YEEEEE-HAAAA!! I'M IN LOVE!!
Today, I took my Algebra exam.
Called Lisa to congrat her on graduating. Ain't I sweet?
THEN-I called Buz. Told him today was my last day. He thinks I'm gonna be a senior! Somehow, we started talking about walks in the park, pic-nics. Then we both agreed that we must "get together" sometime for a pic-nic!! (And a, as he put it, "walk in the woods"). He said since he's with the radio station, he isn't suposed to do that. But he said maybe we would anyway! I'm so excited!! He called me "Sweetheart" again!

Friday June 2, 1978

Today was okay. But not great. Bombed little kids bus with water balloons. Went shopping. Saw Andy's new album. Mom wouldn't buy it for me, so I had the lady hold it for me till next week.
Called Buz. He was sleepy. Now he says he's not sure when he'll be at the CPR dancathon. He's gonna let me konw Sunday. He has to work then.
Stacey came over. Lisa came over.
Went to the high school graduation. It's probably the last time I'll ever see Joe.
Here's the music menu with Buster's name. If he's at the dance Tue. instead of Mon, I'll croak. Cuz I can't go Tue.

Saturday, June 3, 1978

Today was alright. Sat around. Lisa came down. Listened to Buster. Didn't call him, cuz I'm gonna do that tomarrow. I pray he'll be there sometime Monday night. I want to see him again sooo bad. And he even sounds a bit anxious to see me! I just hope I can keep calm, and not get sick!
I stayed all night at Lisa's. She gave me a whole bunch of John Travolta pics.

(Buster on air 8-10 Cubs - 1:15)

Pretty good day. Lisa wanted me to go swimming with her, but I didn't wanna, so I didn't! I was ready to watch my Cub game, but they had a dumb basketball one on instead! I listened to it on the radio. We won 6-4.
Had porkchops on grill. Weather was beautiful.
When Buz came on at 8, I called him. He told me about his day. He ran 3 miles! I said that he must be in good shape. What an understatement! He plans to be there at 11 tomarrow night. But he says to call just to be sure, cuz he "doesn't want to miss me this time"! Isn't he darling? I can't wait to see him!

(KZ Dance at Poison Apple

Sign said "the cute Buster Bradley"!!)

Today was all one big dream! Buz is on 3-8 this week. Said he'd be there at 10. But we were early & so was he! The way he bounces to the music is so cute! We leaned against the bar & talked about everything! Ma got lost, so we could "be alone." We both wore short sleeves & our arms were rubbing! He had his hand on my shoulder. Introduced me to Charlie. Buster told me to drop by the station sometime. He also hinted about playing tennis and a movie! Mom really approves of him! That guy is wonderful! Diary, he is my "dream man." You should have seen me float out of that place! He's gonna get me an official KZ 93 shirt! He touched me, I touched him! It was grand! He told me HE was nervous! Do you believe it?

Tuesday, June 6, 1978

(Go to Jacksonville with Mom)

Strange day! Got a flat tire on way down. Weird guy picked us up & took us to a station. Got that taken care of. Arrived 2 hours late! I made me & Buster matching bracelets. They're leather. They say "Buster," and have a foot and a music note. I'll mail it to him tomarrow! It was too cool to swim. Missed all of Buster! Shit!

MORE ABOUT YESTERDAY: (night)
I gave him my I.V.C. Greyghost Victory button. He seemed to like it.
He had on off-white pants (the way they fit was GR-8!) a green V-neck shirt with 3 buttons (none of which were buttoned!) His chest looks gorgeous! He is beautiful! It felt good when he touched my shoulder & arm! So, I touched him back! I'm in love!

Wednesday, June 7, 1978

Today wasn't bad. Not bad. Went shopping with Sandy. Mailed Buster the bracelet.

He's become even sweeter since I saw him Monday. He was wondering why I didn't call him yesterday. So I told him about my day. ALL OF IT! He wanted to know how I felt, etc. We would have talked all night long, if I wouldn't have said I better let him go! That guy is a lover!!
Went up to Stacey's for awhile in the evening.
Watched Burt Reynolds host the Tonight Show.
I'm madly in love!

Thursday, June 8, 1978

Good. Went shopping. Got Andy's new album, and neat AM-FM radio!!
Called Buster. He said he really likes the bracelet, and the poems I sent him! He said he showed the other guys at the station & they liked them too! He was wearing it tonight! He told me he used to be a d.j. in Indiana when he was 17 and went by the name "Doc Emmery." Emmery is his middle name. Kinda cute huh? He demonstrated how he used to havta yell. He thanked me a million times. He says he hangs stuff like that around his apartment where he can see it when he ain't usin' it. I learn something new about him every day.

