Diaries 1981-1991

by Suzanne Saunders

So, I'm an obsessive self-archivist, as this web site proves. I don't know exactly why I decided to start putting these old diaries up; perhaps in hopes that they will prove of actual use instead of just entertainment and the bringing back of things I'd forgotten about when I read them (although I suppose not forgetting things is a use for me).

So you can watch a bookish kid grow up in the 1980s, or get samples of how 8-year-olds write, or whatever. All spelling, grammar, punctuation errors/eccentricities, and random text color changes are from the original books.
