my classes and on the bus a riddle. They can never figure them out. Ryan Seekley even paid me a 50-cent piece to find the answer to this one: 62-63=1 Answer = 6 [squared] - 63=1

(Then he told everyone all my secrets)

Today was my 40th Day of High School. And what a day. For Homecoming, Boys are suppossed to get girls mums, and girls get boys garters. Well, I entered 2nd Period Wld-Geography, and she had a garter for me. I didn't feel so bad until Candace said "Where's your garter Tasha?" Tasha sadfully nodded she didn't have one. I felt so terrible. Like, really, REALLY Terrible. But later I gave her a maroon rose and white carnation (our school colors). I felt a little better, but not much. Then later at the game (which I was in ROTC, and we won by 7 points [35-28] ??? ) or when the game ended, me and Tasha (which is in band) walked over to the high school. She asked if we could wear garters in our uniform, And I said no. Then She said you can wear mums and garters on the band uniforms. I felt SO bad. Tasha's really nice, pretty, and has a great personality. I really like her, but I feel like a creep. I hope she forgives me.

My parents piss me off so much. Today, I was watching a movie on the big T.V. for at least an hour. Then, Mom came up and said give the TV to Russell so he could play the Playstation. I got so angry. Then, tonight, As I tried to finish the movie, Dad said he needed it, or I'd have to pay $2.50. I told him niether. Then he tried to grab me, and he flung me on the floor. I rammed him. He took me to the floor. So then I bit him and kept hitting him. I was yelling at him so much. They just make me angry.

Today, I went to the Doctor about my acne. I really have it bad. Then I went to school to work on the float for Homecoming. I get to ride it too. Then I got my haircut into a crewcut/military. I ahve to for ROTC. That reminds me, I have to try on the hat to see if my haircut is good.

My 35th day of High School. Homecoming is Next week. I asked Tasha Teage to go with me. She's really pretty and very nice and funny. (Reminds me of Randa, they both have red hair.) It's techinically not dating, so I can do it.

I've been getting into A LOT of arguements with Mom. She's late to EVERYTHING and I always have to revolve around her.

I did my first debate on Monday in debate. We got an 80. If my partner did better, we could have gotton a 90.

Jenni Ensign and James Drysdale are going out. I know some people would freak out if they liked one of the two, but I don't. I know they'll break up, and then they'll look really stupid!!!

Christy Artis Birthday is on Saturday. I know exactly what Im going to get her. (and something for Tasha.) The Battle of the Ax game is this Friday. I'm going to work it with the NJROTC.
