1:SUMMER ------------- Cliff's so HOT!!! --------------
17th SUMMER (yay summer ROCKS)
3.15pm
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, blah blah blah etc etc...Well today was my birthday (duh) And boy WHAT a birthday. Gee daddy just got me the best god damn present ever and he doesn't even know it!!! Today just happened to be the day when we got the hottest guy you ever did see come to stay at our inn! Forget anything I ever ever said about the inn being a crap-ass buissness and boring and mundane and that cooking is boring... I'd cook for CLIFF (ohmygod ohmygod) any day. He really is one HOT guy. I need more excuses to go see him. Only prob is; he keeps going to church!!!! WHAT.IS.WRONG.WITH.HIM?? Not that I think church is bad or anything. IM a christian but it SURE IS BORING!! Why on earth would a cute guy like him wanna go to church half the time???
5.08pm
Me and Karen have just been to see that old guy on the Mountain-foot Farm and he is ill. Karen wanted to help him out, she's pretty kind hearted when you get to know her but she can't farm for nuts! And I'm pretty sure she'd be bored after two minutes. She only want's to look after the little lambs that have just been born. Anyway apart from CLIFF (!!!!) nothing interesting has happened. Oh, Rick hit on Karen AGAIN, she didn't lead him on or anything (or so she says) but I can tell when somebody is smitten and Karen so obviosly likes him really. She's just worried I'll think she's weird for liking RICK. Karen thinks cliffy-boy is seriosly sexy too but she can just BaCk OFF! Everyone loves Karen...well boys I mean. Kai told me once he thought she was cute and really great... and rick, obviosly and I'm pretty sure the doc likes her too. It's so unfair. The only person who doesn't think she'd make a good wife is that weirdo Gray but he likes Mary and Mary's just as weird as him. They suit each other.
20th SUMMER (still HOT HOT HOT)
6.35pm
Well cow festie today and it sure as hell was booorrrr-innnggg, only Cliff was there so like, I haadddd to go. And Karen went and stood by Rick talking to him all day. She said she was bored and that she couldn't talk to me cos I was "Oggling and gabbling nonsense about Cliff" Oh yeah? Another petty excuse to cover up her love for Rick. I told her this and she just laughed. "I have nothing to hide, I do NOT have a crush on him. I just think he's sweet, is all." And then ran away before I could bat her over the head with something. She is SUCH a liar!!! Ooh Ooh and Elli was totally hitting on Cliff, I could of killed her!!! How dare she? This is my future husband we are talking about. They were sitting in the restaraunt together having a drink. Elli NEVER drinks. It's so obvious, she sat inside nearly all day (it was a wednesday and she wasn't at the clinic) and when he came in (FROM CHURCH...AgAiN!) she made a beeline for him. Elli is so desperate. The doctor is so in love with her and she doesn't even know it!! Me and Karen asked Popuri to come swimming on the 23rd at the beach but she has a date with Kai. Heh-heh, Rick was NOT happy about that, neither was Karen either. Rick is so protective of Popuri and Karen has had a crush on Kai since forever. I admit I have too but not in the way I have a Crush on Cliff. Karen was fuming but calmed down quite quickly compared to her usual moods. She was still gutted though. Oh well that's life, I guess. If I were Karen and Cliff were Kai, though, Popurii would have to dieeeeee!!!
22nd SUMMER (Kai Kai's b-day)
9.06pm
Karen had to go to the party at Kai's shack. I had to be dragged along naturally for *moral support* she's known Kai all her life and Popuri was gonna be there, why did she need moral support from me? "Cos Rick's gonna be there!" She said. Oh Riiiiiiiighty, NOW the truth comes out. She's gonna hit on Rick and needs me there to pretend it was a joke if anything goes wrong. Ha! Well I wasn't going to be dragged to Kai's overestimated party's where all the girls hang themselves from his arms and get completedly drunk outta their skulls. Plus I knew what Karen was like when wine was around...she's embarrased me enough times. "C'mon, Ann!" She begged. "No." I stood firm. Kai isn't gorgeous enough to make me sit, bored for hours on end. "It'd be fun, and what if get I drunk and when Rick hits on me I end up going home with him???" I laughed. "You have this all planned out don't you??" I said. "No way!" Karen laughed. "I'm never going to get off with that eeejit, Rick and you know it!" She said, folding her arms. "I know you want to!" I teased. "Shut up! Now are you coming to the party or not?" Karen switched the conversation around again. "No." I said. "We could ask Cliff..." Karen said, giggling. "YOU ask him!" I said. No way was I going to make a fool of myself. "I'M not asking him on a date, we've never said a word to each other before in our lives!!" She shouted. Why are conversations with Karen so difficult? "Well, you suggested it, I'm only going to that party if Cliff is there." I told her. "I'm NOT going to ask him..." Karen stopped halfway through the sentence and scowled at me. "Oh, fine, I'll go alone. If Rick rapes me..." She pointed a manicured finger at me, an empty threat. Karen wouldn't hurt a fly really. "If he even TRIES you would deck him." I said, laughing. When it came to boy's and Karen, however, there were no rules. So Karen will be at the party right now. No doubt kissing Rick right this second... Cliff is up in his room, he didn't go. I don't know why Karen was making such a big deal outta it...she has known Popuri since she was tiny. They were like best buddies for two years in high school untill I was her bestest best mate.
