Dear Diary,

New Years Eve, 1979. Brian and his band are at the peak of their success. They are probably having some extravagant, lavish party while I sit here in my pyjamas watching Monty Python eating dry cereal. It's about 10 minutes until midnight and Vivienne, my best friend, is already asleep. That woman snores like a diesel train and it makes me want to kick her from the other side of the couch while I laugh miserably at my life. This is my 3rd consecutive New Years Eve I have spent alone. Last year, I was on the same couch, eating cereal with milk (just to mix it up. Yep, I'm THAT reckless and exciting) and watching To Kill A Mockingbird. The year before, I traded my cereal for a bottle of cheap vodka and my pjs for a little black dress and watched Doctor Who. Yes, my social life is challenging to keep up with sometimes. I guess '79 hasn't been too bad. I've made a lot of improvements: I've finally kicked Derek, my abusive ex-fiancé, out of the house and given him his ring back, I've taken myself off the pole-dancing stage and I'm now a casual nurse at Great Orford Private Hospital with a little race driving on the side whenever I can. Speaking of such, I really must tell Brian about this. It's hard to talk to him, either on tour or busy recording with Queen. At least I have Viv. Who is asleep and drooling on my couch. Yuck.

Love, Lucy P May
