Wow. I was indeed dramatic as a teen, and I'd sort of forgotten that until now. I wish I could find some of the journals I kept at the time. The oldest ones I have are from my early 20s, and even those boggle the mind when I read them. How can a person can consume so much alcohol and/or drugs and still get up and go to work the next day?

I never kept a journal, but I did doodle a lot. I found some of my doodles in an old box in storage and was just amazed. I was fucked up! I actually had created my own alphabet, with like 30 characters, and whote several things in code as part of my doodles. It took awhile to decode them as I don't have the key anymore. Too funny.
I didn't lt school/work/life interfere with my drug and alchohol habits. Up to about 16 I stayed bombed as often as possible, which was a LOT!

Actually, I think having your own code is a great idea. I could never express anything very deep or personal in my attempts at journaling because I was afraid of it being read by someone else. Had I my own private alphabet, I might have benefited from journaling...instead I gave in to being afraid and gave up writing. (That's fucked up too, just in a different way! heh)

Indeed!

I'm no great writer of truths, but I need to unburden what passes for my soul, upon occasion. ;-)

Of course, NOW we all have LJ! yay!
