Essentially, this journal is FRIENDS ONLY.
What does this mean?
This means that you should drink deep the vibrant youth of the two fellows in that picture. Look at them and think long and hard about how awesome it was to be 14 years old, to have the worst moments in your life boil down to skateboarding injuries, canceled concerts, and break-ups. Think about how the bands you liked when you were 14 years old were the best bands in the world. Remember the way you felt when you realized that the jocks had it all wrong, that there was more to life than reaching the end-game of marriage and kids, and how you knew that livin' after midnight and rockin' 'til the dawn would always be a part of who you are.
Then take a deep breath and realize that you're not really missing out on much by not being able to see my journal entries. There's much more fun to be had elsewhere.
