Happy Valentine's Day! The Dave Clark Five were on Ed Sullivan tonight. My stars! What a bunch of dolls! I like Mike Smith and Lenny Whatsisname best. Back to shcool <-spelt wrong!->tomorrow. Joy of Joys. I want to see V tomorrow! I love him - I think! I really do! In fact, this Friday I'm going to the Senior-Underclass game -- and dance! Yep, I got up the nerve - not much, but a good amount! Now all I have to do is find out if he likes me. I wonder!

Oh, my. 29 Valentine’s Days in love with Jim. I wish I still had my diary from then, or something. How wonderful and giddy that first winter and spring were. (Just saying, “oh, wow” and shouting “I love you!” In the cold Syracuse night.) And peanuts and broken cashews.
Well, tonight we will go out and enjoy. And this weekend I will pursue the dream.

The 1965 entry makes me nervous just reading it. It’s like the way you feel when the kids decide to go into the attic in a horror movie. “No!” I scream, “Don’t go to the dance. You’ll regret it!”
But as you can see, I did eventually find real love. Also, I have no idea what dream I planned to pursue the next weekend. As far as I can tell by reading ahead, it didn’t happen.
Jim and I are heading to dinner and movie. Happy Valentine’s Day!
