June 2000 -2A Chapter by Reya Jun 5 In the evening me and dad ordered a pizza and watched a TV
show about orangutans. Discovery channel documentary or something it
was... It was so interesting I want to write about it. It starts
with a mum orangutan playing with its babies. The narrator tells the story
about the orangutan's family. A little orangutan is growing up. Once on a walk
with mum they meet another mum with a child. the children play together for a
bit but the mums walk off and they follow. Later there is fire in the jungle
and the orangutan gets lost. He is found by humans and they take him into care.
After some time, that baby orangutan he has met before is brought in too, as
his mother has died. They become friends. When they were released back in the
nature they were together. But after a few years they fall apart. The first
orangutan grows up smart and he is ready to find a mate and leave offspring.
The other did not manage to become independent. He still hangs out around the
reserve where humans had raised him... Interesting isn't it? And it's a real story! Just like with
people. By the way, I have never mentioned what I want to be in the future. I
think more than anything I want to either be a kindergarten teacher or a person
who cares for animals or poor and sick people. Jun 7 I came across a movie at night starring Val Kilmer. He was from an old movie called Willow I had watched some time ago
and I was thinking of him as good looking. I thought it would be an
interesting show but it turned out to be very stupid. The role he played was
even a bit perverted. Even good looking men are pervs! Why? It's not fair! Ah I
am just trying to say that it's another reminder for me that I shouldn't talk
to boys and men. Jun 10 Dad let me use the internet at work again. I met a girl from
Australia who was 13. She asked something about period and whether I wear a
bra. I could not understand why. But apart from that chatting was fun. She
likes Britney Spears and S Club 7. Her nickname was Cutie. But then she left. I
cleaned up when back home and moved the couch in my room. I watched the Anne
Frank movie a little but again. Then I went to take a bath and there I read
while thinking about how I want to pierce my ears and about Anne. I can't put
it into words but I felt good. Like there is nothing else that I need and
nothing but now exists. P.S. I think I got it! It's the feeling of being carefree
and like there is nothing I have to be thinking about it. Such an interesting
feeling. At the same time there is some sadness too. Anne Frank has some
magical powers! I so should go to Amsterdam when I grow up! The
hiding place where the diary was written is located there. Jun 12 After school and homework I decided to stick up some curtains
over my couch that I sleep on. I found a heap of old sheets and chose some.
Looks gorgeous! At night I watched the movie called Basketball Diaries until
12. About bad boys. Who steal and do drugs and dirty stuff. Some bits were too
scary or disgusting to watch. But overall I liked the movie. I think it's
because I liked the boys' friendship. Thy were such good friends! I am a little
jealous. I do write that I don't need friends but I mean that I cannot imagine
what it would have been like to have a lot of friends. If I could start
everything from scratch, it would have been nice to have friends. Jun 13 At night I called mum because dad was meant to but he didn't
come home. Mum had such a voice!! When I told her that dad is at a friend's
watching soccer she got very disappointed for some reason. I really don't
understand why. Why are we so bad at understanding each other? And for some
reason I had tears streaming down as we spoke. I think it's because I felt very
sorry for mum. About the way she has been raised and maybe a little because she
is my mum. I love mum when she is happy and is smiling. She used to be like
that some long time ago. It is a pity she has changed so much. I enjoyed my bed so much tonight again! I opened the window,
put some music on and it was amazing! Even just thinking that I have curtains
over the bed made me feel happy. I really want to do diving after all. I mean diving off a
board. I had tried just a little in the past and I loved it. It feels like you
are flying. I need to convince dad because I only have this year left. © 2018 Reya |
