Today started out really staunch. But got better as the day
went on. By the time I got home, I was in a fair mood. 4 letters
in the mail. Had tacos for supper.
I called Buster. He was so sweet! I asked how his week-end was,
how was the play ("a BORE") how is his throat,
("killing me"), did he rest yesterday, ("plenty").
He was singing on the phone! He was really sweet! I called him
"hun" tonight! Ha, ha!
Also talked to Pick, and Stacey, and about broke my ear!!

Today was alright.
School was a bore. Took a science test.
Didn't get no mail.
Weather: Sunny & cold.
Buster situation: Neutral.
Didn't call him. But he seemed in a real good mood. Before the
song, "I feel Like Making Love," he said, "I feel
like making love to you sweet heart, complete with waterbed and
mirrors!" How's that, diary?! Ha, ha!
Random word from Webster for today: Gherkin, ger'kin,
n. a small cucumber used for pickling.
(This diary is educational!)

Today was nice. No whoopie ding at school. Took Algebra test.
Got "A+" on Science test.
Barfed up my supper. But I feel okay now.
Called Buz. He was really nutty. I recorded our convo with Bob's
recorder that I borrowed yesterday. Buster's so sweet!
Watched Leif Garrett on "Rock 'n' Roll Sports Classic."
He's cute!
Can't wait till Friday to see my Pooh-Bear & Toni in Hawaii!
Sure is gonna be good!
Thursday, May 4,
1978
Good enough. School was blah.
Rained all day. Icky!
Now that I sit down and look back on it, today was a total bore!
Didn't call Buster today.
Do you realize that this is the first diary I written in every
single day?! And I plan to not miss a day. That way, I can spend
the rest of my boring life reading this boring diary!
Sandy called and asked me to go to the mall with her Saturday.
I said that would be farm out & freaky!
Friday, May 5,
1978
Today was GREAT!!!
C&T were fantastic. Daryl didn't wear his hat most of the
time! They showed him in shorts & a tank top, too! He also
sang!!! And of course Toni was beautiful as usual. Check out
clipping.
Nice talk with Buster. Look in junk drawer.
I Love Toni & Daryl. They're the greatest!! Sure hope I meet
them some day!!!

1978
Today was cool. Got up, watched cartoons, listened to Buster.
Terry Alan was at the Metro Centre, I asked Buz if he was gonna
be there. He said no.
Went shopping with Sandy. Mall, K-mart, Venture, McDonalds, then
Grandmas. Got tape for C&T tomarrow, and some skateboard
gloves. Saw some real neat satin clothes I want! I have to get
them!

