It can never be a good thing when I have No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog and an old diary in the same room.
In the spirit of Suggestion #7 – Examine Your Paperwork, I give you you, my diary entry from January 23rd, 1995 (I was 14.5 years old at that point). If this doesn’t meet your teenaged angst quota for the rest of 2006, then frankly, I’m not sure what will. Spelling and grammatical errors included for your enjoyment.

Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven’t written in a while, but nothing much has happened. Today however was completely different. For awhile I’ve liked Shaun M***. He’s a complete sweetheart, & he likes me too. Unfortunately, Christian just found & Shaun just happens to be his best friend. Christian told Sue-Anne he wanted to beat the shit outta Shaun. I told Shaun, now Shaun’s scared Shitless. I got mad at Christian, now Christian told Sue-Anne who told Shawn who told me that if he has to live without me (I told him I wanted to break up with him), He doesn’t want to live at all, he’s gonna kill himself.

Sarah Brown, inspiration for this idea, and founder of Cringe, mentioned that if reading the diary entry makes you physically cringe, it’s funny.
God I hope so, for your sake.
I had some difficulty following that, but that’s probably my lack of teenage diarizing.
Shaun & Christian? You sure you weren’t in the middle of a Nip/Tuck episode? your name isn’t really KIMBER is it? 🙂
I can’t wait to get my copy of Maggie’s book. I’m not sure I’m brave enough to bare my adolescent soul, though.
