Poor Ronald. Doesn't even get a whole journal entry about me dumping him. Totally overshadowed by... my love of Christmas. Even though it's OCTOBER. ouch.

Although my list of presents I want is bizarre in general, I first of all need to address the request for a TROLLEY. Is this a misspelling of something? Did I mean trolls? Or was this some kind of crazy Corey-Idea? Was it a toy trolley? A trolley ride? Some sort of crazy circuis device?

• In related circus news, I DID get a unicycle that Christmas. And spent about a year trying to learn how to ride it in my basement. Did any other 12 year old girls ask for this kind of thing for Christmas??

Also: what is a "digital" radio? Weren't all radios "digital" by the mid-90s? How old AM i??

Lastly...

Why did Diana want fruit drink recipes? or more importantly, why did i THINK this would be something she would want?

I'm sad for little Corey. I think she's behind the times still. At her fancy new prep school and she still wants "hippos stuff" and a unicycle and PENS. I mean, props for the nailpolish and makeup request, but it's not enough to elevate that list to actually cool. SIGH.
