I like to call this one: The one where I get a little TOO honest with my diary and resort to white out.
Luckily, I have been able to decipher the first white out block. The second one is still a mystery, but the first one is amazing… read:
Sep, 21, 1996
Dear Diary,
Hi! The other day [my Mom caught me reading in the bathroom. I] turned really red. Also I’m having a party. A halloween party. Also I got my costume last night. I’m a genie, It’s a real flashy outfit. I love it. You know who else I love? Justin, Nick, Brian, and Andy. I have fantisies of getting 60 seconds in heaven with them! I hope I do! were going to play suck & blow and spin the bottale! How fun.
Love,
[symbol]
So some quick commentary:
1) Love LOVE the first white out block. Reading Fear Street in the bathroom again, Beth? How humiliating!
2) I would give anything to know what raunchy thing I wrote under the second block. Anything. I guarantee you it was about doing a naughty thing at my party. Or maybe it was about the time KT’s Mom caught us reading a sex ed book and we hid under her bed for three hours in shame. It must have been good though, if it warranted a scribble out AND a white out.
3) Four crushes? Really, 12-year old Beth? Four?
4) Even with mentions of 60 Seconds in Heaven and other such gems, I still have to say my favorite part of this one is when I refer to my Halloween costume as “a real flashy outfit”. It just shows what a total, total loser I actually was.

What actually happened:
-Beth puts on ‘flashy’ genie outfit.
-Beth sets everything up PERFECTLY for costume party
-Beth spills red punch and smears candy on ‘flashy genie’ costume
-Beth hides in the bathroom for 1 hour, Mom catches her reading
-Beth is MORTIFIED
-Party ends–no one kissed, no one sucked, no one blowed…
-The Symbol writes another diary entry.

I’ve tried to initiate rounds of Suck & Blow at bars. No one believes me that it’s harmless.

Ooooh, maybe the genie outfit was a foreshadowing of your kickass birthday outfit this year, and you were getting a headstart on your rockstar-ness. That makes you much less of a loser!

12 year old Beth was a dirty tramp. Four freakin boys?

You know you were flashy. And you know you still are.

Is “flashy outfit” 12 year old talk for slutty outfit? If so then I am wearing a flashy outfit this weekend and if anyone calls me slutty I will tell them ‘no I’m flashy.” Get it right people!

I played spin the bottle once in 8th grade, but I’m a little jealous I never got a chance at Suck and Blow and 60 seconds in Heaven.
I blame it on Catholic school.

I’m honestly going to steal all of these and re-post them as mine.
That shouldn’t be obvious or anything.

hahah! I love the part about playing 60 seconds in heaven and suck and blow. Just funny how excited you got. Fantasies about 60 seconds in heaven!
That is too funny. I wish I knew where my diary was, now I want to go read it!

I seriously CRACK UP, like laugh out loud when I read these entries. For real. You must have been the craziest 12 year old…we should have been besties.

Sadly I only ever played spin the bottle as a child…I feel like I was deprived. I would have really loved getting groped in the closet.

‘real flashy’ is a totally acceptable way to describe an outfit.
just sayin.

“real flashy” ahhahahahaha. i couldn’t stop laughing.
i’m glad at that age i did not keep a journal because it would surely be at least as embarrassing. thanks for sharing!
the fact that you whited stuff out is also hilarious.
i am loving your blog.

Loving the ‘mum caught me reading in the bathroom!’ The whole entry sounds very much like something 12-yr-old me would write!
