Dear Diary, I bought new tennis shoes and new jeans today! I was talking to my mom about how my wardrobe was falling apart, and I needed good walking shoes for NY and for girl's camp. So she was like, "Well, don't spend more than $50." YES!!!!!!!! The shoes are pink! And a TAD uncomfortable. But I went on another walk today, and I'm breaking them in. I think they'll work fine. The jeans are just simple jeans, very comfy, VERY cute. They fit me perfectly!!! I can't gain any weight though, lol. That's basically the only fun thing I did. I kinda just hung around the house doing things for my mom, who was sick. Ummmmmmm... What else. Oh yes! Cassie's sister gets home from her mission this week! I'm excited, mostly for Cassie. But Trina is really nice. I still want her and my brother to get married. Yes! That'd be awesome. Also, the Greene's are coming home. The Greene family (from my old ward) went on a mission three years ago, back when I was a beehive. It seems like they've been gone forever. But I guess it's been quite the... eventful three years for me. SO! Morgan wants me to go on a group date with her and Eric this Thursday. It's a girl's invite. For some reason, people have this strange idea that *I* will be able to get a date. I know this is perposterous. For one thing, I don't actually know that many guys... especially not guys I could take on a date. For another... well... I'm just not the kind of girl guys like. Don't ask me why. I've given up trying to figure that out. So Morgan will have to find a date for me, if she really wants me to go... And if she can't, then I guess I'm out of luck... I feel bad doing that to her, but I REALLY don't think I could find a date. I'm not good at asking my girlfriends to hang out with me. How could I ask a random boy out? Scary... Maybe I'll ask Bill. He's a friend, right? And he did say the other day that if a girl asked him out, he would never say no... Even if that girl was me, lol. He's getting his wisdom teeth out tomorrow. I hope that goes okay. Jeremy said we might visit him. I hope so. That'd be nice. I haven't seen him (or Jeremy) forever. And surgery is a big deal! Poor boy. lol. I think he's pretty tough though... Still, his big sister should make sure he's okay, right? ...Right. Love, Lisa Ann --Later-- Mariah introduced me to this totally amazing song by Death Cab for Cutie called Someday You Will Be Loved. It... oh it's... I love it. Just makes me hope that it'll happen to me someday. And broken hearts DO mend, so everything will be okay. I just gotta keep believing that someday I will be loved. I think this is my new favorite song in the world... "I once knew a girl in the years of my youth With eyes like the summer, all beauty and truth But in the morning I fled, left a note and it read "Someday you will be loved" I cannot pretend that I felt any regret Cause each broken heart will eventually mend And as the blood runs red down the needle and thread Someday you will be loved You'll be loved, you'll be loved Like you never have known And memories of me Will seem more like bad dreams Just a series of blurs Like I never occurred Someday you will be loved You may feel alone when you're falling asleep And every time tears roll down your cheeks But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet And someday you will be loved You'll be loved, you'll be loved Like you never have known And memories of me Will seem more like bad dreams Just a series of blurs Like I never occurred Someday you will be loved You'll be loved, you'll be loved Like you never have known And memories of me Will seem more like bad dreams Just a series of blurs Like I never occurred Someday you will be loved Someday you will be loved" Love, Lisa Ann
