May 14, 1964, Thursday. Dave finally called.

Got home after school, looked ugly. My face is all broken out. Got dressed to go for my audition, but, Mommy didn’t come home, she was at Jean Williams, who just came home from the Hospital. I had to call the school and cancel my appointment. Was glad! Dave called, finally we are going out Saturday. He told me he was taking Sandy Block and Jack was taking me. He was serious. I wouldn’t really mind. Dave really sounded like he liked me. He’s coming over tomorrow night, because he doesn’t want to go and drink. I just love him. I don’t know what I ever saw in Howard. UGGG!

Standing at the crossroads:   One road leads to my dream of becoming an actress and having a career.  The other leads to a guy who likes me, who wants to stop drinking for me.  What do I do?  

Take the road of least resistance…..
