I've known my bestie for fifteen yearsnow, but what was she like before
I met her? Welcome to Doraof my Bestie, where she reads to
me her childhood diaries or names andidentifying places have been changed to protect themselves
when the innocent and I screwed thatup and I'm getting roll through like no
one ever noticed. I'm the guilty. But we're also staying anonymous. So
if you think you know us,no you don't. Welcome back to Dora
(00:23):
my Bestie, Hello Bestie, HelloBesty. It's been a long day,
a very long day. These lastseven months have been the longest day of
my life. How are you going? I've been a bit sick, yes,
I heard you weren't feeling well oras as been you were feeling poorly
(00:47):
poorly? Yes, I don't feellike I should have a cup of tea
and maybe hold my pinky up.How are you feeling poorly? Love him?
I've been most unwell. I getthough. I'm still a bit I
was gonna say I'm still a bitchesty, but that sounds not quite right.
(01:07):
Sounds okay? Oh well, it'san audio only podcast, so yeah,
what stays in Riverside stays in Riverside, So shout out to Riverside.
Yes, thank you for taking ourmoney, yeah and making this possible work
doing it for car. When didwe when it was first podcast? I
(01:34):
don't know the one that how wemet each other? Oh, yeah,
that was you would have been twothousand and eight or no, well my
son was born in two thousand andseven and he was a toddler when we
so, yeah, but when wefirst met verse, when we first knew
(01:59):
each other, like, oh yeahin the flesh verse. Yeah, that
sounds a little bit, goes alongwith chesty. I've got I've got the
before we kick off, I've gotthe perfect joke that I've heard the other
day. Okay, I always haterunning late to the Cannibal dinner party.
I always get the cold shoulder.Do you know what the best part of
(02:23):
that joke was the rim shot?That's what she said, a little insight
into our normal conversations there. Let'sget it back to the p genius of
this relatives has it ever been pgUh? The g isn't is in denial,
(02:45):
but always never do So, howare we going? After our last
entry about we're kicking off? Thingswere happening the love affairs were coming and
going like a like a seven toeleven, so I'm interested to know what's
happening next. It was kind ofa little bit sad at the end of
(03:05):
the last episode because I'd got dumpedby Chad the soccer star and then had
a falling out with my best friend. Would you say it was a bit
of melancholy and almost infinite sands temporarilyinfinite hang on, No, that can't
be a thie temporary sadness. Well, speaking of coming and going, I've
(03:30):
got another joke. Oh dear,Okay, yesterday I try to go to
the Tobacconists to restock, but they'dchanged it with another dress store. That's
just the way it goes close.But no cigar. Come on, this
is gold. I'm bringing gold.This is the really Bad Dad Joke podcast.
(03:57):
I like those two. Okay,so yeah, my husband will appreciate
them more than me. I'm sure. Yep. I'll tell him later,
okay, yes, and you'll probablyhear them again. Yes, that's okay.
Actually, probably be more efficient justto tell him because you would have
ended up here. I'll pass themon. Cool. Let's kick off,
(04:20):
all right, and we are kickingoff on Wednesday, July the eleventh,
nineteen ninety. Dear Diary, todayI feel even worse. My throat is
still sore, though not as soreas yesterday. My nose is running,
(04:41):
and my whole body aches. Yeah. Oh well, midwinter, so more
likely just gems from people at school. The stress wouldn't have helped. No,
it wouldn't have. So I'm stayinghome. I wish I felt better
so I could go to school andtalk to Deborah. Mhm, but just
(05:05):
to refresh, are you friends?Is Deborah on the outer because wasn't there
that whole thing of Natasha had toldme some things that she said that Deborah
told her. Did we ever resolvethat? Or is that to be?
Yeah? That's yeah, that's whyI wanted to Okay, See, it's
sometimes hard to keep the tendrils allin a straight line. Yes, there
(05:28):
are so many tendrils. Yes,yes, so much tendrils hen Tai.
People look at it and go,well, so down. That was quality
and off the top of my head, amazing. All right, I'm not
going to Bible study tonight either.Oh well, at least I'll get to
(05:51):
watch Full House. And given thehistory of Cameron, I Candice Cameron.
Yeah, it kind of was Biblestudy. Yeah yeah, a bit controversial
that girly I'd say, cringe morethan controversial, Like the hen tie,
(06:15):
it's well settle down. Sometimes it'shard to tell whether our family is growing
closer together or whether each person istrying to go a separate way. It
mostly seems like we're getting closer.Dad hardly yells, I haven't had a
properfy it with Mum or Mike inages. I wish we did more things
(06:39):
together, but since Mum works Saturdaymorning, Mike works Saturday and Sunday afternoon,
and church goes to twelve and Sunday, it's a bit hard. Maybe
when Mum and Dada retired, we'llfind a weekend when all of us are
free and go somewhere. Sounds good, doesn't it? Without being too far
(07:00):
under the surface. Is the aspirationmore than the reality is? Like,
if you had that opportunity, doyou think you would have gone and done
more stuff together or were you justso ingrained in your tracks that that's the
groove that you guys had found andyou were just doing it. I think
with my brother and I now bothteenagers, it was just the natural progression
(07:27):
of kids starting to separate from theirparents and wanting to do their own thing.
Yeah, because the context is Mike'sgetting to that age where having his
little sister around all the time startsto become a social anchor. Yeah.
Yeah, especially in such a smalltown. Yeah. I do like though
(07:48):
that I'm talking about my parents retiringand they're only in their early forties here.
You got to, as you andI have, being of ages around
that time. I'm sure our kidsthink of us as so old that we're
going to retire ancient. And Iwant, actually, I wonder if it's
(08:09):
a contextual side going on side Benzieall the time, because it's been that
kind of week and I'm I've beenlooking forward to talking to you all week,
so you're copying everything. I wonderthe fact that you moving around so
much to different towns, and thepeople that you are interacting who are of
(08:30):
retirement age are very well retired.You maybe didn't have that firm contextual thing
of like, oh this is howold you are when you retire. You
either had your mum and dad andthen you had old people. And yeah,
that's because when you're young, theconcept of time and age is really
(08:52):
sort of really nothing you grasp withfirm hands because now that being the age
that I am and you are.It was ancient when I was a teenager,
but now now it's like, oh, that was like last week,
Yeah exactly. At present, Ihave twenty eight budgies, a peach face,
(09:16):
a diamond dove, five ringneck dovessix inches, and a cap which
means forty pets. I just wantedyou to have a partridge, but I
had no pear tree to put itin. I wonder if it actually was
a pear tree. And here's aquestion, here's a question for visitors on
our Instagram. Do partridges actually likepears? Because that would be the ultimate
(09:39):
irony, is that pears are partridgesare allergic to pears and it would be
poisonous. And maybe there's some deepmixed metaphor into that song. Partridges even
tree dwelling birds or are they likeground birds like pheasants and stuff? Maybe
(10:00):
they get happy in trees. I'mglad to see people can't see it because
they're not on video. I sawin the back of your eyes. You're
like, oh, I get thatone. That's made my week. You're
like, really a partridge joke.Yeah, i'll pay that well done.
Good job, a bit of apity good job, but that's fine.
(10:22):
The finches have laid heaps of eggs, so hopefully i'll have lots of baby
finches soon. The budgies have stoppedbreeding for a while, thank goodness.
I'll have to get a couple ofgreen ones to add more color to the
avery. Okay, so you aregetting a menagerie? Yes, mostly birds.
(10:43):
Yeah, blue is going well.That is my budget that I have
inside. He imitates all kinds ofbirds and other noises, and he says
heaps of stuff like give us akiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
cockeye on a scratch, Hello,thank you here, kitty kitty, sausages
(11:05):
for tea and good night. Ithink that's a pretty good vocabulary for a
budgie that isn't even a year oldyet he's so cute. I want a
partridge in a petrie. I meanI wanted a sausages. Sorry, what
about partridge sausages? Okay, okay, I don't know a little bit gaming,
(11:31):
A little bit gaming as for asfor tally, that's my peach face?
What are you looking? So youjust got a peach face. So
why just one peach face? Don'tyou have to have pears or no?
Because I hand read him, remembermm hmm yeah, okay. Yeah.
