Donna's Thoughts[]
These are the actual entries written in Donna's journal. Misspelled words left as they were spelled.
- (perhaps an entry continued from prior page?) all this crap with.
- I'm so excited to go out with Eric tonight. I have that great pink and yellow dress with those great brown [scratched out word?] sandles.
- WOW!! ...Eric and I went to second base tonight. He was hilarious. He just stared at them like that RCA dog.
- Should have wrapped them up with a bow and given to him........
- ....I'm so funny
- no way
- (pages later...)
- OH, God, I am a tease!
- I wish my mom cooked like Eric's mom. Last night I couldn't figure out what I eating. And Eric's mom makes the best cookies. I wish my parents were like Eric's.........
- No I don't. Mine are cooler. I can get away with more acctually. My parent's are great and in style.
- Why does the neighbor boy keep following me around school. How weird!!! I wonder if he's mental? Maybe he likes me...
- (next page)
- I really enjoyed everyone hanging out last night. I can't believe Fez stuck that blue ball up his nose. I wanted to punch him for doing that. It was embarrasing.
- What was Dad's problem last night? I felt as if he and mom were going to do it right on the kitchen counter. I know he saw me walk through. Don't they know I live here too? Maybe I should just move out............Wish I had a (?) hang out with(out?)..........
- (Last Page)
- When I get into college I want to be a doctor.....or......maybe a lawyer! I can do anything. I wonder why in the olden days only men worked and mothers stayed home. I do think a house wife and mother are work! But they could be so much more.
- I can't figure out why Jackie likes Kelso. Acctually why Kelso likes Jackie. Their perfect for each other.

- Today Fez was so funny. He ate 3 bags of marshmellows in 3 minutes. I think thats a record or something. And Kelso balance a snow cone on his nose. What a weird day.
- I had the weirdest dream about Eric last night. He was Eric, but he was also Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. And he looked really wicked and dangerous......Which is so not Eric. Sometimes I wish he were like that.
