Dear Diary,
Today I found 4 pennies in Miss Kiessling's pocket.
She let me keep them.

Dear Diary,
Played Money Box. Twisted leg. Washed hair.

Dear Diary,
Holly and I slept out in my backyard. At 2:00 in the morning we walked to the corner.
November 13, 1970
Dear Diary,
Sally's 14! Get this: Sally, Helen, Valli & Kim stayed overnight. We TP'd Art's house and SNUCK INTO SADIE HAWKINS! We're in for it Monday!
Other than the apparent life of crime I was headed for at a young age (pickpocketing, property damage, sneaking into high school dances), what strikes me the most about these authentic snippets from the very first diary of my life is the simplicity surrounding an adolescent girl growing up back in the day in the burbs of a big city.
Dig the pic of yours truly, diary and pencil in hand, circa 1970. A blogger in the making. Who knew?
I blog, therefore I am.
Happy Thursday!
