FEBRUARY 27th, 1994
I didn't go to the dance. I was only allowed on the phone for 15 mins. I accidentally stayed on for like, 17 or 20.
It's another boring day. Haley Smith slept over, today we're going to Uncle Nick's and Aunt Von's.
I miss Sandusky. I love it up there and I'm glad we're renting a beachouse for a week there in the summer. It's on Cedar Point Road, a lane full of houses on Lake Erie. We'll go to CP once that week and that's the day BOY can come up. But mom won't let him spend the night. It's prejudice. Just cause he's a boy. He's my best friend, and my boyfriend. It's not like he'll do anything.
FEBRUARY 27th, 1995
Amy said Beth hates me and makes fun of my singing. Another one dragged on to Heinrich's side.
In 7th period, Tony was in the Social Studies office flirting with Holly. I don't care.
This weekend, Suze will see Greg at States. It's not fair, but that's life. C'est la vie. Or something.
FEBRUARY 27th, 1996
NO SCHOOL!! What a great surprise! The water main broke! So I tagged along with Julie and Sharon when they went to find outfits for the Talent Show. Julie, Sharon, Sabrina, Andrea, Nikki Freska and Angie Dibiase are dancing in the background while Paul and Ben rap up front. Then I watched them all practice in Julie's basement. I even danced a little. I felt really in the way though. And when Paul and Ben came and said they were treating everyone to lunch, I left. Paul kinda ignored me. I was sort of disappointed. It could be cause he just got off the phone with his ex that he's obsessed with. Oh well.
I called BOY when I got home, but it was too late for us to do anything cause he had to stay home at 4:00 and work at 6:00. It was SOOOOO warm!! I even opened up my windows!!

FEBRUARY 23rd, 1993
SNOW DAY!! When we least expected it!
I went sledding with Holly G and Marion. Christina cryed because her parents wouldn't let her come. We went to the hill in Berea where I went years ago with Paulette, Holly S, Stacey and Christie Winners.
Guess who showed up just as we were leaving? YKW! He might have seen me go down the hill. What are the odds of him showing up?
FEBRUARY 23rd, 1994
It's before school. I only have a few minutes. We had Ski Club last night. The usual with Kirt but on the bus Greg Manning, Kirt and I were all talking:
"Everyone likes her." (Kirt)
"Jason Brown, Craig..." (me)
"Me." (Kirt)
"YKW still does." (Greg)
"What?" (me)
"He did last year, too." (Greg)
"Then why didn't he ask me out?" (me)
"He says he doesn't ask girls out, they ask him." (Greg)
What an ego. But the shocker was on the slopes:
"Hey Jess!" (YKW)
"Huh?"
"Do you have your Black?"
"No."
"Then you shouldn't be on these hills!"
He talked to me! He called me Jess, not Wilderbeast! Although, that nickname came up at other times. On the bus he said,
"Wilderbeast, I love it." Kirt said YKW loved me. And once, I looked back and he was staring at me. Then he quickly looked away.
Oh yeah. The day went OK. Tues night when BOY called I subtly confronted him about his ex-girlfriend. Then the next day I gave him a note where I spilled everything about how he was never serious, blah blah. He wrote back saying he likes me and thinks we're great together.
The usual. GIRL thinks I'm mad at her cause she ruined our Little Prince skit. I really just hate her. At practice, we did "All the Livelong Day" again.
Kath says Sharon Manuel is going to tryout for some choir thing with "On My Own". If it's the Pop Concert, I'll scream!!
BOY said YKW was really distracted today. He didn't insult him, and he forgot his gym clothes and just sat silently on the side. I wonder...
FEBRUARY 23rd, 1995
In 7th period I saw Holly and Tony walking. I walked with them. I just asked him if he cut his hair, (he did) but said "No, I just slicked it back." I said, "Hey!" They laughed and I stalked off into the bathroom jokingly. Then Tony didn't show up to rehearsal. Someone probably told him I like him and he went home to throw up. One of these days, god will have pity on me and give me a boyfriend.
FEBRUARY 23rd, 1996
I talked to BOY at lunch. I told him I was sorry for ignoring him and he said sorry for losing his temper. He said he'd lost 6 lbs in the two days I ignored him. He thought it was over (again). I told him I didn't want it to be completely over. So now we're back where we started. But I still feel allowed to see other people. And I did.
