This is a really interesting thread. I recall us talking about it when the information was first released and firmly believing it was written in 2008, because what teenager says such things about their future, and because from a gut level - it was so timely.
My own experiences with teenage diaries was a disaster. I was always happy to receive one with it's little key, and wrote faithfully for about three days, then got bored and wrote now and then, and forgot about it for a couple of years because it was stashed on a shelf somewhere. Then I would find it, look at what I'd written, think "how dumb is that?", rip the pages out and start again - wash, rinse, repeat.
So I can imagine ICA actually wanting to voice her hopes - her big secret - to someone or something. She knew better than to actually tell someone - but we see by her behavior how happy she was to be free of her "responsibilities", knew she had done something very wrong but was over the moon with her "choices".
But when we talked about it in the first instance, I recall being quite "shot down" by more intelligent analysis. So away I wandered - muttering to myself - "well oh yeah, I think it was 2008 - so there!"
So I'm happy to put my hand up and say :seeya: - me too! I vote 2008!
