This third, and probably final, installment of Awesomely Bad High School Diary truly embarrasses me. It's not the handjob talk, or the "fingering", or the boners, or any of that. It's the political anti-war poetry that has me squirming. I posted it because it makes me laugh really hard, but for the first time ever, I'm cringing.
I'm returning the diaries to the memory trunk, but I might update later, because I know there's something about a botched handjob in there, I just can't find the page right now.
In Volume 1 Becky made a metaphor about love and fish and boats and then crowned herself best poet in the history of the universe, and then dumped Brad for Andy because he could draw a skull like nobody's business.
Next, in Volume 2 Becky invented the "first base threesome" (Thanks, Mandy!), left Andy for Kevin, and all her friends have bowling ball holes for vaginas. (And thanks for that, Carolyn!)
Now, Volume 3: Becky's metaphorical boat encounters some rough seas, due to bad weather caused by mono and chicken pox. Becky and Kevin, also fish in this mixed metaphor, contemplate putting their fins down each other's fish pants.
My commentary in red.
Go:
Kevin has mono. He said he got it from the air, but he's so full of shit. I can't believe he scammed on me. He's mad at me now because I think he scammed on me.
Poem for Kevin:
Procrastination
Feeling inspired (Oh Jesus. Again?)
Waiting for the call
Can't concentrate
Don't let it end
Distractions from you
Call Courtney after
hang up with me
1/2 hour ago (Yes, that's a fraction. Jealous, Maya Angelou?)
Call back please
It won't hurt.
Why not?
Help me.
Trapped.
Isolation.
Solitude.
Nobody. (Could you clarify please? Are you with people right now?)
Alone. (Oh, ok. Got it. Thanks.)
This disease
is tearing
us
apart. (Yeah, AIDS called and wants you to shut the fuck up.)
Five days later...
Ok, me and Kevin didn't break up. I was just making a big deal out of nothing. He was just ignoring me because he was obsessed with football. He's practically over his mono now and I want to kiss him so bad but I can't unless I use Saran Wrap over his face or something.
Mr. Jeffs called me in for suspected plagiarism and I would have got a zero if he had bought the Cliff Notes and checked but he didn't so I got a B+.
Guess what? I got chicken pox. This is the most vomitous experience ever. I just sit here all day, and at this moment there are non-chicken pox healthy people dancing on Club MTV. Fuck them! I think chicken pox affects my emotions because when I look in the mirror I get soooooo depressed. Kevin sent me a teddy bear in a basket with 3 balloons tied to it. This is the first get well package I've ever got. I was so happy when I got this. I don't know how to thank him. I want to try to just give him a hand job but I don't know if that would make him uncomfortable or not.
Kevin just measured his dick on the phone with me. He kept on saying it was 7 inches and I said I didn't believe him and he said "Ok, I'll measure it. Erect or normal?" so I chose erect, and he said, "How do I make it erect?" and I said, "Come on, don't tease me! All guys know how to make it erect. Give yourself a hand job!" and he said, "Ok, I'll make it erect, but it's hard to make it erect on the phone. I'll call you back later and tell you how big it gets and the difference in size between regular and erect."
Saddam is insane. Today he dropped missiles on Israel. This is NOT GOOD. I'm too young to die. They shot down more than 3 American planes. I broke my diet when I heard this. Good thing Saddam has no nuclear bombs! (I HOPE!!!) Why do we have such fucking insane leaders??? I think Beth did ecstacy.
Here's a poem I wrote in my free period today:
WAR! (Oh no. *Pulls hoodie over head, yanks drawstrings tight*)
Traffic stops
Children have nightmares
News programs invade our thoughts
Men in green, laden with sand have chapped lips
and at home...blood pressure rises as hairlines recede.
Big George is mad because Saddam took his Oreos. (I want to go back in time and give my mom an abortion.)
When he threatens a punch,
Saddam throws sand in his face. (Maybe I should just go way back, and sink the Mayflower. You know, to be sure.)
