And yet another year of people setting off fireworks late into the night. I mean, I love fireworks, don’t get me wrong, but I hate how late some people set theirs off. Some people are trying to sleep. Ah well, at least I got to spend the time texting Ryan. The fireworks where he lived kept him, Rachel, and their kid up as well.

And yet another year has passed since Ryan moved out. I still have been trying to ask mom and dad to let him visit, but they keep refusing. Would it be bad if I went behind their backs to visit him? I mean, I’m already going behind their backs to talk to him, so sneaking out to visit him wouldn’t be too bad.

Uggghhhhh, mom and dad are so infuriating. They’re convinced that I’ll have a boyfriend or a crush by the time school starts and they’re convinced I’m going to get with Jasper. I asked them what would happen if I liked a girl or just didn’t like anyone at all, and they just laughed like I was telling a joke and told me that I just wouldn’t have met the right guy. The thing is, I was being completely serious when I asked them. I swear, I love my parents, they’re great and all, but sometimes I wonder if not liking guys isn’t as weird as they make it out to be.

Got called ‘fatty’ by a girl in one of my classes today. Seriously, a girl gains a little weight and is a little chubby and you decide she’s fat? Took every ounce of willpower not to tell her off. Why should I be ashamed of my body? I mean, I’m healthy and happy with the way I look and it’s not affecting anyone else, so there’s no reason for me to go on a diet or anything. I mean, I’m just starting to develop this stuff, so I shouldn’t be ashamed of it so early!

Wore a cute outfit that sorta showed off my curves today just to mess with the girl who called me fatty yesterday. Hah, the look on her face was priceless when she told me I should wear clothes that hide my figure and I responded “Why should I hide my figure when you can’t seem to hide your attitude?” I honestly don’t know what came over me in that moment--I’m usually a pretty quiet person--but whatever it was, it felt nice. And it seemed to get her off my back. I even got a fistbump from Noori for the response I gave!