(11:52):
As for Tally, I still don'tknow his sex, so I just call
him a hee because they were theywere not external what's the word. I
don't know. You couldn't tell fromlike you know how budgies have the different
coloreds. Here, he's got nobird bits. Yeah. The only way
(12:13):
to figure it out was to havea a kind of a surgery where they
have to make an incision and putthis little camera in and have a look
at the internal bits. Bit harsh, but ok yeah. So there was
no need for me to do thatbecause I wasn't going to breed him or
anything. So you just need toset up a little bird urinal one standing
up. Figure out he's still abit vicious, but only when he's in
(12:41):
his cage. He's still so beautiful. Whenever we let him out. He
has a bath bird baths something youhad a lot of. No, literally,
we would just turn on the tapat the kitchen sink, I like
leave it kind of running just alittle bit, and he would jump into
(13:03):
the sink and run underneath the runningwater that was his little buff It's more
like a shower. Yeah, Cleois just as lazy, naughty, sleepy,
mischievous, cute and beautiful as ever. When we light the fire,
she curls up on Mum's chair orthe fireplace rug. I especially like it
(13:24):
when she curls up in a tightlittle bawl. She looks so sweet.
She's getting fatter every day. Itsound like well cared forul birds. Yeah.
Oh, Cleo is my cap ock. Yeah. School is great.
I like everything, even maths.I especially like English, drama and history.
(13:46):
The other subjects I take music,science, citizenship, education, and
pe Pe is okay. We're doingsoccer. We don't have a proper teacher,
so everyone marks up and the gamegets stupid and expectations are high and
(14:07):
you're considering you just finished dating aYeah, I wish we didn't have to
wear a uniform. I always can'twait for free dress day. I like
the locker system, though I'm stillgoing to share a locker with Deborah.
The only thing I really hate astupid great assemblies. They are boring and
(14:28):
dumb. Mister Underwood doesn't talk loudenough, and the kids never shut up,
and we usually go over time intorecess. It's usually the big note
kids who get us kept in.Okay, yeah, So was your school
quite big or was it smallsh abouta thousand kids? Okay? Yeah?
(14:50):
High school, high school, preschoolor just high school? Just high school
eight to twelve? Okay. Yeah. See the school I went to,
we had fifty fifty six kids inour grade twelve class. Okay, yeah,
this was averaged around about two hundredper grade. We had seven hundred
kids in the whole school. Yeah, that was great. That was prepped
(15:15):
to grade twelve. Oh okay,I thought you meant just I s queer.
That's not pretty small. It waspretty small. Bigger now, but
I've been out of school for solong. It says with creaking bones,
you're old, fay, I am, I'm older than you. What do
I say? Yeah, but you'reyou're younger, you have more spark.
(15:39):
The spark hasn't been taken out ofyou saying I'm immature. No, I'm
saying spark. I said, nosuch words. You're honor Later, Sean
Sellers and Ricky just dropped around tosay hello. So they were the American
(16:00):
Yes, yeah, they were thetwenty five year olds hanging around with the
young kids that youth cap. Iwas supposed to have ARI at school yesterday,
Damn me for being sick. Sothey were also involved in the ARI
program at our school, which whenyou look back at it now, it's
like, wow, that's a religiouseducation in primary school and high school at
(16:27):
a state school. Was this astate school or was this it was state
school. It was opt in,like, it wasn't mandatory. But even
then you look back at it,you go, oh, that's an interesting
thing. Yes, because the useof funds because there would have been a
class room and stuff. So yeah, I wrote a letter to Kimberly and
(16:52):
Sean is giving it to her becausethey lived with Kimberley's family. So this
letter, it's about me and Deborah. I'll probably ring Deborah after dinner.
Then I'll watch Full House. Clintjust came in. That was my brother's
(17:14):
friend who's boarding with us. He'sso weird. Yes, how long do
you fall in love with Clint?Spoiler it does not happen? Ill,
Well, that's a turn for thebooks. Absolutely no interest. That's your
red night Shamlain twist of this episodeA boy I didn't though he was too
(17:41):
much like a brother. Well,he didn't stop you with other people,
so Clint just came in. He'sso weird. I hope he and Julie
go out together. They would beperfect. Okay, Okay, I can't
wait to have kids, all right, they are so cute. I think
(18:04):
I'll have four or five and I'llname them Harley, Trey, Rachelle,
Mischa and Manette excellent. Hey,Manette is a bit of a look to
allow manettes out there. Love youvery good. But like Manette is,
(18:26):
it's one of those names where it'skind of in between two other words which
should exist. Yeah, is thata nickname? Is? Yeah? It
was actually Cleo's middle name because inbranch it means little kitten. Okay,
yeah, so you would have namedyour kid after your cat? Yeah pretty
(18:51):
much. I know. I knowyou would have. So I didn't have
four or five kids, and Ididn't name my children any of those names
either. True. True. Well, I'll go now and write more tomorrow,
See you later, diary. Andthis is still the rule. This
(19:15):
isn't the smash Hits day one,is it? This is the one?
This is back to the regular one. Yeah. Yeah, Thursday July the
twelfth, nineteen ninety Dear Diary,I've still got this dang blasted cold.
But I went to school. Itwas total bull what Carol and Natasha said
(19:38):
to me about Deborah. Ah,that's hard, that's pretty harsh, total
bull Yep. So Deborah and Iare still best friends, excellent, very
good. Natasha is jealous. Shethought I was going to be her best
friend. So this is sabotage.Mm hmm. Okay, well, I'll
(20:03):
not to blow you up too much, but that's a little feather in your
cap. You're like, you've gotpeople doing espionage to try and get your
to get your friendship. I'm like, oh dah, don't I feel special
now being I beat them all out? Hah. So I don't know if
I go into I don't think Igo into it. But basically, so
(20:25):
you remember, Carol had a crushon Chad m and Natasha had always wanted
to be friends with Deborah and IM. So, just for our listeners,
when I go mm hmm, youknow that, I'm just going yes,
because if I got her to tryand explain again what this whole thing was,
(20:47):
we'd restart the podcast. So I'mgoing yes, she's saying it with
translates to she's saying it with theconfidence that she knows what she's talking about,
and I'm just holding on for deal. Yeah. Well it turned out
that Carol and Natasha had kind ofengineered this whole thing more conspiracy. Yeah.
(21:11):
So that, well, Carol justhard to be in her bonnet because
I went out with the guy thatshe had a crush on, m M,
even though he had no interest inher. Still though I didn't know
she had a crush on him whenI started going out with him though,
And Natasha had always wanted to befriends with either me or Deborah. So
(21:33):
it was like, well, let'sbreak up bestie and Deborah, and then
Natasha can have me as her bestfriend and then Carol can just feel good
because I'm upset. It's very macavilion, which is my favorite word of Macavelien.
That was basically why they did it, Okay, just to be bitches.
(21:56):
Basically, well, no, theywanted to get close to you,
Carol, didn't. She wanted meto be hurting like she was. Okay,
and for those playing at home,we have the best potential for a
pair tree sitting partridge. Partridge wasa generic term. The reply applied to
(22:21):
lots of different birds, but thebest potential is the California quail often substituted
in for partridges in the Twelve Daysartwork, plus the quail roofs and many
kinds of trees, and they oftenuse high perchaes for calling and assessing danger.
So there you go, amazing.But there's like six or seven other
(22:44):
categories, and they go potential forbeing the one, and there's one that
just goes no, they don't sitin trees. That's seven paragraphs and potential.
No. No. I like Chadand Jeremy again, so he double
teamy. Chad decided he doesn't likethat girl he met at soccer trials anymore,
(23:11):
so maybe I might be able togo out with him again. Okay,
I know I'll never be able togo out with Jeremy. That's Jeremy
Bruce. He's going back to Bridgetonon Monday. So let's hope I forget
all about him because he was outof school and in his first year of
(23:34):
university, okay, in a differenttown, studying law. Interest. Now
on to Saturday, July fourteen,nineteen ninety Are you still skating on Saturdays
regularly. I I'm not sure.Remember I said that I was taking a
(24:00):
break from it because I kind ofstarted to feel obligated to go rather than
wanting to go. Yes, SoI don't know, dear Diary. I
had the most terrific dream. Irode my bike down this street called Ida
Street. There was this house downthe end, like Kimberly's, except there
(24:22):
were stairs on the side and nofence. The song Electric Blue by Ice
House was playing. And who shouldbe sitting there but River Phoenix? Okay,
please you know, yeah, fine, go crack but Phoenix, Okay
(24:45):
Phoenix. I thought it was stingduring the dream, but when I woke
up, I realized who it reallywas. He was sitting on the stairs,
and I went over and sat withhim. I was going out with
him. I ran my hand downthe side of it his face, it
was a little bit rough. Thenhe kissed me. It was the most
amazing and gorgeous and fantastic and incredibledream anyone could ever have. When did
(25:12):
he kill himself? He did trugoverdose tomato tomato. No, it was
it's like another year or two.Yeah, yeah, not suggesting that you
were the cause of this it justactually what sounded like. I'm just wondering
(25:34):
the proximity to his death, whetherhe was playing on your mind. I
think it's because I was so movieNo, because I was so into the
movie stand by Me. Okay,yeah, all right, Monday, July
sixteenth, nineteen ninety, Dear Diary, I'm yearn for something males in capital
(26:03):
letters, postman or m A.L. E. S Okay, Yes,
So we're moving into your horny facewith desperation phase. Did you know
that Corey Feldman is nineteen today andhe was in Gremlins? Hmm and only
(26:30):
just figured that out. Well,you couldn't just look up these things on
IMDb back then, that's true.Yeah. Ah, the Internet, the
burgeoning Internet was around, but wedidn't have it. River Phoenix, Keifer
(26:51):
Sutherland, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Rob Low, Patrick Swayzee. I
am in boys Heaven just looking atmy bedroom walls. Ah, so you've
got the horny the horns. Okay. Do you know what's sad is that
out of those six people, threeof them are dead. I wouldn't say
(27:15):
sad, just well because Rimer,Phoenix, and Corey Haym were both quite
young when they died and Patrick Swayzewasn't really that old either, true.
