This is a small collection of stories about me being a typical over dramatic teen girl about the school dance, having a blast with my friend on a school trip, and a great loss I went through....

Eighth grade summer school and how I ended up on that wild ride. Saw old friends, Abby my best friend was there, I had a bf and lost him over night (literally), and then lost a best friend for good. What a strange trip it was.

Today I'm telling you about the one day I was able to ditch school and ACTUALLY get away with it! Sidenote: Still DO NOT condone ditching and think you should attend school. And the one other junior high dance I actually attended.

Probably the most favorite school event I've ever been too! It was so fun and to some this may not seem like much, but it was one of my better memories of school or school events. A ton of my friends were there, one of my favorite teachers, and some cool civil war re-enactments happened.

Well here's where one bad idea caused a year (or more)'s worth of problems. Kalvin and Kaelin wanted excuses to cheat and not be blamed.

So Kalvin.... I know I'd had boyfriends before but they didn't get as far as Kalvin did. I know he wasn't technically a real boyfriend, but he was the first guy to take me on a (kind of) date.

Went to a party like my name was Il Niño and wound up in a very weird situation with a lot of firsts. And not necessarily good ones. Also these people led to a lot of drama and bullying later on and clearly were who people mean when they talk about the "wrong crowd".

In eighth grade I decided to up the angst and be a little more wild. Partly because I wanted to portray a certain image and partly because I'd occasionally get goded into doing stuff I shouldn't. All I can say: don't be an ass, get to class!

Today I talk a bit about a show I loved growing up and more specifically the star of said show... Frankie Muniz. Apparently he does remember filming Malcom in the Middle. I also tell you a few mini story times to finish up my seventh grade section of the show. Like I said things didn't pop off much in seventh grade... eighth grade was a bit more weird. So hold on to your butt those stories are coming.
