Written by Gary Wernham

Had O Level art exam* all day today very boring, it’s quite good. Never saw the fans today coz of exam. They think I might be leaving school on Friday coz I told them to see what they said. They looked a bit upset but I’ll surprise them after Whit hols when I turn up.

* The O Level art exam question was called quite simply, Black on white, and I did a painting of the American Soul singer, Rufus Thomas. The image I got from my pop magazine called the Story of Pop. The exam was six hours long and I had to work from rough sketches, photographs were not allowed in the examination room.

Diary of a Lovesick Teenager

Because this is a diary, it was written at the time and at no point are there any exaggerations, lies or anything that may be misleading, it is written with an honest, if naive hand due to the tender age of it’s author. It can be described as funny, a little sad in parts and reflects my thoughts at the time, but most of all it is an honest document that I hope above all will entertain and amuse.