Big George takes his missiles and throws them far, (All the way to the "Iraq teeter-totter". Why not. *shrug*)
while Saddam runs away crying.
they both poise their nuclear weapons
and prepare
to kill each other.
The power lays in the hands
of two children
having fun
with their
bombs. (Get it? Because they are soooooo immature. Saddam and Bush both need to grow up. Maybe I'll make a mixed tape about it. I'll put "Give Peace a Chance" on it, and also "In Your Eyes" because that song rules.)
Next time we're alone I'm going to give Kevin a hand job. I want to so badly. I don't want him to finger me. I'm scared he's going to, even though I'll be pulling his hand away. I hope not, I'm praying not. He could so overpower me if he wanted, like when he sits on my face with a pillow and I can't breathe. He's really strong.
*****
PS: Still really embarrassed about the Saddam/Oreos poem.

"In Your Eyes" is actually a song ABOUT a handjob gone wrong. Think about it.
OMG! Too funny! You were right on, though, with war making blood pressures rise and hairlines recede!
He sat on your face w/ a pillow? What the heck kind of s & m freaky shit do you like? Does he fart while he does that too? B/c you know, that would be a total turn on.
"I want to go back in time and give my mom an abortion."
If you think about that sentence too hard you're brain will explode. Or at least that's what happened to me.
Apparently you were thinking about hand jobs quite a bit. And also this line?
"Big George takes his missiles and throws them far"
seems to be a pretty good metaphor for what happens at the end of a hand job. Just sayin'.
And by "you're" I mean "your", of course.
God, I'm such a nerd to re-comment, correcting my poor grammar.
I'll be in the hall giving myself a wedgie, if anyone's looking.
"They shot down more than 3 American planes. I broke my diet when I heard this."
Judy Fucking Blume has nothing on you, sister. Nothing!
YA fiction here you come! Long live fingering in the USA!
Whoo!
You win the Butt Cheek Clencher award for today.
This:
"Children have nightmares
News programs invade our thoughts
Men in green, laden with sand have chapped lips
and at home...blood pressure rises as hairlines recede."
Made snot come out of my nose, and I think I tooted a little.
Your poems are so lovely.
They make me want to juggle chainsaws with my tonsils.
*sings*
"Sit on my face!
And smother me to death!
I'll sit on your face!
And give you a hand job!
Sit on my face!
But don't think about putting that finger in THERE!!!"
You've inspired me to great things.
At least you...kept up with politics?
I wonder if sitting on a pillow on someone's face is considered adult foreplay or just poor manners. Research assignment!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha! -The hand job talk fucking KILLS ME!
I must say, your Poetry for Peace took me back! I couldn't get away from the News, and I think I had an ulcer the whole time! My favorite cousin was over there (marine), the "Love of my LIIIIIIIIIIFE" was over there- bad times. (Incidentally, if I find any of the god awful poetry I wrote about "The Love of My LIIIIIFE," I'll post it just to make you feel better about this;)
BAD. SOOOOOO BAAAAAD! -Now pull yer hood off, funny lady! Handjobsforeveryone!
First lemme just say that a hand job is a perfectly acceptable way of saying thank you. Second I thought I was the only one who dated a guy that sat on my face??
OMG!!! You can't stop now! You must keep putting up your diary stuff! I cannot live without it! I must keep reading!
I really really wish I'd kept a diary now.
Yessssss! I forgot about "scamming"--thank you so much for bringing it back into my life! I'm totally going to go scam tonight. Even if it's just with my dog, I don't care. I gotta get my scam back on. Have you ever done the show "Mortified"? Cuz you absolutely have to.
i like how the political angst paragraph ends with "i think Beth did ecstacy."
i love that your bf measured his weiner for you. i had such a boring hs experience, with ZERO handjobs or dicktalk over the phone.
Did you throw in, "I think Beth did ecstasy" so you wouldn't forget?
You gotta find your Ode to a Botched Hand Job.
Fucking HILARIOUS! You've inspired me to go find my old diary filled with cringeworthy poetry... Mine will be a lot tamer though - can anyone say 'FRIGID'!