Hmmm, sad. I wonder ifCorey Feldman is spending his nineteenth birthday in
prison on drug chargers. Probably Okay, he's still a honey though. Okay,
(27:45):
whatever works in your dream. Yeah. Now there's a little bit of
a skip an entire month a normalthing, or do you reckon there's something
that caused it. Well, there'sa little bit of an explanation. Okay,
(28:07):
So it's now Thursday, August thesixteenth, nineteen ninety Dear Diary.
Sorry, I haven't written for overa month, but at the moment,
I'm so busy with the musical.It's okay, yep, so lots of
rehearsals as well as trying to keepup with school and boys. Yeah,
(28:30):
and guess who I like? Nowthat's been the wheel. Benjamin Hall new
name your character. He's playing somelead roles in the musical. He's so
cute and funny and he talks tome. Can I swear just once?
(28:53):
Yeah? Please? You're a stafffucker. You're a desperate starfucker. Not just
like. There's this nice guy whois working audio and he's really great he's
like the leader of the player.Gimme ah, well, well I couldn't
fall in love with the main mainlead because that was played by my brother.
(29:18):
Okay, yep, but still allright, let's let's move on before.
My standards are pretty low though,because I just said he talks to
me. That's like one of themain selling points. Well, that's the
thing. If we had met whenyou were younger, I were younger,
(29:40):
I'm like, hi, ah,okay, well yeah, so I like
Benjamin Hall and I also don't mindKevin Samson, Kenneth Campbell, Stephen Bourne,
Michael Seaton, Bradley Lamont, SandyCraig Seppelt, and the Griffin boy
with the blonde hair. I loveyou with all my heart. I really
(30:03):
do. And you know this.It has been well documented how much I
love you. But in the juxtapositionof you being shocked several weeks ago that
one person would say how you gotwith one hundred and seventy two blokes in
one night, seven hundred and fifty, seven hundred and fifty two Yet you
just rattled off half football team.Oh they'll do in a pinch. Oh
(30:29):
yeah, I've got to spare tenminutes have a crack. You remember that,
all thrown together for this musical,suddenly spending a lot of time around
people that wouldn't normally spend a lotof time with, and you know,
yeah, well, all this exposureto these boys living out the dream of
(30:49):
just being the young actress there andcatching the eye of one of the stars
and then swept up and then suddenlyyou're understudy for one of the female leads,
and then they break a leg,and then somebody swept into the lead
role and it's opening night and it'sfantastic. There's so much to tell you.
(31:11):
Okay, let me get comfortable.Yeah, you better. Kevin dropped
Christine for Deborah. Yay, Deborah. Remember Kevin and Debra used to go
out, Yes, I remember thatone. Then it was hockey camp and
she was a bit worried because hisex girlfriend, Christine was going to be
(31:32):
a hockey camp. He had somehigh stick problems. Yes, I'm guessing
he ended up back with Christine,but now he's dumped Christine and he wants
Deborah again. I just wanted toshout out to all my old high school
hockey players there who got my highstick innuendo out to you very good.
(31:52):
Kevin dropped Christine for Deborah, butDebra likes Chad, but she doesn't want
to hurt Kevin. So she's tryingto get me to go out with him,
but I don't want to. Yeah, because you like Chad as well.
I mean it's okay, yep.Chad dropped Lara and she's pretending she
(32:15):
doesn't care, but you can tellshe does. Now Debra thinks she has
a chance with Chad, but personallyI don't like her chances. That would
cause conflict between you and her becauseyou like Chad. Yeah, so that's
one thing. There's heaps to goyet. Okay, you have seriously leaning
(32:43):
back. I've moved the microphone.I'm having a little relax here. It
would have been rather than pseudonyms,it would have just been easier to give
them participation numbers like seven is sixand six is nineteen. Yeah, maybe
for the next season we can oreven colors. Blue likes her and she
(33:07):
likes Red. But all well,and then Peace came along. Peace It's
like, oh, what is it? It's a mixture of a little bit
pink, a little bit Oh,look that up. Santa calls the movie
one of my favorite all times moviesprobably top three. H John with Gow
John with Go. When they they'redeveloping the Dudley Moore and they're developing the
(33:31):
color of the of the Flying Candy, they said, puce pece, that's
where I let the pews from.Oh see, Stephen Vaughn and Virginia Rowland
are going out and have been sinceyesterday. Stephen is so nice. He
says good ay to me all thetime. Benjamin does too. Bradley is
(33:53):
so funny. He helped me hideCraig's headband. Kenneth Campbell is after Peter
Feldman. Speaking of Kenneth, hemade seven knife marks in the wall of
the boy's dressing room with his flickknife. Amah, he keeps winking at
me all the time. I've turnedinto the biggest flirt. I love guys
(34:20):
as opposed to I like how Isaid, I've turned into the biggest flirt,
like I wasn't already. Ah,I don't know. I am treading
carefully along this cliff face. Sohm hmm. Well later later there's more
(34:45):
like Laura in ordersting like ding ding, Yes, perfect, I think maybe
I like Sandy. I'm just soconfused at the moment. Mike, Jeremy
and Clint know about Benjamin, andMike reckons he's going to tell him,
(35:06):
but he better not. I don'tknow. I like so many guys,
it's not funny anymore. I think, Benjamin, have you considered a short
spurt of mild lesbianism. I don'tthink so. I'm just going to say,
like, you're going through all thedies, and I'm like, I'm
worried you're going to run out.Your doughry's going to be empty for a
couple of years. There are afew more high schools in the town that
(35:30):
I could pimp my photo around andreminding everyone that, yes, in fact,
you did get one of your friendsto pimp you around at another high
school with your photo. It worked, so you know there's a few more.
Again. Walking that cliff very carefullyright now, because I was about
to say something, I was like, oh, that's a bit harsh.
(35:52):
But yeah, I think Benjamin andSandy are the two are like the most,
though tomorrow I'll probably think different.Okay later still the same day,
Okay, Hannah told Benjamin he goes, God, I'm old enough to be
(36:14):
her father. Okay, not quite. He was like three years older than
me, I think still. Hannahsaid, well, and he said if
I were around fifteen, definitely,China, let me down gently. It's
(36:36):
still in the statutory rate type ofthing. If he's seventeen eighteen and you're
fifteen, no, And if hewere fifteen, yeah. No. That's
what I'm basically saying, is like, it's still not great when yeah,
if I was a little bit morelegal, i'd have a crack. I
don't think he really meant it.He was probably just trying to be kind
(36:58):
instead of going no way. Butthe truth is, I, like Sandy,
only three people know me, Godand you Diary. Okay, So
are we settling on this person orshould I wait for the morning where it
(37:20):
could be someone else. Remember hisname for a little bit, I'll write
it down on the board. Yep. I couldn't stop coughing tonight and I
had to sit backstage during act twoand he came and sat next to me
and cheered me up. At leastI know he cares about me. I'm
writing a note to him that says, Sandy, thanks for cheering me up
(37:45):
last night. I owe you onegood luck for tonight. That's nice.
Yeah. So that was what dayof the week. That was Thursday,
So the musicalerformances were Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, and
(38:07):
then we did a matinee on theThursday. So five performances. Okay together,
yep A. Now we skip fromThursday the August the sixteenth Tuesday,
August the twenty first, nineteen ninetyso most of musical week. Dear Diary,
(38:30):
I'm at home sick still, andI do remember I really was quite
ill, and I had to getlike bronchitis medication and stuff, and I
had to sit out a few performancesbecause I was coughing so much I couldn't
(38:52):
sing anyway, and distracted exactly.The cardinal came a week early. But
that's the least of my worries,cardinal being a euphemism for period. I
gathered, Kevin and Deborah are goingout like you. We like this.
