a mistake?

Speaker 1 (00:28):
I covered it well, but I did it at shaky
little shaky.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah. Yeah, that was pretty good, pretty good effort.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah. I just soldiered on, soldered on through it.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
That's the way you're supposed to do it. When you're
a professional. If you make a mistake, you just keep going.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well, if you're a professional, like you're supposed to not
make mistakes.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Everybody makes mistakes.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
True, it sounds like you could be making a big
mistake soon.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
I might be making a mistake.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm very keen to.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Let's get straight. Yeah, we left off with this guy
Kenneth who I like, about to come over to my house.
So let's find out what happened. So this is a
continuation of Saturday, December twenty nine, nineteen ninety and it's

(01:29):
a conversation written in my diary between me and my
cousin Nancy. Okay, okay, me, what do you think of Kenneth? Nancy?
I think he's nice Me And do you think he
likes me? Nancy? Yes, So it doesn't sound like there

(01:56):
was any hanky panky going on?

Speaker 4 (02:01):
No, no, me?

Speaker 3 (02:06):
How much do you like Clint? Why do you like him?
So my cousin's got a crush on my.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Border you never had a crush on hi?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
No iy ikey because he's like a brother, another brother, Nancy.
He's good looking, and he's very polite and well mannered
and nice, very nice. Me. Yes, but how much do

(02:41):
you like him? Nancy? So much that I could cuddle
him forever, unlike me who wants to do the wild.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Thing for it?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Me?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
How come he didn't stick around my which when Kenneth
was around Nancy, because I'm shy and didn't know him
at all? Okay, me, okay, do you want to see
if we can drive?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Now?

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Just ask your dad if you can drive it If
we're not allowed, do you just want to sit in it? Nancy? Yes?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I suppose.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
So Nancy had her learner's permit and we had I
think I've referred to this before. We had a vacant
block of land next to our house, yep, And sometimes
her dad would let her drive both of us just
around and around the vacant block of land in the car.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Car. Yeah, yeah, it was it a cool car. It
was just a car car.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oh, it was just a regular car. Okay that I
just thought it was cool because you know, driving.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh of course, I'm not saying it course, just like.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Could have been a piece a crap. I probably would
have thought it was cool anyway. Later, so, yeah, Kenneth
came over. Mmmmm he laid on my bed. Oh scandalous
the feet end. Okay, reading reading, Dolly doctor.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
He's fanging for it.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
At least he knows when to be sympathetic, like when
it's that time of the month. Okay, yeah, yeah, Then
he had to go. We talked a bit at the car.
He wanted to know what color my eyes were, and
he looked into them and I would have kissed him then,

(04:49):
but I wasn't sure how he'd react.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, that's pretty smooth move.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
And then I say, I'm glad I didn't.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Though, Okay, are you souring on it?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
I don't know, he said.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
He you know, that's the thing every time you say
I don't know, and I'm like, this was you you lived?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, but I can't remember why I said that? Right now?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
All right? Cool?

Speaker 3 (05:15):
He said, what would your old man say if he
knew you had a massive crush on me? And I
said I don't know which is true?

Speaker 1 (05:24):
And he goes protecting himself.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Maybe. Then he goes, what would your mum say? And
I said, probably that's nice or oh okay, which is
very very mum.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yes, very much. So yep, whatever gets you out of
the house. I don't care.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Then he left, okay.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Then I got a call from him. Do you want
to go swimming? He's taking he's taking Kent's move.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
But in a in a in his pool or in
just because there's not anywhere around there you can go swimming?
Is there that's not a pool?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
No? No, I said no, for obvious reasons. We have visitors,
I'm sunburned. Plus, what is he trying to imply?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Ha ha? How dare he suggest you're up for a
route when nothing but been up for a route for
the past two months?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
So he said he'd try and come around tonight, and
if he can't, he'll give me a ring.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
So it's on. Essentially, it's all. It's been established that
it's on.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Nancy said she can tell that he.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Likes me blind, Freddy could.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
We went and sat in the Gemini there you go.
That's what kind of car it is. And Nancy taught
me how to drive.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
How old is she's sixteen?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
A sixteen year old teaching a fourteen year old how
to drive.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, it's in a paddock.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Essentially, teaching is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's now six twelve pm. I can't wait until Kenneth
comes around. I'll write more when he leaves. If he
comes over. He doesn't know if he can borrow the
car or not yet, but believe me, he'll try.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Oh yeah, he knows. There's a sure thing on the
other end.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Later he came over. He came inside and watched Turner
and Hooch with us. Do you remember that movie?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yes? And this is Mike's friend, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Oh yeah, but mostly Mike's friend, but I also know
him from school and the school musical and stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, okay, all right, It's.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Just Hooch would be unusual for him, just a friend
of yours, to come over and watch movies with you
and your family.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
I don't know if it's my family or just like
us kids.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Well, don't you have visiting relatives?