Don't worry... I made up for it in the years that followed!
Say 'erect' once more. I didn't get quite enough.
Also....solid lead-in to 'I think Beth did ecstacy.'
"the makings of a star" is what i call these posts. i also call them mind bendingly funny. see also: "i'm trying not to snort."
ps what a cute face dhsd is making. all snuggly.
How does the teacher NOT own the Cliff Notes? That teacher sucked.
wow. you were SO COOL! i was always afraid to write the truth in my diary when I was in high school. my mom was a spy.
Kurt: Oh brother, if that wasn't a hard lesson learned. NEVER look down the hole. A watched pot never boils!
Eva: My hair never fully recovered from Desert Storm.
Kellie: No, I did NOT like when he sat on me with the pillow. Sometimes it's bearable if you make a little air-cave between your mouth and the carpet though. Let me know if you need survival tips, smothering is my specialty.
Jen O: no, it's easy, because I saw Back to the Future like 50 times. What you do is, you bring a photo of you, and when you start to disappear in the photo, be careful because soon you'll start to fade in real life too! It's simple science.
Mandy: Are you there Vagina? It's me, Fingers.
Tony: I hate that poem so hard I want to go back and give the alphabet's mom an abortion.
Ed: Aw, looks like I'm not the only poet here today, Eh? EH??
The IMJ: If I didn't know Monty Python, that would have made for a slightly more frightening song.
OWO: It's play-torture between kids, and a very clear red flag that the participants are too young to be getting or giving any sort of "job". Also, did I just write that? I'm fucking old.
Mona: Hand jobs are one of my favorite funny things. Did LOYL and your cousin make it out ok? Handjobsforeveryone.com will be my next website, as soon as my family finds this one and I have to light the whole blog on fire and run.
SAK: A handjob is like a handshake, only one hand is a penis, and you shake for way longer. That's all! So innocent! I'm sure they close business deals that way in some countries even.
Stephanie: Hmmm. I scoured it and the rest is angry and miserable. But there's the trunk. there's always more stuff in the trunk...
Shine: I'm really happy I never burned these like I thought I would. They are ridiculous and embarrassing and awesome.
HHH: I dont know that show, i'll look it up. I'm scamming right now, with a cookie and peppermint tea. I'm totally scamming on my dinner with this cookie. That's how you scam when you get old.
Alice: Technically, really, there were no handjays for me in high school. I dont remember exactly, but I probably touched it like I was petting a turtle's head.
Kate: I think it was like a "Oh, I forgot to tell you, diary! Beth did ecstacy! Now, back to the war stuff..."
Karls: The prude, innocent stuff is the best though. Once the sex starts, it's all boring.
Ben: rrrrrrrrectarectarectarectarectaretcaretcarect.
beckaleckadingdong: dhsd is so cute. She's an old lady, so snuggly and sweet. I shall miss her very much.
Jules: He owned them, I'm sure. He was just trying to scare me. Lesson learned. PARAPHRASE from Cliff. DON'T copy directly.
Chiefy: So was mine. And my brother too. In the diaries, on almost every page there's little "Hi mom!"s and "Hi Pete!"s. And then I wrote things about all-night drugs orgies and then followed it up with, "Did I scare you, mom?" I don't know why I wrote all those things if I knew they read them.
All I'm going to say is that I'm really, really glad I didn't read this at work because there are real live tears. Your poetry is so poignant. All I ever wrote was this:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your friend is hotter
Don't touch my boob
Ok, so I just now wrote that, but it TOTALLY describes my relationship when I was 15 with Travis.
You had me at "chapped lips".
Also, I can't believe Beth did ecstasy.
I thought "vomitous" was pretty literary. And those guys probably DO have really chapped lips. I think that's called insight.
I still have all my high school diaries stashed away too. Yikes. Why did I do that? Why didn't I just burn them? But now it's too late. Now they are historical documents and I'm pretty sure they are protected under the Patriot Act or something. (Hmm, I might have to check my sources on that last part.)
oh my god. Bitch, it is 1 in the morning, my house is silent but for my always sunny marathon in the background, and my riotous laughter at everything. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
I have had a totally shitty week, and you have just improved it TENFOLD. At least.