C&T on Battle of Network Stars!
Today was really nice. Went to mall with ma. Got new outfit including
green satin pants!! I love 'em!
The Battle of the Network Stars was really GR-8! Pooh in bikini
trunks! I couldn't believe it! He's such a hunk! Wow, and what
a nice chest! He's really funny too!
Rained all day.
Well, gotta make like a banana and split!
Monday, May 8,
1978
 Love
it when he calls me "woman."
Happy Birthday Toni! Toni's 35th B-day!
Neat day! Wore satin pants to school. People loved them!
Called Buz cuz he dedicated a song to a certain girl, when he
told me he can't do that (see 2-13). he explained she's a friend
of the bosses'. he said, "Ya understand what I'm saying
to ya woman?" so he played LWKUT for me, and I had him say,
"In celebration of toni Tennille's 35th birthday. Happy
Birthday Toni, from the Stereo Z!" Wasn't it sweet of him
to do that?! happy Birthday Toni!!!
Tuesday, May 9,
1978
Today was alright. School was a bore. It didn't rain, but
it was very cold and windy!
Buster was acting
a little "strange" on the air, so I didn't call him.
After an add that said "Ducky's supplies everything for
the prom but your date," he said "That's okay, I'd
rather have a raisin!" He's we-e-eird!!
I've
been reading back on some of the stuff that I've written in here,
and it's really funny! Do you realize I've already had a broken
heart twice this year? I heal quickly!!!
Did you
know that tennis players have fuzzy balls? Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Today was beautiful. The weather was just lovely!
Earned
some extra money by washing the car. Gonna go with some friends
to see "Saturday Nite Fever" tomarrow.
Man,
was Buster strange tonight! I called, and he sounded like a crazy
nut! He was breathing heavily, and acting like a nut! He called
me "baby" tonight! He's never done that before. He
said something about freaking his brains out and boiling them
for supper! I said he was gross! Did Andy Gibb immitation, sounded
more like a chimp.
Thursday, May 11,
1978
Today was rainy, but nice otherwise.
Went with
3 friends to see "R" rated movie, "Saturday Night
Fever" at Chilli. It was really good! Dirty too!
Nice movie!!!
Got home around 20 till 10. Missed
most of Buz, but called him as soon as I got back. He asked why
I was calling so late. Told him why. He's seen it, and asked
if I liked it. I said yeah. We both agreed that there was alot
of dancing and "carrying on"!! Ha, ha!
Friday, May 12,
1978
Well, they say the 3rd time's a charm! Looks like my heart's
getting a little more wear and tear. First, Let me tell you about
my day. It strated out great! Mom let me stay home. Me, her,
and Aunt Dot went shopping. I got elbow pads, and an Andy Gibb
t-shirt. The weather was great, but started to rain at about
4:30. On KZ-93, they're having a dream night contest where the
winner will go to a fancy restaurant with Buster and TomWood,
then to a rock concert where they will sit together in the front
row, and go backstage afterwards!! Guess who's gonna be outta
town that day? You got it, Sherlock! I'm going to a Cub game.
Shit! I called Buz, and told him that. He was truly disapointed!
He said he thought he would see me there, and that I might even
win the contest. Oh, how I wish! It was so sad on the phone!
He was so sincere, and when I said I wasn't gonna be there, he
went silent which is very unusual for Buster!! Then I changed
the subject and asked when he can take me & gang through
KZ. "Couple weeks" he said.
Saturday, May 13,
1978
Today was el dullo! Rained all day. Went nowhere, nor did
I call Buster. Oh, how I love that man! I long to be held in
his arms, and kiss his warm lips! I want to rest my head on his
chest, and hold his hand in mine. I would give anything to win
that dream night contest and be able to go!
Sunday, May 14,
1978
BORING!
Went to Heritage House with folks,
Mike and Grandma.
Came back home. Bob, Shar, &
Chad came over.
Watched a very exciting Cub-Dodger
game. It went 15 innings. We finally won 10-7!!
Developed
red blotches on my face that itch.
Monday, May 15,
1978
Didn't go to school . Cause I felt yuck.
Buster's
on from 3-8 all this week cuz Charlie's on vacation. Called him.
He said a friend of mine called and told him there are rumors
floating around the school about us! God, I could have shit!
If I find out who said that to him, I'll kill them!! I'm pissed!
I don't want to loose Buster for my friend! Guess I just better
keep my mouth shut at school from now on!
Tuesday, May 16,
1978
Today was alright. Brought my headphones to school so I could
hear Buster. Didn't call him. Watched t.v., did paint-by-numbers
of Charlie Brown.
We get to use IBM Selectric
typewriters now! I love it!!! They're sooo neat. I can't wait
till tomarrow to type some more on it!!
Weather
has been cloudy but no rain yet.
Andy Gibb is
doing a concert in Chicago June 18th, and it's sold out already!!
Shit! I wanted to go
Wednesday, May
17, 1978
Today was 1/2 way decent! School was ok. Especially typing.
Ma took me to A&W for lunch.
Called
Buz. What a great convo! He made me promise not to listen to
him in Algebra. When he said "hi" without the "Julie,"
I said, "this is Julie." He says, "Yeah, I know
your voice. I'm not that stupid." I said "Well,
ya never know!" And he said Andy sounded like a "chimpanzee
in heat!" Buster is just hilarious!
Went
up to Stacey's. We watched Andy on "Olivia Newton John."
He is beautiful!!! HUNK
So is the weather now.
SUNNY & WARM!!
I feel GREAT!!
Thursday, May 18,
1978
Good day! Exciting! Someone put a sulfer bomb in a locker.
The fire dept. came & put it out. Neato! Smoke all over!
Buz played my song! It was his opening song. Today
we talked seriously about math & the beautiful temp. He had
to stay late at work to record a commercial. He practiced it
on me a couple times.
The temp was great!
Got a Nat. Enquirer with C&T in it. Good
picture!!
My life is going pretty good now. Hope
it stays that way!!

