Tuesday,October 4th

7a

I feel like the living dead.I fell asleep crying and now I've got about 12 layers of makeup caked on, but all streaky so I look like one of mum's awful tye-dye shirts.

Urgggg.

I don't feel like washing it off though.

What's the point, I'm just washing it again later tonight.

Ace Gang Meeting

The Ace Gang are taking a vote on what I should do vis-a-vis the Luuurve God situation.

The options:

a) Tell the Luuuurve God not to go.

b)Tell him bravely t go with a quivering lip (not him havng the quivering lip,me having it..leep up).

c)Bog off to London, then New York New York with him and Devil take Lord Sandra will take care of me.

d) Mysterious option d

It's a secret ballot paper,where you put a cross nect to the option you ,I know which is Ellen' because she has ticked everything then crossed it out and ticked everything again.

OK,the result is:one vote for c. (That will be fact,I know it is because she put a cross with a little beard on it).The rest are b',really.I sort of knew that would happen.

I said 'How come no one voted for the mysterious option d?"

Mabs said "What is it?"

And I said "I don't is why it is so mysterious."

Maths

What's the point?

R.E

Who cares?

Lunchtime

Jas had a secret rendezvous with Tom in the alley-way behind the science block.I had to be the guardey-dog -type is the kind of ti-top pal I am.

Actually, since she has decided to let Tom boing off on his elastic band she is getting quite Miss Huffy Knickers...with just a hint of Devil take the hindmost about the gusset even applied a bit of lip school hours! The little she turned her skirt she went off to meet Hunky,I said to her "Are you wating a thong?"and she didn't say hit fiddle with her fringe. Hmmmm.

When Jas came scampering back she said "Oh,Hunky is soo umm,I think I'll love him forever,no matter what happens..."

The bell went and we went back we went back into the Temple of Doom we saw Wet Lindsay slamming into the Sixth Form common ,she was red and scary looking.

I said to Jas "What's the matter with her?Perhaps she tried to wear a hat today and it fell down over her eyes and she realized she had no forehead."

Jas looked a bit owly and tapped her is that all about?

German

Why bother?

French

Qu est ce-que le point?

Afternoon Break,Five's Courts

We just heard from the Bush Telegraph,i.e. Radio Jas,that Robbie has dumped Wet Lindsay .Tom told as that Robbie is deffo skipping off to London town with the band,but he is not taking the Wet Wipe with has escaped from the slimy,slimy girl ! Yesssss! And thriceYessss !

I said "I think you will agree this is a victory in the fight against 's bid for freedom calls for a celebration Viking bison disco inferno with a little added je ne se quois.In honor of the occasion."

So we did the Viking Inferno Dance,but at the end,instead of falling to our knees and yelling "Hooorn!" we yelled 'Duuuuuuuuuuumped!" Which was slightly unfortunate timing, as Octopussy Girl herself and ADM came round the corner.

We sat down quickly and passed ound midget gems.I looked at Wet Lindsay and let a little smile play on my looks could kill I'd be deader than a dead person on dead dead Lindsay had tiny mousey eyes from crying.

ADM was saying"How do you feel?"

Wet Lindsay said really,really loudly so that she was sure we could hear,"Well,to be honest,I let it know,I've sort of encouraged him to think he left me,but it's only to save his pride,really.I mean when I went up to uni for my interview,there were loads of really fit is quite nice-looking, but there are better,hotter boys."

As we got up to go in I looked at her and opened my eyes really wide in an ironic shouted at me "And you can shut up Georgia,you tart!"

How can I shut up if I didn't say anything?What is she going to do now-give me a reprmand for telepathic talking?

4p

When I got in Mum was all cheery and just got a pay a normal house that means better allowances and more food in the house, but in this house it means more aerobics lessons for her.

Mum and Dad were actually dancing in the kitchen out of sheer happiness.

Good Lord.

Dad dipped Mum "Gee, we're going out tonight to celebrate, your choice!"

Mum,still upside down, said "Yea,we can go to that ITALIAN place you like so much" and winked at me.

I know she was trying to be nice and all,but it was making me feel like throwing myself in front of a train.

"No fanks, you go out."

Mum straightened "Are you getting flu?Probably from being out all hours with boys with those short skirts you wear.."

Dad looked at Mum "What boys?And how short DOES she wear her skirts?"

I could feel the start of a big fight so I said "I'm going to take a ." and ran up to my room.

4.05p,Bed

I am so full of poo and merde I can't think straight.

2 Minutes Later

What is it with boys that makes them want to snog me, then leave the country?I am not THAT bad of a snog.

I am actually a quite good snogger and snoggee,I 'd like to think.

23 Minutes Later

I just realized-Dave never answered whether I was a good snog or not.

Huh.

Maybe I should ring him.I've not seen him for days now, which is a bit worrying.

Not that I care for him or anything.

1 Second Later

Much.

3 Minutes Later

He picked up on the third ring.

"Hello?"

"About time you picked eyebrows have grown to the floor while you were not answering your telephone."

"Hi,listen,this isn't a good time-"

I heard a girl in the back ground say "Do you wear y-fronts then?"

"Oh,er,is Emma there?"
He laughed. 'I would be pleasant compared to Gran is here and she's as mad as a hatter."

"She should met my Grandad."

Dave laughed "I've met your those two together could very well cause a national catastrophe."

