-Summer
1st Summer (opening day)
Rick always says he will enter the swimming competition and never does. Jack and Cliff looked rather edible in their shorts I must say. YumYum. My DAD won!! I had to pretend to be happy but really was deeply shamed by the sight of him with his stupid goggles stuck to his face. He had big red marks when he took thm off, how pathetic.
2nd Summer
Poppy is insanely excited about her birthday. Rick is also acting more strange than usual. hmmm...
3rd Summer
Party Party... Should I wear the hot pants or the mini skirt??
-!-!-!-!-
Rick was very protective tonight, told me not to drink too much. ME? DRINK TOO MUCH? hahahahaha. Jack was very drunk; fell or possibly pushed into the sea and soon EVERYONE was swimming. Me included, it was far too late when I realised the top I was wearing went see-through. Oopsy.
4th Summer
My headis hurting, I didn't even drink so much yesterday. Ann begged me to come shopping for a pressie for her Cliff kid so I'm leaving in a couple minutes. Where did I leave my aspirin?
-!-!-!-!-
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD...
-!-!-!-!-
Rick is going to PROPOSE?? ah aha ha hha haahahaa?! I was just teasing Ann harmlessly when she suddenly blurted it out. AAAAAAAAHHH!! Initially I was very happy because i had visions of me in very sexy dress that I saw in a bridal magazine. Then I was very very very angry with Ann for daring to conceal it from me and now I am very very scared. DO i WANT TO marry RICK? um um um...can I get back to you?
-!-!-!-!-
I kinda do but kinda dont but sorta do...
-!-!-!-!-
I do.
-!-!-!-!-
No No, I don't!!! God god god god. What will I do? I think I do, I think so. After all who else is there?
-!-!-!-!-
Jeezus. How very stressed am I?
-!-!-!-!-
very very very very very very very very.
-!-!-!-!-
Do I care if it's Cliff's birthday soon? No, ANN I do not. Is she crazy, how can she announce the rest of my life so casually? I have told her to find out what date he is planning on so I know how long I have to make up my mind.
6th Summer
Is Ann permanently stupid?? Does she think the whole world is awake by 5am or whatever the stupid time is now. I can't get back to sleep, damn her.
-!-!-!-!-
HaHaHaHaHa. Ann is soooo gonna get wasted and sleep with Cliff tonight. She says she will have a meal with him tonight in a posh restarante and then get the ferry at 10pm. The last ferry leaves at 9!!! She does not know hahahha. I think I have the right to not tell her considering the proposal thing.
-!-!-!-!-
I have less than 10 days to figure out if I'm marrying Rick, he's proposing on the fifteenth! GodGodGod.
7th Summer
HaHaHa! I am so evil, the two lovebirds (Ann and her cheating boyF) had to stay in a hotel last night and the inevitable happened, Ann is very happy. HaHaHa! She is also very grounded by that father of hers.
9th Summer
I think I shall marry Rick. I think I love him, god, aren't you meant to be sure??? ho hum ho hum shalalala. ARRRGGGH, It seems like time is going very slowly all there is in my life is the fifteenth, I have circled that date on my calender in a pink heart (so I guess it isn't really circled) and like everything is boiling down to THAT DAY. THE DAY. The suspense is...slightly annoying me.
-!-!-!-!-
I've just thought; Rick does not have impeccible taste, what if the ring is UGLY???? goshgoshgosh.
-!-!-!-!-
I will get Ann to look at it and if it is ugly she can tae him on a shopping trip to get a less ugly one.
10th Summer
With friends like ann who needs enemies?? She simply refuses to take Rick to town if it's ugly. She is so selfish sometimes. She'll only find out if it's ugly so that means Popuri will have to take him into town to choose a lovely one.
-!-!-!-!-
Who knew how hard pretending to notknow about your own wedding is.
11th Summer
GodGodGodGod.
weddings
weddings
weddings
is that all that can be in my brain?
12th Summer
I thought the mayor had a tomato stuck to his face but in actual fact it was his nose in all it's tomato festival glory. I really do think somebody should secretly send the dude some concealer.
-!-!-!-!-
YAY! Me Rick and Jack won! YAY, Ann looked v angry and I didn't even get much tomato on me!
-!-!-!-!-
Also Rick is definately nervous about proposing. Either that or he's constipated.
13th Summer
Bought a dress and marvy shoes for the BIG DAY. I am so tired of waiting. Popuri says I'm very impatient but that is not true. Speaking of Poppy she has not been very dedicated on the old friendship thing. Kai is totally leading her astray, I heard she stayed out till 4am the other night with mr. perfect. She wouldn't of done that if she had such a perfect boyfriend as me.
-!-!-!-!-
Ann is with Jack. I still think they make a greater couple than her and Cliff.
14th Summer
OMG OMG OMG OMG.
What can I dooooo? The MASSIVE DAY is t...to...tomorow! Golly golly golly.
-!-!-!-!-
I am so stressed...also can feel a zit coming on.
-!-!-!-!-
Dad says go to bed, he does not know what I am going through.