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, but they might have been a different part of
the house because it had multiple living areas.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Or they could have been out down the pub. Who knows.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
True.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, Turner and Hooch was the movie with Tom Hanks
and that giant slobbery dog.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yes, yeah, that was.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
A good one. Then I went outside with him and
sat on the boot of his car and talked for
about an hour and a half.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Okay, is that PG talked or is that like? Are
we just talked?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I think it would have been chatting okay about whatever.
Then he got in the car and started it up
and told me to lean over, So I did. I'm guessing,
like leaning over sort of into the window.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Okay, yep.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
And he put a chain around my neck, the one
that usually has his shark's tooth on it.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
And we're not even going out yet.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
M M.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
So I'm like, whooh, he's giving me jewelry Sentimental jewelry. Okay,
we're not even going out yet.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
But does he know that that you're not going.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Out yet today? Maybe that's what we talked about. I
don't go into detail. So he's coming over on New
Year's Eve?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yes, mm hmmm, they're still tight.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Still chance, still a chance.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
I'll get there for New Years.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Believe in your goals, you can do it.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
This might in capital letters last. I say that a
lot about relationships. I think this is going to last,
like it never does. Is it foreshadowing? I know you
hate it?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, I just I just want to see you happy.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
So yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Sunday, December thirty, nineteen ninety at eleven eleven am. It's
another conversation between me and Nancy. I'm guessing we're doing
this a lot because there's like other people around. We
don't want them to hear our conversation.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Maybe and this as you basically having your having You're
in your will hide away and you're just like, oh,
write this.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
And her brother's around, My brother's around, and Clint is around,
so they might not have been much privacy for having conversations.
So maybe that's why me. What's wrong? Nancy? I don't
want to go to Auntie Barb's and then go home.

(11:24):
So that's another one of my mum's siblings who lives
in between us and.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Our uncle.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Okay, so they're planning on making a stop on the
way home when they go home.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
But they don't want to do that. Is there a
reason that she.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Doesn't want to do?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
You think me?

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Why not? Nancy? Because I don't want to. I don't
really know me because of Clint. Nancy. Well, sort of
every time I think of him, I cry, me why Nancy?
Because I like him a lot?

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Okay, around this time, I have to be very cautious
about young girls going Oh, this person wants to make
me cry, because it's like that could not great?

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah, me, and you don't want to leave when everything
just started to happen, Nancy, Well, yes, you could say
that me. Did anything else happened last night apart from
what you already told me? Don't know what she already

(12:45):
told me, Nancy. He paused the video and wanted to
know what I told you about liking him. So I
guess she told me that she liked him, and now
he is asking her what she told me.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Okay, yeah, so he wants to know what she said
to you about liking Yeah me.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Did you tell him? Nancy?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (13:23):
I wrote it down on a piece of paper, because
remember she's very shy. Me and what did he say
about that? Nancy? He said, well, what am I going
to do about this?

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Me?

Speaker 3 (13:43):
And what did you say? Nancy? I said, I don't know?

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Me.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
So did you get a tingle down your spine when
he held your hand? M Nancy? Yes, it felt different. Me. Oh,
Nancy likes Clint lovey Doveyes, mm hmmm, I'm so mature. Ah.

