As soon as I can convince myself to get up from this chair and get dressed, I actually have a long to do list to complete today. Of course, everything below 10 I could really care less if I get done or not. I mostly just throw them on the list to make myself feel as if I'm at least considering doing something about them. I really want to head to Borders. Natalia had this nice hardcover sketchbook/journal, and I think I want to pick one up. I've always kept a diary. I'm not sure how it's much different than a blog, except that it's portable. I'm tired of being constricted by the lined paper of its pages though and now I'm hoping to go crazy with constant thought and emotions on the blank pages of a new journal. I'll be sixteen soon, and to me, that's a major turning point in a persons life. I intend to have that journal by my side, and readily available through it all. If I hear a good song and have to get those lyrics down, I'll whip it out. If I'm sitting down by the beach and I fall in love with the sound of the waves crashing, or even the smell of the water, I'll get it out. If I overhear anything even slightly funny, or ridiculous from somebody in public, here it comes. If I feel like drawing, snatch it up. Or if I must write down my feelings, opinions, or whereabouts immediately, it will be right there. I intend to have pictures plastered all over the inside, writing, drawings, football game tickets, notes from friends, movie theater ticket stubs.. anything of any importance, or even any relevance.. ( maybe some things that are also COMPLETELY irrelevant. ) are getting taped up in there.
I've never been so excited to buy a journal.
I'm such a nerd.