-!-!-!-!-
Popuri just rang she says Cliff rang her and that there is going to be a suprise party for Ann on the 17th, Ann's birthday. God, I forgot all about that, what am I meant to get her?? WHEN am I meant to get her it?
15th Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
help...
-!-!-!-!-
Daddy says somebody bought the blue feather in the shop. YAY YAY YAY! Also Rick asked me to come for a walk to the summit laters with him. oh my god. He's picking me up at 7pm. Better start the beauty ritual now, then.
-!-!-!-!-
God Rick will sooooo be here soon. I need a drink. Whisky will do, yes whiskey...
16th
I am engaged! Omg, it was such a romantico moment.
---Rick turned up in a tux. It was quite funny, I managed to suppress a laugh but unfortunatly that little kid, Elli's brother; Stu, burst into hysterical giggles as soon as we stepped out. Rick went so red, he is so cute when he's embarrassed. He gave me a rather crumpled boquet of flowers, roses...I think...does it matter??
Anywho we walked slowly up to the summit hand in hand talking about everything and anything. I could see his other hand in his pocket fiddling with something. The ring! When we got to the summit we sat down looking at the moon and at the trees below. It was a special moment cos all the trees were all stretched out and I thought that it was kinda like our lives cos we couldn't see over the horizon and we have so much to look forward to. (that just might be the most profound thing i ever say) Then Rick told me to stand up.
"Are we leaving already?" I asked. Rick shook his head.
"No...just trust me, Karen, and stand up." OMG My stomach was full of butterflies. They were having a bloody field day. So I stood up except I found my legs had turned to jelly but I wasn't drunk. Then he went down on one knee (well, got up on one knee since we was sitting) and grabbed my hand and said shakilly, "Karen...will you...I mean, it would be great if..." And I must of said yes before he finished cos suddenly the ring was on my finger and we were kissing like there was no tomorrow and it just felt like everything was going to be great. The ring is absolutely gorgeous, I'm glad Ann didn't make him change it. It's all diamondy and lovely and mine. It's such a great feeling, being engaged.---
Now I can't wait to plan the thing. We decided it should be in Winter...so it could be a real white wedding you know. I am so happy right now. GodGodGod, I am so suprisingly calm, quite relieved actually, the whole proposing thing was made to be so serious and important but what about the wedding? That's even scarier...and what about after that? Where can we live, what are we going to do? Imagine, little Karen/Rick's running about...scary. I wonder if I'll make a good mother? This is really surreal...
-!-!-!-!-
I'm ENGAGED! ME! Mom and Dad are so happy too, they really like Rick...they said he's way better than that Kai kid. I used to like. I used to like KAI, wow, everything's so different. Daddy also wanted to know where we intended to live when we got married, mom told him to worry about that when the time comes but it's bugging me, I s'pose we'll get Gotz to build us a home.
-!-!-!-!-
But where's the money going to come from?
17th Summer
Slept at Rick's last night, Popuri was very hysterical and happy for me. Rang Ann and toldher I'd be round later to give her her present. (A nice top I found at the bottom of my wardrobe which has never been worn, I would like it for myseslf actually but then what would I give Anny?) She reminded me that Cliff needs a job, she'd told me on THE BIG DAY but I forgot about it, better start looking for her. Apparantly Cliff only has enough money to stay till about Fall, where am I meant to get a job for Cliff? Jack doesn't need any help does he? Oh well.
-!-!-!-!-
Ann was so happy tonight. Her party wasn't a big drunken thing either, it's wierd, its like everyone has chilled out over the past year...last year we'd all be getting smashed and fawning over Kai. I have changed alot I suppose, I wonder if that's a good or bad thing?
Cliff and Ann will be getting married soon if they carry on the way they are...I almost thought he was proposing, he got her a very nice ring. Or maybe Mary and Gray will. I'm not so sure about how keen Kai really is in fact Popuri looked quite upset last night, I think they had a fallout. Oo-er, they are going to spoil this town of coupldom. Damn.
19th Summer
Found the perfect dress for my wedding! It's really beautiful but mom wanted me to wear her old one. I hope I can persuade her to let me choose this one, honestly it is sooooo lovely.
-!-!-!-!-
Oh no I was being all happy on the phone to Poppy when she burst into tears and started telling me about how she thought Kai was cheating on her and how she'd accused him and now he'd disappeared. Apparantly he'd got really angry and said she was as untrustful as all of us. How dare he say that, ok so I think he's a no good womaniser but I have never said that to his face before...Popuri must have been telling him. She is so upsest I don't know what I'm meant to say to her...geesus what the frig am I going to do about her? Rick isn't being very supporting either. He says that he told her so and is generally being not at all helpful. Ann said the same thing so I am all the support Popuri has and I'm engaged and want to be on happy gas 24hours a day so why does Popuri have to spoil it all???
Ahhhhhhh!
20th Summer
Cow festival, Jack's entering for the first time.
-!-!-!-!-
Jack won! With a cow called Ann! That's quite funny, Ann didn't find it hilarious but I and everyone else seemed to think so.
Popuri didn't turn up, she is really upset...I just hope Rick's hidden all the knives.
