Well, I woke up. Ma & I went
shopping. I spent most of my money. I got a Santa hat with my
name on it in glitter. I got micellaneous other items too. We
came home. SD called and asked if I wanted to stay all night.
So, I did! We played games & stuff.

I went home a bit after 11. I called Kim. She said she'd meet
me & SD at the mall. I ate lunch, then got ready. I went
up & got SD. Took her to Brown's Chicken. She applied but
didn't get hired. We met "Browt" at mall. We didn't
have much fun. Except, I saw Mr. Sparks there. He is soooooo
good lookin'!! Love lookin' at that guy! Took Stacey home. I
came home. Wrote a couple letters. I watched the news. They flew
the Shah to Texas today. Watched X-mas special, Mork & Mindy,
Archie Bunker, One Day at a Time, Alice, Jeffersons, then, my
new favorite man, the unmarried, Greg Harrison! He's a hunk!

I went to suckin' school. It's freezin' out, but all the snow's
been gone for awhile and it ain't snowed since Nov. 28. Nothing
especially different happened at prison. I came home. Oh, yeah,
I asked Malea, who works at Brown's how late she works, she said
only till 9! Yipee! This is gonna be great! I watched Lorenzo
Lamas on Dinah. Fed my rabbit. Ate pizza. Answred letters. Watched
a couple X-mas shows, MASH, & WKRP. I can't wait to make
big bucks! Time to get that VCR I've been dreamin' of.

