Look at this lil' beauty that we found... my diary from 3-5th grade (most entries from 4th). This was so fun to find and see my handwriting and spelling and what was important or tragic to me at that time. It's been through better days obviously (the binding is completely detached and is held together by a single piece of tape on the back- Brilliant!), but don't judge a book by how it looks... it's got some gems in there. I love how I would title it with what I was going to write about complete with little drawings or stickers. Also I loved that a lot of the entries are "Dear Dairy" instead of "Dear Diary". Quite possibly my favorite thing about this are the entries every couple of pages that showed an alternate personality of mine- a evil streak you may say. I wanted to be sure that no one was reading this and so I thought that if I put in terrible insults, made up swear words, and death threats they would stop. Little did I know at the time it just made my little sister want to continue on. Below is a scan of some of the pages. In case you can't read it, I'll type it below the picture- spelling and all.
4th grade
Tony
Dear Dairy (diary),
I have a new friend. Her name is Tony. She has short brown hair, a ski slope nose, frickles (freckles), green eyes, and a long neck. Heres a pitchure (picture) of her.
-I love the arrow and a box where I was going to put a picture of her and then never asked for one so I wrote inside that I couldn't get one.

4th grade
Stop reading now. If your not Karalenn don't pay atanion (attention) turn the page Karalenn and anyone that can read this. You are a very rood (rude), a nerd, ugly, and dumb. Farewell but (butt) head.
(Wasn't that scary?) :())
There are even better entries than those and meaner, but I'll save them for another time. If I get Makenzie's permission maybe I'll post some of her journal pages because they are just as hilarious. It's great to see how she writes being the same age as I was in this diary. I think Makenzie feels she can only write in her journal when she's completely ticked with me. So I love finding that puppy and reading through it. It's great for a laugh.
Happy Friday. Hope this brings back fun memories for you as well.

I kept all my journals from about 9 years old and on and they are hilarious to read. I was never clever enough to think of scaring people away from reading it though.
I did the same think that Makenzie does. I only wrote in my jounal when I was mad. It is kind of sad when I look back on it because I look like a hateful person. I guess Kendal gets the swearing from her mother?
Is this Toni Triano? I want to know if you wrote about our 5th grade dance.
Yah. It was Toni Triano. hahaha I din't even know how to spell her name right. :) I didn't write anything about the 5th grade dance. I don't even remember us having one. Are you sure we did? I remember middle school dances though. Those are some funny memories.
The 5th grade dance is the one with Tenley and us for the talent show! I know you remember that one!
That looks older then it is! Must be fun to find that!
I'm still sitting her laughing :) Too funny! I would love to sit and read all of your journals...I think it might make me pee my pants though.
Oh Kar....this is why I love you girl. :) Did I tell you that I'm coming to Utah? I'm hoping that you are as excited to see me as I am to see you. :)
