The sloggish end of season 2 is now complete. Notebook number 2 ends here, on episode 54. The teens are loving Oasis and they both are now connected with DSL, not dick sucking lips folks, they both have a Digital Subscriber Line for internet access which means they can put cryptic away messages up on AIM. Amanda possibly has tiny feelings for B cubed still. The girls are going to homecoming, then it's almost Christmas break, and surprisingly they are still hot single lasses. Teen Nae slams her crush for being one dimensional and is over him. They also saw Elf for the first time 20 years AGO! The last entry from Amanda reveals both girls have plans to go to the UK?! What will happen when they go? Did they meet Dan and Tom and their mums? Season 3 may have these answers, they may not. The episode ends with another AmaNae awkward sign off.
It's the second to last episode of Season 2. What will happen? Will the girls have a summer fling? Will they get their first kiss in the final entries? All signs point to no but they can hope and dream! 2003 Amanda and Jenae are basking in the summer of freedom and days filled with hanging out and fan fiction posting, but sophmore year starts tomorrow. Jenae picks the ugliest outfit for a boyfriend if she had one. Women Amanda and Jenae are feminists and see how society did not encourage that 20 years ago which is evident in their shaming of Britney and J Simps, forgive us ladies. Episode wraps up sending all the love to Palestine and those affected by the war, and to women globally who continue to be assaulted and harassed.
A prep fail by Jenae lead to this podcast episode without ANY notebook reading, which is a-okay because that's liiiiiiiiife babyyyyy. The women catch up on Harry Potter happenings, concerts, Jenae's love for soup season, Halloween costumes, Twilight, etc. They also discuss N*SYNC touring, and if watching them dance the same in their 40s would be weird. Would they wear huge parachute jeans again? The notebook readings shall resume next week.
Amanda and Jenae are back in teenage action after a podcast pause! There's a little bit of this and little bit of that going on. Freshman year is over, the drama has paused and the girls are hoping for a summer fling and to just casually play the field. Amanda is dominating the fan fiction world online. Amanda and Jenae also realize they don't say I love you to each other as much as they did 20 years ago. Amanda is air frying in real life and Jenae is making muggles but secretly hoping they be a witch.
Don't worry, when the time comes, these girls are ready to kiss because 1) they have white ass teeth and 2) they are hoarding a ton of Victoria Secrets mints on the READY. The girls launched their TV debut with a VHS in history that was deemed the best in the class, voted solely by Amanda and Jenae. Amanda is obsessed with the registered trademark symbol and being the Guru of the forums. Jenae is saving up for a computer and summer is just around the corner. Amanda is growing from Hawaii and Jenae can't stop yawning throughout the podcast, warning there are a lot of yawning pauses.
Fall is upon us in 2023 and spring is in full swing in 2003. Teenage Amanda is about to get hooked up with freaking DSL?! And the truth comes out that she spent hours in her room just looking at sexy boy posters on her ceiling. Jenae's first of many official German crushes is documented in this entry, and she's so over the boy who won't kiss her. There's continuous yearning for boyfriends as always. In today's world vacations and podcasts rule the world of obsessions!
This is the last episode where Amanda and Jenae share oxygen and each others auroas, at least for the forseeable future. They enter the great anti fantasy frontier. They surprise themselves with how much real life they have to write about. Young Amanda is planning from Prom two years in advance, she IS punk and Van shoes turn her on. Jenae goes on about teen life and is prepping for that first kiss, we think it's coming soon. We pose the question: do we all bleed simultaneously in the multiverse? Periods in every universe? And lastly, they end very abruptly thanks to le puppy.
Is this a podcast episode or is it an advertisement for the Ravioli man at the farmers market? The women are obsessed with some raviolis! In fantasy land, David Yates runs the boys early for filming. Amanda buys the sexiest red dress for her next steak night dinner date with Tom, and someone trolls her on AIM questioning if she is dating Tom. No fantasy world for Jenae because the shame wizard visited and encouraged them to really shut down fantasy land. SHAME! The battle with confidence in teenagehood continues and Jenae may be getting closer to a kiss that is not the shower wall, and Amanda revisits being gaslit AF at age 15. And all JKs are actually truth bombs.