(39:19):
This is a Kevin and Deborah.We're happy for Deborah. We want Deborah
to have that happiness. But thething is, you don't sound too confident
about it. Well, deb stilllikes Chad. Don't tell anyone or I'm
dead. I promise I won't.The word is half out about me and
(39:45):
Sandy. I told Deborah first,of course, and she said she wouldn't
tell as long as I didn't sayanything about Chad. I also told Mike.
I doubt he'll say anything, butI can't be too sure. You
know what he's like. Yes,we all know what Mike's like. I
(40:07):
didn't know Mike back then, andI knew what Mike was like back then.
Plus Sandy's one of his good friends, so even if Mike didn't know
Sandy, it still would have been. I mean, there's a reason that
Asio looked at Mike and went,yeah, now we're good. Thanks.
(40:29):
I'm just going to trust my deepest, darket secret with the one person who
loves to share every bit of infamyeverything. I'm sure it'll be fine,
though, don't worry. We loveMike, but honestly with all the love
of my heart, and he knowsI love him. The world's biggest chatty
bitch, yes, yes, worstgossiper than me. Oh, he makes
(40:54):
a living out of it. Idid something really naughty today, excellent steeple
fingers. I was in the musicroom playing the organ when this big fat
exercise book caught my eye. Ithad We are friends, Yes, and
(41:15):
you know, I'm being very verygrown up, just skipping over the fact
you were in a hidden room playingwith an organ. I'm being very brave
and not telling you. I'm notsaying it. Not saying it. I
want you to know I'm being verybrave. Oh, such a good boy,
(41:37):
very restrained. Thank you very much. Yes, So this exercise book
had Journal seven, nineteen ninety writtenon the side. Ooh, scandalous.
So I had a pego got intoit. Oh and wham. I now
(41:58):
I know all this stuff about Clintand how Julie prick teasers, but not
with pricks, I think, asin playing around with his heart. But
he called it prick teasing. Okay, yeah, we could have had an
(42:21):
early nineties strap on situation. Andthere's a page Clint wrote when he was
crying. This is Clint's one okay, right. It didn't say exactly what
he was crying about, but I'dsay it had a lot to do with
Julie personally. I don't see howhe can like her. She can be
(42:45):
nice, but most of the timeshe's a bitch. Sorry, well,
not a big bitch, but youknow, medium sized bitch. Yeah,
Dad's being a bastard. Okay,smash bag, I didn't read the tape
measure properly and he got up me. I can't wait until he leaves on
(43:10):
Friday. Hush, it's probably goingaway for work. Rewind a week before
five six weeks ago. Gee,I wish we could spend time together together.
Fast forward five weeks. I wishour bastard would piss off a bit.
I'm making a goal, Okay,I will aim to be going out
(43:36):
with Marcus Sandy Sanderson by September ten, nineteen ninety or if need be,
September fourteen. So there after livingwith him for two weeks, I know
heaps about him. Okay, sohe came to stay at our house while
(43:57):
he was doing work experience because helived just outside of town. Yep,
was this the friend who had togo to work? And was no,
that's Clint, that's Clint. Okay, yeah, as I said Matrix,
yeah, I doubt I'll be goingto school tomorrow. I still feel really
sick. Thursday or Friday. MaybeMom says we might be going for a
(44:22):
bike ride on Sunday. That wouldbe good. The doves are making a
lot of noise when Mum went outto see to them. She said one
of the eggs was cracking, somaybe there's another cute little baby dove out
there. Anyway, I must getmy beauty sleep, so i'll write tomorrow
good night. You must have slepta lot. Oh sick, that was
(44:47):
a compliment. Ah, I getit. Yeah, okay, it worked.
Yeah. Wednesday, August twenty second, nineteen ninety, Dear Diary,
I didn't go to school. Istill feel sick and it's about four degrees
celsius out, so Mum said tostay in bed very boon. That dumb
(45:14):
music literacy assignment is due in tomorrow. I've started it. I'll finish it
later today. After this week,there are only three weeks until school finishes,
which means only three weeks till mybirthday. I don't know what to
do for my birthday. I wantto take the Kendalls, Shona, Sandy,
(45:37):
Kimberly, Mike, Mum and Dadto Lofties, but that's a lot
of people, so Lofti's is arestaurant, and I really like I might
just have to make it Rachel.I'll ask Mum about it this afternoon.
I can't believe almost a whole yearhas passed. Since I started this diary,
(45:59):
so much happened. I'd better getback to my music assignment. Actually,
I might blow my nose first.I love you, you know that.
Yeah. Later, I just sleptfor four hours. I feel really
(46:25):
off. I doubt i'll be goingto school tomorrow. I'll probably go back
Friday. But Mum said if Idon't go back tomorrow, there's no point
going Friday. Maybe that's a goodidea. I'll be completely better by Monday.
I shouldn't be anyway. She hasa very good point. Yeah,
I do remember. I really wasquite sick at musical practice last Monday,
(46:50):
so that was before performances. Ihad my school photo from nineteen eighty eight.
Deborah and I were remembering all thegreat things that happened that year.
Nineteen eighty eight was the best yearof my life. Great music, great
school, great friends. Everything wasjust so good. Deborah thinks the same.
(47:12):
Too big call, though, Yep. Well, on the weekend,
I'll have to nick down the littleold paper shop and get myself another little
old diary almost or else I'll usean old exercise book in case someone gets
me a new diary for my birthday. No, you can't have that.
(47:36):
You've got you've got to you've gotto be on song. I just thought,
how last year I liked Christian Townsand Billy Hopper. I reckon Christian
is on drugs. He talks realweird. It's scandalous. Yeah. So
(47:58):
that was Kent's older other. Okay, do you remember mm hmmm. I
wonder if he ever cried in theswimming pool with Kent. We we hold
a candle for Kent. We dowe do? We do? With my
birthday money, I'm going to buythat great terrific ho movie Dirty Dancing,
(48:22):
and maybe Flash Dance or La Bumba. Oh okay, remember when that was
a Newish movie that was like,oh fancy it was. Now it's classic
it is. Yeah, okay,anyway, I must go see you later
(48:45):
later. I just saw Razorback.It was really good. Do you remember
that movie I don't horror movie aboutthe big giant feral pig in the dry
and bush. No, sorry,you know you know me. I don't
(49:06):
like the horror films. I mean, it was pretty bad, but like
it was so bad it was good. Okay, so it's one of those
ones. Yeah, okay, wellI could probably I could probably watch it.
Yeah, you probably could, especiallythis far in the future because of
special effects, would leave a lotto be desired in comparison to modern day.
(49:29):
See what screwed me up is?There used to be a TV show
called Where And when I was young, when it was on or over a
friend's place at a party and allthe kids are in the garage and they
turned it on. That freaked me. Oh Jesus out. And yeah,
so I haven't liked scary films likethat. I don't have to look that
(49:51):
up. I don't remember that.Maybe a TV show. Yeah, I'm
going to look it up. Andso the shot with the silver bulletin,
yeah, uh, that's me.My room was such a mess, but
I tidied it up a bit,aren't you good? I am. I
(50:13):
feel really depressed. But I don'tknow why. You know how when you
bottle something up, you know,well, I feel like that, except
I've got nothing bottled up. MaybeI just need to cry. I get
like that a lot. I don'tknow why you've got a little bit boarded
up in the fact that you wantto bang everything that walls. I might
(50:36):
might just be because I'm not feelingwell. It might be hormones. Hormones.
Yeah, I wish Clint had nevermoved in. He is a big
pain. I can't wait until heand might get their own stove frigidt C.
Because I hate Clint and I wishI could see much less of him.
And that's the truth. But weused to like Clint. Mmm.
(51:04):
I wonder what he's done or notdone, namely you no, yes,
getting to that stage where you wantto bang things, not him. Yeah.
Well you say that with the definitivenessthat betrays the last twenty episodes that
we've been where anything is fair.Gay. I say this knowing full well
(51:30):
that it never went there. AndI never had any interest in him because
he's a big pain and I hatehim. But still, if the connections
were right, you just you justwish I look, I don't wish anything.
I just know you well, Iknow you now at this time.
