Each Thursday, your Crap Archivist brings you the finest in forgotten and bewildering crap culled from basements, thrift stores, estate sales and flea markets. I do this for one reason: Knowledge is power
As February dawns, Terri's sources remain on the Mark case, but she's also concerned with academic matters.
"Leah at King's yelled at Mark. She went over to him and asked how come you don't come over and talk to Terri. He whispered I Don't Like Her Anymore.Resilient, Terri doesn't let this eat at her for long.
Darn!
It was fun while it lasted.
I wonder why he doesn't like me anymore?"
"I had a blast a King's though. Jeff W. is a crack up."Terri soon learns that not having a crush on a guy who won't even talk to you is probably for the best. On Wednesday the 15th, she goes skiing with her parents at Mt. Bleu in Lawrence. There, possibility seizes her:
"Met 2 little guys from Chile. They are probably in 7 or 6 grade.Then, disaster. Terri rides up the ski-lift with a "Dennis from Leawood," and, in the great tradition of romantic comedies:
Asked one if the could speak english, he said yes. Asked where are you from, he said Chile. Asked what are ya doing up here, he said living.
There was one real darling one who noticed me. The cute one raced me down the slopes, talked to me and stuff like that."
"I fell off. Figures I would do something like that. Rode up to the top with a hunk but got off halfways!"Terri's February is not as rich culturally as her January was. Still, '72 shines through. Terri stays up late watching the Olympics and Ice Station Zebra ("pretty good but nothin like Where Eagles Dare." Detestable Patti gets a shag haircut ("it looks o.k. but I liked it long").
"Mom told me a belief of hers. There is no HELL. We get enough of it here on earth."Terri rarely lingers on such dark thoughts. Instead, she is quick to return to her great subject: the politics of friendship and romance.
"Michelle is madly in love with Pat L. and vice versa. Leah and Jack still love one another and Kathy B. is hated by all. Patti still hates me and vice versa."Shocking Detail:
"After I read it I busted into tears and then I finally realized I have some dear friends. I walked to my locker. As I walked I came to Mary H. I was in tears ... Mary told me I have more friends than just Patti."Touchingly, over the next few days, other friends declare for our diarist Terri. Rosemary begins writing to her, and Amy gives her "the sweetest letter" on Friday the 25th. ("It was gray with bees and flowers on it.")

love the updates and all the "drama". I hope this doesn't get sexy later, Terri's a good girl, damn it!
RE: Proud Voyeur
She's a high school sophomore whose closest brush with romance is a couple of Chilean pre-pubes. No, I don't think he's holding back the sexy.