(14:25):
I almost fainted when Kenneth put that chain around my neck. Nancy.
I almost fainted when Clint paused the TV and asked
what I told you about him? Me? So, what are
you going to do when you leave? Nancy? Write letters
to him? Days before the internet text messaging, Yeah, me,

(14:51):
what will you say to him when you go? Nancy
that I love him? Me?

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Do you love him?

Speaker 3 (15:01):
I mean it usually takes a while before you actually
grow to love someone.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
That's probably probably wisdom.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, yeah, I was about to say, okay.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Right, yeah Nancy, Yes, I really love him and I
would like to go out with him.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Me.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Wow, this all sounds pretty heavy, like I've known Kenneth
for about two years now. I know heaps about him
and I've seen him change and stuff like that. I
think that means not change his clothes, but change is in.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, you would have mentioned his dong if you had of.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
I'm sure I would have. I've had a crush on
him for three weeks and two days. I like him
a lot, but I definitely don't love him. Love is
a different feeling. I've only been properly in love twice.
So are you positive it's love? Nancy? I like him
and I love him, and I would like to go

(16:01):
out with him. I want to talk to him tonight me.
So why don't you ask him out? Because I do
that all the time. Take it for a pro, Yeah, Nancy,
I'm too scared to because if he doesn't want to
then I'll be very unhappy. But I'll give it a try.

(16:24):
I don't know. All I can think to say to
him is that I love him.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
Me.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
I think he would say yes, but there are a
couple of reasons why he might say no, the main
one being that you live so far away. Do you
think it would be worth it? I mean, you'd hardly
ever see each other, Nancy, that's true, but I'll be
writing letters to him all the time. I've just got
to tell him what I've got to say, and then

(16:51):
I'll feel a bit better and more relaxed.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Okay, poor Nancy.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Falling in love with someone who lives like I think
it's about a ten hour drive.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Also too, poor Nancy coming to you for love advice.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Ah, I'm a woman of the world.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Okay, she's older than me. Yeah, I know. It's just
sort of like, does she ever turn around and go
what would you know? All right?

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Monday, December thirty first, nineteen ninety ten, twenty three am
New Year's Eve. It's the last day of nineteen ninety
and boy has it gone quickly? Mum, Dad, Uncle, Perry
and Pierce are going bowling tonight. Kenneth is coming over.

(17:57):
We might go to Matthew's party. I hope not.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
I understand the context. Yes, you don't have to point
that out.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Maybe I'll be going with Kenneth by nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Maybe my guts will be rearranged. We don't know.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Tuesday January first, nineteen ninety one, at eleven forty two pm.
Happy New Year.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Wow. Last night.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Tuesday January first, yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
New yearesday night you rasee yep.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Okay, last night and this morning was a blast?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
What type of blast?

Speaker 3 (18:53):
We went to Matthew's place. Okay, we watched a video
Midnight Madness and played to music and ate and that
I almost threw up. I was laughing so hard. Susann
Foxworthy rang from Laura's house but hung up on Matthew
when she heard him say to Mitch, it's just this

(19:15):
dumb girl from school.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's so nice.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
She had a bit of a crush on Matthew. Then
we counted down to New Year's We talked about that
the best things that happened in nineteen ninety I said
my baptism, which I don't think I ever actually wrote about.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
No, I don't think you had.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Oh no, hang on, I remember saying something about my
mum didn't want to go.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, but that's writing about.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, No, it's pretty important thing to not write about.
And then we said what some of our New Year's
resolutions would be. Then we prayed and sang. By this
time it was about one am Me, Matthew, Jeremy Clint,
Mike Kimberly, Nancy Seth and Mitch went for a walk

(20:11):
to the Zen Gardens. We stopped in and saw Suzanne
Foxworthy and Laura Hart at Laura's place. The first thing
Suzanne said to Matthew was, so have you got with
Bestie yet? Trust Susan, She's just jealous. So this is
the Matthew who wrote me the love palm. Yes, so

