This is the last entery in my school journal:

5-23-07

Today is the last day of Literary Club and instead of the cake and fun that we were promised, we get to write. Joy. The ONE day I don't have a book on me...ug. I'm gonna miss Middle School so much. I don't deal well with change...I really don't think I can do High School. I'm so afraid that I'm gonna forget all the cool memories. I'm gonna write some down now and NEVER lose my journal.

1. Teach Me. There was a bookmark in Mrs. Redden's class about a student/teacher affair called Teach Me. So Me, Megan, Carmen,and everybody made a joke about it and went around saying "Teach Me" to each other and then replying "Teach you WHAT?" It finally got on Megan's nerves, but i didn't stop, so she printed out hundreds of tiny papers that all read "Teach Me" and put them in my bag. Sence then, they have been found on all 3 halls and by 7th graders. A huge pile found it's way into Teddy's binder, and he wasn't even in on the joke. Gen found on in her locker, as have i and Megan. There was one in my new purse. We also found one in Nashville. Really. No Joke. (SIDE NOTE: sence this entry was written, i have found Teach Me papers in numoruos places around my house, in my mom's car, and my church)They are possesed by evil, they follow you around and choose there victoms.

2. Fat Camp. So one day Teddy came up with this random Fat Camp thing. He said he was 800 pounds overweight and he needed help. Before he new it, 25 or so people were going to "Fat Camp" including  me, Jessica, and Carmen. We camp up with a slogan: "You are sadly overweight and need help, go to Fat Camp!" We  "went" to Fat Camp that weekend and on Monday discused our adventures, like getting fat-free jelly donuts on the bus and losing 350 pounds. We all made and wore signs saying "I survived Fat Camp!"

3.Moon Butt. At Jessica's party, a girl named Tylar had a pic. of some guy's butt on her phone (from a movie) and Megan said "Is that a butt!?!?" and Tylar said "No, It's a moon." Everybody laughed, but poor Meg didn't get it. She said "What? Moon Butt, Butt Moon...." We all laughed and somebody explained to her. We still don't leave her alone about it.

4.Yomamma. At lunch we talked about naming your child Yomamma. We came up with these sentences for the situation: "Guess who went potty today? Yomamma!" "Yomamma is the ugliest girl in school!" "Guess who I'mm taking to prom? Yomamma!" "You know who I saw making out with Tyron at the movies last night? Yomamma!" There are millions more.

5. Make the Honey. At my party we went to see Spiderman and they had a comersial for a movie about bees. The commersial said "Get the pollen. Make the honey. Get the nector. Make the honey." For some reason we found this hilarious and all throught the movie we said "Make the honey" at random moments. After that we pretty much said it all the time and even came up with an award-winning rap called "Make the Honey"

So that's my 8th grade year, prety much. If I wrote everything I'd kill all the trees everywhere. Bye Middle Skool! Now I'll never forget you.

Back to present day. i read that entry today and cried my eyes out. Can we do that again? Could anything ever compare with that year? Have we used up our fair share of funny? Will we live our lives saying "Remember in 8th grade when......."? And who is "we" now? All these are questions that I'm terrified of and that will soon, too soon really, be answered.