Friday, June 9, 1978

Mom was gone from 9-3 selling crafts in Bartonville. I wrapped with friends all day.
Of course, I talked to Emmery. He said he had an ice cream sundae today. I said not to feel bad cuz I had i.c. bars. He said I didn't have anything to worry about getting fat. I "look great." Isn't he sweet? I told him aobut my new radio & played it for him on the phone. He sang "Fun, fun, fun" for me! He told me that he did his laundry today. Isn't that thrilling? He always tells me everything!
Great wheather we're having! So far my summer is going WONDERFUL!

Saturday, June 10, 1978

Pretty nice day.
Called Buster. He said I was his first caller. I asked him if he could join us for a pic-nic in the park tomarrow. He said he couldn' cuz he's going back home to Indiana to visit his folks. He thanked me for the invitation and said maybe another time.
Went to Shore Acres with Bob, Sharolyn & Chad. They're gonna get a season pass & put me on it.
Stayed up & watched Saturday Night Live. It was great.

Sunday, June 11, 1978

Today was okay, but not very thrilling. Sundays always are. Watched a Cub game. We beat the Padres 7-4. Now we're back in 1st place.
Me & Lisa goofed around for awhile.
Andy Gibb was on the Midnight Special this morning.
The weather is hot.
My hair is getting long.
My room is messy again.
Isn't this diary exciting? Ha, ha! Man, I haven't missed one day in this stinking thing! Someday I'll look back at it and say, "What a waste of time that was!!"

Monday, June 12, 1978

(Cubs beat Reds 3-2)

Nice day. Went swimming with Shar and Chad. I'm on season pass now. I got pretty tan!
Talked to my sweetie. He talked to me in his "Fred the duck" voice. What a sweetie! We talked about his trip to Indiana, swimming, my electricity. I love him! I've never felt this way about anyone in my whole life!
Our electricity went out at 15 till 1. And they fixed it at 7.
Buster wanted to know if I'm naturally dark. He says he's just "naturally white." I don't care if he's naturally purple, I love him anyway! SUCH A FOX!!

Tuesday, June 13, 1978

(7:00 Cubs vs. Reds - 31)

Today, I sat around and watched t.v. all day. Got 2 letters.
Called my lover. He said he sat around the pool trying to get a tan all day. I asked him if he has a picture of himself I could have to get put on a T-shirt. He said yes, and that he'll mail it to me! He wants one made for him too! Ain't that great?! Now the whole world will be able to see what my baby looks like! And I'll have my own pic of him to boot! I just hope that the pic his sends is as cute as he is!
Got grades Science: A-, Typing B+, English C, Algebra D
I PASSED!!!!

Wednesday, June 14, 1978

(called me "m'dear")

Went shopping. Got a new Cub hat, magazine, matching T-shirts for me & Buz.
I talked to him for quite awhile tonight. He said they got the results back from the ratings, and they were "very good." So, Charlie is Strohing a party at their apartment. He told me tonight that him & Chuck share one out there by Willow Knolls. They've been good friends for 3 years. He's gonna mail me the pic tomarrow. He has a real good one that was taken in February. He wants it back though cuz it's the only one he has. I think it's sweet of him to let me use it! I want to get my own copy made of it to. I think I have found the right guy!!!!!

Thursday, June 15, 1978

Not a very good day.Went to Pepe Taco. Then Tack & Duds, then the mall. Got new Levis.
He didn't mail the pic. He promises to tomarrow. He agrees that when I go to Ark. this summer, that we can write back & forth. I asked him if he could go to the Rodeo Sunday, but he's going to a staff party to celebrate the high ratings. He said that I was late in calling him tonight. I was the 6th caller! ha, ha! He's told everyone at the station about me, cuz Hi was teasing tonight. But I've decided not to call him tomarrow.
I'm spending the night at Lisa's. She called Hi and told him we were "Parterring."

Friday, June 16, 1978

(Shelly's Slumber Party Didn't go. Who did?)

Today was stinky. I got 2 hours of sleep (at the most). Laid around catching up on a few Z's. (not many!!)
I didn't get any mail at all. Isn't that raunch?
Watched Bat-man. Big deal.
Had roast & potatoes for supper. Yummy!
Watched a somewhat spooky movie called "Terror in a Wax Museum."
Organized my desk and junk drawer.
I don't want to go to Arkansas this summer. I can't stand it. It's no fun at all. Just sitting around!