(20:34):
she likes Matthew. Matthew likes me, and now she's been
all Kenneth only. We stayed at the gardens for a while.
On the little waterfall, it was so beautiful, Matthew said
to Nancy, and I'm not supposed to know. Gee, Bestie

(20:58):
is beautiful. She tortures me.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Oh good, he's he's putting in the hard yards too. Yep.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Anyway, Matthew reckons he can tell that Clint likes Nancy.
Then we went to the park for a while. Jeremy
and I were on the swings and Nancy yelled out,
mister and missus Bruce, it's time to go. So Jeremy
and I walked arm in arm, pretending we were married.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
Ha.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Then it was three am. By now we decided to
go to BP and get some hot food.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
So we did as you do.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
That place is excellent. It was pretty new, so yeah,
I think it was just like it was probably food
that had been in the warmers since eight o'clock that morning,
nothing like a dried out possibly salmonella field pie or
sausage roll.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I love, I love food, servo food, so it's good.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
When it's fresh. I'm not sure if it still would
have been fresh though.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
No.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
No, And on the way back we saw all these drunks.
We had to walk past a pub, so makes sense.
Then we flaked at Matthew's about four thirty am, except Jeremy.
He walked home and we watched Bill and Ted's Excellent

(22:29):
Adventure when we woke up.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Okay, yeah, so that's essentially you're celebrating. You hang out
with friends.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, okay, but not Kenneth.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
There's no mention of him in there.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
But didn't he take you to the party or no?

Speaker 3 (22:51):
I went with my brother and Clint and Nancy.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Okay, I lost and that's chain.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Oh no, mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
I've been talking to everybody and they reckon I shouldn't
go out with him.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Because he's a user.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
All right, It's like, WHOA, why didn't Mike tell me that? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
H did he know how serious you were? I don't know,
but whanted you get that, Ken d.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
I don't know, but Ken doesn't have a d ha
ha ha.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
I like that, well done, hoisted on my own.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
But Tad, well, everyone I talked to said that at
separate times, so I'm not going to go out with him.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Okay, screw his advice for once, and screw his h
he's a chain.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, whoops. Nancy is staying with us until we go
down to Sandyton, so that is Yeah, that's where Annie
Barb lives, so.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
She's not going down when they're going down with She
didn't want to go down to relative's place.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, she didn't want to go yet. So her dad
and brother are leaving and she's staying with us for
a few extra days and then we're going to end
up in the same place. Anyway, Sometimes I wish she
wasn't staying, but she's pretty independent. The reason why I
wish sometimes that she wasn't staying is that I have
a lack of privacy because she's sleeping in my room. Okay, yeah,

(24:43):
so I guess that's been a good week since she's
been there, So probably being an introvert, probably wanting my
own space back a bit. Here are my resolutions, He's
always great. One to serve the Lord as best I can.

(25:09):
Two to write in my diary every day. Okay I
say that every year, yes, yeah. Three to exercise every day.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
M hmm.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Four to eat my.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Vegetables so lit's safer.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
I always ate my vegetables, though I had to. You
aren't allowed to leave the table, and then she ate
all your veggies?

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Was a resolution that you wanted to eat all your vegetables.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Rather maybe eat more vegetables. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Five to do good at school mm hmm. Six to
find a nice boyfriend and stay with him. Okay, no
mention of virginity there. Stay with him?

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, didn't you think that was the end of last year? Goal?

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Okay, it's changed the next day, it's changed. Seven to
help mum more around the house.

Ten yeah, okay.

resolution live.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yes, so yeah. That was eleven forty two on January
the first, and now it's January the second at ten
one am. So not quite twelve hours since I wrote
that list.

You're keeping your resolution about writing every day?