(51:51):
No, never, I never wouldwent there. Okay, Yeah, well
you're standards, you're previous dating history. Blaze you going ooh, because you've
you've gone I like seven blokes atonce. Yeah, but there were certain
people I would just never went therewith, like Kent. Kent pops up

half bullying him. You know,it's like, yeah, you were just

me her childhood diaries or names andidentifying places have been changed to protect themselves
when the innocent and I screwed thatup and I'm getting roll through like no
one ever noticed. I'm the guilty. But we're also staying anonymous. So
if you think you know us,no you don't. Welcome back to Dora
(00:23):
my Bestie, Hello Bestie, HelloBesty. It's been a long day,
a very long day. These lastseven months have been the longest day of
my life. How are you going? I've been a bit sick, yes,
I heard you weren't feeling well oras as been you were feeling poorly
(00:47):
poorly? Yes, I don't feellike I should have a cup of tea
and maybe hold my pinky up.How are you feeling poorly? Love him?
I've been most unwell. I getthough. I'm still a bit I
was gonna say I'm still a bitchesty, but that sounds not quite right.
(01:07):
Sounds okay? Oh well, it'san audio only podcast, so yeah,
what stays in Riverside stays in Riverside, So shout out to Riverside.
Yes, thank you for taking ourmoney, yeah and making this possible work
doing it for car. When didwe when it was first podcast? I
(01:34):
don't know the one that how wemet each other? Oh, yeah,
that was you would have been twothousand and eight or no, well my
son was born in two thousand andseven and he was a toddler when we
so, yeah, but when wefirst met verse, when we first knew
(01:59):
each other, like, oh yeahin the flesh verse. Yeah, that
sounds a little bit, goes alongwith chesty. I've got I've got the
before we kick off, I've gotthe perfect joke that I've heard the other
day. Okay, I always haterunning late to the Cannibal dinner party.
I always get the cold shoulder.Do you know what the best part of
(02:23):
that joke was the rim shot?That's what she said, a little insight
into our normal conversations there. Let'sget it back to the p genius of
this relatives has it ever been pgUh? The g isn't is in denial,
(02:45):
but always never do So, howare we going? After our last
entry about we're kicking off? Thingswere happening the love affairs were coming and
going like a like a seven toeleven, so I'm interested to know what's
happening next. It was kind ofa little bit sad at the end of
(03:05):
the last episode because I'd got dumpedby Chad the soccer star and then had
a falling out with my best friend. Would you say it was a bit
of melancholy and almost infinite sands temporarilyinfinite hang on, No, that can't
be a thie temporary sadness. Well, speaking of coming and going, I've
(03:30):
got another joke. Oh dear,Okay, yesterday I try to go to
the Tobacconists to restock, but they'dchanged it with another dress store. That's
just the way it goes close.But no cigar. Come on, this
is gold. I'm bringing gold.This is the really Bad Dad Joke podcast.
(03:57):
I like those two. Okay,so yeah, my husband will appreciate
them more than me. I'm sure. Yep. I'll tell him later,
okay, yes, and you'll probablyhear them again. Yes, that's okay.
Actually, probably be more efficient justto tell him because you would have
ended up here. I'll pass themon. Cool. Let's kick off,
(04:20):
all right, and we are kickingoff on Wednesday, July the eleventh,
nineteen ninety. Dear Diary, todayI feel even worse. My throat is
still sore, though not as soreas yesterday. My nose is running,
(04:41):
and my whole body aches. Yeah. Oh well, midwinter, so more
likely just gems from people at school. The stress wouldn't have helped. No,
it wouldn't have. So I'm stayinghome. I wish I felt better
so I could go to school andtalk to Deborah. Mhm, but just
(05:05):
to refresh, are you friends?Is Deborah on the outer because wasn't there
that whole thing of Natasha had toldme some things that she said that Deborah
told her. Did we ever resolvethat? Or is that to be?
Yeah? That's yeah, that's whyI wanted to Okay, See, it's
sometimes hard to keep the tendrils allin a straight line. Yes, there
(05:28):
are so many tendrils. Yes,yes, so much tendrils hen Tai.
People look at it and go,well, so down. That was quality
and off the top of my head, amazing. All right, I'm not
going to Bible study tonight either.Oh well, at least I'll get to
(05:51):
watch Full House. And given thehistory of Cameron, I Candice Cameron.
Yeah, it kind of was Biblestudy. Yeah yeah, a bit controversial
that girly I'd say, cringe morethan controversial, Like the hen tie,
(06:15):
it's well settle down. Sometimes it'shard to tell whether our family is growing
closer together or whether each person istrying to go a separate way. It
mostly seems like we're getting closer.Dad hardly yells, I haven't had a
properfy it with Mum or Mike inages. I wish we did more things
(06:39):
together, but since Mum works Saturdaymorning, Mike works Saturday and Sunday afternoon,
and church goes to twelve and Sunday, it's a bit hard. Maybe
when Mum and Dada retired, we'llfind a weekend when all of us are
free and go somewhere. Sounds good, doesn't it? Without being too far
(07:00):
under the surface. Is the aspirationmore than the reality is? Like,
if you had that opportunity, doyou think you would have gone and done
more stuff together or were you justso ingrained in your tracks that that's the
groove that you guys had found andyou were just doing it. I think
with my brother and I now bothteenagers, it was just the natural progression
(07:27):
of kids starting to separate from theirparents and wanting to do their own thing.
Yeah, because the context is Mike'sgetting to that age where having his
little sister around all the time startsto become a social anchor. Yeah.
Yeah, especially in such a smalltown. Yeah. I do like though
(07:48):
that I'm talking about my parents retiringand they're only in their early forties here.
You got to, as you andI have, being of ages around
that time. I'm sure our kidsthink of us as so old that we're
going to retire ancient. And Iwant, actually, I wonder if it's
(08:09):
a contextual side going on side Benzieall the time, because it's been that
kind of week and I'm I've beenlooking forward to talking to you all week,
so you're copying everything. I wonderthe fact that you moving around so
much to different towns, and thepeople that you are interacting who are of
(08:30):
retirement age are very well retired.You maybe didn't have that firm contextual thing
of like, oh this is howold you are when you retire. You
either had your mum and dad andthen you had old people. And yeah,
that's because when you're young, theconcept of time and age is really
(08:52):
sort of really nothing you grasp withfirm hands because now that being the age
that I am and you are.It was ancient when I was a teenager,
but now now it's like, oh, that was like last week,
Yeah exactly. At present, Ihave twenty eight budgies, a peach face,
(09:16):
a diamond dove, five ringneck dovessix inches, and a cap which
means forty pets. I just wantedyou to have a partridge, but I
had no pear tree to put itin. I wonder if it actually was
a pear tree. And here's aquestion, here's a question for visitors on
our Instagram. Do partridges actually likepears? Because that would be the ultimate
(09:39):
irony, is that pears are partridgesare allergic to pears and it would be
poisonous. And maybe there's some deepmixed metaphor into that song. Partridges even
tree dwelling birds or are they likeground birds like pheasants and stuff? Maybe
(10:00):
they get happy in trees. I'mglad to see people can't see it because
they're not on video. I sawin the back of your eyes. You're
like, oh, I get thatone. That's made my week. You're
like, really a partridge joke.Yeah, i'll pay that well done.
Good job, a bit of apity good job, but that's fine.
(10:22):
The finches have laid heaps of eggs, so hopefully i'll have lots of baby
finches soon. The budgies have stoppedbreeding for a while, thank goodness.
I'll have to get a couple ofgreen ones to add more color to the
avery. Okay, so you aregetting a menagerie? Yes, mostly birds.
(10:43):
Yeah, blue is going well.That is my budget that I have
inside. He imitates all kinds ofbirds and other noises, and he says
heaps of stuff like give us akiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
cockeye on a scratch, Hello,thank you here, kitty kitty, sausages
(11:05):
for tea and good night. Ithink that's a pretty good vocabulary for a
budgie that isn't even a year oldyet he's so cute. I want a
partridge in a petrie. I meanI wanted a sausages. Sorry, what
about partridge sausages? Okay, okay, I don't know a little bit gaming,
(11:31):
A little bit gaming as for asfor tally, that's my peach face?
What are you looking? So youjust got a peach face. So
why just one peach face? Don'tyou have to have pears or no?
Because I hand read him, remembermm hmm yeah, okay. Yeah.
