Hm What To Do With a Blog...

Haha. I just realized I made a blog in like December. I wonder why. It's empty. Just proves how utterly boring and pathetic I am. No wait, I shall be uplifting and cheerful! Because I was telling Jasmine about how emo and complaining-y our, well at least my, long-time-ago diary entries were...and still are. So from now on, I will try to be less complaining-y and more...cheerful?...in writing, I mean. By the way, Jasmine is one inspirational person. I make blog so I can comment on her very awesome one!

Anyway, I don't know what else to say, so I'll blog about my other blog haha. I've been journaling for the past...well, since 7th grade. I have very beautiful spiral 70-page notebooks for each year, so I guess I'm on my 5th one. And okay, they are falling apart and look horrible (I decorated the last 2 with stickers though!), and I misplaced a couple of them because I scattered them around the house. Because I thought that would increase the chances of Ashley not reading them. But I should go retrieve my journals now, since she realized they are not worth reading. She said not only is my handwriting unbearable, but my life is also unbearably boring. Even so, I'm glad I kept at the journal. It's nice to have a reference book for your life. Like the other week, when we had our sophomore chapel, I reread my journal entries about the 8th and freshmen chapel and compared. That was nice. Then again, most of the time when I reread my journals, I think I'd rather burn them. But burn my precious, priceless memories 0_0! I think not. So instead, when I reread them, I'll slap my head with my hand, stick them back in the closet, bookshelf, under the bed where they belong, and vow not to read them again until I'm 40.

I encourage everyone to journal.

Hi! Dude, we sound like such moms: "Memories! Scrapbooks! Journals! Cookies!" By the way, this is an awesome first entry. A while ago, I heard of an event at certain cafes or something where adults bring their old diaries and read them aloud. It is kind of like a poetry slam, but with old teenage diaries. Maybe we should go one day in the future. Have a nice day!

Hey Melissa.
Your blog is funny.
No wonder you're such a good writer, you're constantly writing in journals for so long. Keep it up!

Awesome Melissa. You joined the blog fad. Add me on your list of oh-so-wonderful-people! haha. In reply to your comment, I'm not much of a blog person. I like blogging to myself, keeping it hidden to myself. I don't like spreading my feelings so the whole entire world gets to know my oh-so-secretive thoughts :P.
