Based upon characters created by. David Lynch and Mark Frostfor the Television series, 'Twin Peaks'. Download as PDFMy name is Laura Palmer, and as of just three short minutes. I officially turned twelve years old! It is July 2. 2, 1. I. have had such a good day! You were the last gift I opened and I. You shall be the one I confide in the most. I. promise to tell you everything that happens, everything I feel. I desire. And, every single thing I think. There are. some things I can't tell anyone. I promise to tell these things to you. Anyway, when I came down for breakfast this morning, I saw. Mom had hung streamers all through the house, and even. Dad put on a party hat and tooted away on a kazoo for a while. I. didn't think Donna and I would ever stop laughing! Oh, Donna is my very best friend in the whole world. Her last. name is Hayward, and her father, Dr. Hayward, delivered me. I can't believe I finally made it. Mom cried. at the table because she said before I know it I'll be a grown- up. Yeah, sure. It's going to take years for me to even get my. I just know it. She's crazy if she thinks I'll be a grown- up in. Today was just the way I wanted it to be, with only Donna and. Mom and Dad there. And Jupiter, my cat, of course. For breakfast. we had apple pancakes, which are my favorite, with lots of maple. Donna gave me the blouse I saw in the window at Horne's. Department Store, and I know she bought it with her allowances. It's the most beautiful blouse you've ever seen! It is. white and silky and has tiny embroidered roses all over it, but not. It's just perfect. On Donna's birthday. I'm going to get her something extra special too. My cousin Madeline, Maddy for short, is visiting tomorrow for. She and Donna and I are going to build a fort in the. Mom will let us. I know Dad will. He likes. the woods as much as I do. One night I had a dream that Dad. I'll be back in a minute, Diary, Dad is calling to me from. He says he has a surprise! I'll tell you everything when. Dear Diary,July 2. You will never ever believe what just happened! I went downstairs. Dad told Mom and I to get in the car and not to ask any. Of course, Mom. asked questions the whole way. I didn't mind because I thought. Dad's mouth, but it didn't. I. just kept quiet so that I wouldn't lose my surprise. When we. pulled up to The Broken Circle Stables, I knew! Daddy bought me. a pony! Diary, he is so beautiful, much more beautiful than I could. His colors are cinnamon red and deep brown. Mom couldn't believe it when she. Dad how he managed to do it. Dad said it would ruin the surprise if. Mom nearly had a heart attack when she saw me underneath. I barely had to. look to find out that it was a boy. Like I've never seen one of those. Mom doesn't know her little girl the way she thinks she. Back to my pony. I decided his name should be Troy, like the. Mrs. Larkin's photo book. Zippy, who works at the. TROY in. big letters, and he'll hang it right in front so that everyone will. Troy is still too young to ride. I'll be able to get on and just race through the. Today I walked him and fed him carrots (Dad brought them. Zippy gave me. Troy.Before I left him, I whispered in his warm, soft ear.I would see him tomorrow and that I would write all about. . I can't wait to show him to Donna!I almost. forgot, Maddy will see him too!On the way home from the stables Dad said that Troy and I have. So happy. birthday to Troy too! I'm glad I don't know where he came from, because this way, it. Heaven sent him down just for me. Anyway, Diary, tomorrow is a big day and tonight I will sleep. Troy and all of the time we shall spend. I am the luckiest girl in the world. P. S. I hope BOB doesn't come tonight. It is very late at night and I can't sleep. I have had nightmare. I figure Maddy will be tired from her ride out here and will. I can sleep then. Maybe if. the sky is light when I sleep, my dreams won't be so dark. One of them was just awful. I woke up crying, and I was afraid. Mom would come in if she heard me, and I just want to be alone. She always comes in. Waltzing Matilda" to me when I can't sleep, or like. I have bad dreams. It's not that I don't want her to. Mom's voice, and it frightened me so. I could hardly move. In the dream I was walking through the woods out by the Pearl. Lakes, and there was this very strong wind, but only around me. It. was hot. The wind. And about twenty feet away from me there. They. were very rough and he held them out to me as he sang. His beard. didn't blow in the wind because the wind was only around me. The tips of his thumbs were black like coal and he wiggled them. I kept walking. toward him, even though I didn't want to at all because he. He said, "I have your cat," and Jupiter ran behind him and off. He just kept singing and I tried to tell him I wanted to go home. I wanted Jupiter to come with me, but I couldn't talk. Then he. lifted his hands up in the air very, very high, like he was growing. I felt the. wind around me stop and everything went silent. I thought that he. And so when he stopped the wind with his hands like. I thought he was letting me free, letting me go home. Then I had to look down because there was this heat between. It burned me and so I had to. So that they would stop. And they started spreading by themselves like. I thought, I'm going. I tried to. keep my legs closed, but they burned and I couldn't. And then the. man looked at me and smiled this awful smile, and in Mom's voice. You'll come a'waltzing Matilda with me. And I. tried to talk again but I couldn't, and I tried to move but I couldn't. Laura, you are home." And I woke up. Sometimes when I'm dreaming I feel trapped there and so. But now when I look at what I just wrote, it doesn't. Maybe I'll write down all of my dreams from now. I won't have to be afraid of them. One night last year I had such an awful dream that the whole. I couldn't work. Donna thought I was going. I jumped. I wasn't going nuts, like. Nadine Hurley or anything, but I was still feeling like I was in a. I don't really remember it, but all I know was in the dream. I was in a lot of trouble because I hadn't passed this weird test. I couldn't do it, because I just wanted to swim. I don't remember any more, and I guess it's no. I'm so tired of waiting to grow up. Someday it will happen and. I'll be the only person who can make me feel bad or good about. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm getting pretty tired. Cousin Maddy will be here any minute. Dad went to pick her up. Mom wouldn't let him wake me. I slept until just fifteen minutes ago. No dreams at all, except Mom. I hooted like an owl! I'm so embarrassed. She said she came into my room and I was. I . . . hooted again, and then she says I giggled and. I hope she doesn't tell anyone. She always tells people things like that when we have. Haywards or something. It always starts. Laura did the sweetest, most odd thing . And I know. Like one night she said, right in front of everyone, that I had. I took off all my clothes, stuffed them in the stove, and went. Now every time I go to the stove at the Haywards'. Donna and I help with dinner, Mrs. Hayward makes a joke. I realize that the stove is a stove and not a. Mom had been drinking the night she told that, so I forgave her. But if she tells anyone I hooted, I'll just die. I don't suppose there is. Mine are no exception. Maybe if I could stop doing stupid things in my sleep, she. I have so much to tell you. These words come to you from the. Donna and Maddy and I built. Dad and Mom. said it was okay as long as we stayed just out back. We used wood. that Ed Hurley gave us, and Dad hammered everything together. Donna says that if a storm came up, it would all be over for us, but. I have a feeling it would stand, no matter what happened. Maddy is so pretty now. She's sixteen years old and I'm so. I wish I were sixteen! She has a boyfriend at. Dad teased her. about how cutesy she was on the phone, but Maddy didn't mind. Donna thinks that when she has a steady boyfriend, she'll. I told her she was. I wonder what it will be like when someone. I travel to. make sure that I'm all right. Anyway, earlier we all went to see Troy at the stables and. Both Donna and Maddy said they'd never. I wonder what I did to. Donna has been wishing for a pony for years too. I wonder how long Troy will. I will cry forever when he dies. Donna just saw what I wrote about Troy's dying, and she says I. I keep it up, who knows. Donna doesn't know everything I know. I can't. help but think sad thoughts sometimes.
