Calista's Diary Entry - Slumber Party

Dear Diary,

Skipper called me on Saturday and asked me if I wanted to come to her house for a slumber party that night. I told her that it was really short notice, but that I wanted to come. I asked her if Hadley and Isla would be there and she said no, so I said okay. I asked my mom and dad and they said that I could go.

At the party, there was me, Kiyoni, Mira, Skipper and Linh. All of the girls there were older than me so I was a little worried that I would not have fun. I wished that Briana Joy and Kana were there. But the other girls were nice and we did have fun. We got things started by listening to music and dancing, which somehow led to a pillow fight.

Then it was time for make-overs. Skipper wanted to give me a relaxer and Kiyoni wanted to put blue streaks in my hair! No thanks! I like my hair just the way that it is! I did let Linh style it though. Mira gave me a facial.

We had a lot of cookies, chips, soda, and other junk for snacks that night.

We played a game called Secret Crush, where we had to write down the names of guys that we secretly have a crush on. Then, someone would read off the names and the rest of us were supposed to guess who has the crush on him. When Linh called out Bob's name, they all laughed and they all knew it was me. Linh said "Calista the game is called 'Secret Crush', not 'Most Obvious Crush EVER!" I could feel my cheeks getting hot, I was so embarrassed. Kiyoni has a crush on the teacher, Mr. Smith - yuck!

I was the first one to fall asleep. It's a good thing that I'm a light sleeper too because I woke up with them gathered around me, and Skipper had an eyebrow pencil in her hand. I think that they were going to draw a mustache or something on me. Me and Skipper finally went to sleep for good at around 2:00 a.m. The other girls stayed up whispering and giggling until after 4:00 a.m.

Artsy Fashionista Comes Out to Play

I deboxed my Artsy Fashionista Barbie yesterday and we have had some fun times already. I LOVE the fact that she can stand on her own (in her boots).

Raven was the first one to come out and say hello.

Others soon followed.

Fun in the Sun

Calista's Diary Entry - The New Girl

Dear Diary,

Ever since I came here, I've looked forward to the day when I wouldn't be thought of as "the new girl" anymore. And this may sound bad, but I've wished that another girl would come so that maybe Mikey wouldn't tease me as much. Maybe if there's another new girl, he'll tease her instead. Well we finally have another new girl! Her name is Gabriella and she seems really nice.

I was hanging out and talking to her and some others when I saw Mikey and Dave coming. When Mikey saw Gabriella he said to her "What's up Daisy Duke?" She just giggled. I was thinking to myself "Please let Mikey walk on by without saying anything to me!" Well he did walk on by me without saying anything. But then he backed up. :( He said "Calista do you know what date Halloween is on?" and I said "Of course I do, it's the 31st!" and Mikey said "Then why are you looking like the Bride of Frankenstein TODAY?" Even the new new girl laughed. I really REALLY dislike Mikey.

This Week's Doll Purchases

I made a trip to Big Lots earlier in the week and saw that they were selling Gabriella for only $3. I could not resist her at that price.

They also had Only Hearts Club Briana Joy on sale for $5. I already have Briana Joy, but she's getting a little fuzzy on her body. She will probably not last as long as my other dolls, so I bought this one to remain in her box. I may have to open her box and retrieve her shoes and socks though!

I went to Toys "R" Us today and purchased this Princess Tiana doll for $10.99. She's staying in her box.

I finally found her! I purchased the Artsy Fashionista Barbie for $11.99. She will be leaving her box very shortly. :)

Calista's Diary Entry - Cliques

Dear Diary,

The girls here tend to hang out in cliques. For the most part, the older girls hang out together and they act like the younger girls do not exist. Sometimes, some of the girls are really mean to other girls that are not in their particular group of friends. I'm okay with most of the girls, except for the twins Hadley and Isla. I don't like them. They walk around like they think that they're royalty or something. Plus I heard that one of them made fun of Briana Joy and made her cry, and I still get very angry inside when I think about that.

The boys don't really seem to have the same problems that we girls do. I mean, sure some of them get into it sometimes, but they seem to get over it quickly. You'll see two of them scuffling one day, and then the next day they're on the basketball courts playing together.

Me and Skipper have been hanging out a lot more lately. I gave her my new cell number and she texts me all the time. She's only a little bit older than me and we get along really well. But she seems to get along with everyone. The only problem is that she only wants to hang out with me, and not my other friends. She says that I'm the mature one. I don't want to hang around her friend either (at least not Hadley and Isla). But I like hanging out with Skipper. She's pretty cool.

It's raining men!

Hallelujah! It's raining men! Amen!

I Ain't Got No Body

I saw this action figure head on eBay and I could not pass it up.

Unfortunately I do not have a body for this great head. The bodies that I have are either too light or too dark. Hopefully the Hot Toys Truetype Slim AA body will be a close enough match. If the body matches, I will pick up a couple of these and transfer this head to one of the bodies. Hopefully it will be released soon!

Temporal Anomaly

While on a mission, Captain Sisko encountered a temporal anomaly which caused him to travel back through time to certain periods in Earth history. He was very careful not to disrupt history, but photographic evidence of his presence remains.

Calista’s Diary Entry – Time Alone

Dear Diary,

Today I gave Bob a note that said “Meet me at the playhouse after school”. The playhouse is still under construction so I figured we would have a little privacy there. So I went there after school and Bob was not there. I was so nervous and my heart was beating fast and I wondered if he would show up. After a while he showed up! I saw that he had changed clothes and I wished that I had changed clothes too.

We talked for a while – maybe 30 minutes or more. He told me that I look so pretty with and without my glasses. <3>

The Homecoming dance is in 6 weeks. I think that he will ask me to go with him. I hope that he asks me! This will be my first formal dance. I wonder if my parents will let me go with Bob?????? He needs to ask me soon so that I have time to pick out the perfect dress!