Chad's 3rd B-day!
Today was a real bummer.
Bob called & said I couldn't come up. Don & kids came
over. Played wiffle-ball & killed me. Called Buz. He was
on 1/2 hour early. I asked him about the dancathon June 5th.
He's gonna let me know what time he'll be there later. He said,
"I'll see you there, & talk to you meanwhile!"
Mike took me skating from 9-11 p.m. It was okay,
I guess.
Sunday, May 21,
1978
Today was also gross! I have aches & pains all over from
wiffle ball & skating.
Watched Cub-Card game.
We won 3-2. That makes the 10 game in a row Cards have lost!
Ha, ha!
Mom has been bitching at me all day.
Went to Brem's. They have a really nice typewriter
they are willing to let us have for only 70 bucks! Sure hope
we get it! I would really love it!
Monday, May 22,
1978
There's only one way to describe today, and that's "dull."
Oh, except when me & Kim threw airplanes over the library
wall & skipped 4th hour.
Found out about disco
dance lessons at Y. Unlikely I'll get to take them.
Worked
on room. Went to store, but they were all out of squirtguns!
Get 1 tomarrow.
Didn't bother Buster.
Got
one letter in mail.
I can't wait to see Buz June
5th. Please Lord, let it turn out alright! I want soooo
bad to see him again!
Tuesday, May 23,
1978
Today was okay. At school: got squirted a bunch, put Sherry
in the sink, took Algebra test.
Went to Doc's
for blood test. Stopped at Dairy Queen on the way back home.
Turned radio on at 5:30 & Buz was on. Called
him. Charlie has larangitus so he took his place.
Went
to K-mart for squirt gun. Ran into Lisa, who I haven't spoke
to since Jan. 19. Had a nice friendly chat & went on with
my business. Besides the squirt gun, I got a good magazine with
Andy in it.
Buz was on from 3 to 8. On the phone,
he said "infuction" instead of infection. Ha,
ha!!!
Wednesday, May
24, 1978
Not good, not bad. The first thing that happened at school,
security cop took away my "CHiPS" squirt gun. In S.H.
the teacher told me I had to stay after school. But I didn't.
Hot out; in 80's! Whew!
Sweetie played
my song & dedicated it to "Chilli's IVC."
Ma
mailed him a letter today to put some sort of reminder on the
air. I told him to "look" for it. He said he'll be
sure it gets on the radio.
One year ago tonight
I saw C&T in concert! I wish I could go back again!
Thursday, May 25,
1978
Today leaned toward the good side.
Got my period
at school (morning). The pain is unbearable! I hate it!!
They drew the name for the dream night contest. It
was a lady, so I had to call Buster! I was so happy! He said,
"She's bringing her husband along!" Ain't that great?
Now I don't have to worry! I told him to tell Foreiner I said
"hi." Ha, ha. He said he would. He's also gonna get
ma's announcement on for me! He says Tom Wood is married &
got a kid. So, who cares?
Got up to 88.
Friday, May 26,
1978
Today was good. Got 2 squirtguns at school. One was taken
away. Ma got me one today. She also picked up the KZ-93 shirt
I had made and got me a new C&T one!!
Went
to Cow & Fishes for somewhat of a family reunion. Had food.
Went swimming, played with Chad. Watched Cub-Card game. We won
6 zip.
I didn't listen to Buster at all until
game was over at 15 till 10. He, for some reason was on until
15 after.
The temp got up to 90!! It was neat!!
Saturday, May 27,
1978
Pretty Good. Went shopping. Got bikini & couple mags.
While at mall, heard Buz play "my song" as his opening
song! He's so sweet. Called him. Told him to have a nice time
tomarrow at the concert. He told me to have fun too. I LOVE
him.
I got some tan, cuz I laid out in my new
bikini.
Can't wait till tomarrow to see that Cub
game! We bought some binoculars to take with. It's gonna be great!
High was 91.
Ya know, Buster must
really like me! He plays my song as often as he can, he calls
me pet names, he always sounds anxious to see me!
Sunday, May 28,
1978
Today was quite an experience! Here's a clipping. I could
have touched Bill Buckner, Dave Rader, Larry Cox, Joe Wallis
& Paul Reuschel. We had perfect seats on the 3rd base line
only 14 rows up from the field! They only played 5 innings, but
what they did was great!! The players are even better lookin'
in person! Greg Gross socked a ball right into their pitchers
head. You should have seen him fall! It was sooo scary!! I think
I got some good pictures. I tried real hard to get autographs,
but they were in too big of a hurry. But I was soooo close
to them!
Monday, May 29,
1978
1/2 day of school
Today was grand! Got out
of prison at 9:30. Went to a mall in LaSalle with Ma & Aunt
Dot. Took final exam in English. Got lots of good stuff at the
mall.
Called Buz. He was great tonight! Really
funny & sweet! He sang to me on the phone. We talked about
all kinds of stuff, like Indiana, our weekends, the nice weather,
and the dance one week from tonight! He'll be there at 10-2 p.m.
& a.m. Ya know, 10 that night. He really answered the phone
funny tonight! He was having a convo with himself! Stra-a-a-nge!
Tuesday, May 30,
1978
no school
And today was excellent! Laid around
the house for awhile. Went to the grocery store with ma. The
temp was just right-in the high 70's. cleaned up room (finally!)
Wasn't gonna call Buz, but at about 20 till 9, he
played my song, so naturally I called. He's so sweet! He said
he figured it out that way. When he was arranging his program,
he thought of me! He said, "Julie, there are some sound
engineers in here," then he wispered, "so I can't talk
right now." He said he cleaned his apartment yesterday,
when I said I was cleaning my room.
Wednesday, May
31, 1978
Well, today was pretty nice. Took typing exam. Walked downtown
with friends. Ate at Pizza Hut.
Only listened
to Buster from 6-7 tonight. Didn't call him.
Watched
"the Incredible Hulk", then an okay movie about a werewolf
called "Death moon" At 10 PM, watched Burt Reynolds
on Dick Cavett.
Tomarrow is the last day of my
freshman year! Boy, did that go by fast!! Hope next year does
too!
