Re: I hope someday you'll join us...
first thoughts beyond the basics...this is fun.
i think i was around 7 or 8. i was in the guest
bathroom at my grandparents', looking around as we got
our stuff in. it was sort of surreal with my
grandma's interesting hand-crafted and/or plastic
decor :), and i thought, "what if i'm not really
alive? what if i'm just someone's dream. what if i
just stop being?" i think mark twain would have found
a kindred were we in the same time and space.
peter, your journal was a lot more insightful than
mine. mine was purple with a rainbow on the front...a
cloth material. in it, using a brown colored pencil
and _terrible_ handwriting, i remarked on my love for
my dogs and any animal i found, macarroni and cheese
and the daily minutia of seeing my friends and
playing. i thought a lot...but i don't think it was
about much :)
later there were the years of awful, sappy poetry.
followed by teen angst. i threw all that stuff out
one day, just disgusted by it. i'm sorry that i did.
i think i was dumb enough to toss around 10 journals
(when i was 19 or 20).
