80s Adolescent Angst: a day to commemorate like 4 ever *********** 12.13.88

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.

I commemorate this day as the day I visited that wonderful school, THS, and knew for sure that I must go there or DIE.

I Y THS. AND I Y Matt even MORE. Y HE IS RAD.

I walked through that school and all of a sudden, I was accepted.
NO MORE FF POPPY!!
These people liked me. They wanted to talk to me. I made so many friends in just 20 minutes! I want to go there so BAD.

I saw Matt, too. He came up and gave me a big hug and showed me around. Y He's so gorgeous! And he's the sweetest guy I've ever met! I love him even more for getting me over Ben. I am over Ben and it's about time!

Amanda and Audrey and Yolanda told me how excited Matt wuz when he found out I wuz coming. They think he likes me, but I don't. Then Audrey told me how Mara said all the gorgeous guys would like me because I wuz so pretty. BULL. I only WISH. Mara is so popular - She's such a sweetie!

I just hope Matt still likes me, though don't get me wrong. It would be nice to break some hearts for a change!

Phoebe said no one would like me, cuz I wuz so obnoxious. She wuz kidding, but I agree. I'm OBNOXIOUS and it has to stop. Also, I'm pale. And I'm fat. And I need a face lift.

It occurs to me that I don't know what a face lift is, exactly. I think it is a big makeover where they peel your skin off, and stuff. So, I have a plan. I'll put it in here later!

Wahooooooooooo. I have 2 things to say in closing.

1. I Y MATT!
2. THS, Here I come!

Gotta jog (as U-Know-Who would say, not that I care what HE says anymore!)
