1984

Sunday Jan. 1, 1984
1984. That’s the first time I’ve written that (up there). Here it is. A whole year later than when I started. WOW. I saw another movie today. “Christine.” It was good.
~CHRISTINE – THE STRAWBERRY GIRL
CHRISTINE – BANANA SPLIT LADY…
Anyway, there was a surprise for Chris friday. I took him up to Funspot and then decided that “I was sick and had to go home…” and then SURPRISE! Chris was surprised. Bryan is such a pompous ass! I really cannot stand him. I found that out at the party. Chrissy and Toni were saying really mean things
(2)
about Vickie, Bryan too. I couldn’t believe it. They say there Vickie’s best friends! Bullshit! They’re just shallow and bitchy, I guess. I have to speak to Dan Shirley. I’m mad at him too. I A year ago, Christmas (’82) I poked Dan thinking it was Chrissy and he won’t let me live it down. Annoys the shit out of me. You can see I’m none too thrilled about much today. Mike Linzer went downtown with us (me and Chris) and he was kinda cheap to me. Oh well…Chris slept over last night. My mom got a bottle of Apple Wine for us. It was really good. Chris’ mom got
(3)
us a small bottle of champagne. I had that wine with 2 beers I had and I felt great. I had a good time. Jill came over at 12. Right after work, and unfortunately right after the New Year supposedly began. She took a caB home at about three. Me and Chris went to bed at 6:30. Oh God. How very late. Or how very early. Oh Jill has a good job at the Asia. Something she really needed. I’m still looking.
My New Year’s resolution is to stop smoking and I think I will! We have new neighbor’s in Winnie’s side.
(4)
Jehovah’s Witnesses. Nice people we rented it to them the day after Winnie moved out!
Christmas was okay. Untill Dick came over. He’s such an asshole. He ruined my day. Nice albums for Christmas.
I love
Siouxie and the Banshees.
So good! Ana (who I see I haven’t mentioned; just a friend a school) went to New York and I hope to god she gets me a Siouxie shirt like she said she would. Yea-isms!
Well I am doing a type of fortune telling. I Ching—Bea Perkins’ book. It said something might happen to Jill and we probably won’t be friends. I doubt it. It’s just my interpretation. See ya Pete

Oct. 14, 1983

Oct. 14
Today is October 14! I can’t believe its been so long! Looking back, I still like my dog and things are okay. Carrie is fine and she’s opening up to me. It is so good because she tells me pretty much what she feels. I like that. Bryan found out when school started. He was kind of mad I didn’t tell him. He is talking to me and we’re kind of friends now. Tuesday me and Chrissy decided: I’d stop smoking for 3 days, she’d quit drinking. Well it was supposed to stop tonight, but we both gave up yesterday. It really didn’t prove anything except we couldn’t do it.
Dick got married a few weeks ago. The day was kind of fun. School is okay. Things aren’t going to well with Jill. They’re better now, but they were really terrible. She was kicked out of school and everything. THE B-52’s are coming to the field house in Durham October the 31st. I’m happy. I hope they do come. This week I was not to good. I snapped at Elise this morning and she cried. I felt really bad. I had snapped
(2)
at her and everyone else this week, i guess. I don’t know why, but things are better as I said.
There’s a football game tonight. I’m going.
Dan Shirley is having a party tomorrow Saturday. It should be fun.
I’ll probably write back and tell you how it was later.
Winnie’s leaving tomorrow, the 15th of Octobter.
She’s moving Downtown. I’ll be kind of glad I guess.
I saw the world According to Garp last night. It was super. Really good. I still feel the power of it today. It was really moving. I cried can you believe it?
Oh boy…
Well I guess thats just about it.
Okay see ya!
I’ll
Write
Again

TUES. AUG. 23, 1983

TUES. AUG. 23
Hi.
I was just reading the past entries I’ve written. Its really strange how I’ve changed towards people. I guess it’s a part of growing up. How sweet. How queer. Well you know what I mean. I’d forgotton how much my feelings used to change towards people. I probably sound terrible. I think I do.
A coupla things have happened. I got my Warhol Marlyn poster last tuesday. Bryan came home saturday. He has to be told about me and Carrie. I’ll have to do it. I’ll wait for him to call me. I talked to MA yesterday. I talked to her for about an hour. It was interesting. I saw Irma La Douce last night. 3 hours and I hated the ending pretty much. I really do like Duran Duran now. I said they were okay, before. And there I go again changing my mind. It bugs the shit out of me. I’ll try to stop it. I don’t think I mentioned were got a dog. It’s a cockapoo. White. Small. Cute. Pierre! I like it. But seeing what I’ve written, I’ll probably write soon and tell you I hate it. Pete.

