July 2003: Dear Diary, I've just met him; the man of my dreams. He is so gorgeous, and he's promised me so much. First, let me tell you a little about him. He's French, but the family is originally Greek, so you know he's got swagger. Everyone loves him, but he chose me. I can't believe it! You should have seen the glares I got from some of the other towns. If looks could kill!
October 2004: Dear Diary, What a whirlwind it's been. Those Europeans are so...I don't know... Sophisticated?! You should see some of the food they eat! Anyway, he's told me that I've got to stop telling everyone that we're together. "Our 'heart' must remain between us, cherie," he said. Oooh. I love that accent. Anyway he said that some people are still a little jealous of our involvement, so I need to tone it down. I'm just so happy to have him and I don't want to risk upsetting him. I think he can have quite a temper.
July 2005: My Dearest Diary, I am soooooo excited. I think he's going to do it...Yes that's right he's going to ask. I overheard him talking the other day about "large piece of ice" for me. I can't believe it; I might be getting a ring! I've been waiting for this since the day we met; I knew that I was right to hang in through those tough periods. I knew that it would work out in the end.
October 2005: Dear Diary, Sometimes I think that you're the only one who cares about me. I can't believe what happened. Remember that "ice" I wrote about? He offered to the town up the street. I feel so used.
June 2006: Diary, She may say "No." I can't believe I still have a chance. Cross your fingers for me!
August 2006: Dear Diary, She said "No" to the ice, but he passed right by me. I'm so heartbroken.
July 2008: Diary, He had made me another promise. He said going to stop by everyday on his way home, now I learn that he's just going to go right by. I know that if I can get him to, then I can show him how special I am. Now I'm not sure how to do that. Have I been gullible all this time?
January 2009: Diary, Okay, now I'm angry. He called and asked if some of his family could stay with me. Can you believe it? After all I've been through! I told him, no, of course, but he started that "cherie" crap again. "I've been fooled by your smooth talk too often before, mister. " I told him. But diary, can I tell you something... I still hold a torch for him.
March 2009: Dear Diary, So he sent out the invitations with directions, and I didn't even get a mention. It's like I don't exist. And that's how he sees me a nothing, an inconvenience. Diary, I've been such a fool for so long.
