Notebooks.. Again
Current mood: Undecided
Well, I bought this diary, with a padlock. But the thing is, yesterday I wanted one so that I could write a diary with a pen instead of like I am doing now, encrypting files on the computer. And I can’t decide whether I should continue with secret, waay more safe, encrypted files, or if I should use this beautiful diary. Doesn’t seem that safe as encrypted files but on the other hand, people can’t read it if they don’t have the key. Or if you tear the lock away, either way I would know because I’m planning to wear the key in a chain around my neck, and hide the spare key so well that I’ll probably forget where ^_^.
I guess I could give it a shot. Not that I have a whole lot to write about, but there is a special feeling about flipping through pages you have filled with words. It’s like an accomplishment and you feel a little bit proud.
Then there’s this fun thing with going back in a year or two and see what you have written. And use different colored pens and so on.. I have no idea where this obsession with diaries and notebooks come from. It’s like.. now I have a blog, I have a diary, I have a video diary, I have a notebook where I scribble down things like ideas for stuff and so on. Why do I do all of this. First of all, I guess it’s like therapy. And second it’s fun to look back on.
From my late teens I started to write diarys, and I wrote a lot! But, alas, in a whim of paranoia and feeling better combined (however that works) I got rid of all of my diaries. And that was a stupid thing to do, but I couldn’t handle the thought of someone might reading them, and second, I felt better at the time so it felt almost like a spring cleaning. Out with the old, in with the new or something like that. I burned all the pages that contained so much self hatred and angst.
I am also adding a picture of a notebook I just couldn’t resist. Don’t know if you can see it, but it has a slight, slight shade of yellow to its pages. I think it’ll be my next ‘idea book’, if I manage to fill the pages of the one I already got.
And on another note: I’m adding a link (in swedish) about how certain people (if not all politicians it seems) wants to censor the internet.
