Hello everyone! Diary of My 7-Year-Old Self turned 1 today! I know I've been slacking on the posts for a while but that's only because I couldn't find any new material from when I was younger. I recently found 3 more journals from my brother and I so I will begin posting again soon!

Last nite I saw Billy Jowel. His drummer whes throig drum sticks and I gut one uv the sticks.
Translation- Last night I saw Billy Joel. His drummer was throwing drum sticks and I got one of the sticks.
This concert is still one of the best memories of my childhood, I still have that drum stick in my room at home, and I still freaking LOVE Billy Joel. My parents took me to this concert and it was perfect. I love how I drew this and how I spelled "Jowel" instead of "Joel" because now I can picture Billy Joel as a bulldog named "Bully Jowel".
This is a long post but this is so funny to me. If someone can do a good photoshop of my description of "Bully Jowel" I'll send you a hand written thank you letter or something and post your photoshopped picture of Bully Jowel on this blog. Ok, rant over!
