let's have a go!


I've never been great a keeping a journal. nope. I tend to get ahead of myself. It starts out simple. "I should keep a journal!"... then it builds..."I need to write EVERYDAY!"...and then... "I need to write nicely.no..PERFECTLY..and the lines have to be perfectly parallel. I need to impress myself when I look back on this." lol. What a thought. Soon enough I get overwhelmed. That's what happened when I went to England. I wanted to write down everything, and eventually the very thought of catching up on my day wasn't appealing.
My great friend, miss Jennifer K. Abbott, has inspired me. She does this often (inspire.. and blog too I guess) I'm going to try this blog thing out. It's a creative outlet. I'm not going to over edit. I'll just write, ya know? It'll be a little self-documentary I suppose. I love looking back on my old journal entries. I become flooded with "remember when" thoughts, and then the common "when did that happen?" thought, but nothing out numbers the "do I really talk like that?" thought. No deadlines are on this bad boy. I'll write to write.
Here goes nothing..... No... Here goes something =)