At play practice I flirted with Norris and Ben and Paul. I agreed to be Paul's date for the movies that night. I told Norris I might go out to the McDonald's with him and Jim before the movie. But I cancelled it and went with Julie and Paul to the mall for food, then picked up Ben and went to the movie. Norris made me promise to save him a seat. But him and Jim were late and me, Paul, Teper, Don, Ben, Julie, Carlos, Mike and some other guy took up a whole row. So he was kinda mad. Paul and I held hands during the movie "Happy Gilmore" (with Adam Sandler); it was kinda weird. After that we (Ben, Julie, Paul and me) were gonna go down to Huntington Beach, but a cop started following us. I feel asleep on Paul's lap. So Ben just took us back to his house to pick up Julie's car and go home. There, I gave Paul a kiss on the cheek and sat in Julie's car. But Ben and Julie were hugging so Paul opened my door so we wouldn't have to watch. I hugged him cause he said he was cold - and what do you know? It was the Paul Sems experience all over again. Except this Paul is a better kisser. And I started it too! I don't even know if I like Paul like that. Who'd of thunk it?
FEBRUARY 23rd, 1997
Last night Holly Stone, Julie, Christy and I went to Scott's beer party. His parents were out of town everybody from Westlake was there. I hung out with Phil, Chris Rybicki and Chad Ritchie. Chad and me and Julie bonded and he says we're popular now. Scott was all over me to show his friends how cool I am and Chad was like "No! You're supposed to be a good girl!" Later - Chad asked me to go show him where the pop is and then lead me to a back hallway where we made out for about 10 minutes until we heard Katie calling for me. Then I drove him and Julie home. That was really weird.
But - at work Sat, Justin finally talked to me! I wrote him a note on Fri and said I'm sorry. Yea! I still like him. I hope we can at least become friends again.

FEBRUARY 22nd, 1993
At 8:15 we (Marion and I) went in to work for Mrs. Henderson. She had me go to the boiler room to get a bulb changed. Then we organized the closet. I saw an old Health project of YKW's. It was a clay heart. I said I would break his heart.
In the hall, Crystal said "I know who you like! YKW!"
In 1st period I got Tom's mind off of "Andy Post" by calling attention to the fact that Jessi Heim and Bryan Schleigh were always together. He didn't mention Andy.
In 2nd period, "You Must Fly" went to the band room to practice. Tiffany said I wasn't singing loud enough. Michelle Gaspar said YKW walked past her house Sunday. Her little siblings were yelling for him to come over. He ignored them. Briget said she didn't expect him to be that tall.
In 3rd period, Mrs. Petrokowski was very "lively". She dumped a box of styrofoam all over the floor.
At lunch, I saw YKW eating a sandwich (white bread) with his mouth closed. What a gentlemen!
In 4th period we had to go to study hall all period instead of art aiding. I had to sit by Chris Rybicki (whom Christina says likes me) because my old seat was taken by Joe Casola.
In 5th period while we did a lab about optical illusions (tube; hole in the hand), Mrs. Thompson read our points. I'm getting an A by 1 point! Pete shook my hand. We talked some more about time-share with the high school.
In 6th period, Mrs. Dean, my favorite 7th grade science teacher, interrupted our class to talk to me. In the hall she asked about Michelle Lappa (last year we kept her turtle Izzy as a class pet. Mrs. Dean needed the lent aquarium back. I said I didn't know where she was. Last year, I designed a background for it with Becky Spears and painted it.) Back in class, when YKW got to be Supreme court judge, he passed me a couple times. He ignored me and I him. Melissa Hill was absent so Michelle Magnone moved into her seat for special seating.
In 7th period Jason Henzen knew I liked YKW. He wrote it all over his folder. Sigh. Tom T knows too.
Dying is such a big word for a kid as young as Laurie.
FEBRUARY 22nd, 1994
Play practice was OK. We worked with Andrew Blenderman on "All the Livelong Day."
FEBRUARY 22nd, 1995
Lauren Stamm and her dad are both in "The Secret Garden". I'm not. Well, let's see..how many failures is that just this year? Shall we recap?
1. Jason says no
2. Drew says nothing
3. Katie is Marion
4. No Biology field trip
5. No Secret Garden
Pretty bumming year. I hope next year will be better.
