One Year Diary

In my mom's garage, there are two or three one-year diaries that belonged to my great-aunt. My mom came into possession of them, and they are absolutely wonderful to read. Mostly they mention things like "Did the laundry and went to the store. Weather was cloudy", the mundane details of everyday life. But they're great. A documentation of an entire year of life. I was inspired.

And thus, I made one resolution this year: to keep a one-year journal. And I have. I purchased a 2010 Moleskine notebook, and everyday I write down a synopsis of what happened the day before. At first I wrote it in the physical journal, but soon I moved on to writing it on Post-it notes to add in later. Eventually, it morphed into an online thing where I simply updated an un-posted Blogger entry to reflect the previous day's events, with the intention to eventually transfer everything over to the physical notebook.

And there is where the treat for people who have me on an RSS feed comes into play. Today I mistakenly posted the entry. Every one of my days since early February. I immediately removed the post, but as suspected (and confirmed by my own Google Reader), the RSS feed still exists. So to all of you who now have received a list of my day to day life, I ask the following:

1. You can feel free to read and enjoy. I looked over it and I'm not bothered by what it contains. I'd prefer if it didn't go any farther because of the other people mentioned, but if you've already looked over it you'll know I live a pretty boring life.

2. Please ignore the few dreams I've mentioned. That was the only embarassing part, the things that didn't happen.

3. Don't pass on the name of the person who potentially did porn.

Other than that, I guess you can just consider this an added bonus for being a fan. Kudos!

I read the whole thing. Skimmed most of the dreams though. I was confused what it was. Amused that I was mentioned.
