The Mind of Sarah Part 2
FOUND by Nicholas in Arizona
A friend of mine (janitor) found a diary while taking out the trash. Sarah is just your average boy crazy 5th grader. This is Part 2.

Yeah, why would any parent want their daughter dating a guy with morals. Haha.

OOH there it is, mysteriously back on my screen. Having raised a Gentile daughter, and been involved in the antics of her adolescence, I feel for this kid, her parents, and the Mormi youth mentioned. I live in Utah, am surrounded by the Chosen, thus uniquely qualified to comment.

I love the use of quotation marks here. Totally improper, but I love it. Also the caps at the end. Bad form, but here I love it!

Ooo, ooo! I can translate the Japanese at the top of the page, if anyone needs help with it!

And we can all agree that if there's anything worse than a Mormon, it's a "stupid Mormon".

Sad, too, how the original writer was struck blind toward the end of her second page and had to start writing all large all of a sudden.

I'm just wondering why someone would take their diary to school and throw it out.

OH wait -- that said Mormon!

Wouldn't want that either...they wear those strange special underwear.

I love the smell of religious hypocrisy in the morning...way to raise Christ-like children: "If they're not like us, then they're bad people."

My religion is better than your religion and will lead you to peace and harmony. Follow it or I will cause you harm, on God's behalf of course.

Kris in NJ, it's very likely that she took her diary to school and someone else stole it, read it hoping to get some good ammo, then disposed of it. (and probably harassed poor Sarah forevermore.)

Sarah's dad is a school teacher. He found the diary. The he totally flipped out after reading it and threw it in the trash.

I'm with you, sweetie. Fifth grade WAS totally disgusting. All the drama, the girl fights, the "cooties", the secrets and lies...it was like an episode of "Another World." Hell, it *was* another world. Not a world I miss, either. My fifthgrade teacher was menopausal and erratic in the extreme, and her claim to fame was that she had been my *father's* fifth-grade teacher, as well, so supposedly she knew all about me already. So of course I spent that year trying to surprise her--not pleasantly, I might add.

@Kris: didn't you ever read "Harriet the Spy"? She took her diary to school and some of the smart-arsed kids stole it, read it in out loud and then trashed it, first finishing the final entry (which explains the aberrantly large writing in a different hand). They will now tease her mercilessly about the content for the rest of the year. She'll probably end up getting transferred. Poor kid.

If only she had bought the kind of diary with a lock on it, like I had in 5th grade. Then her thoughts would have remained private!

fooch in side today, wondering where to start
You go, Librarian! After yesterday, we are all smarter in reading Japanese.

Yuck. I hate religious-ness that creates narrow-minded attitudes. Maybe that is why the diary was in the garbage...Sarah reread her entries when she got older and was totally embarrassed.

@ Somethingorother, Phoebe and Dogbreath:

Why are we assuming she's Christian?

Somethingorother, you were very quick to assume "religious hypocrisy". Maybe all we have is a case (or two) of antitheist prejudice?

There will be "for sure som trouble" when ten year old Sarah gets knocked up by a stupid Mormon! But then maybe he'll convert to being a "Jew Catholic" and everything will work out ok.

What does it say.. "Good thing Alec won't be here in 7th grade because he wants to see some Jordan that is so, so beautiful!" ??

Is this a religious reference? Holy land of Jordan? Chance is doing the same thing? Are they transferring to a Morman school?

And what about 6th grade?

Phoebe Muse, I just flashed on a West Side Story spoof that was in a movie I saw recently. I think Will Farrell was in it. I think I remember the movie wasn't too good, but I laughed at that one scene.

Clover- When I was growing up, my older sisters had those diaries with locks on 'em. Not difficult to pick. Piece of cake. (but back when they kept their diaries, there was nothing interesting going on. When things started getting interesting, the diary fad was abandoned.

@ Kris and Orinoco: It's equally baffling why a school employee would violate a student's privacy like this. If this kid finds her stuff posted on the web like this it will cost the school about $100,000 in lawyers and settlements and the janitor is for sure out of a job.

Figures. The entire entry is about a boy and toward the end when she finally touches on something of substance it is somewhat offensive.

Everyone thought Sarah was going out with Alek. Sarah really was in love with Alek, but she could not go out with him because her parents hated Mormons. She was mad at the world and she was only ten years old.

Terrie thanks for the insight. These Mormi consider themselves the "Right" Christians. They only have about a dozen different factions. Clover, there is a Jordan Utah so we can all go to the holy land here in Zion without leaving the USA. When I move to Pa.I will become a fraud because I will not change the sign-on.

Trixie's tutu
this creeps me out that this "janitor" is reading this girls diary. can you say "sex offender"? weirdo!
+ July 03, 2009 08:29 AM +
I guess perception is 9/10 of the law.
Oh come ON, Trixie. First of all, there is such a thing as a FEMALE janitor. (or wait. would she be called a janiteuse?)

Secondly, gender aside, if you Find a diary or notebook in the trash and you're a person who likes Finding things, you read it, right? It's why Found Magazine gets so many hits each and every day. It's why we Love Found Magazine. Because we like that little glimpse into someone else's reality.

Does that make Fans of Found sex offenders? child molesters? pedophiles? Really? IMO your comment is what's creepy.

Disappointed in Utah
Wow that is sad. The plural of Mormon is Mormons, not Mormi, that sounds like a disease. I am a Mormon, and I'm just a normal person who lives probably a very similar life to yourself, and P.S. we are Christians, too, as we do believe in Christ. Props to you people who think that discriminating against someone for their religion is wrong. We don't need anymore Hitlers in the world, kids. I love being a Mormon! I'm sorry that there is a bad stigma for my religion, but as I live in America, I can do as I chose.

You're just a "normal" person... except most people, even completely crazy people, think you're nuts. All religions are for the weak-minded and intellectually incurious (or the charlatans that invent and control them), but even by those standards, Mormonism is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Second only to Scientology in the "obviously ridiculous shit that people actually believe" pantheon. On the other hand, people like that will believe anything you tell them, so long as God (or at least Jesus) is invoked. Such people are useful. To wit: Come on, baby, they tell me it tastes just like candy.

The standard "discriminating against us for being crazy assholes is discrimination" line is humorous in its obliviousness to reality. Well, duh it's discrimination: that's the point. Calling people "Hitler" also figures prominently in the playbook, but it's a clearly fallacious accusation: Hitler didn't single out Europe's Jewry for extermination because he thought that their religious beliefs created a climate of insanity and inhumanity, which is the major beef people have with Mormons. The source of intolerance toward Mormons is actually Mormon intolerance of others. Nor does anyone who makes fun of Mormons really want to see them killed. But people that ritualistically rape children, whatever religion they may belong to and for whatever reason they may cite, should be violently opposed if necessary.

Ultimately, we can all believe whatever we want, but it's our actions that affect others. If you choose to act like a crazy fucker, be prepared to be treated as one. Ditto for Cathliocs.