Today I practiced "Piano Lesson" by myself (no Katie). Suze and I kept bumping into Tony everywhere while we roamed the halls looking for her brother (our ride home). When I said hi, he stared at me and said, "Hi, Jessica." Then, when we saw him again I said "Stop following us!" He laughed. As we were heading out the door, he was there, I said bye. He was acting so strange. Maybe he knows.
FEBRUARY 22nd, 1996
Last night, BOY called. I hung up without even saying hello. He called back a few seconds later and my sister said "I'm sorry, she doesn't want to talk to you."
Today he ignored and avoided me and fawned over Jen Cook (why?). At play practice he stared at me all day while I flirted with Ben, Paul and Norris. Norris told me he liked me and Sabrina and he'd dump Jen in a second for me. I kinda do like him, but I still like BOY so much! And then there's Greg - AHHH!
Justin and I started fighting because he told Matt about the me and him and Julie thing and I told Paul and it's all messed up.
SIDEBAR: Justin just called. Me, him and Julie are going out tonight to talk about all this.
FEBRUARY 22nd, 1998
BOYFRIEND 2 scared me this weekend by saying he thought we spent too much time together and our relationship was too cutesy and high school. So I got sad and questioned everything he said. So finally he said he wanted to be my boyfriend and he loves me. He never really closed the subject. I still bring it up.
I competed at Forensics on Friday and Saturday with "Cat in the Hat" This time, the judges weren't so open-minded and I didn't place. When I got home, I got letters from Cedar Point (I'm an alternate, as always) and Trumpet in the Land (I'm chorus) and BOYFRIEND 2 in my bed. I've been skipping Antigone and Sweeney rehearsals every now and again (with excuses) because my parts are small and boring. Dad came up today and took BOYFRIEND 2 and I to lunch at Ranch. I bought a new camera at Wal-Mart. Last night, BOYFRIEND 2 and I watched Fear and Loathing at Heather's.

FEBRUARY 20th, 1993
Today was Pom-Pom. We have an exhibition dance tomorrow from 8:00 to 12:00.
Marion called and asked if I wanted to go to a movie (4:45). Dad said no.
~~~~~~~~~~
The dance was fun. Kath didn't go. She had the flu. I'll get it next.
We did our routine and danced till midnight. I wore my singer's uniform. Everyone liked it. I started the bunny hop and everyone on the floor joined in! We requested YMCA and Aladdin to Irene + the Irishman but the only pop song they could play was Achy-Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus - yick!
I like Pom-Pom. Can't wait till the parade!
FEBRUARY 20th, 1994
BOY called while Kath and Mom were at Baton. He invited me to Cedar Point tomorrow. I'm allowed. Kelly's sleeping over.
BOY called last night also. Today I teased him about Frances Ruffelle and Kirt. He's probably annoyed.
I'm talking to BOY right now. We're depressed. He's looking at his Les Miz book. When I said "I have 15, no wait, 16 - I got a new one - posters of Jonathan Brandis in my room!" he said: "Oh, I think I'm gonna cry!"
FEBRUARY 20th, 1995
We had no school, but a 5 hour long Music Man practice. Did I tell you what Heinrich said to Matt? "Well, Ribs was all ready to go out with Jess, but I changed his mind!" What a jerk! But today during 76 Trombones, I gave him my empty pop can. "What? You want me to hold this?" "No, set it down, please." He was so friendly and humorous. I hate him.
Matt said Tony likes my body (which is every guy's dream, but not with my personality). So what? He still flirts with Lauren.
Greg Paradis taught me to play "All Apologies" on Josh Jesty's guitar.
FEBRUARY 20th, 1996
Last night, during the phone conversation with BOY, he started crying. I felt so bad. He said he needs me.
Today I was very quiet and withdrawn. I ended up writing a note to BOY saying maybe we should cool it for awhile.
After school he waited for me and we talked about it. I totally went back and said I didn't want him to leave, I do, I'm so confused! He's hurt, but he understands (I hope) that I need some time to think it all out.
At play practice we ran through a few scenes and Ben took me, Paul and Tony home. I told them about the Justin thing. They loved it.