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yes, And I say, well, so far I've kept all
my resolutions. Yeay, okay, less than twelve hours. I'm doing great.
Oh he would have been asleep.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Haven't fought with Mike. I'm good good for me.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Today, I am going to ring Heath. I hope he
is home. I will apologize for all the mean things
I did and said, and hopefully he will accept my apology.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Especially when he was being repeu at the driving. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
I might ring Natasha later too, And I think this
is related to ringing Natasha. I want to find a
Bible verse that has something about ugliness in it.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
I think, hush, I think I want to read my
friend because fuck her and her ugly chad brain. I
think it was going to be like one of my
one of my resolutions is to praise the Lord and
sing his name and let Jesus know, let people know

(29:34):
more about Jesus. So what I'm saying, friend of mine,
is Jesus thinks you're fucking but ugly.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
I think I was thinking of the The Lord doesn't
look at the outward appearance but the heart.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeah, which basically means you can be fugly as much
you like, and Jesus loves you.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Help her gain self respect.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Okay, he loved the lepers and he'll also love you too.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Oh dear.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
It's just like, yeah, I just want to I just
want to be more mindful and sing his names and
tell my friends they're ugly, but don't worry. God said
you're fine.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yeah, oh dear, So here is a list.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
I want to find a Bible passage to tell my
friend about her being fucking but ugly.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
It's okay if you're ugly.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
God loves you anyway.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
That is a fantastic sentiment, like happy. You've been sitting
there and it's not just you rang up your friend
and said, don't worry. You're not ugly. You don't worry
about being ugly. It's fine. You've actually had to sit down,
go through the Bible passages. Not when you've got Google
week and go give me a Bible passage about being ugly.

(30:53):
You'd have to speak to someone.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
You'd have to do an out of effort to go,
I know you're ugly, but it's ok it's okay, it's
all right.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
So here is a list of things we have to
do today. One clean the bedroom and two ring heath.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
And three find a bubble passage from ugui friend.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
I can't think of anything else we need to do.
Neither can Nancy. Last night we looked at all of
Clint's photographs.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
It took hours.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
He was an amateur photographer had quite a lot. It
would have been in albums probably, or like tons and
tons of those little envelopes. Yeah, with all the photos
in in the olden days when you had to get
the printed. That show Cops was supposed to be on

(31:52):
last night, but it didn't come on. What a bummer.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay, to watch it again.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
I became a big fan of Cops. I will still
watch it if I find it on Telly.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Okay, no Police ten to seven or the Inn.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
It's got to be Cops, man, the what's that one?
There was an Aussie one. I think it was gold
Cost Cops or something like that. Okay, that one was
all right, but I usually I like the American ones.
Oh well, hopefully it will be on next Tuesday. This

(32:35):
morning I studied the Bible for about an hour. It
was excellent. I'm reading three Genesis. I am up to
the story of Joseph and his coat.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
It is so cool.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Now if you want to talk about ugly, talk about
his coat like my friend, like my friend, so ugly.
It looks like a technical colored yawn.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Stop one being me.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Now, I didn't write it in a book.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
True, very cheap.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
You made a list and one of your list is
make make my chat of a friend feel better about
ugly with a Bible verse.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
No, the TV Guide is coming out tomorrow. I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
That used to be a thing.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yeah. You know, my grandmother, one of my grandmothers, used
to always get TV Week magazine, which was even better
than the TV Guide, but.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
My mom wouldn't get it because you have to pay
for it.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Well, my mum was Woman's Day. That was her magazine,
occasionally the Women's Weekly.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
I thought it was stupid that the Woman's Day was
a weekly magazine and the Woman's Weekly was a monthly magazine.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
There was a reason for that. Hang on, I know
there was a.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Maybe they couldn't say Women's monthly because it sounded like something.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Else weekly, and I think Woman's Day was about it's
this is what happens in a woman's day day. Yeah,
but I strained Woman's Weekly it was it did start

(34:36):
as weekly, okay. Yeah, So in nineteen eighty two, publication
frequency was reduced from weekly to monthly. Weekly Weekly was
kept as.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
The name.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
That was a name because familiarity and because a Woman's
Monthly was a slaver.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, So basically says the magazine was two hundred and
forty pages. It was originally tabloid a layout basically that
they just couldn't keep up with the publication due to news,
and then they switched it to monthly.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah, it was pretty fat magazine.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Two hundred and forty pages at the time.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Yeah, every week, that's a lot. Yeah, all right, I
can't wait for the TV guide. I want to see
what is on. The Elephant Man is on tonight, excellent.
Don't think I've ever watched the entire thing though.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
I don't think i've even seen it. I know a
lot about it, but instead, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Might have to watch that. We were going to go
bike riding today, but we can't now because of the weather.
It's dark, windy and rainy. Auntie Glenda rang up this
morning and they were having a storm there. She and
Uncle Bert are coming up tomorrow to pick up a tree.

