Current Mood:  blah
So I was writing a journal entry and I ditched it.
I've realized before that the reason that I don't update all these blogs regularly is because I've never really been a journal person. When I was young if i had ever kept a diary or anything like that, my older brother would read it and then attempt blackmail if not outright try to destroy my life with whatever info he found, so it better be pretty shallow or cryptic, whatever was in there. Visual journals are much easier for me to keep - more of a PITA to put online.
So now I have to explain this here because there are actually people reading who I don't necessarily mind.
I found this today (had a day off for snow, my job doesn't suck in this way except now we'll be going until Jun. 3 in the summer) while vacuuming my 4 yr. old's room. Ephemera like this is the kind of thing I would save in a journal. I have no idea how something so old turned up now. I only remember, aside from the fact that I enjoyed this movie, that (maybe) DH and I were screening it for my older child who had found all the Firefly DVD and was enjoying them. $5.00? A matinee maybe. I thnk I was still pregnant with the 4 yr. old... we watched a lot of DVD marathons during that time as I was too sick to do a whole lot else... (nope - looked it up and the release date was Sept. 30 2005. Must have fallen out of an old pocketbook I gave the little one to play with... it somehow made it from a movie theatre in my old town in fall of 2005 to the corner dustbunny back in my house here in winter 2008. So the movie going experience in itself wasn't memorable - we have the film on DVD now and have watched it several times, what seems significant to me is that this just popped up out of kipple hell all of a sudden after over 3 years.
A reason I don't keep a physical journal anymore besides sketches is because it hits too close to my ocd-type tendencies. I'd keep all kinds of crap like this for no real reason. Now I just occasionally scan it in to maybe use in some kind of digital collage art? Someday?
It's tough to actually write some personal stuff in journals for me. I had some in the other entry that got deleted,... usually the fate of such things. |