FEBRUARY 8th, 1993
Today I went over Michelle Gaspar's house. We roller skated in her basement, read about peoples' embarrassing moments in YM magazine, listened to Aladdin and played Oregon Trail on the computer. It's been about 3 months since YKW knew I liked him. About 4 or 5 months until summer. 8 months until high school.
I am reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. So far I love it. It was one of my favorite rides at Disney World.
in 6th period we had Ms. Daily as a sub. We were coughing and saying "Erv!" at the same time. (as in Ervin Reed) I can't wait until Ski Club.
FEBRUARY 8th, 1994
Last night BOY called. We talked for an hour or so. I teased him saying he liked GIRL, and Amy and Megan O'Malley and Becky Angel, all of which he denied. He said I liked BOY, and Kirt and Jonathan Brandis.
Today we had the first cast meeting for Working. Despite GIRL being in it, it's an awesome musical!! Besides being John Rolfing, newsboy, I'm also the silent memory of the son in "Fathers + Sons" and in the women's chorus. I am so excited! I love my part! I have one long line and a long solo/song with backup "bushes".
FEBRUARY, 8th, 1995
Greg Paradis said he went up to Heinrich and said, "Hey there, Eric." (from The Crow) and Jason said, "You've been talking to Jess Kemock. She's the only one who calls me that." What? I do?
At rehearsal Tony flirted with Lauren Stamm (who flirts with everyone) and hit me. I hate this.
FEBRUARY 8th, 1996
After school Julie, Sharon and I went to Convenient before our 4:20 chorus rehearsal. I only saw BOY a few times. After rehearsal, Sharon and I ate dinner at Dr. Joe's Pizza.
FEBRUARY 8th, 1998
On Friday, I went to OTA auditions in Columbus with Molly, Kelly, Sarah, Christina, Megan, Bethany, and Chris. We stayed at the Red Roof Inn and visited with Bryan Patrick Foley and Mark Rhodes. At the auditions, I got called back to SEVEN companies! Emily Cawrse was there and we were inseprable until we left around 9pm. I was so happy to see her! We both got called back to this company we both really want to do. (the Barn Theatre in Michigan)
Then I had Sweeney rehearsal at 6:30 today. Heather and I are playing twins in one scene.
FEBRUARY 8th, 2003
Just got home from a fun night. BOY and his friend BOYFRIEND 4 came to see my show and then we hung out afterwards. BOY is totally obsessed with his ex-girlfriend. I'm really not sure what's going on, but it's big drama.
We all sat in the cabaret afterwards - BOYFRIEND 4 is hilarious and caught the eye of my castmate, Jill. BOYFRIEND immediately assumed the role of my big brother, although he seemed a little flirty too. I think that's his thing. We went to a bar called the Blind Pig where BOY had a weird, heated conversation with his ex-girlfriend and we all stood around awkwardly. BOY and BOYFRIEND 4 are so refreshing. They crack me up and they are pretty much the male versions of me. I really hope they sincerely like me too and we continue to hang out.
Wow. Laughter makes such a difference.

Besides being John Rolfing, newsboy, I'm also the silent memory of the son in "Fathers + Sons" and in the women's chorus. I am so excited! I love my part! I have one long line and a long solo/song with backup "bushes".

Greg Paradis said he went up to Heinrich and said, "Hey there, Eric." (from The Crow) and Jason said, "You've been talking to Jess Kemock. She's the only one who calls me that." What? I do?
At rehearsal Tony flirted with Lauren Stamm (who flirts with everyone) and hit me. I hate this.
FEBRUARY 8th, 1996
After school Julie, Sharon and I went to Convenient before our 4:20 chorus rehearsal. I only saw BOY a few times. After rehearsal, Sharon and I ate dinner at Dr. Joe's Pizza.

On Friday, I went to OTA auditions in Columbus with Molly, Kelly, Sarah, Christina, Megan, Bethany, and Chris. We stayed at the Red Roof Inn and visited with Bryan Patrick Foley and Mark Rhodes. At the auditions, I got called back to SEVEN companies! Emily Cawrse was there and we were inseprable until we left around 9pm. I was so happy to see her! We both got called back to this company we both really want to do. (the Barn Theatre in Michigan)
Then I had Sweeney rehearsal at 6:30 today. Heather and I are playing twins in one scene.
