Really fun finding this one--nothing more intimate than reading someone else's diary, which feels almost like an illicit act, perhaps especially when the writer is a young woman the age of 17 or 18, writing in the early 1970s! And written largely in pink marker to boot. The young woman who wrote this was smart and observant and self aware. She was also heavy into musical theatre, going to (Jesus Christ Superstar, on pg. 1) and being in shows, as well as stage managing it seems. Nothing too risque here, but lots of talk of various boys, and getting drunk, and smoking the occasional joint with friends. What perhaps struck me most reading it was the portrait it paints of a pre-digital life. She was constantly writing and receiving letters, to and from friends and boyfriends, expressing feelings. And going to record stores. (On page 1 is a list of records bought that day--Cat Stevens, Neil Young--and those she must buy--Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Rush.) And talking on the phone.  Spans May 4, 1971, which seems to be the end of her junior year, through that September, beginning her senior year. Including talk of proms, class rings, and college applications. This feels like a treasure and a time capsule to me.