high: 48, low: 19
This morning I talked Ma into letting me stay home. I made
my bed and straightened things up. Around 9:30, we left. Went
out to Uncle Don's, but he wasn't there. Next we went to the
mall. I didn't buy anything there. We ate at Long John Silver's.
Got some groceries. Went to Venture. I gave Mom 9 bucks and she
charged a pair of hiking boots for me! I love them! Now I owe
her the rest of it. We came home. I set up the X-mas tree. We
went to the doc's where I got a blood test. He said I looked
healthier than hell! We came home. Ate supper. We decorated the
tree. It sure looks beautiful! Ma & Dad went to Mike's. I
stayed here & watched Lorenzo Lamas on California Fever,
3's Company.
Wednesday Dec.
5, 1979
high: 58, low: 35
Went to school. Nothing unusual happened. It was a normal
day. Came home. I answered letters, ate supper. I watched the
news, looked at the paper. Necrophilia is having sexual intercourse
with a dead person. Isn't that interesting? You learn something
new every day! I watched Carol Burnett, Diff'rent Strokes, Hello
Larry, Sat. Nite Live.
Thursday Dec. 6,
1979
high: 44, low 27
I went to suckin' school. I didn't dress for P.E. After 5th
hour, I absent mindedly went to my 7th hour Study Hall. I didn't
relize I was supposed to be in 6th hour until the bell rang!
I came home. I got a couple letters from new people. I had a
snack. I read some of the paper. I watched the news. Bob &
family and Mike and what's her hair came over to celebrate Dad's
51st birthday. They stayed till about 8:30. We ate hamburgers
& b-day cake. Mandy was such a good girl. After they left,
I watched "SOAP." I think I'm gonna go to bed now,
I'm awful sleepy! I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with
a boyfriend.
Friday Dec. 7,
1979
high: 43, low: ??
With no alternative, I went to school. In Journalism we had
a sub. 2nd hour, Oral Interp., we had a sub. 3rd hour, P.E.,
me and Darcy practiced our dramatic duet. I brought Mr. Jackass,
better known as FAT's play book
to the gym balcony. Well, I forgot it after P.E. and didn't remember
until 6th hour! I went back to look for it, but it was gone.
Now I'm in trouble! HELP!! In U.S. History we're watching a video
tape of "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman." I'm
just crazy about that history teacher, Mr. Childs, of mine! He's
just great! I mean, not that he's handsome or anything, although
he ain't ugly. I just think he's such a sweetheart! In Pract.
Speech, the teacher, Ms. Crothers, didn't have anything for us
to do, so we drew Christmas pictures on the chalk board! 7th
hour, I had fun in Study Hall watching Mr. Sparks and "Legs"
Childs walk by!! It was real windy & cold out today. After
I got home, I ran to the store for Ma to get a Chilli paper and
frozen pizza. We ate it (cooked it first) I fed my rabbit. Elgie
called. I talked him for awhile. Says he might come up this Christmas.
He said the same thing last year! I watched "Frosty the
Snowman," then my all time very favorite Christmas show,
"Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey." I love that
one! Today, the Iranians shot the Shah's nephew. Things are getting
worse. The hostages have been there for 34 days now. I love how
"Legs" prounounces Khomeini, (Ho-mainy) like "Coal-a-meeny."
I watched a movie starring Kristi McNichol called "My Old
Man." Matter of fact, I only watched half of it. It was
a dumb horse story, and you know how much I love horse stories!
Caterpillar's union is still on strike. It seems to be affecting
everyone in and around Peoria. I put up a couple new pin-ups
on my closet door. I wonder why it hasn't snowed? I don't want
it to, but I was just curious. I'm watching the 10 o'clock news
on 31. They were talking about Coal-a-meeny.
Saturday Dec. 8,
1979
high: 30, low: 20
I woke up around 10. I got the mail. I got a letter from Lisa,
so I wrote back right away. I watched Leif Garrett on American
Bandstand. He did 2 songs from his new album. Daryl & Toni's
song is #10 this week. Me & Ma went to Sheridan Village.
At the Music Shop, I bought Leif's new album "Same Goes
For You." Then, we went to Bergners. Guess who was doing
a remote for KZ-93 there? Yup, Charlie. I talked with him for
awhile. He says Mark isn't in the radio business anymore. He's
in hardware, of all things! In Indianapolis. He said he walked
out of the station down there. Wasn't in very good terms when
he left. Couldn't hack it any more. Next, we went to the mall
& picked up some film I had left there. We stopped at McDonald's
on the way home. I listend to Leif. Stacey called. I typed pen-pal
letters. Forgot to tell you, Chuck threw a t-shirt at me. It
ain't a KZ-93 one though. It's blue and says Pioneer Month. I'm
wearing it now. I watched the news, The Gong Show, CHiP's. I
made up an Income and Expense record to help me save bucks to
get that VCR. I watched Fantasy Island, then I watched the 10
o'clock news. We've only had 8/10" of snow so far this season.
Now, I'm gonna watch Saturday Night Live. I've given up on being
a d.j. I don't have any idea what I want to do, but no doubt
it won't be radio or media. Maybe I'll just get married and have
a gob of rotten kids. Who knows? As a matter of fact, who even
cares?
Sunday Dec. 9,
1979
high: 49, low: 25
I got up about quarter till 9. Me & Ma went to Kroger's
to get food. Came back here. Then we went and got Aunt Dot. We
all went to the house where her & Ma are gonna rent a craft
shop. We met the lady who owns it there. After that, we went
back to Aunt Dot's where Ma did her hair for her. I put the little
X-mas tree up in my room. Ate a couple wienies. Went to Con.
Regular is 105.9. Got 10 bucks worth. Gonna drive to school &
work tomarrow. Did my History. My boss called. She gave me my
work schedule for this week. It sounds great: Mon 4-9, Tue 4-9,
Wed. 4-9, Thur. 4-5, Friday off, Sat 10-4, Sun 10-4. I drove
down to the Con & got some powdered sugar & fixin's for
X-mas cookies. I came back & whipped up the cookies. They
turned out DEELISHUS!! I watched "The year without
a ---- no I didn't, I turned on Mary & Joseph 40 minutes
into it. At 9, I switched channels to watch my honey bun, Gregory
Harrison on Trapper John MD. He's great.
Tomarrow, I have to confront Fat about his play book that I lost.
Lord help me. He's gonna skin me alive.
Monday Dec. 10,
1979
high: 59, low: 31
Shelly had Fat's book. She gave it to me this morning. PTL!
During Journalism, I interviewed Mr. Richmond Sparks about his
X-mas concert. What a gentleman! He opened doors for me &
pulled me out a chair. I'm in love. What a babe -- those eyes!
SIGH!! I bought a Leif book off a girl in lunch & read it
during Art. In "Legs"' history class, we watched the
end of the Miss Jane Pitman thing. After school, I got in my
car and went to work. First, they got me a uniform. I put it
on. Then she showed me around. And I did a little of everything.
I don't know how I'll like this job, but who's gonna complain
if it brings in bucks to get my VCR. I'll probably go into more
detail about my work another day. Right now, I'm bushed!