"She doesn't go round telling everyone she's your girlfriend,does she?"
Dave laughed. "That was bloody brilliant"

"Oh,shut up laughing,it was horrifying."

"But brilliant,you have got to admit."

"Grandad is not once sat on his dentures and told the police a madman broke into his house,attacked him, and then bit him on the arse!"
Dave burst out laughing.

I set the phone down on him.

8 Minutes Later

Typical, I get all comfy in bed,and the phone rings and I'm forced to get it as everyone else has gone out .

I tripped over Angus lurking in ther shadows and he savaged my ankle.

my own CAT hates me.

I picked up the phone "Hullo,House of Death,Gee speaking."

"I'm sorry for laughing,Gee."

"Humph."

"Don't get the hump with me ,Gee, you know how it turns me on."

"What did you want?"
"You rang me."

"No I didn't"

"Yes you did."

"No I did'nt ."

"Yes you didn't"

"I didn't!"
"Did did did !:"

I slammed down the phone on him.

Bloody hell.

12 Minutes Later,Bed

Oh,damn,I did call him first-to ask him if I was a good snogger or not.

Damn damn damn.

2 Minutes Later

Should I ring him back?

I hung up on him,after all...

30 Seconds Later

Went to the phone to call him back,but when I picked up the phone he was already there.

"Hello?"

"Hello?"
"That's odd, I didn't hear it ring."

"It didn't.I just picked up the phone to call you, and you were already on the line."

"Freaky."

"I guess."

There was a pause then he asked "Is there something wrong,Gee?"

5p

Met Dave at my gate.

I don't think I could stand being out and seeing anyone right now,in the state I'm in,i.e, very little makeup,and full of sadnosity and the general pooiness of life.

"Thanks for coming round."

"No Vati has a good shoulder to cry of them,actually."

I led him in to the kitchen.

He sat at the table while I made him some of my special coffee. "No one's home so we can talk safely here."

"Just talk?" and he waggled his eyebrows. It sort of gave me the horn,actually...

I looked at him "i am having a serious crisis."

"What-did you break a nail?Your boyfriend steal your mascara?"

"He's not my boyfriend."

He stopped smiling and got up "He didn't hurt you,did he?"
"No," Dave sat "-Well, yes." Dave moved to stand again so I said quickly "But not like 's London to start cutting an album,proffesionally.."

" he just came and dumped you like Robbie did."

"Yes,exactly like Robbie did."

"It must be in singers' genes, to be rude gits."

"You sing at the club sometimes."

"Yes,but I don't carry a handbag around or snog kangaroos."

I poured the cofffee and sat opposite Dave. "I don't know what I am going to do.I feel like pooing and screaming and throwing up all at the same time."

Dave looked at me a long time "You realy,really like him,don't you?"

"Yes, upon loads upon loads" I slumped forward, arms on the table,and put head in my arms.

Dave thought for a moment then said "if you really want my honest advice,I'd say-tell him how you him you really really like him and don't want him to if he's not the flash git I think he is,he'll stay."

I looked up at Dave "You think he'll stay?"

Dave shrugged "There's a chance."

I reached over and squeezed Dave's hand "Thanks for coming over like this.I didn't know who else to talk to."

"Yes, well, just think of me as one of the girls." Only he said it sort of sadly.

He stood up and kissed me on the cheek."It's getting late.I'll see you luck with...with you know." and he left.

I hope Dave is right, that Masimo will stay.

6p

Phone Rang

It was Masimo."Cara,I am off for meeting with the are having talking about our plans,you are you feeling?"
I said "You know,a bit freaky-deaky."

"Che...

"I mean I ...oh,I don't know how to say it in Italian...but,well,I think it should be Option B on the whole."

In the end (ooer) the Luuurve God said he'd pop round before his meeting to talk to me for al ittle if he can't understand what I am saying,it is still nice of him to come and see me.

7.30p

Sitting outside at the bottom of our garden,in the has put his coat around me and him and we are looking at the stars,winking and blinking .But not giving advice as such.

Masimo was being so sweet to I look at him,I can't believe that he really likes me;he could have anyone he actually,if he goes to London,he probably will.

Masimo said "Georgia,Georgia." and he kissed me softly on the mouth, on on the nose ("He's brave" I up brain !).He was looking hard at me.

"This is for you hard but let me 'elp you."

I was glad to hear that because frankly I needed some 'elp.

He said "This is how is for me.I hav more years than you.I think,yes,it is bene,molto bene,that we have good offer for the band...but,I am man,I am good singer,another band will come."

I started to say "But I-" but he put his finger on my mouth.

"For you,it is big thing because you have not so many you,you are afear that I will be sad not for to go to no,for me is cool."

God,he was nice.I started again "But I-"

He said "Let me finish,then you think more." and I nodded.

Masimo said "I think if I go London,without youme say we will still be going out,you will be unhappy,You will not know where I like big are big attention are like 'me,mem,me' That is is why I like you would not be good if I am busy always away from me,I can say 'I am your man,I will be thinking of you and no one else.' But you will not will say 'What about me,me,me?' I think maybe I will be saving that,for me this time,I will not be going with the that is for me good also.I will have you,and we will know each other,then something else will ,maybe we go to London together.Ciao,bella."

I wanted to weep and was so sort of grown sort of crap.

11 Minutes Later

In Bed

Is Masimo actually going to give up his chance with the Stiffs to be with me?
