Best day of my life (or one of them)

Went school in morning, stayed at dinner. Debbie and Joanne said will I go out with Catherine, I said Don‘t believe you, then Catherine admitted it was true. I told them I had an art exam then went to it. They stood near a wall looking up into the classroom where I was at dinner and last break. I think she must be keen. Didn’t see her at hometime. So I’m officially going out with Catherine Deakin*. Played table tennis with Howard at night.

It took me 314 days to get going out with Catherine.

* I remember the feeling I had when I believed that I was officially going out with Catherine Deakin. It was a roller Coaster of emotions. I felt about 10 feet tall, was very very happy, and equally as shy. The sad thing about was that I didn’t know what to do next as I hadn’t actually spoken to the girl or asked her myself. I was so shy and also very happy.

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.