(11:52):
As for Tally, I still don'tknow his sex, so I just call
him a hee because they were theywere not external what's the word. I
don't know. You couldn't tell fromlike you know how budgies have the different
coloreds. Here, he's got nobird bits. Yeah. The only way
(12:13):
to figure it out was to havea a kind of a surgery where they
have to make an incision and putthis little camera in and have a look
at the internal bits. Bit harsh, but ok yeah. So there was
no need for me to do thatbecause I wasn't going to breed him or
anything. So you just need toset up a little bird urinal one standing
up. Figure out he's still abit vicious, but only when he's in
(12:41):
his cage. He's still so beautiful. Whenever we let him out. He
has a bath bird baths something youhad a lot of. No, literally,
we would just turn on the tapat the kitchen sink, I like
leave it kind of running just alittle bit, and he would jump into
(13:03):
the sink and run underneath the runningwater that was his little buff It's more
like a shower. Yeah, Cleois just as lazy, naughty, sleepy,
mischievous, cute and beautiful as ever. When we light the fire,
she curls up on Mum's chair orthe fireplace rug. I especially like it
(13:24):
when she curls up in a tightlittle bawl. She looks so sweet.
She's getting fatter every day. Itsound like well cared forul birds. Yeah.
Oh, Cleo is my cap ock. Yeah. School is great.
I like everything, even maths.I especially like English, drama and history.
(13:46):
The other subjects I take music,science, citizenship, education, and
pe Pe is okay. We're doingsoccer. We don't have a proper teacher,
so everyone marks up and the gamegets stupid and expectations are high and
(14:07):
you're considering you just finished dating aYeah, I wish we didn't have to
wear a uniform. I always can'twait for free dress day. I like
the locker system, though I'm stillgoing to share a locker with Deborah.
The only thing I really hate astupid great assemblies. They are boring and
(14:28):
dumb. Mister Underwood doesn't talk loudenough, and the kids never shut up,
and we usually go over time intorecess. It's usually the big note
kids who get us kept in.Okay, yeah, So was your school
quite big or was it smallsh abouta thousand kids? Okay? Yeah?
(14:50):
High school, high school, preschoolor just high school? Just high school
eight to twelve? Okay. Yeah. See the school I went to,
we had fifty fifty six kids inour grade twelve class. Okay, yeah,
this was averaged around about two hundredper grade. We had seven hundred
kids in the whole school. Yeah, that was great. That was prepped
(15:15):
to grade twelve. Oh okay,I thought you meant just I s queer.
That's not pretty small. It waspretty small. Bigger now, but
I've been out of school for solong. It says with creaking bones,
you're old, fay, I am, I'm older than you. What do
I say? Yeah, but you'reyou're younger, you have more spark.
(15:39):
The spark hasn't been taken out ofyou saying I'm immature. No, I'm
saying spark. I said, nosuch words. You're honor Later, Sean
Sellers and Ricky just dropped around tosay hello. So they were the American
(16:00):
Yes, yeah, they were thetwenty five year olds hanging around with the
young kids that youth cap. Iwas supposed to have ARI at school yesterday,
Damn me for being sick. Sothey were also involved in the ARI
program at our school, which whenyou look back at it now, it's
like, wow, that's a religiouseducation in primary school and high school at
(16:27):
a state school. Was this astate school or was this it was state
school. It was opt in,like, it wasn't mandatory. But even
then you look back at it,you go, oh, that's an interesting
thing. Yes, because the useof funds because there would have been a
class room and stuff. So yeah, I wrote a letter to Kimberly and
(16:52):
Sean is giving it to her becausethey lived with Kimberley's family. So this
letter, it's about me and Deborah. I'll probably ring Deborah after dinner.
Then I'll watch Full House. Clintjust came in. That was my brother's
(17:14):
friend who's boarding with us. He'sso weird. Yes, how long do
you fall in love with Clint?Spoiler it does not happen? Ill,
Well, that's a turn for thebooks. Absolutely no interest. That's your
red night Shamlain twist of this episodeA boy I didn't though he was too
(17:41):
much like a brother. Well,he didn't stop you with other people,
so Clint just came in. He'sso weird. I hope he and Julie
go out together. They would beperfect. Okay, Okay, I can't
wait to have kids, all right, they are so cute. I think
(18:04):
I'll have four or five and I'llname them Harley, Trey, Rachelle,
Mischa and Manette excellent. Hey,Manette is a bit of a look to
allow manettes out there. Love youvery good. But like Manette is,
(18:26):
it's one of those names where it'skind of in between two other words which
should exist. Yeah, is thata nickname? Is? Yeah? It
was actually Cleo's middle name because inbranch it means little kitten. Okay,
yeah, so you would have namedyour kid after your cat? Yeah pretty
(18:51):
much. I know. I knowyou would have. So I didn't have
four or five kids, and Ididn't name my children any of those names
either. True. True. Well, I'll go now and write more tomorrow,
See you later, diary. Andthis is still the rule. This
(19:15):
isn't the smash Hits day one,is it? This is the one?
This is back to the regular one. Yeah. Yeah, Thursday July the
twelfth, nineteen ninety Dear Diary,I've still got this dang blasted cold.
But I went to school. Itwas total bull what Carol and Natasha said
(19:38):
to me about Deborah. Ah,that's hard, that's pretty harsh, total
bull Yep. So Deborah and Iare still best friends, excellent, very
good. Natasha is jealous. Shethought I was going to be her best
friend. So this is sabotage.Mm hmm. Okay, well, I'll
(20:03):
not to blow you up too much, but that's a little feather in your
cap. You're like, you've gotpeople doing espionage to try and get your
to get your friendship. I'm like, oh dah, don't I feel special
now being I beat them all out? Hah. So I don't know if
I go into I don't think Igo into it. But basically, so
(20:25):
you remember, Carol had a crushon Chad m and Natasha had always wanted
to be friends with Deborah and IM. So, just for our listeners,
when I go mm hmm, youknow that, I'm just going yes,
because if I got her to tryand explain again what this whole thing was,
(20:47):
we'd restart the podcast. So I'mgoing yes, she's saying it with
translates to she's saying it with theconfidence that she knows what she's talking about,
and I'm just holding on for deal. Yeah. Well it turned out
that Carol and Natasha had kind ofengineered this whole thing more conspiracy. Yeah.
(21:11):
So that, well, Carol justhard to be in her bonnet because
I went out with the guy thatshe had a crush on, m M,
even though he had no interest inher. Still though I didn't know
she had a crush on him whenI started going out with him though,
And Natasha had always wanted to befriends with either me or Deborah. So
(21:33):
it was like, well, let'sbreak up bestie and Deborah, and then
Natasha can have me as her bestfriend and then Carol can just feel good
because I'm upset. It's very macavilion, which is my favorite word of Macavelien.
That was basically why they did it, Okay, just to be bitches.
(21:56):
Basically, well, no, theywanted to get close to you,
Carol, didn't. She wanted meto be hurting like she was. Okay,
and for those playing at home,we have the best potential for a
pair tree sitting partridge. Partridge wasa generic term. The reply applied to
(22:21):
lots of different birds, but thebest potential is the California quail often substituted
in for partridges in the Twelve Daysartwork, plus the quail roofs and many
kinds of trees, and they oftenuse high perchaes for calling and assessing danger.
So there you go, amazing.But there's like six or seven other
(22:44):
categories, and they go potential forbeing the one, and there's one that
just goes no, they don't sitin trees. That's seven paragraphs and potential.
No. No. I like Chadand Jeremy again, so he double
teamy. Chad decided he doesn't likethat girl he met at soccer trials anymore,
(23:11):
so maybe I might be able togo out with him again. Okay,
I know I'll never be able togo out with Jeremy. That's Jeremy
Bruce. He's going back to Bridgetonon Monday. So let's hope I forget
all about him because he was outof school and in his first year of
(23:34):
university, okay, in a differenttown, studying law. Interest. Now
on to Saturday, July fourteen,nineteen ninety Are you still skating on Saturdays
regularly. I I'm not sure.Remember I said that I was taking a
(24:00):
break from it because I kind ofstarted to feel obligated to go rather than
wanting to go. Yes, SoI don't know, dear Diary. I
had the most terrific dream. Irode my bike down this street called Ida
Street. There was this house downthe end, like Kimberly's, except there
(24:22):
were stairs on the side and nofence. The song Electric Blue by Ice
House was playing. And who shouldbe sitting there but River Phoenix? Okay,
please you know, yeah, fine, go crack but Phoenix, Okay
(24:45):
Phoenix. I thought it was stingduring the dream, but when I woke
up, I realized who it reallywas. He was sitting on the stairs,
and I went over and sat withhim. I was going out with
him. I ran my hand downthe side of it his face, it
was a little bit rough. Thenhe kissed me. It was the most
amazing and gorgeous and fantastic and incredibledream anyone could ever have. When did
(25:12):
he kill himself? He did trugoverdose tomato tomato. No, it was
it's like another year or two.Yeah, yeah, not suggesting that you
were the cause of this it justactually what sounded like. I'm just wondering
(25:34):
the proximity to his death, whetherhe was playing on your mind. I
think it's because I was so movieNo, because I was so into the
movie stand by Me. Okay,yeah, all right, Monday, July
sixteenth, nineteen ninety, Dear Diary, I'm yearn for something males in capital
(26:03):
letters, postman or m A.L. E. S Okay, Yes,
So we're moving into your horny facewith desperation phase. Did you know
that Corey Feldman is nineteen today andhe was in Gremlins? Hmm and only
(26:30):
just figured that out. Well,you couldn't just look up these things on
IMDb back then, that's true.Yeah. Ah, the Internet, the
burgeoning Internet was around, but wedidn't have it. River Phoenix, Keifer
(26:51):
Sutherland, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Rob Low, Patrick Swayzee. I
am in boys Heaven just looking atmy bedroom walls. Ah, so you've
got the horny the horns. Okay. Do you know what's sad is that
out of those six people, threeof them are dead. I wouldn't say
(27:15):
sad, just well because Rimer,Phoenix, and Corey Haym were both quite
young when they died and Patrick Swayzewasn't really that old either, true.