"Are you there Vagina? It's Me, Fingers." will probably win you the Nobel Prize for Funny. And I thought this was my year for sure.
I think you are way too harsh with yourself. sometimes when we're young we see straight through cliche' into the truth and then make a poem out of it, not realizing that the truth is usually a cliche' in itself, and double so because it is once removed from the first cliche', which is why poetry usually sucks anyway.
Somewhere, amidst all of this, is a 'Handjob FAIL' poster.
I'm hoping it's not the one with the dog in it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH. I love how the war talk switches to "I think Beth did ecstasy" in one paragraph. Awesome.
I would be embarrassed of that too. I found a super good one I wrote about 'Being sick of the Fucking Life and my shitty house...'...
My parents have the nicest house ever. I have no idea what I was talking about.
I copped out on the posting of my own shit. I just couldn't do it. I found some super embarrassing notes I wrote Jeremiah when I was 15 and never gave to him...and yet kept. Maybe I knew we would somehow wind up together years later? Hmmm!??
Answer me comment box...God dammit. Hold me!
What? I didn't hear about the oreo thing. I thought maybe our response was a little disproportionate, but now I see we had no choice. And again, Kevin's a tool. I totally would have cum in your hand. That is, if I made it to the part where you touched it.

Damnit! I don't know how to use your blog. Is there an instruction page for morons? Preferably one with pictures and stuff. Maybe a little cartoon mascot that says reaffirming things about how people like you even though you're not as smart as they are. Think of it like a handicap ramp for your blog.
I am so glad I burned my diaries... yours are much more fun to read.
Once again, I read these out to my husband, who is a non-blog-appreciater, and he about pissed his pants.
THIS is fantastic.
Why haven't I read the others before now???
(goes now to read chapters 1 and 2)
Holy. Shit.
I nearly wet myself laughing.
I will be blog-stalking you all weekend until I've read everything.
Consider yourself warned and pre-stalked.
1. If your diaries are made into a movie, your anguished scream of "this disease is tearing us apart!" will most certainly be the centerpiece of the trailer.
2. Are you aware that you inadvertently invented the dental dam in your imagination? You lost tons of money by not pursuing that.
3. The come/cum debate rages on even today. I've concluded that it depends on context.
4. The single most disturbing thing in all three chapters of your diaries is that you used to watch Club MTV.
Ha ha ha!! Too funny. And that last bit about the hand job cracked me up. There needs to be an instruction manual on this stuff.
The zipper... ouch.
Dude, that poem's a masterpiece! Don't be hating on it...
And I just caught your update, and gracious! At least you didn't give him a blowjay...you know, because of pubes.
Giving handjobs at that age is traumatic.
It's like fishing through a jungle of pubes for NOTHING.
Thank god no one gives them anymore.
They don't, right?
I hope you have overcome your fear of being fingered.
Also, thank you to porn for teaching us to wax/shave off all our hair. No more tangles.
This makes me so glad I burned my journals years and years ago. I'm glad you didn't burn yours; "I want to kiss him so bad but I can't unless I use Saran Wrap over his face or something" is going to carry me through the weekend!
Justy: The Roses are Red poem was a super handy resource in high school too! Really easy to rhyme, and everyone knows rhyming is essential to good poetry. Thanks, Blue!
Miss Y:The chapped lips part...I actually remember writing that, and thinking that maybe I was bringing to light a lesser known yet equally bothersome downfall of war. Note: I HATED chapped lips. I'm wearing chapstick right now.
Cynthia: Yes! See, Miss Yvonne? Insight. Exactly. Also, I think it's funny that everyone (me included) talks about burning their diaries. Is there no other method of disposal for diaries? Are they like diseased farm animals or the Ring of Sauron?
