10th Grade Deb
There are times when I, too, get extremely bored with me. So much so that I start to feel sorry for all of you out there that like me. Sometimes you have to suffer through my boring ass life. For these desperate times I resort back to my old journals. When I find I have nothing at all to write about or just don’t want to write about what is going on presently, I will dive back into these prized personal archives. I try to find someone, a situation, a feeling that I can grab hold of and talk about. The problem is, sometimes I find even my past bores me to tears.
Tonight, I grabbed my 10th grade journal. Figuring 10th grade was always quite dramatic, I could always count on it for some type of inspiration. I mean with all the hormones running amok and teenage angst there has got to be something to write about. I sat down and read through some of it and it was literally making me laugh my ass off. First of all, I had my first date in 10th grade. This guy was the subject of every entry for the next 3 months. I went on one date with this person. Seriously, 3 months of writing dedicated to this person? I know I dwell, but jesus.
I also could not get over how my little 15 year old brain was being pushed to the max jotting such ditties as:
“She was there and I felt salty“.”He came back 2 school 2day”
“I was totally bustin on him”
“I would totally like him if he wasn’t such a major druggie”
“He was so stupid and I told him he was a gaywad for liking her”
Every other word was “Cool!”
“Oh my god, if that happens, I will totally kill myself(not really, Mom)”
No joke that I would write “(not really)” after writing either “I’m going to kill myself” or “I heart ______”.
Other interesting tidbits I found amusing:
I hoped that Saddam Hussein would come and “destroy” my friend, Jen. Sweet.Every entry in the first months of school ended with “Love ya, Debbie”. Who was I lovin? The journal? Myself? “Future Debbie”? I have no idea.
Hearts were drawn EVERYWHERE.
I was such a drama queen that I called myself an “emotional plaything”(um, hi, I’m 15) and also called a guy a “sex craved maniac” for placing his hand on my butt while we were making out. Oh, and he was also a “perv” and a “scumbag”. Awesome.
I spent about 6 entries on how I said “hi!” to someone that I liked that day. It would go a little something like “I was on my way to World Civ and he was coming towards me on the first floor. I was so nervous but I made myself say hi and he said hi back!”. Holy shit, did I go to Sweet Valley High? Like totally.
Oh my gawd, it was like so much fun to read even though I totally felt gay reading it. Like, ya know? Like I totally need to go catch some z’s now and stuff so I gotta go. LYLAS!
Love ya, Debbie

I really wish I would have kept my old journals and poems, etc. I know I wrote some really wacky stuff…so much craziness, my best friend read a poem and asked me if I was a devil-worshiper. Heh.

Love ya,
Chasey
Chase Says:

“Love ya dearly, but not queerly!”
HAHAHHAHAHAHA!!

CP Says:

That’s a riot. The funny thing to me is that I am STILL best friends with my BFF 4EVA from kindergarten. We still sign our notes like BFF’s 4E N E and TTYL and 2YsUR2YsUB ICUR2Ys4ME. HEhehhehehe.
I used to call myself Robbie Rob. *LOL*

Hi, I’m new to your blog and just wanted to say I’m really enjoying reading it! Down here in Australia, I don’t think we were as, like, TOTALLY into those, you know, RAD words in the 80’s, but like, “like” and “you know?” were still at the top of my list in 1984!! Like, ohmygaad, did I really talk like that??

Oh I found some shit I wrote in 6th grade once and I about died laughing at what a total freaking idiot I was. LOL!! Good times.
Webmiztris Says:
I threw out all of my journals in high school. can you believe that shit? I would kick my own ass if I could!
T. Says:
I threw out all my journals. I should have kept them because apparently they’re great entertainment value now. Sweet Valley high? Ha! I used to watch that show with the blond twins.
Snuffy Says:
Wish I’d had long term vision…or maybe not. I was a bad ass all through school and well beyond and some of the stuff I did is well buried.
Mr. Fabulous Says:
LMAO @ gaywad!
Too funny!
Deb_LA Says:
Chasey-As long as you think you rule that is all that matters!
CP-Robbie Rob?? LMAO!
Linda-Thank you so much! I hope you come on back. Like I am totally going to head over to yours too!
Bec Says:
I’m too scared to open my old journals… I was such a freak, y’know?
Deb_LA Says:
Lysie-6th grade? Oh I totally found a notebook from 6th grade over the summer and in it I wrote a song about Richard Grieco from 21 Jump Street. It’s freaking hilarious. I peed my pants. Seriously.
Dawn-Come here! I’ll kick it! Crap! It’s so funny, you so should have kept them!
T.-I loved those books and that show. I remember so badly wishing I had a twin. So funny, there was actually a boyfriend named Tad. AND they were all blond hair and blue eyed. Too funny.
Snuffy-you were a bad ass? Yeah, see I was so far from it. I smoked pot, that was as far as I went.
Mr Fab-Um, you are such a gaywad.:-P
DeeJay Says:
Hehe…you said…gaywad….hehehe.
Welcome to Simply Sassy!! Thanks for bidding.
Deb_LA Says:
Bec-oh, please, you don’t think I know? Did you read this last entry? That’s only the tip of the freak iceberg, girl.
ABlondeBlogger Says:
Oh my gosh, that is so freakin’ hilarious!! I never heard the term “salty.” I’ll have to start using that!
(You know the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that word, right? LOL)
LYLAS,
Dawn

You were a positively beautiful 10th grader Deb!

Janet Says:
I didn’t keep a journal in high school, I kept a quote book. Chances are though if I HAD kept a journal then, it would look a lot like the blog I have now.
So to borrow an “old school” phrase that the kids still use from time to time…”It’s all good.”:)
Along Says:
Hahaha..this is too funny. I have 2 journals from high school; one of has MC Hammer as my favorite artist. The shame!!! My brothers found out about this and teased for weeks, the little buggers.
Oh and my journals had lots of hearts too. What’s up with that?