24th SUMMER (fireworks yahoo!)
9.57am
Karen says the party was sucky... She says Rick didn't try anything (I said "Maybe that's why you thought it was sucky eh eh?" and she hit me) but he came back with a big smile on his face and so did Karen so who knows? Kai was kissing Popuri apparantly (bitch! bitch!) in the seaside shack. But nobody knows for sure. Oh yeah!? I will by the end of this week!!! Daddy says I have t help him out more at the restaurant now. I don't want to really. I'd rather help out at church...in fact I might ask the pastor if there are any jobs going! Only...then my dad would get mad. Oh well! Cliff is way more important than family. I've been working alot today and Cliff was sitting eating and reading some book all lunchtime and I got to wait on him!! He was really polite but pretty shy. He just mumbled his orders and 'please' and 'thankyou' and stuff. Oh well, he looked so cute all the same!! The only person who chats to him right now is Gray and he is really quiet, I do know him though. We used to be great friends when we were kiddies. Maybe I can get to know him again, I'll need an excuse though....Well tonight is firework night. I can't wait. Kai always sells alot on firework night. I don't know why but I'm beginning to not like Kai. He seems so arrogant and annoying. Karen is still in lurve with him, though. She was ranting all day about how unfair it was that Popuri got off with him in his own shack! I don't think she's ever been in before, neither have I come to think of it...
11pm
Hey Hey! Fireworkys were cool! Cliff looked really really HOT tonight, in the light of the fireworks. He was standing next to Gray and I TRIED to go over to them but I just couldn't, damn it. Looks like Popuri and Kai ARE a couple (cue jealous Karen), they were holding hands and sitting on the peir all night, just talking. Rick was standing next to Karen all night looking arkward and lonely and Karen just ignored him. One day Rick is gonna give up and she's gonna miss the attention she got from him. Oh well...I'm really tired *yawn* and gotta work tomorrow at the bar. Argh.
28th SUMMER (Sun getting bor-ing now)
3.12pm
My dad made a big fuss of the Mayor's birthday on the 25th so I was working all day. In fact all I seem to be doing is working. I am so sick of it!! Cliff eats his lunch here everyday but just recently daddy's had me cooking instead of waiting tables because I seem "distracted" I complained but he's so strict... Me and Karen's plans to go swimming were ruined. She went with Popuri and Kai instead but complained cos "Kai never hit on me once." She thinks one guy not liking her as much as somebody else is strange *rolls eyes* dear god help us all, heh-heh.
30th SUMMER (getting pretty cold brrr)
11.42am
Karen was annoyed cos Kai and Popuri made a big show of kissing as he left. Popuri is gutted her new boy-friend is gone and Rick is totally annoyed with her for sneaking out night after night to hangout with Kai. Cliff and I were chatting today (yippee) about the old farmer up at the farm again. He's sold all his animals because it's getting to much for him and the harvest sprites. Those little freaks work so hard and The farmer is in bed half the day. Popuri had offered to look after the chickens for a while but he said it'd be better if they were just gone. His cows have all went back to barley farm but the sheep are staying on his for a while cos they can just eat the grass and be hardly any trouble. The doc's been up there with Elli to check on him and predicted that the guy's on his last legs!! Pretty depressing, he's been here since forever. I wasn't so interested but Cliff was curious about whose gonna take over if the old man dies.I have no idea...he doesnt have any sons does he? *shrug* I asked him why he's at church so much. "Thinking stuff over." He said. He must have an awful lot of boring stuff to think about. Oh well, it's officially Fall tomorrow but I think the world thought it was a couple days ago...it's been really windy and pretty cold.
* Authors note: Theres alot of american sayings and some englishy ones too so just for the record americans- GUTTED- means really upset and GET OFF WITH- does not mean what you think but where I live it means to snog, kiss blah blah. SNOG- means kiss. with tounges (usually) PEED OFF/PISSED OFF: annoyed FANCY-to have a crush on, LUSH- very fine, hot, cute, sexy (whatever).
