Yeah I enjoy myself all the time. I'll never stop enjoying myself.
In the beginning of October 2000 I watched the new TV series on CBS called Bette. I must say fuck the retards that cancelled it. I loved that show. Why couldn't they keep it on TV?
Well my friend Jenna Sassaman and I listened to her Aqua CD. I loved "Barbie Girl" and here's the thing: I have the French translation of that song on CD, you know, on one of my French Mix CDs. And yes, I learn French every day. And I LOVE it!
Dance class: the first day I started getting to know my fellow dancers. We were all like, "okay, whatever" up until October. My sister did acrobats back then, so I didn't really care for acrobats, and still I don't care for it, but that's show business, kid. We got to know each other, and I liked the fact that the girls who were my fellow dancers got used to me.
Gym class: I hated it. I don't know why I even took that class. But I had to do it anyway though.
I enjoyed eating Mrs. Murray's animal crackers from in the barrel of animal crackers. Mrs. Murray had the barrel of animal crackers for all of us to share. I loved when she and I had conversations after class about things beside musicals, in which, unfortunately she hated. We also had conversations on music, which was good because I love music.
The lunch periods in October were great. Some days I would talk to my guidance counselor Mr. Dobbs about the musical I was currently obsessed with and back in 2000 I was obsessed with the musical called Annie. I really liked Alicia Morton back then, and she bought tears to my eyes when she was crying in that scene she did with Audra McDonald. Other days I would sit and talk with my friends. I always had good times with the people in middle school. I stopped obsessing over the musical Annie that month, because Mr. Blekicki let me listen to Annie Get Your Gun. Now that the Annie obsession was over, I obsessed over Annie Get Your Gun and Tom Wopat. I enjoyed listening to Tom Wopat sing, Bernadette Peters' comic flairs, and those wonderful showtunes.
I was in Claire Malfaro's office every Tuesday. After my visits were over, I've always dreamed of going back there. I always loved seeing her smile and writing stories of my visits. I loved Claire so much and I've always thought of her as a good person.
It was cold when I went outside one Friday in October. I looked up at the clouds and thought it was going to snow. Oh, well, I love snow, no biggie.
Bill Kulaga came to my house the weekend of Octoberfest. He used to take me to the big Octoberfest celebration. We used to go to the festival in Hamburg, I think it was, and we used to eat soft pretzels. My siblings and I had a lot of fun there. I had good times when I went to the celebrations, and my sister and I would always go back if we wanted to.
Halloween. I went to my grandmother's house to sleep over and watched Hocus Pocus and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, two of my favorite Halloween movies. I adore those movies so much that I'd watch them over and over again. I also watched Show Boat, Halloweentown, South Pacific and In the Good Old Summertime, and those movies were good, too.
I watched Frasier every Tuesday. The episodes were great. My other favorite shows from 2000 were That's Life, Welcome to New York, The Jersey and Bette. I used to love watching Bette Midler's comedic flair.
I went trick or treating at Kathy's house and I suddenly realized that I lost my Nat King Cole cassette tape that used to be a blank tape, so I made another one.
At the Berkshire Mall, I went with Mom, Jeff and Ashley to PacSun to get Jeff new clothes for school. This was after school. I accidentally shut the door on Ashley's fingers and Jeff got mad at me for it. Oh, well, that's life.
Claire gave me the cast album to Chess to take home with me for me to make a copy of on one of my blank audio tapes. I told her how much I loved the score to Chess so I made myself a copy of it in December.
