As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting excerpts from my actual teenage diaries!

[backstory: “danny” is no one you know, i swear]

I can’t stop thinking about the way Danny kissed me. That exactly is what I’m missing from my life — not sex, exactly, but KISSES!! That sounds dumb, but it’s true. And here I am going after all the guys who it’s gonna take YEARS to get CLOSE to kissing. I mean, I’m at the age where I can date boys who have grown up. This is bad, though. I really should be concentrating on loving DANE!!
