Notes From Herb
Monday Night 7:30pm
Today during journal time I saw Junie B. writing in her journal. I wonder what she writes about. Does she write about me?! No. She doesn't. Stupid May was reading her journal… AGAIN. This time she didn't rip the page out. Of course, I don't think Junie B. got to finish her entry. When May said, "What goony boy would like you?" my first thought was, "I would." And the guys stood up for her too. I wonder if they like her????? Also today, Mr. Scary announced that we had to make plans for Valentine's Day. Junie B. suggested that all the first grade glasses get together for a big party. That was an amazing idea. She comes up with the most amazing ideas. She is amazing. Well, I'm mega tired. Good night.
-Best Moment
Seeing Junie B. :)

-Frightening Thought

"What guy wouldn't like Junie B.?" –Lennie (I HATE that guy. Oh wait, he's my best guy friend)

Notes From Herb
Tuesday Night 7:30 pm
Ugh. I'm SO tired. I am ALWAYS thinking about her. Junie B. 3 I slept the whole bus ride to school and back. Or tried. But Junie B. just kept on talking. Not that I mind hearing her voice at all. =] But she is kinda the thing that kept me up in my bed thinking about her until 2 in the morning. There was some guy behind us who snapped her overalls. I swear I would have hurt him too, but I was way tired. I guess it's some random guy she knew last year. I noticed that when the school bus stopped at school, she wasn't sitting next to me. His name is Jim. She wouldn't shut up about him. And every time I asked her what was so special about the guy and if they were enemies why were they suddenly friends now? She said she couldn't tell me. =[ Whatever. Super tired. Night.
-Best Moment
Nothing. I would say knowing I'll be asleep soon, but I won't be. Because I'll be thinking about my stupid love for that stupid girl that I stupid love.
-Weird Thought
Love? =/
-Frightening Thought
She loves that guy Jim?! =O
-"" of the day
"No, not sleeping, Junie B. Sleepy. I'm tired. I didn't get much sleep last night." –Me
-? Of the day
"Only, does grammar even matter right now, Herbert?" –Junie B. (She smile her 1000 watt smile at me. 3)
End Time: 7:55
Herb PoV
I set down my journal, back on my bookcase. My mom came in and tucked me into bed. I looked up at my ceiling fan, knowing I wasn't getting any sleep tonight. And then, she popped into my head. I smiled like crazy. And then he did too. Ugh. My tongue involuntarily stuck out in disgust and I grimaced. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. And then I whispered, quietly, and just to myself.
"I really hate that stupid Jim."
A/N: So, what did yall think??? I myself quite liked it. Now we know why Herb hasn't been sleeping like he should.
And that whole "Notes From Herb" thing and the format of his journal, I actually just based that off of my journal.
I call it "Notes From Girl X" and that is always at the top of the page, along with the day of the week.
Then I put the entry number (you know, day 1, day 2, day 3, etc), and the time it is when I start. (all on the same line)
I then summarize the day, get anything I feel important in there.
I move on to the best moment, which is stating what I really thought what the best thing that happened that day was.
The weird thought is just anything random; it doesn't have to relate to anything I had stated in the summary or best moment. It's almost something sporadic.
The frightening though is something I fear. This usually DOES have to do with what I had said in the summary. Sometimes it's even the same as the weird thought.
Then the quote and question of the day (on separate lines) are just a really funny or memorable quote and question from the day.
I then sign the signature I use for that journal and then I state the end time.
I used to take only 7 minutes to finish the whole entry, but lately, it's taken me significantly longer, even longer than it has taken Herb to write his. =] By the way, that wasn't the real time. I decided to make them rather lengthy because I imagine Herb as a thoughtful young man, and sometimes it could take a while to write down all of his feelings. Oh, and if any of you guys or girls have been thinking about what format to use for a journal or diary, feel free to use this one. It's not copyrighted or anything. Although… =] Anyway, hope you all enjoyed not only the story, but the Author's Note. =D BYE!!!
