The Journal Has Begun

I'm well on my way to creating my journal of my dreams. Actually, I wasn't aware it was actually my dream until a couple nights ago when I searched on YouTube about Journalling and found it it's almost like an extreme sport -- extreme journalling! Here are my favourite vloggers so far:

I mean, seriously, I had no idea it was such a huge thing until I began watching all these videos about journalling, which by the way, isn't unlike scrapbooking, I guess on a smaller scale and things you put in your journal are more personal and meaningful. You can have more than one journal going, according to SnazzyAvery. She has a journal, it seems for almost all occasions. I am not sure how mine is going to turn out, but hey, I am just getting started! However, I'm very psyched. And to boot, I am officially now on holiday so I can begin as soon as I have all the materials I feel I need to start! Right. I know, short entry today, but I'm so bushed

One More Day

I have a penchant for buying stationary stuff. It's not like I actually need, or use most of it, yet I still find myself handing my debit card over the counter - "Please, why don't you take my money again for these post stick notes I'll never use." I can hear the voice of Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail and in my head, he's saying those magic words - 'a bouquet of sharpened pencils."

So while we're on the subject of stationary - I knew I had a point to this post, and here it is: I have bought myself I leather bound journal. I don't know exactly what I'm going to write in it since I never know what to write in journals. I guess is the same reason I have a hard time keeping blogs. I am going to make a concerted effort, however. At least it will be easier to keep a promise to write a journal than it will to tell myself not to eat chocolate (I really need to stop doing that too). Anyway, at least the post stick notes and stationary I have bought might come in handy. All I need now is a polaroid camera. Or an app that makes polaroid frames! Then I can make an awesome journal with photos to boot! I figured if I am going to start taking pictures of stuff to put in my journal, I may as well go ahead and take a picture of it too! You know, to show it off. Because I'm not going to actually show it to anyone. I don't want anyone to actually read it! Hell no!

 

Right, I am gonna turn in and get some much-needed sleep.

See you on the flip side.