Hmmm, sad. I wonder ifCorey Feldman is spending his nineteenth birthday in
prison on drug chargers. Probably Okay, he's still a honey though. Okay,
(27:45):
whatever works in your dream. Yeah. Now there's a little bit of
a skip an entire month a normalthing, or do you reckon there's something
that caused it. Well, there'sa little bit of an explanation. Okay,
(28:07):
So it's now Thursday, August thesixteenth, nineteen ninety Dear Diary.
Sorry, I haven't written for overa month, but at the moment,
I'm so busy with the musical.It's okay, yep, so lots of
rehearsals as well as trying to keepup with school and boys. Yeah,
(28:30):
and guess who I like? Nowthat's been the wheel. Benjamin Hall new
name your character. He's playing somelead roles in the musical. He's so
cute and funny and he talks tome. Can I swear just once?
(28:53):
Yeah? Please? You're a stafffucker. You're a desperate starfucker. Not just
like. There's this nice guy whois working audio and he's really great he's
like the leader of the player.Gimme ah, well, well I couldn't
fall in love with the main mainlead because that was played by my brother.
(29:18):
Okay, yep, but still allright, let's let's move on before.
My standards are pretty low though,because I just said he talks to
me. That's like one of themain selling points. Well, that's the
thing. If we had met whenyou were younger, I were younger,
(29:40):
I'm like, hi, ah,okay, well yeah, so I like
Benjamin Hall and I also don't mindKevin Samson, Kenneth Campbell, Stephen Bourne,
Michael Seaton, Bradley Lamont, SandyCraig Seppelt, and the Griffin boy
with the blonde hair. I loveyou with all my heart. I really
(30:03):
do. And you know this.It has been well documented how much I
love you. But in the juxtapositionof you being shocked several weeks ago that
one person would say how you gotwith one hundred and seventy two blokes in
one night, seven hundred and fifty, seven hundred and fifty two Yet you
just rattled off half football team.Oh they'll do in a pinch. Oh
(30:29):
yeah, I've got to spare tenminutes have a crack. You remember that,
all thrown together for this musical,suddenly spending a lot of time around
people that wouldn't normally spend a lotof time with, and you know,
yeah, well, all this exposureto these boys living out the dream of
(30:49):
just being the young actress there andcatching the eye of one of the stars
and then swept up and then suddenlyyou're understudy for one of the female leads,
and then they break a leg,and then somebody swept into the lead
role and it's opening night and it'sfantastic. There's so much to tell you.
(31:11):
Okay, let me get comfortable.Yeah, you better. Kevin dropped
Christine for Deborah. Yay, Deborah. Remember Kevin and Debra used to go
out, Yes, I remember thatone. Then it was hockey camp and
she was a bit worried because hisex girlfriend, Christine was going to be
(31:32):
a hockey camp. He had somehigh stick problems. Yes, I'm guessing
he ended up back with Christine,but now he's dumped Christine and he wants
Deborah again. I just wanted toshout out to all my old high school
hockey players there who got my highstick innuendo out to you very good.
(31:52):
Kevin dropped Christine for Deborah, butDebra likes Chad, but she doesn't want
to hurt Kevin. So she's tryingto get me to go out with him,
but I don't want to. Yeah, because you like Chad as well.
I mean it's okay, yep.Chad dropped Lara and she's pretending she
(32:15):
doesn't care, but you can tellshe does. Now Debra thinks she has
a chance with Chad, but personallyI don't like her chances. That would
cause conflict between you and her becauseyou like Chad. Yeah, so that's
one thing. There's heaps to goyet. Okay, you have seriously leaning
(32:43):
back. I've moved the microphone.I'm having a little relax here. It
would have been rather than pseudonyms,it would have just been easier to give
them participation numbers like seven is sixand six is nineteen. Yeah, maybe
for the next season we can oreven colors. Blue likes her and she
(33:07):
likes Red. But all well,and then Peace came along. Peace It's
like, oh, what is it? It's a mixture of a little bit
pink, a little bit Oh,look that up. Santa calls the movie
one of my favorite all times moviesprobably top three. H John with Gow
John with Go. When they they'redeveloping the Dudley Moore and they're developing the
(33:31):
color of the of the Flying Candy, they said, puce pece, that's
where I let the pews from.Oh see, Stephen Vaughn and Virginia Rowland
are going out and have been sinceyesterday. Stephen is so nice. He
says good ay to me all thetime. Benjamin does too. Bradley is
(33:53):
so funny. He helped me hideCraig's headband. Kenneth Campbell is after Peter
Feldman. Speaking of Kenneth, hemade seven knife marks in the wall of
the boy's dressing room with his flickknife. Amah, he keeps winking at
me all the time. I've turnedinto the biggest flirt. I love guys
(34:20):
as opposed to I like how Isaid, I've turned into the biggest flirt,
like I wasn't already. Ah,I don't know. I am treading
carefully along this cliff face. Sohm hmm. Well later later there's more
(34:45):
like Laura in ordersting like ding ding, Yes, perfect, I think maybe
I like Sandy. I'm just soconfused at the moment. Mike, Jeremy
and Clint know about Benjamin, andMike reckons he's going to tell him,
(35:06):
but he better not. I don'tknow. I like so many guys,
it's not funny anymore. I think, Benjamin, have you considered a short
spurt of mild lesbianism. I don'tthink so. I'm just going to say,
like, you're going through all thedies, and I'm like, I'm
worried you're going to run out.Your doughry's going to be empty for a
couple of years. There are afew more high schools in the town that
(35:30):
I could pimp my photo around andreminding everyone that, yes, in fact,
you did get one of your friendsto pimp you around at another high
school with your photo. It worked, so you know there's a few more.
Again. Walking that cliff very carefullyright now, because I was about
to say something, I was like, oh, that's a bit harsh.
(35:52):
But yeah, I think Benjamin andSandy are the two are like the most,
though tomorrow I'll probably think different.Okay later still the same day,
Okay, Hannah told Benjamin he goes, God, I'm old enough to be
(36:14):
her father. Okay, not quite. He was like three years older than
me, I think still. Hannahsaid, well, and he said if
I were around fifteen, definitely,China, let me down gently. It's
(36:36):
still in the statutory rate type ofthing. If he's seventeen eighteen and you're
fifteen, no, And if hewere fifteen, yeah. No. That's
what I'm basically saying, is like, it's still not great when yeah,
if I was a little bit morelegal, i'd have a crack. I
don't think he really meant it.He was probably just trying to be kind
(36:58):
instead of going no way. Butthe truth is, I, like Sandy,
only three people know me, Godand you Diary. Okay, So
are we settling on this person orshould I wait for the morning where it
(37:20):
could be someone else. Remember hisname for a little bit, I'll write
it down on the board. Yep. I couldn't stop coughing tonight and I
had to sit backstage during act twoand he came and sat next to me
and cheered me up. At leastI know he cares about me. I'm
writing a note to him that says, Sandy, thanks for cheering me up
(37:45):
last night. I owe you onegood luck for tonight. That's nice.
Yeah. So that was what dayof the week. That was Thursday,
So the musicalerformances were Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, and
(38:07):
then we did a matinee on theThursday. So five performances. Okay together,
yep A. Now we skip fromThursday the August the sixteenth Tuesday,
August the twenty first, nineteen ninetyso most of musical week. Dear Diary,
(38:30):
I'm at home sick still, andI do remember I really was quite
ill, and I had to getlike bronchitis medication and stuff, and I
had to sit out a few performancesbecause I was coughing so much I couldn't
(38:52):
sing anyway, and distracted exactly.The cardinal came a week early. But
that's the least of my worries,cardinal being a euphemism for period. I
gathered, Kevin and Deborah are goingout like you. We like this.
