February 14 Monday Holiday

Left my place at 12:35, got the Fairview bus to the metro station. Went to the Palace theatre near Place Ville Marie, met Dave and Ralph there. We saw the movie "Frank Zappa's 200 Motels". Sat through it 1+1/2 times. We got the train back home.

 

February 15 Tuesday

Lunch- Rob Walford paroling the caf (for garbage). Dave, Lesley and I sat at her locker. Art- Don and Judy came to the door. Science- Fenouhlet and I signed the "detention" sheet for talking (bastard Einser).

 

February 16 Wednesday

Math- Lang [the teacher] pushed Ring hard from the door to desk. Lunch- Don here, he was mad at Lesley so he hit me hard in the Great Hall. Went to the aud, read Don's old girlfriend's letters. We left at 12:50 [out early because of Winter Carnival skating]. Don, Lesley's friend and I waited for Lesley to get out of the office (for not doing an assignment), then Don, Lesley and I got a drive to Ralph's. Dave and Judy there. Sat in Ralph's room reading 'Mad'. Borrowed "200 Motel". I walked back to school to get the bus.

 

February 17 Thursday

Math- Paul, Christine and I talked at the back, sometimes Chris. Gym(spare)- went to the library with Ken, did English homework. Lunch- in the caf, Don here. Ate wine candies. Went to the aud, bothering Norma and her boyfriend. Lesley and Don made out. Art- we were allowed to leave early if we finished our work. I met Don by my locker, went to the aud. Don was hitting Rea. Went upstairs, had a smoke with Grace Roberts and 2 guys. Science- Todd sat at the back with me (Fenouhlet away). Don came on the bus and wanted to come home with me, but I said no.

 

February 18 Friday

All classes today are 33 minutes long [for the Winter Carnival]. Gym(spare)- outside room 202, 2 assholes [accidentally] smashed a board on my left big toe (it turned blue). Lunch- Christine, Lesley and I went to the aud, Christine had a smoke. Science- Chris T sat with me (he wanted to) Fenouhlet sat in front of us. We got out about 1:16, Lesley, Diane [Bouchard?] and I went to the Civic Center to watch people swimming. Chris T was there for awhile (not swimming). Kids on the bus were bugging Liz and I to give them a smoke. nite- got a ride to Dave's with Lesley's father (Lesley, Don and I). Dave and Ralph were tripping, Don and I bothered them. [eq; talking without making a sound. I seem to remember them listening to 'T-Rex-Electric Warrior' (released in Britain in September 1971. At this time, most releases took longer to be released in Canada)]. I did sketches of Dave and Ralph. In the car on the way back we were bothering Ralph about his size.

 

February 19 Saturday

SNOW-It really started about 1 and is still going, couldn't see to the end of the path. I filmed Lesley, Judy, Don and Diane [Bouchard] coming up the path (they came over). Filmed them in the basement, Don filmed me with all the tape stuff. I taped them. When they left the snow was up to their knees.

Shovelled the driveway abit. In the afternoon Lesley, Don, Judy and Ralph came over, filmed them. Sat in the candlelight, taped [The National Freefalling Championships]. When Lesley, Ralph and Judy were outside at 5 waiting for a ride (Don left at 4) Lesley and Ralph were having a snowball fight on the Durant's driveway (fucking funny).

 

February 21 Monday Snow Holiday

Dave, Ralph and Judy came over, then Lesley and Don. I taped them. Lesley was taping a letter to Carol Stevenson in Winnipeg [where Lesley used to live. When there she claimed to have known a girl named Esmirelda Bumperstingage...]. Dave was reading out of 'The Sensuous Man'.
