Here Now by Summerskin

Enjoyed this charming foray into teenage diaries; writing till your hand runs off the page, making your friends think you're insane, realising later that you were selfish and ungrateful ... yet they stay a precious possession even when you're older and more self-aware. Also liked the innocence of over-indulging ... in dancing and milk shakes!

i expected a lot from neil's praise above and i got it, this is beautifully observed, so easy to relate to. Juliet

thanks for liking Lying Next To Him I Know. it's a very short and personal piece that most people skim through and move on. so i'm glad you thought it was beautiful!
This is a crazy idea. I like crazy ideas. If I understand the set-notes correctly, she's picking entries from her diary and uploading them as stories, out of order. So she's kind of reinventing them as miniature stories (since, without the whole diary, we can't read it as a running narrative,) in the same way 'found poems' reinvent pieces of text as verse.
Give wow jack, u're just going to town on replies, but yes I think it is a well written and blissful story. Well deserving of the cherry.

Give me the beat boys and free my soul! I wanna getta lost in ya rock n' roll and drift away. Drift away...

again, thank you. i feel rather undeserving. it was just a random diary entry. but thank you nonetheless!
i dont know what to say. i stumbled upon this. i had no idea people actually read my diaries. i just use abctales as a place to store them, but wow. i had no idea you liked it. You LOVE ME, you REALLY REALLY LOVE ME!
