JANUARY 4th, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2004

JANUARY 4th, 1993

Today, school resumed. I gave Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Schellentrager their gifts.

I think Y.K.W. likes Jessi Prest. I thought I heard (in 1st period art) Scott Chrise say Jessica! He likes you! And Y.K.W. said I do not!! sigh.

Holly G. made me a Aladdin, Monty Python, and Steve Wright tape. I like it better than my old Ali tape.

In art (Mrs. Gummou subbed) we are making masks. I'm making a Hawwiian evil dolphin named Kiko who punishes my enemies.

JANUARY 4th, 1994

Holly Stone told me that BOY said we were kinda going out. Lisa Hoffmann said when she asked him, he said yes.

Marc said Mike Klamut might beat up BOY because he thinks his girlfriend Sarah might like BOY. BOY knows nothing about any of this.

He was absent yesterday because he was at a funeral, his Gramma.

JANUARY 4th, 1995

I watched auditions today. GIRL was terrible, but you never know. Katie was good. She'd make a good Mrs. Paroo, too, so maybe I will get Marion maybe.

Matt was talking to Heinrich (who was watching too) and asked him if he liked my hair short or long. He said he likes it better now. Maybe he doesn't hate me.

JANUARY 4th, 1996

Yesterday was a snow day so Sharon came over then we went to McDonald's and Walmart with Julie and took a tag off the new line of Richard Simmons clothes. It was fun. Then at home, I called Chris (I had a message that he called) and we talked for an hour or two.

Today was depressing and I can't pinpoint why. It may be that BOY obviously likes Julie, or that I can't figure out what to do about Chris, or the fact that I might not be able to do Brigadoon. We had a Masquers meeting today. We talked about Thespians (a new club we're joining (it's national)) and Brigadoon.

Well, I guess I'll go call Chris.

Oh yeah - Drew just called me and agreed to do the Talent Show with me (a band singing "What's Up?"

JANUARY 4th, 1999

My first day off since...a week ago? Work has been long, boring, and hard on my knees. I have taken to lying around watching TV and lifting weights in my free time.

Only four more days until I'm back in BG! I got my grades back and I'm in good shape. I have a 3.37 and am a junior now. I can't wait to go back. This week, I have my Cedar Point audition, then work on Thurs. and Sat., then leave Sat. night!

JANUARY 4th, 2004

Things just got a lot worse. Or a lot better. I don't know.

BOYFRIEND 4 has been so great these last few days. He came out with the fam and I to Pizza Hut and to see "Elf" again on Friday. He calls all the time. He's almost like a real boyfriend.

Then today. I went over BOY's and recorded a few songs for my demo. BOYFRIEND 4 joined us and we all went to Angelo's Pizza. I hinted that I should stop by his house for a minute before I went to work. So we got comfy on his bed for awhile. I gave him his late Xmas present, a Homestar Runner tee shirt.

He kept saying we have a problem. He was at fault for letting himself fall for me. But I totally wasn't expecting him to say this:

"I probably shouldn't say this right now. It's mean of me to say it before you leave. But I'm pretty sure I love you."

Holy shit. Of course I said I love you too. I can't believe he really said that. I almost didn't believe. He went on to say he hadn't said that to anyone in 2 years. I was completely shocked. He was pretty quiet.

I'm in denial. I have to move. We're not going to be together.

JANUARY 3rd, 1994, 1995

JANUARY 3rd, 1994

School was OK, but BOY was absent. Ski Club starts this Weds.

I missed BOY.

I got Mrs. Hecker to make a tape of "On My Own" so I can tryout for the talent show. I need a real accompanyest if I make it.

JANUARY 3rd, 1995

Heinrich is trying out for the Music Man! And everyone says I'll be Marion. Wouldn't that be interesting if he was Harold and I was Marion...

Anyway. Tryouts are tomorrow and Thursday. I can't wait!

7th period I talked to Dan like old times.

JANUARY 2nd, 1993

Saturday. 1 more day till school. Sigh. Is it an A or B day? Sigh.