Dear Diary—
Hi! I’ve been at camp for a week. Its been okay. But I’m glad I’m home. I got my Siouxsie shirt I’ve been waiting for. Its really neat. I also got Rio from the record club. Its okay. My old cousin Winnie’s home from being away all summer. She lives in the other side of our house. She’s such a bitch. She’s mad (probably) because we took the bushes down in front. New ones are going up soon. But she’s still mad. Oh well, what’s new? If you’re ever reading this Winnie – listen. We are your only people that care for you. Your other family only call you for gifts. The truth hurts, huh? Or maybe you know that. And you know, we really don’t care for you that much. I’ll probably be sorry I wrote this after you die. Oh well. You’re very hard to like Winnie. I guess I’m just writing this to vent out a few things. She’s not a nice person. Oh well I think that’s enough slander.
Things are good with me. I only had 5 cigs last week. Pretty good. I’ll write again.
See ya Pete
(cont)
I guess I’ll continue writing. I am going out with Carrie now. Thats good. Bryan will be pissed. He’s at summer camp and has broken up with her. She’d broken up with him I mean. Asked her out July 27. Okay.
Chris did sleep over. Well not really. We never really slept. We stayed up untill 5:30 in the morning. And slept from then until 12:00. Fun! We went swimming at Guppy’s that Sunday. Haven’t stayed home since.
I read Valley of the Dolls. Awesome. I want to read Once Is Not Enough. Its also by Jacueline Susann. I also read The Hunger. That too was good. It was strange and didn’t seem it could end at the last couple pages. My mom is at a shower for Mary. She is about to marry my brother Dick. Got a dog last Saturday, Sunday, rather, the 6th. I’ll keep you posted with Winnie. See ya Pete

Friday July 15, 1983
Hi! Here’s a pen that works. I’m seeing Carrie now. I know from reading this you’d probably say, why? Well she’s changed alot. I’d like to get to know her better.
Anyway I went to Jill’s camp last weekend from Friday night to Tuesday night. My parents picked me up then. I had a really good time.
Me and Jill got along fine except for a few 2 minute squabbles every now and then. That’s okay—her sister Audrey is such a pain.
I saw Porky’s II last Friday. It was kinda stupid. I really didn’t like it too much.
But anyway, my parents are going to camp this weekend (our camp) and I’m staying home. Yippee! Chris my come over to watch Cat People tonite. But regardless, I’m sleeping over his house tomorrow.
It should be fun.
Talk to you later.
See ya Pete

July 6, 1983

July 6 I’M GOING TO CHRISSY’S SOON.
Hi again!
It’s been a while! School is out now and I saw the Kinks and everything.
I got my B-52’s poster and last Go-Go’s newsletter yesterday. I have to rejoin now. I don’t think I’ll rejoin the B-52’s. I don’t know.
I found a tape of last May. Its unbelievable to listen to. All these songs remind me of Jill. She’s in N. Conway for the summer. I miss her. I’d like to see her and probably will or something.
Had a lot of nosebleeds lately (2) but! They were bad. I’ll have to have them corterized.
Anyway we went to our camp last weekend. Fun. Not really. I didn’t do anything.
I went to Elise’s and Carrie was there. (I knew). We had a waterfight (this was yesterday). Carrie cut her ankle, but she’ll be okay. I like her. I hope she breaks up w/ Bryan. OR VICE-VERSA. P

Post Vacation, 1983

May 2, 1983 VACATION WAS LAST WEEK

Hello-
I’ve taken up smoking. Its kinda neat! I get a little high off it which kinda makes me sick too, but I can inhale. I never knew how to really. Jill taught me.
I like her a lot. I think I’m going to her cottage in N. Conway for a week in the summer. It should be fun.
About the last entry. A horrible time it was. Everything’s settled I guess. I don’t really care I guess. It was a way of stepping out of the picture. Not to good, though.
Anyway, me and Elise are still friends I guess. I don’t think I’ll get many rides home from school anymore from her mother. I don’t know. I think Tom should get a ride from his mother (I will too) and if not, we’ll walk. It really should be no big deal.
School sucks! It really does. My math teacher is such a bitch. Drives me up the wall. I can’t stand her. History is a pain, too. Big project due soon. Next monday in fact. Science is hard also. I don’t know what I’ll do. Just survive I guess. I wish school would just end.
Chrissy and me are getting along okay. I don’t think her boyfriend likes me being friends with her, but that’s okay.
I wonder if she’s kinda using me to get him jealous. That’s just what I feel, it’s stupid I know. (IT IS STUPID)
HA HA. Me and Jill say that alot.
I got the Joan Rivers album, last Thursday when I went to the mall with Chrissy. Boyfriend didn’t like that much. TOUGH SHIT.
Bananarama is great. I think they are my favorite group as of now. I’ll talk to ya later. I got to do math. REALLY SUCKS. I have a lot of homework to do.
See ya Pete
