This entry is from an ancient 1980 paper diary tucked away on our bookself. Rereading it revealed how much has changed, how much I am the same (in spite of growing up) which inspired my typing it into a 21st Century friendly form to share with the world - starting here.
Tuesday 4/1/80 April Fools!
Today was a crazy day. No 4 + 5 period class leaves a big gap. I felt like being a little bizarre today so I wore my Whites T, my hair and earring combo, blue pants and purple jacket + wild makeup. Fun. I know "they" must have thought I was nuts! I think I looked terrific.
Ross has my head all messed up. I don't like the way he thinks - He makes me want my Bernie all the more. I called him from work today - And it felt so good. I wanted to be with him to cheer him up. He sounded so depressed - seemed so despondent. Poor guy - I'm glad I don't get like that. Just slightly down -"Blue" is the best word.
Today I even got an April Fool's joke. Someone has taken it upon themselves to police my mailbox. I got a note in it stating that it did not meet "requirements" (Gone to get ∧ with Lisa W.) Yes - I got official red tape from the Office of Governmental Postal Box Regulatory Systems for Cardboard Boxes. Good Grief! I thought it was hilarious, but I can't figure out "who dunnit"
I was going to do reading for the blind this afternoon, but Kathleen and I worked late at the greenhouse. So I went home and called Lucy (she was the first message in my box) Her sister was coming into town - and everyone was having dinner. Sure I said. I walked to Lucy's (not a long walk) and no one (or so it seemed) was there - Actually Lucy slept through a whole Generation X albumside. I just made myself at home. She came downstairs all groggy and I sort of surprised her! The evening was enjoyable.. I got more stoned on pot (before Lucy woke up) than I had been in ages. Strange. I wonder when I'll get out of this binge. Erie brought it on - I realized how enjoyable it all is. Want to be with Berny. Want "Shock Treatment". Two weeks ago today was the first NIGHT that was SO together. I wish I could feel like that more often!
Today was the first day around the lab without Ed. I miss him already - Onward to Wed. - I'll add more things as I remember them