Wednesday Dec.
12, 1979
high: 24, low: 15
Hi. I'm sorry I didn't write yesterday. Things have been kinda
hairy for me this week. Yester at school was just normal. But
work stunk. I simply don't fit in with everyone else there. Every
single one of them are extraverted drunken pot heads, including
the manager! Honey, I ain't jivin' you. This is all the truth!
So, when I got home last night, I told Mom and Dad about the
whole deal. They said they'd rather I didn't work in an environment
like that and encouraged me to resign. Oh yeah, we had freezing
rain while I was there last night and it stuck all over my car.
Fun to scrape off and drive in.
Today, I went to school. In Journalism, I still haven't gotten
the story on the retreats (retards). I'm supposed to get it tomarrow.
In Oral Interp me & Darcy rehearsed our duet. In bowling,
I bowled a 105. Me, Kim & Caren are a team. We're a pretty
good team too! During lunch, I look at the hunky drug counselor,
Terry Neuswanger. He comes to our school every Wednesday. I Art,
I'm working on those lighter fluid mgazine transfers. In my fave
- US History, "Legs" said "Colameeny" 5 times.
He surely cracks me up! Great teacher. In Practical Speech, I
took a test on listening, think I got an "A." I love
school, and I love my friends. I came home. I gave that bitch
at Brown's a call & told her I quit. I said that my folks
made me because it interfers with my school work. That's partially
true because I need to study tonight for a big test in Leg's
class tomarrow, and memorize my duet for Fat.
I fed my rabbit. Dad brought Rod in to look at his lamps. He's
good looking! We ate good ol' Pizza balls Ma made. Mama mia that's
a spicy pizza ball!
I watched the news. They have been giving the address of the
hostages for people to send cards. Almost everyone in the country
is. Cat is finally doing some bargaining with the union. They
should be going back soon.
Me & Dad stuffed a bunch of straw into Harold's cage. He
is so big!! I watched "Real People." I studied for
my tomarrow's history. I looked over the Journal Star. Do you
believe I've finished up this whole stinkin' diary finally. For
tomarrow night and probably about another 6 month's tune into
"What a Boring Life I Lead" my red plaid anything book
#0-517-265206.
I watched "The Best of Saturday Night Live." I had
seen it all before.
Thursday Dec. 13,
1979
high: 32, low: 18
Not as good of a day as I would have liked it to be for starting
off a new diary. Oh well. It's kinda hard to explain, but I will
try. In Journalism, I finally got an interview with the retreat
lady for the paper. In Oral Interp I didn't have to do my duet,
and won't until next week. Now, In bowling is where everything
started. I'd call it a lack of proper communication. When I got
on the bowling bus, I was gonna sit with Stacey, but I don't
like to sit on the inside next to the window, so I told her to
go ahead & sit there. She said "What if I want to sit
on the outside?" I merely replied, "I'll sit with Frog
then!" so I did. On the way back on the bus, she said with
Darcy. I heard her telling her about it, so I turned around,
and jokingly said "Aay-quit talkin' bout me!" Darcy
then bit my head off with "If you'd change your attitude,
we would!" My attitude? I had no idea what in the name of
hell was wrong with it!! So, I didn't really give it a 2nd thought,
and went on with my schedule. In History, I took that test. I
think I did pretty well. After history, Darcy gave me this Mickey
Mouse letter about my & Kim's attitude. I responded with
a cool headed mature letter pointing out the misunderstanding.
In Pract. Speech, I got a B+ on the test I took yesterday. I
came home. I picked up my room. After supper, I called Stacey
& tried to straighten things out. I must have cuz we talked
quite awhile. Mike stopped by with a pretty new kitty he found.
I watched "Jack Frost." Stacey called back and we talked
awhile. The whole thing started when I was getting sick of some
of her bragging. But I've decided to just accept that as the
way she is. I can't change her. I watched "SOAP." In
the mail Uncle Chuck & Aunt LaVerne sent me 5 dollars. Aren't
they the greatest?! I watched 20/20.
Friday Dec. 14,
1979
high: 35, low: 16
I went to school. My ugly Journalism teacher bough us all