FEBRUARY 8th, 2003
Just got home from a fun night. BOY and his friend BOYFRIEND 4 came to see my show and then we hung out afterwards. BOY is totally obsessed with his ex-girlfriend. I'm really not sure what's going on, but it's big drama.
We all sat in the cabaret afterwards - BOYFRIEND 4 is hilarious and caught the eye of my castmate, Jill. BOYFRIEND immediately assumed the role of my big brother, although he seemed a little flirty too. I think that's his thing. We went to a bar called the Blind Pig where BOY had a weird, heated conversation with his ex-girlfriend and we all stood around awkwardly. BOY and BOYFRIEND 4 are so refreshing. They crack me up and they are pretty much the male versions of me. I really hope they sincerely like me too and we continue to hang out.
Wow. Laughter makes such a difference.

FEBRUARY 6th, 1993
I had ACT tests from 8am to 11:30am. Borrrrinng!! I didn't get any of it. Then I went to Talent Show tryouts with Holly G. We just watched. Then we went to the mall. We played Ecco the Dolphin at Software, etc. It was the funnest game I've ever played! You can jump and porpoise and flip - EXACTLY like a real dolphin!! I really felt like I was a dolphin! I love it! Too bad it's for Sega. Holly says she wants it so I'll be able to play.
Tonight, Kelly might come over because of bowling. I can't go over to Michelle's or Holly's.
Jocelyn (the GREAT "natural dancer," she says) didn't try out like she told the whole school.
FEBRUARY 6th, 1994
I went to see "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" with Holly today. She seems more mature than in the summer. Maybe it's just me. All I can think about is BOY. He called me last night. We talked about the usual. I like him so much I'm going insane!!
FEBRUARY 6th, 1995
Saturday was Drew's (I think 15th) birthday. I wonder what gift Sabrina gave him.
Today Tony told Holly S. that I gave him a picture of her at Forensics. (which I did. He thinks she's good luck. Whenever he's with her, he sees Mary) Apparently Holly thought it was a picture of us sitting on the toilet together (which we used to do when we were 3 YEARS OLD!!). So Tony came up to me and said he wanted a picture of us in the bathroom. Paul said the same thing later. It was hilarious.
Today was a TAP Day so I got to sleep in. (Tues, Weds, Thurs are also TAP Days)
Amy told me that when I sang the national anthem on Friday, Riberdy and Matt gave me a standing ovation. But wait...isn't everyone supposed to stand?

Ski Club was excellent! I think YKW likes me. He didn't say anything mean to me except:
We were in line for North Bowl. He was unlatching Greg's shoes and saying:
"She did it!" (pointing to me)
"YKW, you are very mean." (me)
"Shuddup." (him)
When I tried to unlatch Greg's shoes he said:
"No, try this one," he laughed, when he couldn't get it off. "Maybe that one!"
On the slopes:
"Don't keep making ten turns, you have to get up some speed." (him)
"Thanks." (me)
On the bus, Brent and Melissa were running around the bus (Chinese fire drill).
FEBRUARY 5th, 1994
Well, I got the Newsboy! BOY didn't get in. Tessa, Elicia and Emily Adams got small parts while me and Kim Hocevar got leads (she sings the Millworking song).
Forensics was awesome! I only had to perform twice. (So did everyone else) in 1 hour rounds, then 1 hour break while the other events performed. BOY was in a different group so I didn't really see him till the end. We had to wait for hours! We sat at a table (by ourselves) and drew pictures of Cookie. I brought my camera.
When BOY started getting wild, I got mad and ignored him, unless he was serious.
FEBRUARY 5th, 1995
Tony scared the Puppy away for good by having a seizure and biting open a pop can. I took him out in the hall and pretended to give him his medication. Greg, a cute guy who I WISH would follow me around like a puppy, came over and talked with us. And we played Ouija. Susan, Gail and Nicole are all going to States. Me and Amy Church got shafted but we have another chance next week.
FEBRUARY 5th, 1996
It was a Tap Day. I only saw BOY once or twice. I thought about Greg over a million times. I showed everyone his picture. I got mixed results. Most people agreed that he's hot. BOY wrote me a note saying how he figured out who I had a "fling" with. He didn't say who. I think he knows it's Justin.
Greg is occupying my every thought. Only 2 more tournaments! What if I mean nothing to him! What if I do mean something to him? I have to wait two more weeks till the next tournament. How will I survive?
