Entry 17

I was early when I went to meet to Sally. So I sat down and did a bit of sight seeing. There was a lot of different girls around with alot of phoney guys. Then i remember about this phoney guy I roomed with at elkton hills. He was a terrific whistler. Naturally I never told him. When I finally met up with Sally she looked amazing, And when I told her we was going to see the lunts she was overwhelmed with excitement. When we got to the showing at the interval of the phoney thing, Sally bumped into some guy she used to know. They both went on and raved about the Lunts and when they finaly went their seperate ways Sally wanted to know if i wanted to go ice skating. I wasnt crazy about the idea but we went anyway. When we got their we was almsot the worst skaters on the rink. All the others were phoney rubbernecks who liked to watch as we fell on our backsides. After a while we got fed up of entertaining the rubbernecks so we went inside for a drink. I dont know what happened next. I dont know what made me do it but we was talking and i suggested that we left together. You know out in the country where we could be happy and I could get a job and take care of her. Then all of a sudden I was shouting at her. She got really scared and started to cry. I said I was sorry but she had already ran off. I felt so goddam depressed.