donuts. In PE, I bowled horribly! I only got up to 80! Don't
tell anyone, okay? I sold the IVCene at lunch. In history, we
saw a film on Adolph Hitler. We only got one Colameany out of
Mr. Legs! He's a honey bun! Love him! Came home from school.
Got a whole bunch of letters in the mail. Ate supper. Typed some
letters. Watched Tom & Jerry. At 7, Erik was on a Donny &
Marie X-mas Special. He sang with Marie. He's a dream. Made some
popcorn. Typed some more letters.
Saturday Dec. 15,
1979
high: 44, low: 22
We went to the mall. Dad and I rode the SR2. It's a type of
Chevy show rollercoaster thing. I got Ma's present. It's a pretty
tray. I got a couple mags. Went to Venture. I got both of Rex
Smith's albums. He's sexy! Went grocery shopping. Came home.
I listened to my new albums. Mike and Fuzz came by. They left.
We went up to Bob's for Mandy's 1st birthday tomarrow. Came home.
Watched Chips. Wrapped presents. Watched Fantasy Island. The
Shah left the US this morning and is in a island in Panama. I
heard from the Parkers Brothers people today. They said if I'll
return my Merlin to them, they'll repair it for me free. Isn't
that great?!
I watched Saturday Night Live.
Sunday Dec. 16,
1979
high: 33, low: 4
I woke up. Me and Mom made a whole gob of cookies. We had
chicken and potatoes for lunch. I took a shower. It was snowing
when I woke up, but tapered off by lunch time. We went to the
Christmas concert. It was great! Mr. Sparks is such a babe! He
wore a tux & tails. He looked soooo handsome! They gave him
a Santa hat like mine w/ "Rich" on it and a beautiful
gold pocket watch and fob with his initials on it. He's a man!
It was sooo cold out, my wet hair froze! Came home. I watched
news. Me, Ma & Pa played Clue. I watched Pink Panther, Mork,
Part f an American Christmas Carol. At 8:30, I turned on Channel
31 and watched Erik on Circus of the Stars.
Monday Dec. 17,
1979
high: 19, low: -2
When I got up, I was coughing, sneenizing, and stuffed up.
Ma kicked me out into the bitter cold. The bus was late. At 9,
I called Ma and asked her to come get me. While I was in the
office, Stephanie informed me that Stacy is now living in Peoria
somewhere near K-Mart!! He had called her & asked if she
knew my new phone #. I gave her my #. I sure hope I hear from
him! I could use a boyfriend. Wish me luck! Ma got me. I watched
television, took a nap, watched more tv. We ate pizza for supper.
Watched news. I called Caren and asked her to tell me about the
constitution notes. Do you believe we are just starting it today
and we have to take the US and Illinois Constitution on THIS
Friday! Ol' Legs has really out done himself this time! I watched
WKRP. Did some homework.
Tuesday Dec. 18,
1979
high: 37, low: 26
I didn't go to school today either. My throat hurts even more
now. I watched some t.v. Ma said she was gonna go mail my Merlin
off and go to K-Mart and get Dad a X-mas present. I said I still
had to get him one, so she let me come along. I picked him out
a box of King Edward cigars. We came home. I started to watch
the story. About half way through Mom went up to the mail box.
She came back with a card from you'll never guess who! Mark Evans!
It includes a couple firsts: it's a one of a kind card. That
means he picked it out especially for me and not just a whole
box! This is the only time he's ever writeen "Love"
before he signed his name. That has to mean something! I wasted
no time and wrote back quickly. Luckily, he wrote his new return
address on the envelope. I do still love that guy. I let him
know in my letter that I'll always love him no matter what his
occupation is. I gave him my new phone #. I hope he calls or
writes back. But knowing him, he most likely won't. Unless he's
changed since he's given up radio. We'll have to be patient and
see.
I also got another letter from Lisa. I tidied up my room a bit.
Watched more tv. We ate supper. SD called. She tried to help
me w/the Constitution. But it didn't help much cuz I don't understand.
I'll ask Legs for help tomarrow. I watched Casper's 1st X-mas.
Here's Buster's address: 2741 S. Walcott, Indianapolis, IN 46203.
I watched The Family Circus X-mas, 3's Company. Stacey called
again. I'm gonna go to bed now. I know what I want for Christmas
and for the rest of my life.
Mark Emery Evans!
Wednesday Dec.

