June 10- Crushes
I remember playing Truth or Dare at Nancy’s birthday/slumber
party in 6th grade and instead of admitting who I had a crush on I
drank out of the dog’s dish for the dare.
Dad took a picture
of me with 2 of my crushes after 8th grade graduation. Obviously,
Mike told him about them but I’m not quite sure how he found out. Did I write
about this in my diary and he read it or did he overhear me telling Kim or mom
about them? I don’t remember ever doing
either. I would not have admitted this to him, would I? Whatever- it’s so
embarrassing that Dad did that.
My other crush told
me not to stare at him anymore sometime in the 7th grade. This has
often been on my mind when I have looked at cute guys since then. I realize
that this sounds ridiculous but I can’t help it. Amy and Sharon always tell me
that it is perfectly fine for me to be doing so but I don’t know if I can make
myself believe this.
Mike told me that in the mid-90s a
neighborhood boy, Stephen, who used to hang out with him sometimes at our
house, had a crush on me which I found hard to believe. But then in about 2000
when I was walking around town with my boyfriend we saw Stephen in his yard and
while we were talking to him he told me so himself.
Shouldn’t I have
been flattered? I was thinking how strange it was to hear this. He’s 4 or 5
younger than me. That was in the mid-80s; I looked so dorky then- bad hairdos
and big glasses. I’ve been wearing glasses since the 3rd grade.
