it! I watched the story. I washed my car. Dad repaired my rear
view mirror. I took a shower. We got to the movie early, &
boy are we lucky we did! I've never seen so many people in my
life! And even more on the way out! The movie was fantastic!
They left out alot of junk that was in the book, and added a
bit of their own. But it was great!! I'm scared! I loved it soooo
much! What a marvelous movie!

Woke up at 8:30. Washed. Me, Ma, & Pa went to Aunt Dot's
and visited. Then to the mall, where I begged Dad to give me
the bucks to buy Robin Williams' tape "Reality: What a concept."
It was sold out (the album) & they only had 2 tapes left.
We stopped at the grocery & stocked up on sodie. While we
were gone, we had the fogger going to get rid of the fleas. I
brung Booger in, but had to put her back out cuz she still has
'em. Listened to Robin's tape. It's funny. Rode my bike to station
to tell Mike about it. Came back & cleaned my room. Unca
Don stopped by on his way home from work. Made spaghetti for
me & Dad. Watched a re-run of The Muppet Show, and C.H.iP.'s,
Love Boat. Locked up my car. Watched Fantasy Island, the News,
a re-run of Sat. Night Live. Won't be long till back-to-prison

freaky? Got out the movie projector. I set it up in my room and
watched home movies. It was fun. I'm now watching the 10 o'clock
news. It is beginning to storm outside. Dad has to go back to
work tomarrow. I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for me, I'm
fat & zitty. Life is a big disapointment. Last year was my
best year.
Monday August 6, 1979
hi: 93, low: 76
Me & Ma met Aunt Dot at the Venture. I got some clothes

Tuesday August 7, 1979
hi: 94, low: 70
I didn't particularly like today; although it was quite interesting
and eventful. I was awaken early by mom who told me that Erik
had been injured. She told me it was in a motorcycle accident.
I got up and watched Good Morning America. On there, they said
he had been filming a scene for CHiP's last night, his motorcycle
hit a parked car, It hurled him from the bike, then the stupid
thing came from behind and hit him. He is listed in very critical
condition in a hospital. He has broken ribs and something happened
to the artery that pumps the blood to the heart! I'm gonna croak!
I want to know more about this. Lord, please let him be alright.
I feel so horrible. Their is nothing I can do for him but pray;
and believe me, I'm doing plenty of that!!
In the afternoon, after they called and informed us that our
new telephone number is 691-3034, me and mom went up to Krauses
fruit and veggie stand to get some corn on the cob for supper.
On the way back, just as we were about to turn into Brookview,
someone came barreling out of their in front of us. Meanwhile,
the car that was passing us on the left side, came around and
smashed it!! It was pretty neat. We left the scene of the crime,
but Ma called Mike and he saw the whole thing at the gas station
and had already called the sherriff. Quick thinking on his part.
I rode my bike down to the Con. to see if they had a Chicago
paper thinking it might have something about Erik's accident
in it, because the lousy Peoria paper didn't. But they didn't
have one. After supper and nothing on the evening news about
it, I got in my car with my faithful companion, mom, and went
to Sheridan Village and got both Chicago papers. We stopped at
Thompson's. Got home only to see that neither paper has a word
about Erik in it! I'm very upset!! I have to know how he is.
I love him! He means alot to me. I hope I'll hear more about
it tomarrow. Now I'm gonna watch t.v., then go to bed, okay?
ERIK, I LOVE YOU!! PLEASE GET BETTER!!!!
A year ago today, Buster told me he was leaving.
Wednesday August 8, 1979
hi: 91, low: 72
When I woke up, I heard Ma on the phone talking to Aunt Dot
about Erik. She said there was an article in the morning paper.
I drove down to the Con & got it. I wrote a letter to Val
Valentine about him. Me & ma went to the Doc's so I could
get a blood test. At Ben Franklin, I got a 7 day get well card
for Erik. You send 1 a day, they're in the shape of an apple.
Came home. I watched the story. I drove to Mossville P.O. &
mailed Erik's 1st card. In tonight's newspaper, is a better article
& a pic of my poor baby in the hospital. I love him! We still
have a very bad flea problem. It's a rather embarrassing, and
itchy problem. Ate supper. Watched the tee and vee. Mike brought
his new girlfriend in to see us. She's the same age as me. I
was really not impressed with her. Poor Erik. I feel so bad about
him being hurt. I hope it don't take him too long to recover.
Poor Erik!!
Thursday August 9, 1979
hi: 80, low 60
Went to Bergner's. I looked up the correct addy & zip
of the UCLA medical center. I mailed Erik's 2nd card. We went
to the new K-Fart. I got a poster magazine with a big one of
Erik. We ate at Long John Silver's. At the mall, I got rabbit
treats for Harold, and the movie I took in Pleasant Grove. In
the mail, I finally got a letter from Stacey. I missed the story.
I projected the movie for me & Ma. I brought Mike his burger,
then drove back home & ate mine. I then drove to the Con.
& got drinks. Heard the ice cream truck. Went out & got
a drumstick. Watched t.v. I showed M&D the moie. Watched
more t.v. I made some popcorn. I don't know why, but I've become
awful zitty lately! I listened to the scanner for 1/2 a second,
but was chased out by Mom. Get well, Erik!

