moving on

emily and i broke up. she said it would be easier to "just be friends". But i know the real reason. she doesn't want to go out with me because i'm moving. Well, it's probably for the best. I might not ever see her again. I tried calling amber but she never picks up. she doesn't care. everything is always about Jake now. Maybe it's a good thing I'm moving. I have no friends here. I just have to move on.

tonight

well, we went surfing for a little bit. maybe for one of the last times. I'm moving. I just found out tonight. My mom got a new job and we're moving to Colorado. Well, it's not for sure...yet. We find out next week. I don't want to move. I really don't. I've lived in CA all of my life. I have to call Emily. See you guys later.

surfing

i'm going surfing with amber, jake, and emily after dinner. i never see amber without jake anymore. it's like they're attatched at the hip or something. i mean really. we don't hang out as much as we used to. But i'll see everybody tonight so it's all good. Well, i got to go eat now. We're having chinese takeout. It's me and my sister's favorite. Oh, I finally got my old picture back on my profile. see ya later.

peace out

The dance

the dance was amazing. It was loads of fun. Emily looked really beautiful in her pink dress. It was cool seeing her hair in curls becaus her hair is naturally super straight. My mom made me wear a striped sweater and some khaki pants. I'm not really used to dressing up. I usually just wear a t-shirt and some jeans. But Emily thought I looked really nice. I was really nervous when I first saw Emily but I could tell she was nervous too so I began to relax. By the time we got to the school we were laughing and making jokes. The school gym was decorated with fake sparkling snow and paper snowflakes were hanging from the ceiling. It was really cool. Emily and I danced a lot and walked around for a while. We ate some snacks and hat a lot of pop. haha. I saw amber at the dance with jake. looked like they had a good time too. i didn't really get a chance to talk to her though. When it was time to leave I hugged Emily good-bye and thanked her for a great time. As I pulled away she softly kissed me on the cheek. Once I got home I was so tired but the dance was so much fun. I'll never forget it.

peace out

hey 'sup?

hey guys. sorry i haven't been on here in a while. so what did I miss?
well, tomorrow is the dance at my school. Emily is really excited. She won't show me her dress though. She wants it to be a surprise. I will never understand girls. anyway..... i'm actually supposed to be grounded from the computer because i completley bombed my algebra test. if my sister finds out i'm on here she'll tell my mom in a second. she uses every oppurtunity to annoy me. well, she's not gonna find out cuz she's at marissa's house. thank goodness.
oh! my fourteenth birthday is on Feb. 13 (the day before valentine's day). I'm pretty excited. I'm inviting all of my friends over for this awesome party. well, i'll talk to you guys later. leave me a comment. peace out.

yesterday

yesterday emily and i went to the mall. we had starbucks and sat and talked for a long time. we shared a strawberries 'n' cream frappiccino (or whatever it's called). it was pretty good though. then we just kind of walked around barnes & noble. Emily bought a lot of stuff at bath and body works and she made me sniff all of the perfumes and lotions and all of that girly stuff. haha. but we had a great time. :) my mom picked us up and then took us out for ice cream. it is so hot outside! well, anyway that's basically what i did after school yesterday.
peace out.

Derek

hey peeps

What's up? so yeah, you probably already read this on amber's blog, but our school is having a dance on the 27th. It's like a winter theme so it's gonna be decorated with fake snow and icicles. It's actually pretty cool because I live in California and we don't get real snow for the winter. so anyway, i asked emily to the dance and she said yes. so i guess we're kinda going out now. :)
she's really pretty. she has long brown hair and amber eyes. and she is so easy to talk to. oh, that reminds me. i gotta call her. we're going to the mall tonight. see ya guys later. peace out.

New Years Eve!

Hey everyone. It's new years eve! I'm pretty excited about 2007. I love new years eve because it gives me an excuse to stay up all night. Haha.
