Diary Friday: “I’m pretty punk tonight with my jeans, purple coat and safety pins.”

Diary Friday: “I have made up my mind to remain a virgin.”
Yet another entry from my junior year in high school for Diary Friday: My junior year: an unrequited love with the passion of a thousand suns blossoms for a guy named David. Naturally, nothing ever happened with David. But he … Continue reading

Diary Friday: “He made a speech about the band and ended by yelling, ‘HERE’S FREEDOM JAM!'”
This is a repeat Diary Friday. And there’s an update (unbelievably) to the story. I’ll post it as a note at the end of the entry. Every so often I come across an entry that is too good not to … Continue reading
Diary Friday: “If it were only real!”
Ah, yet another excerpt from my frenzied roller-coaster journal from my junior year in high school. My unrequited love for David was slowly blossoming. It didn’t hit its height until February or March of the next year … but it’s … Continue reading
Diary Friday: “I don’t lie on my bed dreaming of a sudden dalliance”
I’m all emotional today because I hung out with Keith M. for a marathon 10 hours … he was in town this week, and we met up, and had this awesome time together, and … he’s my childhood friend. It’s … Continue reading
Let’s do the time warp again
It’s just a jump to the left … It is so interesting to have a great conversation with the child of a high school friend … who is now the age when I first met my high school friend … … Continue reading
