Wind!!!!! Math- talked to Racine and Todd. Lunch- Lesley has E now. Dave, Lesley and I went outside, the wind was incredible + snow. Art- talking to Colman about how bad Toronto was (he says it's good - he lived there 10 years). Science- Fenouhlet and I bugging Todd and Higginson behind us.

 

January 26 Wednesday

Lesley mad. Lunch- Judy and Don here, Lesley not with us (she's mad). We went to smoke in the place near the aud. Art- still cleaning the windows. We sat and talked, later talked to Grace Roberts and Dave Webb. Science- shot pink hand cream at Todd (it missed). [that night Lesley, Dave, Danielle (Ralph's sister) and Ralph went to see "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Forum. Ralph's comment: "Not Bad"...this was the first time Dave did LSD. See Dave's letter, October 17, 1973]

 

January 27 Thursday Holiday

Judy and Don were over in the afternoon. Judy and I went to the backroom again. Then we laid on Don. nite- Judy, Don and I went to Fairview. To the Drop-In, had coffee. Went to Judy's, played a game with chips and cards (not Poker!) [had photos taken of myself].

 

January 28 Friday Holiday

Don then Judy came over. We played the same game as last night. Then we played 'Life'. Then Judy and Don played 'Rattle Battle'. nite- Judy and Don came back, we went skating [at Clearpoint Park]. I was skating (ha!). We came back and Don and I put on jewlery and make-up (suns on eyes like Alice Cooper)-took pictures and a film.

 

January 29 Saturday

Don came over, then Judy and Lesley [she had disappeared due to difficulties with Don]. Lesley surprised Don. Lesley and Don went to the backroom. nite- Don and I got a ride to the Mapes (the driver was smoking a joint), then we walked to Lesley's street to meet her. Then at the Mapes we met Judy, then we walked to Lesley's. Later Judy, Don and I went to Judy's and played that card game. Walked home.

 

January 30 Sunday (42)

Don and Judy came here (in the livingroom, everyone out). I filmed them coming up the path. Don and I played chess. Lesley and Gillian came, filmed them too. We went downstairs, throwing plaster at each other. Don got mad at Lesley (he broke his watch). nite- I met Don near the Mapes then we walked to Lesley's, Judy there. At 7:55 Don and I went to Perette's to get some grass which never came. Don said something gross about me [and Christine] (eating out), so I didn't talk to him. Went back to Lesley's, she drew feet on the ceiling. She laid on my feet, then my arm. Lay on the floor.

 

January 31 Monday Holiday

Don came over, but I threw him out [this was a mistake on my part. He went to Fairview, and was arrested for shoplifting (he was trying to get a gift for Lesley). This was not his first trouble with the law-or last]. Filmed him walking down the street.
