Diary Entry: December 19, Age 14
As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting excerpts from my actual teenage diaries! We just had our Winter Concert. It was very good. The chorus was really together, and we got raves. Mmm. I love getting clapped at. Applauded at (sounds better.) I feel good. I think I’m starting to be someone…

As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting excerpts from my actual teenage diaries! PS How’d I get one day behind on the calendar? Sorry about that! It’s Pajama Day at school tomorrow (isn’t that cute? senior year rules!!) I get to party out in my PJs! However, there might not even be…

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…

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

As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting excerpts from my actual teenage diaries! I feel so melancholy. Because of Christmas, where my life is leading, and the French quiz tomorrow. I had a long talk with dad today about my acting, school, and life in general. It was cool, I guess. What…

My sister Annie (pictured above, in NY last year) just called me from Boston, from work, just so that we could laugh at her laryngitis and the squeak! honk! squeeeeak! that replaced her usual pleasant tones. She runs a infant day care at Harvard and she said the babies were not too happy with the…

As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting excerpts from my actual teenage diaries! Megan Kris Kringled my locker today! I got all sorts of groovy stuff. Jean Naté Body Splash, cookies, candy, a tiny jigsaw puzzle. I’m doing hers tomorrow — I got her cookies, lip gloss, a pomander ball, and Halston…

As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting excerpts from my actual teenage diaries! The best time I’ve had on Christmas was when I was very young. Now, I just participate but there’s a lot more spectating. I wasn’t all filled with that happy anticipation. But that’s growing up, I suppose. I’m going…

As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting excerpts from my actual teenage diaries! [backstory: i have no idea.] I’m really upset. I have been intermittently screaming, crying — and then laughing hysterically, all day. I truly do not want to go into it, all in all it was a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE day.…

I’m heading down to LA tomorrow night for another PonyShow (with two actual friends who are making the trek with me! Jeanie and Carla get to go to an extra-special heaven, for being the only non-LA friends to come to my show. This is Jeanie’s second time, even! extra cookies for her.) It’s going to be…