Saturday, June 17, 1978

(CPR telethon C&T on a show)

Pretty good. Talked to Buz. He's been very busy lately & hasn't mailed me the picture. So, I told him we'd drop by and get it. He had it sitting on the front desk where I would see it. He dedicated a song to me. The pic is really cute, but you can't see his mustache very good.
Chad is in the hospital. He has pneumonia in one lung. We visited him. I hope he gets better real soon! Poor lil' guy.
Daryl & Toni were on a show called "ABC Presents Tomarrow's Stars." They just talked. Pooh didn't have his hat on & Toni's hair was all slicked back & looked bad!
Watching telethon. At midnight they present the prizes for the KZ dancathon. Maybe Buz will be on it! HE WAS. HE STOLE THE SHOW!!

Sunday, June 18, 1978

Today was fun for a Sunday. We went up to Unca Don's. Boy, what a messy trailer they have! Makes me cringe!
Then we went to the Rodeo. Lisa came too. A couple of guys got hurt and had to be rode off in an ambulance.
We found the ultimate place to skateboard! Out back on the black top they just laid for the new houses! It is literally SKATEBOARD HEAVEN.
I'm lying here staring at my pic of Buster, and oh what a gorgeous man he is! He was sooo cute on the show last night! I've never loved anyone like I do him. I want him so bad, it hurts! If I don't control myself, the next time I see him, I'm gonna hug his guts out! I LOVE BUSTER!!

Monday, June 19, 1978

Today wasn't bad altogether. We took his pic up to the T-shirt place. Saw Pick at Venture. She gave me an address to write to her at camp.
Talked to sweetie about shirts. He will trade me it for a KZ 93 one. We talked about lotsa stuff. Like this summer will be a bummer, cuz he's gonna be here & I'll be there. But says we'll get together before I go.
Went to church with ma for her home extension meeting. I brought my radio with, of course!
Came home and did my doodle art.

Tuesday, June 20, 1978

Strange day. Went to K-mart. Got a John Travolta doll. Played it with Lisa. It rained a bit. We fixed up the basement really neat. I was up at her house when a stupid slut took off on my bike! I filled dad in on it, and he helped me get it back. But now it's all yucky!
Called lover boy. We talked real long tonight. About stuff like my bike, shirts, and other stuff. His fave shirt is the cute one he wore when I saw him 6-5. He also loves to wear football jerseys. Bet he would look super hunky in one! Before we said, "Bye," he said, "Call me back anytime, hun!" I think he really enjoys talking to me. I do sure do love talking with him. We got "carried away" tonight. Went up to Stacey's for a couple hours this evening.

Wednesday, June 21, 1978

One word for today -- D-U-L-L. I really didn't do much. Me & Lisa played in our "apartment." Didn't get no mail. Left over spegetti for supper.
Buster was in a bad mood today. He said something about the exterminator coming to his place. And it being a mess, and Charlie not doing any work, and he's been at the station doing "research" where they call people & see what kinda music they listen to & stuff like that. All in all, it WAS NOT a good talk we had tonight. But I'll except it, becuz we all have our bad days, don't we?

Thursday, June 22, 1978

Today was much better. Went shopping (again!) Got gr-8 Jon Travolta poster, and fun game called "water-works." One letter. Andy Gibb was on Dinah. What a fox!
Sweetie was back to his usual, adorable self tonight. He said that he was "mad at the world yesterday." He had "4 or 5 little problems that all get on his nerves at once." I said, "I thought maybe you were getting tired of me calling every night." He said, "Oh, NO, of course not!!!!" And he said he'd try to play some of my favorite songs. I was his 3rd caller. "Not bad," he said, "You're in my top 5!" ha, ha. He also said that he was sorry he was like that last night. He himself said it was, "just one of those bad days." What a guy! I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love.

Friday, June 23, 1978

Not a bad day either. In order to see Grease, I had to cash in a bunch of pennies. Went with Lisa to see it. It was real good. John's a hunk! Great actor! Gr-8 movie. Got one letter, one tape. My talk with Buz wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either. I was his first caller. He hasn't seen Grease yet. He played the song I requested. He was out today at Bradley Park walking around looking for winners. I tried hard to be an instant winner, but I didn't make it. Maybe tomarrow. Lisa is staying all night.

Saturday, June 24, 1978

hi: 90 lo:67
Not too shabby. Called tweetie. He was in a good mood, but thinks he's getting a touch of stomach flu. Poor baby. He sang, "Good afternoon Dear Julie" to me. I really love that guy. I know he must like me pretty much cuz he tells me everything he does, and he also tells everyone about me!
Went to shore acres from 7-9 with Stacey.
Didn't do much else.
Watched a repeat of Saturday Night Live.

Sunday, June 25, 1978

hi: 93 lo: 74
Today I got up at about 10:30. At 1:30, Stacey came & got me. We went to a fish store. Then came back to her house. I made an anklet. We ate hamburger & corn on the cob for supper, watermelon for dessert. Played Battleship, backgammon, monopoly. Made popcorn, drank sodie. We're now listening to an original recording of Orson Welles' recording of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds broadcast in 1938. It is really neat!
Humongus hail fell early this afternoon.