Watched television. Mailed Erik's card, and a letter to Val
Valaenine. I got a letter from SD in Colorado. I watched the
story. We went to the Thompson's & got food & stuff.
On a news update, they said Erik was taken out of the intensive
care unit, and moved to a regular room. That is good news. Brought
Mike spaghetti. Came home & ate mine. I wish SD would get
home! Picked up some cluttered items in my room. Watched the
news. I wrote Erik a note, and put it in a card to mail tomarrow.
I watched Diffrent Strokes, Hello Larry. These fleas are really
beginning to drive me crazy! I don't have nothing to do. I like
men. I made up a little clever saying I wrote on the envelope
for Erik. It goes: "When the C.H.iP.'s are down, remember...I
love you!" Kinda neat, huh? Now, I'm gonna watch the news.
Goodnight!
Saturday August 11, 1979

Next, a stop at the book store. I got 2 magazines. On to Bergner's.
We ate lunch there. I got Ma's b-day present, an ear-ring box

having, and this summer's going to pot! Have you noticed I've
really gone crazy for Erik lately? I'm gonna meet him, &

Thursday August 16, 1979
hi: 75, low: 56
Today was great! I got washed as usual. Mom heard on the news
this morning, that Erik was released from the hospital yesterday!
Yipee!!! It made me feel much better! We went to the mall &
grocery store. I got nothing. But, in the mail, I did! I finally
got my Erik fan club kit! It took over 9 weeks, but now, I see
it was well worth the wait! Man! What gorgeous pictures it includes!
I switched my bed & coffee table around, & hung up all
of my Erik pics, also the neat membership certificate. I tidied
up my room a bit, and ate some buggy cabbage. Stacey called!
She just got home. I asked her to come down & eat supper.
Ma got Grandma. She ate with us too. Stacey came down. She brought
me back a pretty necklace. We talked alot, ate and generally
goofed off. It's great having her back. This was in tonight's
paper about Erik. Private nurses, huh? Stacey left around 7:30.
I watched t.v. Poor Erik, he must really hurt! I'm sure those
nurses will help him through it! (Ugh!) Stacey called. We're
gonna do some cruisin' tomarrow. I can't wait! It'll be fun!
Johnny Carson commented on Erik being out of the hospital. I
hope he quits hurting real soon. I imagine it really must not
feel too nice!
Friday August 17, 1979
hi: 88 low: 61
Went up to Stacey's. We drove to school for her to register.
Which is all well and fine, but we don't have any classes together!
Nary a one! Man that made us mad! We went back to her house.
Then I drove us to Long John Silver's for lunch, came back here
to get you. I got a bunch of mail, including the stupid disco
record that lady conned me in to, & these articles about
Erik a pal sent me. Went back to SD's. Watch a movie with Dirk
Benedict in it. Came home. Ate. Answered pen-pal letters. Made
potatoe chips. Stacey called and we talked about her imaginary
harem and other things. I'm burning up. I watched a Dallas show
I'd already seen cause Stacey wanted me to.
Saturday August 18, 1979
hi: 88 lo: 68
Watched cartoons. Made a tape of me on the air. Stacey came
down, left, then came back, and stayed all night. We're writing
a story about the harem. C.H.iP.'s wasn't on.
Sunday August 19, 1979

