Hi, I'm Liz Jackson. I'm 13 (almost).
I'm also a latchkey kid since Mam walked out: now it's just me and Dad and big-bum Marjorie, oh, and my best friend Bumble (soon to be ex-best friend).
Things I love: White Musk perfume, Eminem, pepperoni and pineapple pizza and the pizza delivery boy.
Things I hate: the girl next door, my Dad's lumpy porridge and my gross chin dimple.
Things I'm terrified of: my first date (coming up soon), my first date (not long now), and my first date (just around the corner).
This is my diary. Anyone who opens it will die a slow and horrible death.
So Don't Even Think About It!
Don't Even Think About It is part of the O'Brien Press's new Journal series for girls.
Born in Kerry, with parents from Clare, Roisin Meaney is currently a primary teacher living in Limerick. She is a published author of adult fiction:
The Daisy Picker (Tivoli, 2004) and
Putting Out the Stars (Tivoli, 2005). Her short story
Three Letters was published in
Moments (Cle, 2005).
If your idea of a good time involves an unputdownable book and a duvet then we suggest you get your hands on any of the Journal series from O’Brien Press - and hit the sack! The three (so far) books are written in the form of diaries and are witty, funny and seriously good. And you can quote us on that.
