Journal entry: 10/12/89
My name is David. I'm 16 years old. Over the last two months, I saw my life change like I would've least expected. It all started when my friends Jason and Rusty told me about this place called Medusas. Then one night, my girlfriend, Jenny took me there. It's an awesome place that has great music and the people inside are so interesting you'd think they belonged in a Jack Kerouac novel.
Around the corner from Medusas is the donut shop where all us kids hang out after Medusas. I'm friends with a few younger kids since coming down there. Anna, Max, James, and Alex like to hang by the donut shop and watch all the action that takes place there. They all go to my school. Anna has a zine that I take photos for. I'm also a photographer, and I'm never at a loss for great pictures.
I've also changed my looks since I started coming down there. I mostly wear black and I changed my hairstyle. I get my clothes from Dark Wave at the Century Mall on Clark, where my friend Darren hooks me up with the coolest clothes. I'm usually wearing a button down shirt with cuffed jeans and black oxfords.
Down the street from there is Trax, the coolest record store in town. I buy all my music there. There's this college girl named Violet who works there and she's awesome. She's Max's cousin. She knows everything about the music and the scene.
One day when I get older, I'd like to tell this story in detail. I had so many experiences since that first day and I don't regret any of them. I feel like I'm becoming popular, which is something I never thought would happen to me! When I'm down there, I feel more at home than I do at school or in my actual home.
I look forward to every Friday or Saturday Night when I can go down to Medusas and see the two black lights shining out front. I refer to them as two purple lights, even though my girlfriend thinks thats stupid. I don't know how to put into words how I truly feel when I'm down there, but if I was to reference song lyrics, I would say the line "Were flying high, were watching the world pass us by. Never want to come down, never want to put my feet back down on the ground." from Depeche Mode's Never Let Me Down Again would probably sum it up!
