Dear Diary
FOUND by Jessica
in Jacksonville, Florida
I work in retail and found this on the floor when cleaning the store. Apparently there is still drama in middle school!

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
at least she didn't write, 'dear dairy'.
or wait..i guess it could be a guy, Im just assuming because of the handwriting and the fact that the are writing in a diary, and because of what it says.
just one curl?? oh my.
By 2000, our diarist's classmate would have been about 10 years behind the fashion curve. No wonder she's making fun of her. (Source: Wikipedia (Jheri Curl) - The hairstyle went out of fashion by the early 1990s and was replaced in part with the high top fade haircut.)
Hoochie clothes? Well, they...they are timeless as the comely girls at American Apparel prove time and again.
Ach, the bad spelling makes me very sad. And why only one curl? Did I somehow miss that middle school trend?
It's not the fact of the one curl, it's the where.
"Hoochie" as a despective term comes from the 1920s, in fact. There was a very daring (for the time) dance called the "hootchie-kootchie." Bumpin' and grindin', they called it when I was growing up.
A curl?! I hope it isn't right in the middle of her forehead.
I live in Kentucky, I thought we were behind the times, but EVEN I know what she got a curl means. Though, it is a style from 20 years ago, so maybe we are just less behind the times than some of you?... Think Lionel Richie...
She got her hurr did.
I went to private school and if you wore dimes in your pennyloafers you were wearing hoochie clothes..maybe she had quarters in hers..hhmmmmm...
Scuse me, but I gotta go get my do done.
There is still drama everywhere... even in university. Everyone still gossips about people's clothes and how they do their hair. Although, I think I would talk if someone had just one curl.
I thought getting a curl meant getting a perm. But then again, I'm not hip. Or an old lady.
Is it wierd if I'm more interested that it was written on pi day than what it says in the note?
Hey mona, she sounds black. I'm sure she talking about a jheri curl.
I have recently read through my elementary/middle school diary and found that I had made observations very similar to these on a daily basis. I guess we're taught young to judge others. I know I still do...
Now one has seen the sitcom Girlfriend where one of the girls meet Rev. Sharpton? She says "I got to ask, is it jheri curl or perm.?" (or something like that I can't remember)
I immediately thought of that nursery ryhme:
There once was a girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead,
And when she was good,
She was very, very good,
And when she was bad,
She was horrid.
Maybe it was one of the horrid days for her, with the hoochie clothes and all.
Hoochie clothes and a curl?
Oh. Hell. No.
Kira, that's not Pi day ... that's two days after Pi day ...
and I couldn't figure out "huchie" so now I'm glad to know it's really hoochie.
And bad spelling makes me twitch.
Awww... yes, of course... Dangit, I have a math degree, I should be more astute than that... Of course I prefer the good old greek approximation of 22/7.
I think the author wrote "huckie" clothes. And by "got a curl" she means "got the instruments (a broom and several large smooth stones) to participate in a curling match". Sounds like a rather classy girl... Curling in huckie clothes.
Dear Diary,
I wanna make fun of people in my class, but I have NO friends, thus I have to talk to a book. I think I'll start cutting myself.
When white/Hispanic/Asian girls process their hair to make it curly, it's a perm, when black girls get their hair processed to be straight, it's a perm. Because it's supposed to be permanent. This was probably a black girl writing about a girl who wasn't black.
I think it's weird that the writer didn't name the person she is writing about. How is she going to remember which hoochie girl got a curl? If you're gonna be all judgenmental, you gotta put a name to the face (with the curl)!
I wonder if she got her nails did too?
I love the spelling - "huchie" looks so much more modern. And except for an implied criticism in the connotation of "huchie," there's no judgment here. I almost wonder if they were thinking, "I want to be just like her" or maybe "I think she'd be a cool friend."
Yeah....
Oh...at first glance I thought it said, "this girl got on *bunchie* clothes." And thought, poor thing, how uncomfortable.
Never mind.
At first I thought it said buchie (as in butch.) But no. It doesn't.
Anyway two days after pi day is one day before my birthday. That means my birthday is three days after pi day.
So silly. :)
What in the world is pi day? Unless it involves coconut cream...then I guess I'm up for it.
march 14.
3.14.
get it?
i love Pi day. We always have Pie, and people look at me strangely when i say 'happy pi day.'
Ah. I never did manage math. Pi are squared, cornbread are round. At least in my mother's house...she made it in an iron skillet in the oven.
The bread, not the pie.
Sorry, I'm running a temperature.
Blueberry and Raspberry Pi, here please!!!
That's been a tradition in our home since ASH Wednesday! (Pancake Day!!!!!)
Funny, my mother would always spread the butter on our cakes and then the maple syrup with a curl!Ummm....I mean swirl!!!