high: 50, low: 21
I went to school today. In Oral Interp, Darcy and I did our
skit. It went better than I thought it would. I've really been
bowling sucky lately. Today, I only got a 93! In History, Legs
gave me a coupla work sheets and a handbook for the constitution
and told me he'd stop by and help me during my study hall tomarrow!
Is that sweet, or what? Oh yeah, I saw Mr. Sparks in the hall.
He winked at me. Sigh. In the mail, I heard from another of my
men. I got a card and letter from Otto. I fed my rabbit. I wrote
back to Lisa. I did some Constitution stuff. I ate supper. I
watched the Grinch, Real People. Oh yeah, got another A+ in US
History! A 96 on the test I took last Thursday. I studied a bit.
I watched Best of Sat Nite Live.
Thursday Dec. 20,
1979
high: 47, low: ??
Went to school. It was fun in Oral Interp. We played charades.
I only bowled a 118. I have to pick this up. I'm doing lousy.
It's been beautiful out lately. But I wish we'd get some snow
for Christmas! Unlikely though. In art, I drew a picture of the
Grinch. It took all hour to get it just perfect and colored in.
Then I went to Legs' class. In there, a strange impulse came
over me, and I made my drawing into a card, wrote "Have
a Merry Christmas Mr. Childs! Julie Fidler" in it, and gave
it to him! I felt the Christmas spirit for the first time this
year as a smile made it's way to his lips! He thanked me and
pinned the card up on his bulletin board. It made me feel good!
In Pract. Speech, I read a couple Christmas poems to the class.
I studied for the Constitution test in Study Hall. When I got
home, I studied more. I ate eggs for supper. We went to the Kroger's.
I ran into Venture. With the bucks from Aunt Dot, I bought the
Village People's new album called "Live and Sleazy."
When we came home, Stacey called. We studied together over the
phone. I then listened to some of my new albums (it's a double
album set).
Friday Dec. 21,
1979
high: 51, low: 38
Today was fun. Oh yeah - Cat went back to work yesterday,
strike's settled. I went to school wearing my Santa hat. I got
lots of various comments. Most of them saying "Cute, Julie."
Legs just gave me the biggest smile I'd ever seen. Joe wanted
to know if he could sit on my lap. I shoulda said yes, but I'm
stupid. Oh well, guess I'll tell ya about the day now. When I
got to school, I gave everyone their X-mas cards, and Stacey
her present. She gave me mine. We opened them. I got the book
"The Jerk," a cassette tape of the Bee Gees "Main
Course" and a 1980 date book. We went into Legs' room and
studied for the Constitution test a little. In Oral Interp, we
had a party. It was fun. All kinds of good munchies. I brought
Bugles. In bowling, I did stinky again. Got a 96. Next, in History,
I took the Constitution test. It was really pretty easy. I think
I did good on it too. Mr. Childs is such a honey! At lunch, I
couldn't eat lunch cause I'd had so much junk to eat already.
Kim and I sold the IVCene. In Pract. Speech, we had a sub, and
things went totally wild! We started out playing charades, but
then all of the "silly little boys" began throwing
erasers all over the room at each other. I came home. I ate supper.
SD called. I asked if she wanted to stay all night. She did.
I drove up and got her. I drove us to the chicken place. I handed
over my chicken outfit expecting a check in return. But the pot
headed drunken manager said it wasn't in yet, and that it would
be either tomarrow or next Friday! That's great! Hell then! I
brought us back here. We worked on a pinata. I wrapped a few
presents, we listened to records, compared diaries, watched Jan
& Dean on the Midnight Special and went to bed.
Saturday Dec. 22,
1979
Well, this is great! Prunella arrived right on schedule and
was here when I woke up. I washed my hair, then we got all ready
to go to Holley's X-mas party. Put all of SD's junk into my car.
Suddenly, I realized I felt intensly gross! I called Holley &
asked her if we took SD up there, if she could take her home.
She said yes. Then, I felt too rotten to drive, so, I asked M&D
to take her. They took my car. I really did want to go to the
party. I missed out on the fun again. All of the candy too. I
let Stacey take all of mine to the party! Now I feel good enough
to eat some. I came into my room and lay down and almost died!
I listened to the AT 40. C-n-T's "Do That .... " has
moved up to #6 this week!! I don't believe how warm it is outside!
Oh, we're getting plenty of precip, but it's all rain! I want
snow! Stacy Liston called me. We talked for quite awhile. I want
to go see Steve Martin in "The Jerk," but he can't
go. He's doing a bunch of relative visiting all this week. He'll
be back Saturday and says he'll call me. I might go see "The
Jerk" with Mike tomarrow. I ate a couple hot dogs. Stacey
called and told me how much fun they had at the party without
me. I watched the news. The President has asked the U.N. to take
economic sanctions against Iran. Colameeny is allowing Prodistendt
and Catholic clergymen into our embassy in Iran to hold Christmas
Services for the hostages. Ain't that nice of the senile ol'
coot? I watched a cartoon called "The Stingiest Man in Town"
it was Scrooge. I feel gross again. I think I'll go to bed now.
I'm wigged out.

