Entry 12

When i got into a cab I started to talk to the driver. His name was horwitz. He was much better company thatn the other driver, but the cab smelled like someone had tossed their cookies up in it. Seeing as he was such a nice guy I thought i'd ask about the ducks. 'Where do the ducks go in winter' . He got real sore about it I could tell. He turned right round in his seat and tried to say he wasnt sore. But I could tell he was. Then he started to tell me the fish get frozen in that pond. The fish. I meen i didnt ask about the fish. The ducks i asked about not the fish for chrissake. When I got out at old Ernies i went in and sat down. there was alot of dopes in there besides me. And I could tell there was a lot of people around my age here. You could get served anythiung at Ernies place. Soon two people entered and I heard someonce call my name so I turned and saw one of DB's on friends with some navey officer. They stopped to chat and ask about Db so i told them allk aboiut he was writing book in hollywood. The girl got very excited. She was blocking the whole path so I tried to leave and me and the guy said we were glad to hgave met each other. I hate that. Phoney as hell! And i told the girl i'd tell DB we met.

Entry 11

Whilst I was walking out of the lobby of the hotel I got old Jane on my mind again. I sat down and started to mull things over in my mind. Even though I knew old Stradlater would of given Jane the time I couldn't help feeling a little nervous. I really did. I met old jane when the dog she had, it decided to relieve itself on my mothers lawn. My mother got very sore about it. she can kick up a big stink about things when she wants to. She went round and had an arguement with old Janes mum. Then the next time I saw Jane I went over to speak to her but sher ignored me. I told her I didnt care where her dog relieves himself and from that day on we became best friends. Soon after we became friends, me and old Jane played checkers. We played checkers a lot. Then the booze hound her mother was married to turned up. When he went into the house 1 single tear slopped out right onto the red checkers square. I went over to comfort her, but before i got the chance she started to bawl her eyes out. I asked her what the matter was but she wouldn't say. She never told me. Sometimes you never find out what the matter is.

Entry 10

After a while I started to think about old Phoebe. She was Roller skate skinny. She usedto write thesestories about a girl detective. They killed me. Soon I ended up in the lavender room sitting at the table and giving these three girls the look. Ifigured Imay aswell goand speak to them so I went over to them and asked if they'd care to dance with me. The good looking one of the three said she would so we set off towards the dance floor. She was a terrific dancer. she really was. But she was keeping alook out for some famous people It waslike she expected them to walk through the door any minute. After a while we set off backto the table and it was really hard to find a topic of conversation that they ould actualy join in with.

Entry 9

When i got off the train I was really tempted to give my little sister phoebe a buzz. Only trouble is my parents would of answered and old Phoebe would be in bed. So I got in a cab and told the driver I wanted to go to my house. Justout of habityou know. When I asked to turn the cab around he got sore and said i'l have to wait. When I finaly got to a place suitable to stay I got into my room and started yto look out of the window. It's view was totaly blocked by the other side of the hotel. The hotel was full of perverts. You wouldn't believe what I could see. Soon I started to ring up this o0ne person which I had been told about. But I got cold feet half way through and hung up.

Entry 8

It was to late to call up a cab so i decided to walk to the station. It was cold as hell! my lip was hurting where stradlater and thumped me and it was stinging in the cold. I like trains. but this time was different. All of a sudden a lady got on with quite a few bags and sat next to me. She put her luggage ruight in the middle of the train where people could trip over it. That killed me. she noticed my pencey prep sticker on my case and she started to ask about a guy I knew. old morrow. biggest phoney you ever saw. he was one of those guys who liked to whip your ass with a towel. it turned out that this women was old morrows mother. So i started to shoot the bull a bit. I told her a huge load of rubbish. she swallowed it all. Mother are so gullable when they hear good stuff aboyut their kids. I like this women. I asked her to join me for a refreshment but she didnt want to. So i left the train and set off for a place to stay. I had alot of dough.

Entry 7

So I was in Ackleys room talking to him to see if he was awake. He sat upright ibn his bed and when he saw my face he was shocked as hell! He asked me what had happened so I told him and I asked if it would be ok if i spent the night in his room. He said he didnt know when his room mate would be back and so he wasnt sure. I felt so lonesome. And I started to wish that I was dead. After a while i asked if he knew the routine for joining a monastry. He said that he did't know so I dropped it. I suddenly decided it would be best if I left right that moment. Left pencey for good. On my way out i stood at the top of the corridoor and shouted, 'Sleep tight, Ya morons!'

Entry 6

Quite often when i'm thinking about something alot. I find it hard to rememebr things. Small things, you know. Like what i was doing when stradlater got in. Anyway. when he came back from his date with old jane I asked if he'd given her my regards. he said yes but I can tell he didn't. guys like steradlater will never give people your regards. So i decided to ask him other questions. I asked whether old jane still keeps her kings on the back row. He got sore about it so I dropped it. He started to read his goddam composition. When he realised what i had wrote about he started to get sore. After a while we got back on the topic of jane. I asked whether or not he'd given her the time but he got all secretive and started to give me those playful as hell socks on the shoulder. Well next thing I know I had started to shout. I was goddam furious!What happened next was i took a swing right at his face and before I knew about it I was on the floor with stradlater on top of me wth his knees on my chest. After a while I got up, put my hnting hat on and went to see ackley in his room.
