När jag var tonåring sa jag alltid att jag skulle spara mina dagböcker så att min eventuella dotter skulle få läsa dem någon gång och förstå att mamma också har varit tonåring. Det fallierade. Jag slängde allihop tidigare i vår. Och tur var väl det. Men jag hittade en när jag var hos mamma och pappa häromveckan som jag stoppade ner i handväskan – det här blir pinsamt men jag kan väl citera några småroliga saker som jag tänkte när jag var 17… bara för att det är roligt.
Vi får nog ta en dag i taget för det var värst vad jag krafsade ner på den tiden.
Violent Smile-loggan är från min första blogg, eller ”nätdagbok” som det hette då. Kaffet, godisbiten och killen kan jag inte förklara, men de svartvita flickorna är Alisha’s Attic och bilden längst ner på fiskarna har Linda ritat till mig på någon tråkig lektion på gymnasiet…

”Lyssnar lite på Toppen… denna låten är ganska okej. Smash Mouth – All Star… men jag gillar inte den där Christina / Genie in a Bottle… för den suger” Hon tror att hon är Britney Spears – hur man nu kan vilja göra det. Inget spår av Geri Halliwell här inte.”
