80s Adolescent Angst: the photoshoot

Why blog the 80s?

Due to not-so-popular yet compelling demand, I'm blogging my high school diary entries from the late eighties and early nineties.

You are more likely to enjoy this blog if:
- You were born between 1970 and 1976.
- You thought George Michael would fall in love with you if he only got to know you.
- Your Aquanet consumption easily exceeded one fushia aerosol can per month.
- You penned at least one angsty poem per week about your latest crush.
- You assiduously nursed all legitimate bouts of melancholia into sustained periods of truly impressive despair. When you consulted your journals weeks after writing about each episode, you moved yourself to tears.

Elections are tomorrow. I have lots of homework. Roger wrote me notes today in PNW and I got my Sassy magazine in the mail. I went to Anna's, and I like Matt. Tonight, Anna took pictures of me. She said I need to have pictures taken because I've lost weight. I wore my purple Generra sweatshirt and my purple eyeshadow, mascara, blush and lipstick. All of it matches. I also wore my black stretch jeans. I pegged them myself and if I wear them all day, they hurt my legs.

Anna styled my hair and it looked really nice. I wish she could do my hair every day before school! She sprays my hair while I'm bent over so I get lots of volume. She made my hair look really curly even though I need a new perm. I love it when it is so big because it makes my face look smaller. Anna hung up a sheet and took pictures of me holding a teddy bear. She's going to get them developed this weekend at Woolworth.

I still want to lose more weight. I think 10 pounds would be good, although I need to lose 20 if I want to be an actress.

Why I want to lose weight:
1. To feel better about myself
2. To feel comfortable around people
3. To look good
4. To be healthier
5. To be confident
6. So Matt will like me
7. To be a size 5

How I will lose weight:
1. Run the track every weekend
2. Do aerobics and jump on the trampoline every day for 1 1/2 hours
3. Eat 700 calories per day