Amy Kate: I love when you comment! You're funny. When you called me "bitch" I got giggley and blushed, like "Who, me??" and swatted the air with my hand, like an "Aw shucks" gesture. Weird.
Kurts: Nah. It would be a pity Nobel Prize then. For effort. Then when I went home they'd award you the real one, and I'd discover that mine was made of gold foil covered chocolate.
Josh: Or maybe when we're young we use such bad cliches that nobody else would dare touch them for their cliche stank, thus making them not really a cliche anymore. Like they are so cliche they hit the end of the universe and double back and return along the orbit of originality. Mmm this peyote tempura sure hits the spot.
Mooooog: I think the poster would be the shot of a button and zipper of jeans, still buttoned and zipped, with a girl's hand balled into a fist with just one finger stuck down there.
Belle: I know, like it was so important I just couldn't wait. My best friend read this last night and texted me, "I don't think Beth really did ecstacy. She just thought she did."
Erin: Oh, you have to post the Jeremiah notes! That's so cute how you loved him all that time!! It's really a unique love story, you know.
Mayo: I'm laughing because I felt like maybe the handjob PS at the end was overshare and I was going to delete it, and then I realized that would make it sound like you just offered to cum in my hand in the comments section, out of nowhere. Like a receptacle. Then I could respond, "Um....I never said I wanted anyone to cum in my hand, Mayopie, Geez...*Squinty "Can you believe this guy?" eyes*
Mobius: I think maybe I can commence burning now. I've transcribed everything worthwhile. They are heavy with evil, and must be destroyed. I must bring them to Mordor and throw them into the fire. The burden is too great for me, Mobius. Will you accompany me?
Any Kate: Yay husband! Thanks!
Stacie's Madness: Welcome! And thanks! And yes, go catch up. There's so much frenching to catch up on.
Sarah P: Here from Allie, right? I recognize you!! Yes, go, stalk. Have fun. It's a trainwreck.
Wx3: 1) I was thinking the same thing. I need to reuse that line somehow. 2) I know. I had this idea back then that Saran Wrap was the answer to everything. Like if there was Saran Wrap over his penis, it didn't count somehow. kind of like a condom, but condoms were slutty. Saran Wrap is homey and wholesome. 3) My conclusion: Cum as a noun, Come as a verb. 4) Wubba wubba wubba!! (Hooooly shit I didn't even plan that. Where the fuck in my brain was I keeping that piece of memory?)
One Sassy G: I know, kids these days are so lucky with the Internet. The Encyclopedia Brittanica had ZERO entries on handjobs. I thought maybe you just slap it around a bit and presto!! Sadly, no.
Tony: Fucking pubes. They mess me up every time. Getting hooked in my fingernails and my watchband and my Velcro high tops.
Maxie: I've said it before, I can't give a handjob to save my life. No, nobody gives handjobs anymore, besides tweens and hookers. Thank God.
Lemmonex: Also thanks to Johnson & Johnson's detangling spray! Wait...what? We're supposed to shave?? Shit.
Dingo: Everyone burns their diaries, apparently. Was there a global diary bonfire I wasn't invited to?
What a life! Hand jobs and fingering and war and Beth on ecstasy? I never realized how complicated being 14 was.
Man, when war breaks your diet it's time to get some help. From Burger King or somewhere. I'm enjoying your diaries a lot mainly because I have some of my own which are never going to see the light of day because the humiliation would cause an earthquake and every girl I ever knew at age 14 would hunt me down.
Yes, they both made it home in one piece:) (Though LoML turned out to be a major dick)
I dread the day, but at least I'll know what to google!
Oh, you wrote something about someone cumming in your hand? What a coincidence. I'm really not too big on reading. Anyway, I'm sure it was funny.
there's nothing quite as pseudo-macho as measuring your dick on the phone with a girl... I remember my teens years too...
i just read that post out-loud to my co-worker while we ate lunch. we died laughing.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS....but i think you should put them in a book.
I have no words for how sad I am that this over. Well, except for maybe these: FUCK SHIT FUCK SHIT FUCK!!!
I love the use of the word 'vomitous'