After I woke up, I took a shower. We went to Grandma's. We
ate Sunday dinner there. We watched a Vincent Price movie on
her cable tv. We came home. Mike had been here to take me to
see "The Jerk." I guess he forgot we were going to
Grandmas. Stacey called. I watched Walt Disney, Mork & Mindy,
One Day at a Time, Alice, the Jeffersons, then my favorite "Trapper
John MD" Gregory Harrison is a hunk. Got to see his chest
tonight! Whew! This doesn't seem like Christmas time at all!
No snow, it's like Spring, and Mom's been crabbin' at me all
the time! I'm not even looking forward to Christmas. Gonna watch
Grizly Adams & go to bed.

Do you believe Ma woke me up at 7:30? We all went to K-Mart.
The whether stinks horribly! It's rainy and windier than all
get-out! I didn't really get much at the store. Just the usual
magazine & a blank tape. We came back. I answered letters,
watched the story, ate lunch. Aunt Fish & Sandy came by,
Uncle Don & brat came by. Bob and kids came by. Tis the season
for surprize visitors! After they all left, I made some deviled
eggs. I watched the news. Oh yeah, I got a date stamper today
at K-Fart. I watched some t.v. Mike came down to spend the night
with us. Just like the good ol' days! We all opened 1 of our
presents in the usual tradition. I got the game "Downfall."
Dad & Mike played it with me. It's fun! I'm gonna watch "A
Christmas Carol" now. G'night!
Tuesday Christmas

We got up about 7:15, and started opening presents. I shall

electronic game, a blouse, an Andy Gibb microphone, a collection
of Stephen King books, From Mike: Steve Martin's "Comedy
is not Pretty" album, from Bob: a Teen Beat magazine, from
Sandy, a yellow Mickey Mouse T-shirt that says "Taylor University"
on it. Mike & I listened to the Steve Martin album. Ma made
pancakes.Grandma called. She wanted me to come up and get my
present from her. I took a shower. Uncle Carol & I mean --
ha, ha -- oops! Uncle Jerry & Aunt Carol & Carma stopped
by & gave us some oriental tea. Dad was kinda sick, so me
& Ma went up to Aunt Dot's. They had food. I tried to hear
the story, but found it impossible. We didn't stay very long.
After we got back, I had a snack of cheese and crackers. I went
up to Mike's. Oh yea - Glorius news!!! Mike told us this morning
- he's NOT GETTING MARRIED! Ain't that great? Any way, I went
up to Mike's I played with his t.v. tennis game, his cats, and
watched him put up the lamp Dad made him. I came home. Stacey
called. I played "Downfall" with Ma and beat the socks
off her. They have candles in brown paper bags lining the streets
of Brookview. It really looks pretty! I watched the news. Next
was a Honey Mooner's special. It's getting colder out. More Christmassy.
But still now snow. I watched "Happy Days." Played
Downfall w/Dad. Had a sudden attack of nausea. Watched "Taxi."
Oh yeah, I made some of those chocolate & chow mein noodle
thingys. Well, I'd like to stay up, but my eyes wouldn't. I'll
just have to wait till tomarrow to write down today's high &
low temp. G'night!

