My fingers are bleeding! Well, not really, 2004-01-07 -- 5:02 p.m.

Dear Diary, I have been practicing my guitar for like 2 and a half hours, I can play World Beat really, really slowly, and I can play the first measure of Ode to Joy really fast. I hope my guitar teacher won't be all pist off at me. She is really scary. Plus I am a perfectionist, and I need more stars next to the stuff I play, I need those stars.

I hope there is school tomorrow because Jessica says she got me a Christmas present, because I got her one... I hope its something cool... Like tickets to Big Fish. haha.

Anyways, I hope that all of the 7th grade girls put on 15 pounds over the break. I'm glad I didn't.