Today we MAY go see Aladdin with the movie money Aimee got us.

~~~~~~~~~~~

We saw Aladdin (me and Kath) and I liked it as much as the first time. Mom and Dad saw A Few Good Men and it ran late so Kath and I decided to play video games in the lobby. I spotted Lindsay Phillips. I looked at a plaque on the wall hoping she'd notice me first (this way if they don't notice (or don't want to) I don't notice them). She did and ran to me arms out wide exclaiming "Jess!" I didn't know if it was a joke so I stood still. She hugged me so I hugged back. She asked how Florida was and that she got my postcard. At the "arcade" we saw Carrie Anderson. Lindsay asked what movie I'd seen. I said Aladdin. She said me to, her 3rd time. I said my 2nd. Then they proceeded to tell me about last night (when Lindsay had slept over Carrie's), how Carrie's little brother had thrown a Sprite-filled cup the thought was empty in his own face. When I didn't laugh to hard, Lindsay asked what was wrong. I said nothing. Apparently she likes me better than I thought she did.

JANUARY 2nd, 1994

Took GIRL home and took Kath to Baton. Pom-Pom starts again soon. Next week, I think. Another year. Ski Club should start anyday now. I get to use my own (Aunt Vicki's) skis. School (stress) tomorrow. Sigh.

JANUARY 2nd, 1995

I spoke to Jason Ribs (kinda). He said "Is Tiffany Gates arrogant?" I said, "YES!" (Corey wasn't there.) "She's everything bad!" He was listening in on Amy Church and me. During Senior Choir, he slept at my feet (by Claire and Brian Hoke) and heard (I'm sure) me and Jenni talking. (We didn't say anything special.)

Today half the school was absent. (It's actually a holiday) I talked to Dan in 7th period, he seems back to normal. He promised to take me to Chicago in the year 2010.

Today I caught BOY's eye a few times. When Holly S. patted me on the arm, he said "Hey, don't touch her there!" I feel something weird with him. Maybe...YEAH RIGHT!

JANUARY 2nd, 1997

Holy changes in my life!

1) Me, Katie and Julie went to Phil Navratil's (of Chuck E. Cheese fame) party where there was lots of drinking. But Scott was there and his flirting gets more sincere every time I see him.

2) Chris and I have been thinking about taking a break and today we decided that when he leaves, we'll do so.

3) Me and Sharon spent New Year's Eve and Don Debiase's party. The weirdest thing happened. The second I walked in, I had BOY's undivided attention. And the flirting wasn't eased into, it was head first! He left for another party, but not before holding my hand firmly as he said good-bye to everyone. Then he squeezed it and left. I've spent the last few days wondering WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

4) I got a second job - at Lone Star. Me and Sharon (who went as far as making out w/BOY) are hoping to go out with them on Friday because BOY leaves for the army on Saturday.

JANUARY 1st 1993, 1994, 1995

JANUARY 1st, 1993

New Year's Day. Kelly, Cheryl, and Rick came over. We played Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago? and Super Mario World on GameBoy. I saw an ad on TV for a video game I REALLY want. Problem is it's for Sega. It's a dolphin game, to! The first in history had to be a Sega! It's called Ecco the Dolphin. Maybe Holly G.'ll by it. Then we went to Kathy Anns (mom's cousin) there were so many kids and so much smoke! I watched Beauty and the Beast downstairs (honestly, what do people see in that movie? It's boring! I like Aladdin) and upstairs I watched one of my favorites, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.

JANUARY 1st, 1994

Last night I talked w/GIRL till past midnight. When I got on, it was 1993, when I got off, it was 94.

We went to Cousin Kelly's. We played "Dream Phone" "Slumber Party" "Mall Madness" "Saved by the Bell" and "Ask Zandar".

GIRL is going to sleepover tonight. We have to talk to BOY. About the talent show. It's going to be hard, but I have to think of myself, to.

When we were over GIRL's, I was always trying to get BOY to hold little Kara. At first, he said no, she'll pee, and just joked. But later, when he saw how much I liked the baby, he started playing with her and talking baby talk. Before Kara's naptime, she gave us all little kisses. When she kissed BOY's cheek it was so cute. He was kinda embarassed.

When we watched my scene in The Good Doctor, GIRL sobbed over BOY while BOY threw cookies at me. So I jumped on his lap and stuffed one down his shirt. I hit his head accidentally. So when he complained of pain I knew wasn't there, I patted him and said, "Aww!"

I know he likes me, the next step is to get him to either A) ask me out B) kiss me C) both. Preferably C). Maybe I SHOULD make the first move like GIRL says. Like when he tells me how I don't like to be touched, I can just go and kiss him to prove him wrong. Sigh.

If BOY and I ever get our "relationship" off the ground, how long will it last? Ben said he went out with Lisa Sanford last year and they didn't do anything.

GIRL came over and we called BOY. He was disappointed about "In My Life" because we'd practiced a lot for it. It feels so much better.

GIRL was mad at BOY for throwing stuff out the window. We pretended I was out of the room and GIRL talked to BOY.

"So what do you want to know about Jessica?"
"What do you mean?"
"Her favorite color, that stuff."
"Why would I want to know anything?"
"Well if you like her - you do like her, don't you?"
"I don't think that's any of your business."
"OK."

What does it mean?! BOY asked if GIRL got me a Les Miz book yet. I decide if I hint enough, he'll get it for me. He also kept playing "And I can live inside my...head" over and over again on his CD. It's his favorite part from "On My Own." The music I got doesn't include it.

JANUARY 1, 1995
She did remember (Holly) but I'd already made plans so we planned it for today.

On Friday I saw Corey's play at Greenbriar "Meet Me in St. Louis". I heard about tryouts there for The Secret Garden.

By the way, Matt and Aunt Kathleen are gone and school is tomorrow. :(

DECEMBER 31st, 1992

I need a new pen. Today is cleaning day. I may go to Marion's at 1:00.

DECEMBER 31st, 1993

Me and the "Fam" went to see "Mrs. Doubtfire". It was funny. Hopefully, GIRL, BOY, BOY and I will get together on Sunday. I found out that you can only do 1 thing for the talent show. BOY obviously loves "A Little Fall of Rain", but I love "On My Own". I could pretend I don't have any "Rain" music. (Nicole's book has it). Or maybe he won't go through with it. I don't want to hurt his feelings, I love "Fall of Rain" to! But I'm more comfortable with "On My Own."

DECEMBER 25th, 1993

Christmas! I got a tape deck, camera, Ouija board, Jurassic Park game, Home Alone II, Andrew Lloyd Webber CD, underwear, etc. Aunt Vicki loaned me her skis for Ski Club. Again, all the McCafferty's were together.

DECEMBER 24th, 1993

Christmas Eve. We had Denny's with Holly, Alison Thompson and Dolf Kamper.

Later, at Holly's, Aimee gave us a 3-D dolphin picture. (the ones you stare at) Chris Lee (Alison's beau) came over and Dolf. And they all exchanged 5 million gifts.

Later still we went to Aunt Kay's. (and partyied with the family)