I got a book, blank cassettes & general junk. We stopped
at McDonald's on the way home. I'm reading "Night Shift."
It's really nifty. I watched the Story. I went up to the mail
box. All I got was income tax forms. I recorded Leif's album.
I cleaned up my room. I put my collection of Jesus things on
my dresser top & hung the painting of him Ma did above it.
It looks real good. I watched "Petticoat Junction."
I read more of "night Shift." I watched the local news.
I recorded all of C-n-T's singles. I wrote out my entry for the
jacket contest. I'll mail it tomoarrow.
Thursday Dec. 27,
1979
I got out of bed about 11:30. I watched Password, then the
Story. i got washed up. Ma & I went to Ben Franklin in the
Heights. We stopped at Grandma's on the way home to get my present.
It's a pair of gloves. Came home. I answered letters. I watched
the Soapy Awards on Dinah. We ate spaghetti for supper. I read
over the paper. Watched the news, LaVerne & Shirley, Benson,
Barney Miller, SOAP, 20/20.
Still no snow yet. None forecast either. Oh well, I don't want
any now!
I read some of Night Shift. Watched a little of the Tonight Show.

Got up about 9:30. Made Christmas cookies. Stacey called.
I watched the story. Stacey called. I went up to Sandy's and
took her a belated Christmas present. I went to the Con. after
that and bought a couple mags. The electricity went off for about
20 minutes. I ate pizza balls. Called the chicken place. Went
up there & got my check. It's for $24.85. Came home. Watched
"Shirley," and a special about the '70s. Now I'm watching
the 10 o'clock news. It's real foggy out there. Still now snow
yet though. And none in the forecast. I'm gonna attempt to watch
Daryl & Toni on the Midnight Special. I do believe 1979 has
been one of the most boring years I've ever experienced!

I got up around 9 to listen to Billboard's top 50 songs of
1979. I recorded most of them. Mom & Dad went out to the
store while I stayed here doing that. I don't believe it's been
2 years since I called Buster (Mark?) to request a song, and
he began a conversation. That started the whole thing off! I
wonder what the past 2 years would've been like if that hadn't
happened? Oh well. I watched Daryl & Toni on American Bandstand.
They're still great!! I listened to the rest of the top songs.
Some of the ones that were at the top surely didn't deserve to
be! Ma & Dad left to go look at some dumb little cars. I
got Stacey & went to Sheridan Village. I cashed my paycheck.
Didn't buy nothing. Took her home. Came home. Mom & Dad have
informed me they're buying some stinkin' little car. Yuck! I
hate little cars! Stacey called. I watched CHIPs. It was a repeat
of the season premiere with Leif. I'm sleepy. I think I'm going
to bed early. I didn't get a whole lot of sleep this morning.

I didn't get up till about 11:30. Stacey called. I invited
her down to eat dinner with us. We had swiss steak and mashed
potatoes. We played a game of Down Fall. Then, we went up to
her house. We played a bunch of games, colored, and ate pizza
while I recorded songs off of WIRL's top 129 songs of the year.
She brought me home around 20 after 8. I recorded more songs.
I have to go relieve my bowels - hold on! Okay I'm back! I've
had too much sodie today. Resolutions for '80: Get good grades,
LOSE WEIGHT!, find a manfriend. I fed my rabbit and cut
myself on his cage. Feels good! Time for Gregory Harrison. Later!
I'm back. Trapper John was cute. Got to see Greg's body even
more this week! What a man! I wrote a letter to him asking for
an autograph. Mail it tomarrow.
New Year's Eve
1979
high: 41 low: 29
The phone rang about 10:30 and woke me up. I figured it was
Stacey, so I called her back. I washed my hair. I watched the
story. Ma drove us to Peo. Heights. At Ben Franklin, I bought
the Jesus painting I wanted. I also got some stamps and mailed
that letter to Gregory. I got a letter from Lisa. Uncle Don came
over. Stacey came down. I got my stuff together and we went up
to her house. After we got there, we left again and went down
to her local store and got chips and crackers. Went back to her
house. We colored, played games, ate and watched t.v. At midnight,
we ran outside with our little party hats on, blew our blowers,
made noise w/our noise makers, and yelled "Happy New Year!"
Then we had grape juice, and went to sleep!! |
