As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting actual excerpts from my actual teenage diaries!
[backstory: I was new to town, and it was my first year of high school. The only girl who would befriend me was Naomi — she had a bad reputation and got me in a lot of trouble the year we hung out. Her boyfriend Bobby was a senior (gasp!) Herein lies the gist of a doomed double date with a friend of Bobby’s named Gerry.]
Well, the Big Date was a Big Drag. Gerry left early (SATS in Connecticut tomorrow morning) and, as usual, I was the unwanted third person in the triangle/line segment of Bobby, Naomi and me. Gerry seemed mad at the fact that Bobby was so high he couldn’t stop talking — Gerry abruptly dropped us off at the dance at the Reformed Church. Bobby and Naomi made out while I just felt bugged about Gerry. The band, “Sunrise”, was good, though.

I was looking at the date today, thinking: This year I actually miss having a calendar! But sigh, I haven’t had one for years… And a couple of hours later – a twit and a mail – and a calendar! And no stupid, small bad quality chocolates, but diary entries that I’ve been dying to hear – and Becky internet fun! Oh joy! Fantastic idea and effort, Becky! You made my day, honey!
I crawled out of my sick bed to check my mail and I was rewarded. Thank you.
Thanks guys! You all are the super supes!
