Diary of a 70's Teen

Remember your diary?   I loved mine!  It was small with a little lock (to keep my little sister out.) My entries were mostly about my love for Tony DeFranco and my crush in Junior High (Dale looked at me today!)  

So when I came across this - I had to share it with you! What a great idea!  The creator of this site shares her diary posts from the 70's!  Here are a few entries from 1975 - the author was 11 and 12 that year!

Sunday, January 12, 1975

hi. Nothing good has happened so far. I'm just sitting here on the couch in my pajamas it's 9:20 p.m.. I'm going to clean my room tomarrow, mom says if I really do she'll faint. I got a record & some moccasins today. Gomez is sitting by me now. We're about to watch Candid Camera so I'm going to stop writing & watch it.

Hi! How are you? nothing has happened so far. But I will let you know if it does. okay? Oh yeah, Defrancos were on the Easter Seals telethon yesterday. Boy is Tony getting tall and skinny! Benny is growing a mustache! Tony Orlando was on Merv Griffin today. I found out that he smokes. And I saw his wife. She is pretty! We also went to an auction yesterday. The food there was good!

Greg Brady (Barry Williams)

  Contributed by Deb Neuman
 
Barry Williams turned 59 today.   You and I likely know him best as Greg Brady.   You know the one - from that show - the Brady Bunch?   "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"!   I was in love with him (although I admit I also had a crush on Peter).... torn between two Brady's - feeling like a fool.   That show was such a part of our lives.   I wanted to date Greg (and Peter).  I wanted Marcias perfectly straight hair.   I wanted that house with that staircase and I wondered if Alice and the Butcher ever made out.   Although the show only ran for 6 years from 1969 to 1974 it impacted an entire generation and contiues to do so today.

I recently had the opportunity to chat with Barry Williams - as part of my job in radio.  When my morning show co-host told me he had set up the interview for us I was giddy like a 13 year old.   I swear I didn't sleep the night before!    But of course I wanted to behave like the broadcast professional that I am - so I had to really pull myself together... then I heard him say "Hello!"...
(Oh my God - Oh my God ---pull it together!!!)
