Perhaps you have all noticed that I really haven't written anything of consequence in the past God-knows-how-long.
This is because I have made the switch back to paper-journalling. Paper journalling is much more freeing and expressive than online journal journalling. For one thing, adding pictures is much easier and, I have the ability to write whatever I want about whomever I want and by the time someone else reads it, it probably won't matter ((Although it certainly CAN)). And if I want to delete (rip out and burn) an entry, I know it's gone. It's not stored on some back server somewhere. Or, better yet, a printout on some government file to be used against me in the future when BUSH III's American Morality Police rounds up the deviants and exerpts from this journal are used against me in my future tribunal.

Anyway, Our handwriting changes acording to our mood, and this is typed. I could be saying this while crying, laughing hysterically or half asleep. And you would have no idea unless I tell you so or put in my little mood box. And even if I told you so or put it in my mood box, would you believe me? How could you know for sure? What about the little tear drops on the page? In that way, paper journalling is more expressive.
