From the Middle School Issue (Dec 2000):
Excerpts from My Middle School Diary An exclusive look into the psyche of a middleschooler Gabe Liedman .... Middle School started this week, and things are so different now. Teachers expect a lot more from us, and I suddenly feel like school is serious business. Lots of the girls came back from summer camp with boobs, too, and I can feel myself getting very nervous around them all the time. Gosh, I just feel a real cornucopia of new feelings surging through my body. I guess it's normal, though. I can't wait for my growth spurt, either. Geez, puberty is so exciting.... .... School is so intense. We have a big dance coming up, and I just can't get up the nerve to ask my secret crush. I hope she says yes! Oh, how I'd just jump with joy if I could show up to the big dance with her!.... .... I hope my secret crush slips in the shower tomorrow morning and breaks some ribs.... .... I am finding it harder and harder to deal with all of these changes in me. I miss the good old days when my voice didn't crack every time I got called on in class. I miss not feeling so awkward when I walked around the halls in school.... .... Holy shit! PPPSAT testing started today and I FUCKED it up SO royally! I am NEVER going to get into college now! Oh, God, what did I do? I am going to snort FOUR lines of Adderall before the tests tomorrow, that's for DAMN sure.... .... Going to school every morning is like pulling out my hair, one by one. . . . .... Some jocks made fun of me in the hall today. They're just lucky my gun permit is still pending....
.... I dyed my hair red today, and I felt, like, a charge of electricity run through my soul, or whatever. My So-Called Life is like the only show out there that really speaks to me. I can really identify with Angela's issues, because, like, I feel them too, or something.
.... I can't wait to get out of this place. High School is going to be SO much better. It'll be so good to be around mature people for a change....
