diaries, but it sounds like teenage Brett had a daily planner. Why do I think someone found an old one on ebay to doctor up?

he had to keep track of his victims or crimes.

When I could, in high school, I used to write down all the beer parties. It's funny how many didn't happen. I wonder why?

*to laugh or to cry, that is the question*

Many people who may plan on writing a memoir later on would be well-served by keeping such things.

Of all the things wrong with Kavanaugh, this isn't one.

I just think there is nothing inherently wrong with keeping one.

They used to be quite common. You used them to keep track of everything from social calendars to academic activities. Many schools had pre-printed ones that already listed key dates and activities of the school. Not every beer party would be listed, but it might include ones long planned, mostly ones surrounding holidays and breaks.

It'd be only slightly weird to save them. I didn't, but it wouldn't be freakishly odd to store them along with a yearbook or something. Today, this would be done on some calendar type function on a smart phone. Those may last a long time and could provide interesting fodder in the future.

Then yes - would be likely to be saved.

However, what would be saved there would be school sponsored events and maybe some personal days such as birthdays and the like.

However, if it was like my High School, these things were ad-hoc with only a few days notice. "Hey, Friday night - Joe's parents are out". Then there would be a small collection for a keg or three and a few would bring a few bottles of harder stuff.

L-

the party is unlikely to be noted, unless there was a reason it was planned in advance (let's be honest, to a 17 year old,"advanced" might mean a week or two). Of course "my parents go to Jamaica every year at that time" often can be the "special event".

I thought you were making reference to the era, like, " oh how 20th century, keeping a diary" something like that.

Sorry I thought you might be under a bridge in Eastern Europe. Pleased you aren't.

We have so very much evidence of this already.

...an anal retentive loon, but as a 17 year old with
visions of grandeur, assuming that writing a memoir
was in his future.

Is a big non-issue, and certainly nothing to stigmatize anyone about.

You can really buy them on ebay!

If they don't ask the type of questions that you listed, they are asleep at the wheel. The questions are obvious.

Evidently some private schools push the used of personal calendars to record when papers are due, school events and the like. But as most teenage parties, particularly male parties, are spur of the moment, doubt he recorded Sam's House, Keg Party, going to get drunk.
Or for that matter when he got home" Great party, drank myself senseless once more. Felt up (girl's name) and had sex with her against her will."

be tested by the FBI to date the ink/ marker .

testing occurred it could not seriously be considered legitimate evidence.

when he was hounding Vince Foster's family and Monica Lewinsky about issues that weren't his problems. Or in 2000 when he tried to shut down the Florida recount, Or in the early 2000s when he advised Bush on torture.
