I keep a regular journal besides LJ/DW.  I have since I was 9 years old -- it's a well-worn story I tell kids when we start weekly journaling at the beginning of each school year.  I was nine years old, in the winter of 1975/76, and my mom told me I had to go clean up the trash cans that had been knocked over in our alley.  In the slush and the ( Read more... )
