Welcome to the longest review.. of all time.
So, Morgan, have you been looking at your stats lately and maybe thinking to yourself "Who the hell is reading 200 entries at a time and what could they possibly want with me?"
Yeah, that's me. Because I read it all. That's right. 1359 entries. All of it.
So, how can I even possibly begin to start this review? I'm like.. nervous. Because I've read so much of your life, and I've seen how you've changed, and I'm a little jealous because I've had my diary for almost 3 years and I can't even compare to all the changes you've been through.
We first meet you in October of 2000. You're in high school or some kind of college thing that I'm not sure about about, and you're talking about boys:
"I'm so desperate for a crush. For a while, I was ok, but now there's no one in my life i can have a crush on. Seriously, I can't think of one boy I can obsess about and stay up nights thinking about and have false hope for. Sigh."
And here's a quote from a relatively recent entry -
"He’s also severely insecure that, because I’m movin’ on up in the world, I’m just going to leave him behind. I’ve explained to him my thoughts on our relationship – I love being the breadwinner when I have someone to take care of the house – but he’s afraid I’ll meet some schmaltzy businessschmuck and kick him out. Considering what I’ve been through to stay with him (fights-to-the-death-of-reasoning with my mom, severe emotional trauma, several pairs of shoes the dog chewed up), it seems unlikely I’d take off now."
I was so intruiged by your love life. Mostly because the tone of your entries just shifted so much after you met Aaron.. it was like you forced yourself to grow up once he came into your life. The reason why you guys work really made sense to me, and I could really, truly identify with not wanting to do the things I'm good at lest I find out that I really suck at it.
Your break-up entries are really some of the best heartbreak entries I've ever seen, and man, have I seen a lot of them. And I completely understood how weird it is to go back to someone who wronged you because you have to make your own decisions; yet your friends have their own agendas and it's hard to really be honest about what's really going on.
I also really admired this entry about missing him when he had to get his surgery. It made me really wish I had something like that.
I didn't mean to talk so much about your boy situation, but yeah.
I like your 75 Things list, and how it shows how you've grown. That's cool.
As far as your life here at Diaryland goes, I wasn't so into your Bridget Jones phase and I'm really glad you outgrew that. Also, somewhere along the way you started using capital letters, which almost made me sad. It was like you were conforming to d-land tradition or something. Damn the man!
I'm so glad that you've left the cutting and the college-days depression that had you not going to work and not doing anything else, either. You deserve the happiness that you've found with your boy and San Francisco and your job, although that new one doesn't sound like so much fun. And also, there is such a thing as 24 year old receptionist with a college degree. Not that I'm bitter.
But seriously? You've been through a lot of crap, and you've dealt with it, and there's so many things I admire you for, but I already sound like a psycho stalker lesbian as it is.
This review can quite possibly go on forever, so here's a little list of notes I've made:
-I was jealous of your MSCL hair;
- This is one of the most amazing entries ever;
- I did read the book the Gymnast when I was little - it was greatness;
- I feel the same way after watching the Sex and the City DVDs;
- I hate this too (Like, Legally Blonde.. why do we need to know?);
- You are an awesome friend and I would like to come across someone like you someday;
- This is the most eloquent entry I've seen on D-Land.
And, most importantly..
I know you don't think that you're a good writer, but having read almost 4 years of your life, I would have to strongly disagree with that. This is one of my favorite entries and I really think it highlights the awesomeness that is your writing. Go ahead, don't believe me. That's fine, cuz I know the truth.
I heart your doggy. And, this was such an awesome picture of you, and when I saw it, it kind of summed up your whole diary for me. That picture is so... you. Or something.
So, we've come to the end of this review, where I usually give a score. I don't mean to sound like a crazy stalker woman, but over the past 2 weeks I've been reading your diary, I really felt like I got to know you. I almost felt like I was reading a novel. And I almost feel like I know you.. like if I picked up the phone right now and called you, we could talk for hours. Which would be weird for you, but whatever! I have a combined total of 1294 entries, so start reading!
I think I'm actually going to miss reading your diary. Obviously, you're going on my buddy list. And I just don't know what to give you for a score. So, I'll just give you a 10/10 and a big thumbs up and call it a day, because even that can't really describe what I feel about your diary.
