a journal

[monkey]

how many of you lovely peoples keep journals? not online, i mean actual notebooks, journal books, pieces of papers attached in a group where you write what comes to your mind? how long have you had it? is it purty?

i have tried, many times writing half an entry and leaving them be, only to be found months/years later in a massive cleaning campaign and being thrown out.

but this time... i bought a gorgeous book. a moleskin, actually. and who wouldve thunk it, i have a lot to write about. im a little scared of not being able to continue, but i think that even if i do it for a month, it will be one month that i will have forever a transcript of my thoughts. and if you know me well, you know that right now my thoughts are all over the goddamned place. this is a very interesting time in my life. im happy to be writing about it.

remember when they use to make you keep journals in school?


i use to right complete shit in them to mess with the teachers. i'd make up shit about beeing from the carribean, being adopted and makeing up shit about my family.

ive had a journal since i was around 16 where i would write what you described- thoughts, opinions and also ideas/scenes for short films, and also dream of consciousness type entries. and i kept doing this for years until about 2 years ago i lost the habit and now the board sometimes makes up for it.

I wrote some of the most horribly depressing suicidal stories and poems in my diary in high school, because when I read it over it made my problems minimal in comparison.

Then my parents found it. Let's just say they didn't see it the same way as I did. :rolleyes:

the closest thing to a joirnal i had was when i started writing short story type things based on stuff that actually happened. i would start to write and take something that happened and blend in random bits of things that i would make up as i went a long. i think i did about 5 or 6 of them before i stopped. i still have the notebook that they are in, and would love to pick it up again if i could

i used to write almost daily in a journal from sixth grade to junior year of high school, then i pretty much stopped.

i started up again last year. i'm glad i did. just a little composition book. i use it for everything - grocery lists (god i'm domesticated), phone numbers, school schedule, writing angry poems about assholes that piss me off, drawing penguins.

I try to, and stick with it for a week or so then I forget and never do it again. I really want to try and stick with that ish though. I just need to get a nicer book or something to write in.

I almost wrote a journal entry this morning, but my cow's teets needed sucking.

i carry around a little green notebook, i write down funny thoughts that pop into my head because i got tired of forgetting them. allow me to read you a few entries:

dr. hitler

corpse: the television show

well, it's a small notebook, i have to use shorthand, but they make sense to me

I have a fuzzy velvet blue journal that I write haiku in...seriously.