21st Summer
Kai's back. He came late last night and he's invited everyone but Popuri to his party tomorrow. That is really mean, how could he be so mean? He's broken Popuris heart, it's worse than the Ann/Cliff/Elli triangle Poppy's worse than Ann was, she won't speak to ANYONE, not even her mom. Rick says she's in her bedroom crying all the time, I'm going over.
-!-!-!-!-
She won't speak. She just cries. What can anyone do? Ann is being a little more compassionate but says she'll never forgive Kai.
"Kai only ran off cos he thought Popuri had found something out. That whole 'you dont trust me' thing is just him covering up." She has to agree that it's doubtful Popuri will sese it like that, though. Our dear pink-haired friend is convinced it's her fault.
-!-!-!-!-
Still enagaged! Still can hardly believe it!
22nd Summer
Me, Rick, Ann and Cliff have made sure we won't be going to Kai's party, we're camping outside Popuri's room in the hope it'll prove she has people who still care about her.
We tried to persuade Mary and Gray but they said they weren't missing the event of the summer. Huh.
24th Summer
Just been to see fireworks down at the beach with Rick. Popuri has still not entered the land of the happy. Rick's getting quite desperate, it must be pretty shitty for him with a mom who's so ill and now his sister refusing to help out at the farm and whowill barely even eat. Kai is so selfish.
Anyway I offered to help out for the rest of the summer or untill Popuri's up to it again. Tried to get Ann to do it as well but she is too preoccupied with Cliff again.
25th Summer
It's quite fun looking after chickens. However one of the little bastards wants to reproduce with my leg. I thought it was only dogs that do that.
27th Summer
Popri has emerged from her bedroom of tears! Apparantly Kai rang to apologise, she's meeting him right now...if she forgives him I'll kill her I really will. All that pink hair smothers her brain sometimes I think.
-!-!-!-!-
Ann and Cliff are going to the city for a weekend break! I want a weekend break now. However I dread to think where she's getting the money from, her dad's bankaccount most probably. Cliff is broke still. Which reminds me...I was meant to find a job for him, wasn't I? Whoopsy.
28th Summer
Popuri is BACK WITH KAI?! What a brainless idiot. Ann suddenly has sympathy with her though cos she 'knows how poppy feels' well they are both idiots and me and Mary are the only people with decent boyfriends. Oh! Except that Gray kissed Ann and Mary doesn't know, so thay means I am the only one with a decent boyfriend...I mean fiance!! I am very pleased with myself, I might go and gloat alot to Ann for a couple hours.
29th Summer
Ann has gone to the big city for her weekend break. Popuri has buggered off with Mr. sudenly-perfect-again-Kai so I'm left alone all alone, except I got Rick. AND i found a job for Cliff! Jack is going to be working in the orchard this Fall and says Cliff is welcome to give him a hand. I am such a caring sharing person.
-!-!-!-!-
YayYayYayYay! Rick and me have set a date for the wedding, we want to have it on the 15th of Winter cos that's mid-winter and is cool and stuff cos he rpoposed in mid-summer. It's etting extremely real all of a sudden, it was serious before but now it's definate, I love my ring, whatever happens I'll NEVER take it off.
30th Summer
Wow.
It's almost a year since I sarted this diary and my whole life has changed. I look at earlier entries and I seem like such a little kid then. Now I'm just a year older and engaged and everything's different. It's probably been the best year of my life.
-!-!-!-!-
HOW SAD DO I SOUND?? WHERE HAS THE HAPPY NOT SERIOUS KAREN THE GREAT GONE???
-!-!-!-!-
I'm grabbing Rick and a bottle of wine and running up to the hot springs and then I'm going downto the beach to enjoy the last of the summer sun.
:-)
-=-=-=-=-
A/N woohoo finished the damn thing fianally! Plz read Ann's diary if you haven't. I'm doing Poppy's next and then Mary's methinks. please r/r cos it will make my tragic day. Also if you've read both diaries can you tell me if the writing's style's too similar. I really tried to make them different people and make them write differently and describe stuff differently but kinda gave up towards the end. thanks for reading.

It's etting extremely real all of a sudden, it was serious before but now it's definate, I love my ring, whatever happens I'll NEVER take it off.
30th Summer
Wow.
It's almost a year since I sarted this diary and my whole life has changed. I look at earlier entries and I seem like such a little kid then. Now I'm just a year older and engaged and everything's different. It's probably been the best year of my life.

HOW SAD DO I SOUND?? WHERE HAS THE HAPPY NOT SERIOUS KAREN THE GREAT GONE???

I'm grabbing Rick and a bottle of wine and running up to the hot springs and then I'm going downto the beach to enjoy the last of the summer sun.

A/N woohoo finished the damn thing fianally! Plz read Ann's diary if you haven't. I'm doing Poppy's next and then Mary's methinks. please r/r cos it will make my tragic day. Also if you've read both diaries can you tell me if the writing's style's too similar. I really tried to make them different people and make them write differently and describe stuff differently but kinda gave up towards the end. thanks for reading.