(36:22):
We had these big trees in our backyard that we
didn't want there anymore, so instead of just cutting them down,
we dug them up roots and all, and one of
our neighbors I think took one, and then uncle one
of the other one. I think there was some type

(36:42):
of palm tree, not like really really tall ones.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
But yeah, okay, so yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
We're going to come and pick up a tree, as
one does. Yep. Kevin and Deborah are coming around too,
because they're back together. Always get together, breaking up, getting together,
breaking up, blah blah blah. They might have to do
their stuff in inverted commerce, in the music room with

(37:14):
a door locked.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Okay, your music room or their music room, well, my house. Yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Maybe I'm facilitating a bit of rumpy pumpy for them, okay,
or at least a place to make out.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Okay, right, yeah, good friend, good family.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Yeah, but with my aunt and uncle coming over.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
To sometimes, you just gotta he's got to do it.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yeah, anyway, I have to go now, write later.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Later.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
Well, we rang Heaths Okay, he wasn't home.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
We left a message with his brother.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
He'll ring me back in two years. That is how
much longer he'll be in Bridgton.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Okay, alright, So he went there for UNI, so.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
That's why he hasn't been You can't.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, and his brother doesn't have an address or phone
number for him. I call a bull on that.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah, yeah, maybe he's running from what he doesn't want
to talk to you, because it's a maybe who's going
to slap you? You're going to slap him with the
injunction or something.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Maybe he's not in Bridgeton at all.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
He knows that he went to the driving with a
twelve year Yeah, so that was a.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Bit of a bum. Oh well, I tried. Deborah is
coming around at nine thirty am tomorrow. Ye, And we
told Kevin to come over at ten thirty am because
Deborah doesn't want him to be here the whole time.

(39:23):
Maybe she doesn't want to do their thing in the
locked music room.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Then well maybe she does but knows that he doesn't
want she doesn't. It's like, think you do it too early,
and then it's sort of just like okay.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Now what Yeah? Yeah, and I think I've mentioned that before,
haven't I.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah, yeah, all the experience that you've gone through.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yes, of course I want a boyfriend of my own.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yes, yes, you know.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Nancy and I the whole the common thread throughout all
of the diaries. Yeah, Nancy and I had a mini
jam today. Nancy played the drums and I sang. We
did Debbie gibbson songs off Electric Youth. We were quite good.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Is that I think we're alone.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
Now that that was Tiffany sorry, Debbie Gibson was electric
youth and we could be together lost in your eyes
piano one. Yeah. So, because my brother played a lot
of instruments, we had like a little room that was

(40:50):
the music room, and there was a drum kit. There
was a keyboard like an organ, a small one, and his.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Tars so like a conservatorium type thing.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Yeah, yeah, okay, and a few other percussions. There was
a microphone on a stand and with an amplifier, and
some percussiony things like miracas.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
And because when you're in a band and that type
of thing.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
So yeah, yep, okay.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
I found another picture for my Corey Feldman wall, so
that's still a thing.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
I wonder why I didn't have a Kevin Arnold wall.
Why wasn't I cutting pictures of him out of magazines?

Speaker 1 (41:38):
That's an interesting question. Would there have been such a thing?

