My father found my diary under my bed when I was like 13 and he called me "disgusting". I've never written a journal since.

I actually burned some cassettes too and my cousin was furious with me. It was music we'd made-up when we were younger - 13 or 14 years old. I listened to the tapes again when I was about 25 and they scared me. I sounded demented. The lyrics were really weird and sad. I had a mini-bonfire in the back-garden. My cousin has since found copies of some of the songs and is thinking about putting them online.

care to tell us what you wrote to deserve the "disgusting"?! Or was it just your average 13 year old boy stuff?!

My mother swears shes never looked at any of my diaries, but I dont know if I believe her because Ive always left them lying out, never hidden, and i was a pretty secretive kid!

Um... It probably wasn't what he expected. It made it worse because it was half a diary and half a book of homo-erotic fiction that me and my friend Michael had authored. It was pretty filthy from what I remember. I'd like to say that I didn't have a clue what half of the phrases used, actually meant - but I probably did.

Parents are stupid! If you hide a book under your bed, it's pretty obvious that it's private!!!

Yeah, youre right, serves him right!! Occasionally after I write something really saucy or psychotic Im always like, "if youre freaked out by that, whoever you are, you shouldnt be reading my diary dammit! It does serve them right. I still dont believe my mother, but what the hell, cant have been that bad, she never confronted me!

Thats funny too, my diary from the same age is my most cringey one, that I just cant read anymore. I was crazy about this boy who I had gone out with for a very short time, to a pretty obsessive extent! I thought I was so mature, lol, and heartbroken, and it just reads like I was 13!

After my mom bribed my brother to find mine when I was 15, There were some thoughts and daydreams that freaked her out and got me grounded. After that, I began writing in code. I found that it actually helped develop my writing skills and turned out to be poems. My mom never went searching after I started writing like that. She didn't know what to make of wolves, crows and symbols like that.

Oh... that reminds me...

I used to make cassettes all the time with friends. At the age of 12, it was the "Pick-Your-Nose Polka Show" (don't ask)...a little later, it was "ask Dr. Ruth." My friends had to "call in" to the show, asking for solutions to their disgusting sexual problems (the more graphic, obscure and revolting, the better) and I would give them "solutions" in a German accent. Too much fun!

My parents hated it though. Could you blame them?

you guys sound the same as us - weren't you guys allowed to watch tv either? I remember one of our radio plays was about a pet shop that re-opened as a restaurant with very weird things on the menu, like puppy au vin and kitten tartare, goldfish of the day

we could watch TV... we just had a lot of imagination. i think it's growing up in a small town that did it.

I once had a friend of my uncle's (who at the time was studying to be a teacher and was doing some assignment i gathered) just sit with me in a room and recorded me telling a story from the top of my head. Which is often what i'd do when i was a kid, and often those storiez would go on and on and never end, bless the adultz who were happy to sit there and listen to my ramblingz! I remember it being about some giant I was about seven at the time but i dont know if they still have that tape!

But i do know one tape for sure that should still be around somewhere. When i was 12 my cousin i did a mock radio show during a school holidayz. She made up some bullshit about her hifi sytem being able to broadcast and being the gullable kid i was, i actually believed her . We made up a gossip section where Madonna gets involved in a hit and run incident...and we did this full on sound effectz from different songz...like first we did the machete gun effectz from the start of that Bel Biv Devoe song Gangsta and then the motorbike revving and riding off in MJ's Speed Demon . We also changed the wordz to this really bad song (which i hated) from this girl-group from Oz at the time who had a song called 'Take It From Me' but we changed it to 'Take It From Bum' I don't know why we were so obsessed with asses but yeah and it was quite a distasteful rendition if i can recall too SO wrong.