(39:19):
This is a Kevin and Deborah.We're happy for Deborah. We want Deborah
to have that happiness. But thething is, you don't sound too confident
about it. Well, deb stilllikes Chad. Don't tell anyone or I'm
dead. I promise I won't.The word is half out about me and
(39:45):
Sandy. I told Deborah first,of course, and she said she wouldn't
tell as long as I didn't sayanything about Chad. I also told Mike.
I doubt he'll say anything, butI can't be too sure. You
know what he's like. Yes,we all know what Mike's like. I
(40:07):
didn't know Mike back then, andI knew what Mike was like back then.
Plus Sandy's one of his good friends, so even if Mike didn't know
Sandy, it still would have been. I mean, there's a reason that
Asio looked at Mike and went,yeah, now we're good. Thanks.
(40:29):
I'm just going to trust my deepest, darket secret with the one person who
loves to share every bit of infamyeverything. I'm sure it'll be fine,
though, don't worry. We loveMike, but honestly with all the love
of my heart, and he knowsI love him. The world's biggest chatty
bitch, yes, yes, worstgossiper than me. Oh, he makes
(40:54):
a living out of it. Idid something really naughty today, excellent steeple
fingers. I was in the musicroom playing the organ when this big fat
exercise book caught my eye. Ithad We are friends, Yes, and
(41:15):
you know, I'm being very verygrown up, just skipping over the fact
you were in a hidden room playingwith an organ. I'm being very brave
and not telling you. I'm notsaying it. Not saying it. I
want you to know I'm being verybrave. Oh, such a good boy,
(41:37):
very restrained. Thank you very much. Yes, So this exercise book
had Journal seven, nineteen ninety writtenon the side. Ooh, scandalous.
So I had a pego got intoit. Oh and wham. I now
(41:58):
I know all this stuff about Clintand how Julie prick teasers, but not
with pricks, I think, asin playing around with his heart. But
he called it prick teasing. Okay, yeah, we could have had an
(42:21):
early nineties strap on situation. Andthere's a page Clint wrote when he was
crying. This is Clint's one okay, right. It didn't say exactly what
he was crying about, but I'dsay it had a lot to do with
Julie personally. I don't see howhe can like her. She can be
(42:45):
nice, but most of the timeshe's a bitch. Sorry, well,
not a big bitch, but youknow, medium sized bitch. Yeah,
Dad's being a bastard. Okay,smash bag, I didn't read the tape
measure properly and he got up me. I can't wait until he leaves on
(43:10):
Friday. Hush, it's probably goingaway for work. Rewind a week before
five six weeks ago. Gee,I wish we could spend time together together.
Fast forward five weeks. I wishour bastard would piss off a bit.
I'm making a goal, Okay,I will aim to be going out
(43:36):
with Marcus Sandy Sanderson by September ten, nineteen ninety or if need be,
September fourteen. So there after livingwith him for two weeks, I know
heaps about him. Okay, sohe came to stay at our house while
(43:57):
he was doing work experience because helived just outside of town. Yep,
was this the friend who had togo to work? And was no,
that's Clint, that's Clint. Okay, yeah, as I said Matrix,
yeah, I doubt I'll be goingto school tomorrow. I still feel really
sick. Thursday or Friday. MaybeMom says we might be going for a
(44:22):
bike ride on Sunday. That wouldbe good. The doves are making a
lot of noise when Mum went outto see to them. She said one
of the eggs was cracking, somaybe there's another cute little baby dove out
there. Anyway, I must getmy beauty sleep, so i'll write tomorrow
good night. You must have slepta lot. Oh sick, that was
(44:47):
a compliment. Ah, I getit. Yeah, okay, it worked.
Yeah. Wednesday, August twenty second, nineteen ninety, Dear Diary,
I didn't go to school. Istill feel sick and it's about four degrees
celsius out, so Mum said tostay in bed very boon. That dumb
(45:14):
music literacy assignment is due in tomorrow. I've started it. I'll finish it
later today. After this week,there are only three weeks until school finishes,
which means only three weeks till mybirthday. I don't know what to
do for my birthday. I wantto take the Kendalls, Shona, Sandy,
(45:37):
Kimberly, Mike, Mum and Dadto Lofties, but that's a lot
of people, so Lofti's is arestaurant, and I really like I might
just have to make it Rachel.I'll ask Mum about it this afternoon.
I can't believe almost a whole yearhas passed. Since I started this diary,
(45:59):
so much happened. I'd better getback to my music assignment. Actually,
I might blow my nose first.I love you, you know that.
Yeah. Later, I just sleptfor four hours. I feel really
(46:25):
off. I doubt i'll be goingto school tomorrow. I'll probably go back
Friday. But Mum said if Idon't go back tomorrow, there's no point
going Friday. Maybe that's a goodidea. I'll be completely better by Monday.
I shouldn't be anyway. She hasa very good point. Yeah,
I do remember. I really wasquite sick at musical practice last Monday,
(46:50):
so that was before performances. Ihad my school photo from nineteen eighty eight.
Deborah and I were remembering all thegreat things that happened that year.
Nineteen eighty eight was the best yearof my life. Great music, great
school, great friends. Everything wasjust so good. Deborah thinks the same.
(47:12):
Too big call, though, Yep. Well, on the weekend,
I'll have to nick down the littleold paper shop and get myself another little
old diary almost or else I'll usean old exercise book in case someone gets
me a new diary for my birthday. No, you can't have that.
(47:36):
You've got you've got to you've gotto be on song. I just thought,
how last year I liked Christian Townsand Billy Hopper. I reckon Christian
is on drugs. He talks realweird. It's scandalous. Yeah. So
(47:58):
that was Kent's older other. Okay, do you remember mm hmmm. I
wonder if he ever cried in theswimming pool with Kent. We we hold
a candle for Kent. We dowe do? We do? With my
birthday money, I'm going to buythat great terrific ho movie Dirty Dancing,
(48:22):
and maybe Flash Dance or La Bumba. Oh okay, remember when that was
a Newish movie that was like,oh fancy it was. Now it's classic
it is. Yeah, okay,anyway, I must go see you later
(48:45):
later. I just saw Razorback.It was really good. Do you remember
that movie I don't horror movie aboutthe big giant feral pig in the dry
and bush. No, sorry,you know you know me. I don't
(49:06):
like the horror films. I mean, it was pretty bad, but like
it was so bad it was good. Okay, so it's one of those
ones. Yeah, okay, wellI could probably I could probably watch it.
Yeah, you probably could, especiallythis far in the future because of
special effects, would leave a lotto be desired in comparison to modern day.
(49:29):
See what screwed me up is?There used to be a TV show
called Where And when I was young, when it was on or over a
friend's place at a party and allthe kids are in the garage and they
turned it on. That freaked me. Oh Jesus out. And yeah,
so I haven't liked scary films likethat. I don't have to look that
(49:51):
up. I don't remember that.Maybe a TV show. Yeah, I'm
going to look it up. Andso the shot with the silver bulletin,
yeah, uh, that's me.My room was such a mess, but
I tidied it up a bit,aren't you good? I am. I
(50:13):
feel really depressed. But I don'tknow why. You know how when you
bottle something up, you know,well, I feel like that, except
I've got nothing bottled up. MaybeI just need to cry. I get
like that a lot. I don'tknow why you've got a little bit boarded
up in the fact that you wantto bang everything that walls. I might
(50:36):
might just be because I'm not feelingwell. It might be hormones. Hormones.
Yeah, I wish Clint had nevermoved in. He is a big
pain. I can't wait until heand might get their own stove frigidt C.
Because I hate Clint and I wishI could see much less of him.
And that's the truth. But weused to like Clint. Mmm.
(51:04):
I wonder what he's done or notdone, namely you no, yes,
getting to that stage where you wantto bang things, not him. Yeah.
Well you say that with the definitivenessthat betrays the last twenty episodes that
we've been where anything is fair.Gay. I say this knowing full well
(51:30):
that it never went there. AndI never had any interest in him because
he's a big pain and I hatehim. But still, if the connections
were right, you just you justwish I look, I don't wish anything.
I just know you well, Iknow you now at this time.
(51:51):
No, never, I never wouldwent there. Okay, Yeah, well
you're standards, you're previous dating history. Blaze you going ooh, because you've
you've gone I like seven blokes atonce. Yeah, but there were certain
people I would just never went therewith, like Kent. Kent pops up

half bullying him. You know,it's like, yeah, you were just