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he wasn't seen as like
a teen heart throbbers much as Corey Felman and stuff
because he was younger.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Well certainly not in in like the Dolly magazines and
that type of thing.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
He doesn't yeah, because they were usually older guys.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Yeah and yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Okay, So this picture of Corey Feldman is a cartoon
from my old Countdown Diary caricature. I'm guessing it really
looks like him. Hm. I'm starting a new section under
my Wallaby poster with just cute guys. I'm guessing cute

(42:34):
guys other than Corey Veldman. Yes, so far, I have
Billy Worth from The Lost Boys and Keanu Reeves from
Bill and Ted. So far, I think that is all
I will put there.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
That's pretty sol a list.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yeah, there's a there's a theme emerging here too with Cory,
Billy and Keanu all have longish dark hair.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Okay, so you're developing your type, yes.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Very much.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
So Okay, we'll see if it continues.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
I'm just trying to think if any of the boys
of like so far I've had long dark hair, and
I don't think they have. Maybe that's just like my
ideal and nobody's matched my ideal. But I'm just taking
whatever I can get in the meantime.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Well, there's also you have to be conscious of the
fact of where you are. There is not that like
you are, you have a limited them to a group
to choose from.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
I guess, yeah, that's true, and I don't think I
mean being in high school. Not many people at school
did have long hair because it was still in our
school rules that you were meant to have shot back
and sides and if not, you had to like wear
it pulled back. So most most of the boys had

(44:17):
hair above the collar some description, except the few that
had mullets.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Mullet.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Gotta love a mullet.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Classic.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Yeah. Anyway, that is all the news I have today.
I'll get Deborah and Kevin to write tomorrow. I have
to have a bath now, so see you later, dearest diary.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
PS.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
I love Corey Feldman, Billy Worth and Keanu Reeves.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
Forever Classic Classic, Classic, Classic ending tour.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
So I love these people.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Yep, never met him in my life, but I love them.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
So do you remember a few episodes ago we were
talking about how epic nineteen ninety one is going to be,
how much I was looking forward to, yes reading the
entries because stuff is going to happen. I'm going to
stop nineteen ninety one here for now, okay, And our

(45:32):
next episode, which will be episode thirty, is going to
be a bit of a special.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
I'm not going to tell you what's special about it yet,
but it's not going to be my.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Diary, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
So technically our next episode, episode thirty, is going to
be the season finale, okay, and then season two is
going to start with the.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Bulk of.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Nineteen ninety one and beyond. But that's where it's going
to start, okay, Okay, Alright, So I think I wanted
to make this distinction because it was quite a there's
quite a leap that's going to happen in terms of

(46:30):
maybe not so much maturity, but definitely more mature themes.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Are you getting into your slot area.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
I'm not giving anything away, that's.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
All I know.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
People were on let's go, But also there's just some
things that happen that are not so jovial, shall.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
We say, bit heavier.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
There's there's some yeah, some heavier topics coming up. Okay, okay,
So yeah, we're going to leave this part of nineteen
ninety one for now, okay, and yeah, next episode, something
a little bit different, something a little bit special, and yeah,
before we then embark on season two.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Okay, all right, it's uh, yeah, it's it's it I'm
blown away. This is the ade left field and it's
pretty cool, and I'm excited about the next one and
scared about the next one, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
It's it's diary adjacent.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Oh okay, so all right, cool, I'll still.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Be reading out things that have been written down.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
Okay, all right, So okay, it's very interesting, Yeah, very
beard striking, very interesting.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Yeah, and you're looking forward to it, I am.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
It's just it's well, it's sort of like, oh, that's
going to be interesting, and then excited in a little
trepidacious concern for once after that. So yeah, you know,
just I don't like bad things happening to you. So yeah,
it's all.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
It's a it's a big growth period, I'll say that.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
I know, but I don't like when you're not good,
you know what.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
There will be a little bit of yeah, not goodness.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Yes, and that's that's what I'm like. But yeah, it's okay,
I know, but.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
You spoiler, absolute spoiler. She grows up to be pretty
al right.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
I know, but still was like everything worked out in
the end. I'd like it to be not as bad
in the middle bit too.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Yeah, but there are all the bits that made me
who I am now, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Yeah, he said a light chi barker. Then I was
just like, yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Okay, all right, well okay, I'll be brave if everyone
else is brave and.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Yeah, okay, okay, okay, I'll do my best deep breath.