FEBRUARY 5th, 2004
Last night I saw my first celebrities - Vince Vaughn and Mila Kunis - at Dublin's on Sunset. Big Ed and I went to the free Tuesday comedy show to see Dane Cook, but he wasn't there that night.
I think I'll be moving to Burbank in a week or so. Amy Kletecka's friend needs a roomie and I need to get out of Costa Mesa. It's too far. So that postpones me getting a job as well - unless I go up around there to look. I HATE not having a job. I just sit around watching TV like a slob. And Best Buy had my laptop for a good week, doing stuff they said would only take an hour, and now they lost my battery. But I need to focus on the good.

FEBRUARY 2nd, 1993
In 1st period Reading we are just starting to grok. It's pretty easy. I think I have the highest words per minute in the class (880).
In Singer's we talked about how if the levy didn't pass this time we'd be condemned. We'd have to go to the high school from 12:00 to 6:00. That would be fun I think. A change of scenery and a chance to sleep in.
In 4th period gym we had our 3rd class on STDs. We had to do a report on an STD. My group's is AIDS. Mike Cutlip, Loni Garrity, Marie Jocke and Jim Braddish (and some 7th grader, I don't know his name, who likes to play with his retainer). I colored a picture of Baby Dinosaur for Marie and she liked it. I'll do one for Sarah next.
In 6th period SStudies we changed the laws. Our new bill is free seating on Wednesday. It was kind of a boring class. We voted for congressmen. I was disappointed that no one chose me but I didn't show it. I voted for Scott Chrise, Andy Demian and Jessica Heim and Adra Lee Smith.
If I die, I want this journal to be lent to anyone in my school who wants to read it. Hey, it'd be embarrassing, but I won't be around to blush! I doubt that'll ever happen. (I hope not.)
FEBRUARY 2nd, 1996
Tonight I went to Nikki Freska's (Nic's girlfriend) house after the basketball game with Julie and Chris.
FEBRUARY 2nd, 2003
Bob and Anne came up this weekend and came to my show. It was nice to have someone I know there. I'm finally getting comfortable onstage and the directors are slowly but surely leaving me alone. Afterwards, we watched the Las Vegas duo perform.

In choir, Mrs. Crandell is ordering an Amy Grant medley for us to sing.
In 6th period (I already said) I sit all the way away from him. I think he got a haircut or something. His bangs were kind of fluffy. Tomorrow in SStudies, Mr. S gave us the opportunity to change classroom rules around. (the whole shebang: Senate, bills, veto, etc)
Tonight (7 to 9:30) I have Pom-Pom. I get to pass by his house.
I got a Dinosaurs coloring book on Saturday night when we went shopping. I am coloring a picture for Marie Jocke.
In 7th period English we talked about how blind we thought Mrs. Weigel was. I said she was looking right at Danielle and punished YKW when Danielle threw something.
FEBRUARY 1st, 1994
Typical day. Holly (Stone) kept coming up to me and telling everyone I was a great singer. I'm getting embarrassed when I'm seen with GIRL.
Michelle told me that in Biology, BOY asked if he could see her book, took it, and looked at the covers where I had written "JJ loves BOY", etc. He looked at it again! Sigh.
FEBRUARY 1st, 1995
I went in early to practice "Naomi in the Living Room" and in 2nd period Mr. Moore asked "Were you the one screaming this morning?"
I caught Drew's eye in the hall for a second. I wonder if he thinks about me.
In 7th period we (Jenni Mueller, Erin Hixon, Chris Sotz, Lisa Hoffman) discussed life and reincarnation, and every other unsolved mystery we could think of while the seniors gave us weird looks.
FEBRUARY 1st, 1996
7th period we had a 45 minute long Pep Rally for the winter sports. Julie on trumpet and me on mellophone sat with, yet apart, from the band. Tony was supposed to lead the Rally but he skipped school. So Mr. Mercer did it. (And did it better!) Oh, I made the Forensics "cut" so I'm competing Saturday.
Julie and I hope to go out tonight with Justin. Norris wants to go out on Friday night. Katie wants to do something tonight. What do I really want to do? Go out alone with BOY. I want to sit and talk for hours. I miss him. The OLD him.