The 15 year olds are hot off a girls date night where they chowed down chicken tortilla soup and saw Bringing Down the House. 20 years ago that movie came out. The girls have shared 20 years of periods and pains. 20 years of hot pads for Amanda. 20 years ago humor was different. 3 real human guys like Jenae in real life but she only thinks 1 does because her confidence internally is the size of a mosquito. In fantasy, the DVD launch is around the corner and they're ready to snodge! Snodge so hard in England. We end the episode with a shout out to.... Zach's hair. Incredible style and confidence.
And the imagination rolls on. In fantasy land, Amanda and Jenae's subconsciouses have completely changed lanes, changing lanes into the lane of empowering other girls! They love Emma W. and Emma W. is such a homie, she's going to get the girls in as extras in Prisoner of Azkaban. Baby Amanda is still obsessed with Arizona Uni because HOT guys. Baby Jenae is emotionally exhausted from activities and asks Amanda a very big question. Should fantasy continue? Jump on for giggles and cringe!
Amanda and Jenae continue to prepare for the spring break adventure in London and the ever so anticipated DVD launch. Amanda is obsessed with her Jenae singing like a virgin joke. The girls have officially become nice girls and welcomed hottie Emma W. into their group, "she's not evil like we thought!" They have also taken it upon themselves to dress their boyfriends in classic 2003 male teen fashion. As always, they know best. In real life 2003, Amanda is on the prowl for teen sexies in AZ between Angel games and Claim Jumper, and Jenae just keeps swimming. They also are super dateless for Sadie Hawkins.
Growth! Teenage Jenae and Amanda change their tune on Ms. Emma Watson. She's actually such a sweetie! Jenae maturely identifies the initial source that the dislike at the beginning was most likely jealousy. Elsewhere, karaoke songs are discussed, romantic voicemails are sent, and makeout sessions are proposed.
These girls are feeling all the feels. From their head, to the heart, all the way down to that teenage mufflepuff. They are turned on and pretending that they're going to feel the sweet sensation of a French kiss in their fantasy world. Amanda and Jenae as adults have admitted they are indeed hardcore flirting with each other's boyfriends. We're in the final 3-4 entries from each Amanda and Jenae before the fantasy ends. Dive in and fantasize with us again before they are shamed into giving it all up.
We all have to start somewhere. This week we take a break from our regularly scheduled notebook readings and instead present our very first test recording!
Tom is going through his Eminem stage and loves listening to rap whether he's fishing with Jenae or slow dancing with Amanda. Amanda flirts with the L word again, aka love. Jenae is excited to make out during the limo ride from Heathrow airport. The boys are taking separate limos to pick them up for the DVD launch because they so fancy and love their CA girls. In real life, who is this mysterious blue backpack boy that Amanda is so into? She's playing it so cool. Jenae is swimming, swimming all day.
Bad news. This episode is audio only. Good news. We try a different format and we think it works pretty well! Amanda is a judgy teen in fantasy and real life. No love for Emma (Watson) and the popular girls in 9th grade! While Jenae contemplates exhaustion in both realms. Can she really handle jumping time zones and swim practice?
Amanda and Jenae fall into cringe again. 15 years old 20 years ago. Present day Amanda explores what the safety of having a boyfriend in real life would have meant as a teen. The fantasy continues and the girls are obsessed with how obsessed Tom and Dan's mums are with them, and how well they treat their baby boys. The girls also start planning their 7 month anniversary celebration about 4 months in advance. A throwback to paying for receiving texts, Limited Too, and internet cafes!
Two girls, notebook #2. We are hot and full of energy ready for this next season! Join us and the adventure in the teenage dream of dating Daniel expecting a child Radcliffe and Tom lovin' two dogs Felton. Season 2 kicks off with a Jenae-only episode. Our first entries are so long that they deserve their own spotlight. In fantasy world Jenae's contemplating all her travel plans. England, Hawaii, then back to England?! Too much time zone jumping if you ask me! In reality she's questioning friendships while getting into punk. What are we a wee bit obsessed with lately? Amanda is focused on a wardrobe refresh while Jenae revisits one of her favorite bands, Daughter.
Amanda and Jenae are live for a hot 28 minutes. They are rearing to get going on season 2 and give a tiny sneak peak of what's to come in the next Notebook. Last bonus ep drop before the journey continues!
