Dear Diana,

Today is Anselm's birthday. Today we are going (as always on Sundays) shopping and house shopping. "We're going to get some houses," as Anselm said. Now as I sit here writing, Daddy says us kids always mess up everything. I have to go play some stu* game with Talia.

*Stu is an abbreviation for stupid.

Dear Diana,

We're going to our friends' house soon. Oh, I'm so excited! I'm supposed to be packing, so I'll write quick (oops, bad grammar). Oops, gotta go! Anselm's birthday is tomorrow. He turns four. These are wonderful days I live in!

Diana,

We are in Oceanside. Dad, Xander, and Uncle Ray are watching that stupid movie Ring Thing, by Tolkien, whatever. It's one of a trilogy, and I think it is... Well, the book was okay, but the movie... UKCK!! At least it has great sound effects. The action... if I were going to rate it, well here: Action: F. Characters: D-. Plot of storyline: C-. Music: B+. Sound effects: F. Dramatics: B+. Whole movie: R. Was that good? Have to practice, bye!

P.S. Movies like this always make me feel weird!

I totally had a crush on Aragorn– both in the movie and the books.

Dear Diana,

It's going to be Thanksgiving in two days. After that, Christmas is in something, I don't know. I can't say, "Christmas is coming, and snow is falling. The smell of cookies and holiday goodies is sifting through the house. The Christmas tree sparkles and shines." How cozy! (I think what I meant to say was that I can't say that because my house was never like that, and also it doesn't snow in Southern California) We are going to Oceanside tomorrow. That will be fun. Today is Monday, so I have orchestra tomorrow. Xander has it today. It's almost suppertime now. I just practiced. Talia is at the store with Dad. We think– oops, Dad's back, gotta go!

Dear Diana,

That was fun! Cool. (all of that was written in a weird font) Guess what! We caught a gopher!!!!!! We only kept him/her for a day, of course. But still, it was fun. Thanksgiving is next week. We're going to Oceanside for it (where we are now). It will be fun. I think we're goin' to the beach tomorrow morning! I love it when you* go in the morning. It feels so good. Then you** get back and eat lunch. Fun!

Dear Diana,
Here, you. I'm going to pour out my grievances. Actually, I won't. YAY! Anyway, I'm too happy to do that. I'll practice my name:

'Maria' written in 7 different styles

Pretty good, huh?

Love, Kitty

Dear Diana,

I had orchestra yesterday. Great fun, that! Today we were supposed to have a lesson (we always have one on Wednesday, and today is Wednesday). Here is the script for a normal night (for us).

Daddy: We need to get to bed, we need to get to bed!

Me: I'm going, I'm going!

Xander: Watch this grind! (does a skateboard trick with a board from the beach)

Daddy: Walk on my legs.

Me: No. (goes to brush teeth)

Anselm: I'm going to jump on you!

Daddy: So yeah... blah bah blah (talking)

Anselm: I'm going to jump on you!

Daddy: Shut up.

Anselm: I'm going to jump on youuuuu!

Daddy: (to Mom) We really raise the monkey house, don't we.

Talia and Anselm: (thinking that's an insult) Waaaaahhhhh!

I guess I better stop. More later.

Kitty

I realize it might sound weird for my dad to want people to walk on his legs, but he likes the massaging feeling, because he sustains many sports-related injuries.

Mmmm

We had pizza for supper. Yum! Yesterday, on Sunday (yesterday was Sunday), we had, or maybe I had, a perfect day. We went shopping, looked at houses, and bought something for ME! What makes my victory even sweeter is they were underclothes. My first bra! It's cause I'm getting, um... well, breasts. Uh-huh. Now that sounds silly. Still, I'm getting older. Everyone here thinks we're SDA* around here. We had a veggie supper last night (as we do sometimes). It consisted of "beef" patties, potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms and onions fried together. Yum!

Dear Diana,

Bush won the elections! Wwwaaaaa! But as I stated in my Fence Song, "Election Promises," I don't really mind. Now back to fence songs. It's when I sit on the fence near Teleport Circle No. 1 (teleport circles are certain sports determined by me, in the game, 'Teleport Circle') and sing or talk, whichever. I do it every day. Now, as I realize, it's time to do it! Yay!!!!!