Me & Stacey ate breakfast. She went home. I ate spaghetti
for lunch. I watched a Cub-Padre game. We won 3-1. I talked to
SD on phone. we planned a bit of our novel. I washed up. We went
to the Dimmin's. I brought tons of Andy Gibb shit and traded
it for about 2 Erik things. Oh well. I'd do anything for "Mr.
Macho"! He's a hunk.
Confusious say: "Life is a bed of roses, but watch out
for the pricks!"
Monday August 20, 1979
hi: 86 lo: 66
Me & Ma went to Venture & Kroger. I got another magazine,
of course. On the way home, we stopped at Long John Silver's
where I got "Fish & More" to go. I watched the
story. Stacey called & asked me to stay all night, so I said
ok. I ate rice for supper. I drove up to SD's house. We did a
little on the novel. We watched "The Cat in the Hat,"
and "WKRP," "Get Smart," "The Tonight
Show," and Erik dancing a million times. I can't get enough
of that guy! We sat around & talked.
Tuesday August 21, 1979
hi: 82 lo: 68
Today may have been a step into my future. I stayed at SD's
house for a couple hours this morn. I got home around 11:30.
Mom said she saw on tv an ad for this week's "Star."
It has a big thing about Erik's accident. I went down to the
Con. to purchase it, but the lady said it won't come until tomarrow,
and that she'd save one for me. I got a letter from my old lady
pal. She sent an article about Erik from "the Enquirer."
It stinks and so does that paper! I saw a preview for "Kids
Are People Too," and Daryl had his beard. I watched the
story. I washed. We went to Chilli. Here comes the good part.
I went to WCLL to tell 'em about our phone #. The secretary says
they need someone to type up the logs and stuff! She asked about
my typing experience. Then she asked if I had time at the moment
to take a typing test. I said I had to meet Ma & asked if
I could come back. She said tomarrow afternoon. Ain't that great?!
I HAVE to get that job! We picked up my drugs, went to Bob's
apartment for a visit, then on the way home, we stopped at the
Dairy Queen. Mr. Flagg was there, and I talked to him a bit.
I spilled a hot fudge on my good blouse. We came home. I practiced
typing. I ate 2 hot-dogs for supper. On the news, they had a
group of male strippers called "Fast Freddie & the Playboys."
They were in town at the 2nd Chance disco a couple of days ago.
Wish I was older & could've seen them! Watched Tom &
Jerry. I practiced my typing more. I have to pass that test tomarrow!
That job is the beginning of my career! Lord, help me out, please?
I talked to Stacey on the phone. I told her about the sheep dip
it said in that Erik article, & my happenings at WCLL. Now
I'm gonna watch the 10 o'clock news, so I can see Fast Freddie
again! Isn't that neat? Mike just came in my room to tell me
he read that article about Erik, and that he thinks it's bull
shit! See, even he knows better! The whole thing sounds like
ostrich cookies to me! How dare they say things like that about
him, when his only wish is to spread hope, understanding and
excellence!
Wednesday August 22, 1979
hi: 85 lo: 63
This morn, I went down to the Con. and bought 2 issues of
the Star & one of the Globe. The pictures of Erik are pretty
good. Of course the articles are kinda dumb! I watched game shows.
After the story, I went up to WCLL. The lady had me type a commercial.
I guess I did okay, and I guess I got the job, because she said
they'd call me later in the week, and she asked me all kinds
of questions about what hours I could work. I came home. I cleaned
my room. I talked to Stacey. I've been eating more than I should.
I'm 10 pounds over weight! I made some Erik stationery. He's
a hunk!!!!!! Watched Tom & Jerry, Dorothy. Talked
to Stacey. Put some stuff in my scrapbook. We still have fleas!
Can't get rid of 'em! This job at WCLL will be neat! Wonder when
they'll call me?
Thursday August 23, 1979
hi: 82 low: 64
Mom fell on the garage step and hurt her leg. We went to Sheridan
Village. I got some new school clothes & a mag with a beautiful
pull out centerfold of Erik. I watched the story. I cleaned my
closet. I sewed a patch on my jeans. I ate a fork full of tuna.
Aunt Dot came over to see how Ma is. Watched a little t.v.