Monday, June 26, 1978

High: 88 Lo: 75
Today was nice. The temp was HOT. We went shopping. Got 2 new shirts, "junque" bag, baskin Robin's Kissing potion.
Called Charlie to see if I could talk to "Tigger" early, but he wasn't around. So, I talked to him when he got there. I reminded him that I would be getting the shirts next week. I told him I had to see him before I leave. He said, "For Sure!" I asked him to dedicate a song to Unca Don cuz he's in the hospital. So he said, "This song is for Uncle Don in St. Francis hospital." Ma called and thanked him. I'm glad he talked sweet to her! Really organized my room and it look GR-8, if I do say so myself!

Tuesday, June 27, 1978

High: 89 Low: 65
Today was alright. Too hot to play outside. Had horrible cramps from my period. Oh did they hurt! Went to doctors for a blood test. Stopped on way to drop off Cliff's wedding gift.
When I talked to "Tigger," I told him that Charlie reminds me of one of those Buddah's. He said, "Yeah he does, but we won't tell him that." I asked if he'd like some lettering on the back of his t-shirt. He wants it to say, "KZ93's Buster from 6-10 P.M." His day to go out to parks & stuff is Thursdays. They were out at Detweiler the other day and noone was there. I told him the next time he's out this way, to stop by. He said, "I will!"
I cleaned out my whole closet! It ain't ever been this neat before!!

Wednesday, June 28, 1978

Today could have been much better! I went to the mall with ma & Aunt Dot. All I got was the record "Feels So Good." Man is it hot out! Got a letter from Pick at camp. Worked on my Clark Gable needlepoint.
Didn't have much of a talk with tweetie. He had someone on hold. But he was so darling about it. When I asked if he wanted me to get off, he said, "No that's okay, I can talk for a minute." So, I chatted for a sec. Then before we said bye, he said, "Thanx for calling anyway hun, I'll talk to ya later, okay?" Tomarrow, him and Maria are cruisin' the town with prizes. I might've seen him, but ma is going to go to a meeting and can't take me! Just as well, I can't stand Maria Gilmoore.

Thursday, June 29, 1978

High -- 88 Low -- 70 (OUR SIXTH ANNIVERSARY)
Not bad day. Mom went with Aunt Dot to that meeting. I just goofed off. Answered pen-pals. Listened to records.
Had a beautiful talk with my baby. I asked if there was anyone on hold on another line. He said, "Yeah, hold on. I'll get rid of her." It was a 12 year old girl who calls every night with a long list of requests. I told him about our anniversary. He said, "Jeeminy! Has it been that long!?" He always wants to know what I think of differetnt stuff that he said over the air. I just keep tellin' him, "Yeah, that was cute!" And he keeps on sayin', "Ya think so?" Too bad I couldn't have seen him today! Oh well, our moment will come next week! I wanna kiss him sooo much!

Friday, June 30, 1978

Today was a nightmare in itself! The lady called about our t-shirts. I heard mom saying over the phone, "So the picture is ruined?" Horror swept my hole body! The story goes as follows: At the place where they send the pic to get the transfers made, they somehow stamped ink on the front of Buster's picture! So, not only was his pic recked, the transfers were too! Fortunately, they had made a slide before the pic got stamped. They're replacing the pic and making new transfers. But the problem was, how to tell Buster! I didn't want him to know about the ink all over the only pic of himself he has, and it's a publicity one for the station! So, we went to Widmer office supplies to see if they had anything to get the ink off. They tried all kinds of fancy removers, and nothing worked! Then, I was REALLY upset and nervous! We went over to the station in case he might've been there so I could explain things to him. Of course, he wasn't there, so I left him a message asking him to call me. We came home. I looked at the pitiful ink smeared pic. Then, using my brain, I put a little nail polish remover on it, and IT CAME RIGHT OFF! Buz never called. He didn't get my message. So I called him. I told him I got the picture back ok, but the transfers were screwed up & it would take 2 more weeks. He said it was alright. I was about to cry, and I guess he could tell, cuz he said, "Julie, what's the matter? Is something worrying you?" He's so sweet! I told him that even though I wouldn't be able to give him the stuff next weeek, I want to see him before I go to Arkansas. He says we will try to arrange something! That guy is so nice to me, I can't stand it! I mean, of course I can stand it, but, well you know what I mean!
Uncle Don came over.
Got a thing from the Andy Gibb fan club in the mail.
It got pitch black out and rained today.
Cow, Fish, Gordy, & Sandy dropped by this evening.
My thigh muscles are killing me!