hi: 83 lo: 56
We slept 4 hours, at the most!We watched cartoons. We washed.
We went to her dentist's in Henry. We were an hour early, so
we walked around town. He worked on her teeth. We ate at a Dairy
Queen. She brung me home. Ma & Dad have moth balls all over
the floor hoping to get rid of fleas! I needed to talke a nap,
but couldn't sleep! I ate. I watched C.H.iP.'s it was the one
where he square dances & next week, they're gonna repeat
the DISCO one!!!! I LOVE that one!
The Brem's came over. We had pizza. Dan had to show me his
Firebird. He called it his "Ponch car." It was really
cool, but I like Erik's burnt one better. I can't wait till next
weeks CHiPs! I wish Prunella would hurry up & get here before
school does! Gonna try to stay up & watch Sat. Nite.
Sunday August 26, 1979
hi: 80 lo: 57
Woke up at 11:30. Ate toast. Listened to the top 40. Ate roast
for lunch. Took a shower. Went with Ma & Dad to the Cat.
credit union, Kroger, & Unca Don's. He wasn't home. Came
back. Watched Cub game. Otto called. We talked for a while. He's
#99. He's expecting me to come down this fall & see him in
a football game. Talked to Stacey. I can't believe I have only
1 free day left. I don't wanna go back to prison! I wish Prunella
would hurry up & get here! I watched the Hardy Boys, Mork,
the Roper's. Talked to Stacey.
Monday August 27, 1979
hi: 81 lo: 66
I got to watch all of my game shows. I watched the story.
Stacey called. After a slight mix up, Me & Ma went up there
and got her. We went to Venture & got our pictures. Then
to the mall. We walked around. We just beat Dad home. My monthly
visitor came around 4:30. I'm glad she decided to show up now
instead of tomarrow! I called Stacey, then hopped in my car and
cruised up there. We talked about how much we don't want to go
to prison tomarrow. She's gonna get me in the morning & drive
to school. I came home. I watched WKRP. I talked with SD on the
phone. Now, I'm gonna go to bed if Prunella will let me sleep!
Tuesday August 28, 1979
hi: 83 lo: 62
Reluctantly, I got out of my bed. I took a shower, and got
ready. Stacey got here at 7:45. We left. Got to school. I hung
up some pin-ups. We met the gang in the library. I went to Journalism.
There are only 6 people in that class, and they all stink! We're
gonna be putting together a bi-weekly newspaper. Our assignment
was to think of 3 stories for it. Next was Oral Interp. It looks
like it might be fun. We have to bring a short story or poem
tomarrow and preform it! Oh no! 3rd hour was P.E. Stacey had
a class changed and is now in my 3rd hour P.E! That's great!
4th hour was booney-bah. It bites a biggie, and I wish I wouldn't
have taken that 2 dimensional design! U.S. History is 5th hour.
The class might be interesting. Our assignment is to read the
funnies and pick out the socially relevant points! 6th hour,
I went to Practical Speech. I don't think I'll like it either.
We have to do a lousy demonstration speech some time. The kid
who's a jock on WCLL is in that class. Last hour is Study Hall.
Stacey drove me home. It was only a 1/2 day. I got the mail,
watched the story, talked to Stacey, put away clothes. Got ready
& had M&D take me to Bergan for my radio class. It was
really interesting. The teacher was a jock. It's really great.
It's neat to go to a class & have a person teach you about
what you are real interested in!
Wednesday August 29, 1979
hi: 83 low: 65
Woke up (wish I hadn't!) I fed my rabbit before heading down
to the bus stop. In Journalism, I have to have a story by Friday
about the could be teacher's strike. I don't want to! The lady
cop is crazy about Erik too. She's gonna keep an eye on Playgirl
for us in case he's in there! In 7th hour Study Hall, me &
Kim got sent to the assitant principal's office for sneaking
out and going to the turlet without permission! He just gave
us a warning. It was a riot! I got home. Ate supper. While I
was at prison, Ma & Pa got my Broadcasting text book. I went
down to the Con. to get sodie, and had to get this week's "People"
cause it has an article on Erik's accident, & pics of him
at the hospital. One is with his new girl friend. She's a scuz,
and she's only 19! Do you believe it? She's only
3 years older than me! I may have a chance! (doubtful - odds
are about 1 to 8 million) Talked to Stacey. Watched Dorothy,
Real People and a movie about a beauty contest. It was pretty
good.
Guess I'm gonna go to bed and dream about another fantastic
day at my fave place to be! I'm sick of school! I wanna stay
home. I wish I were pretty, don't you? Then I could go out there
and give Erik the ol' Razzle Dazzle!
Thursday August 30, 1979
high: 86 low: 60
Now, I have to do a story on the band cuz I can't do the strike.
In Oral Interp, I'm expected to make a fool out of myself by
overacting! Got our lockers in PE my combo is: 34-16-22 I don't
understand U.S. History. I wore my Erik shirt. Every female loves
him. My bus driver got to see Fast Freddie & the Playboys
when they were in town! Lucky floozy! I didn't get no mail. I'm
in a lousy mood! Ate Fried eggs for supper. Watched Tom &
Jerry. Talked to Rosanne about my band story. Gonna get a story
from her tomarrow. Stacey's gonna drive me to school again tomarrow.
I read my history. I don't understand it. I watched more t.v.
Gonna go now. Erik's a sex god!
Friday August 31, 1979
high: 88 low: 68
Stacey & her ma came & got me. At school, I got my
band story from Mr. Sparks, the director. He is gorgeous! Whew!
A looker! Problem is, he's trying to talk me into joining again.
We got out of school an hour early because of the heat. The high
school has air conditioning, but the grade school's don't. And
since they let them out & we're the same district, they had
to let us out! We had hamburgers for supper. I talked to Stacey
on the phone. I watched the news. I listened to Mom & Dad
argue about the check book. Watched tee and vee. Wrote some letters.
Am now watching a Cub-Dodger game.
Stay tuned for September 1979!
