hello! My first post in my new journal. I don't actually know who can read it (or why they would want to. scary thought.), but whatever.

I've just read wolfie's h ow to write a journal thing. I'm going to try to do that, as i think it'll be good for me, but I'll more likely be using this to babble about whatever i just read in the papers/ books/

That is MORE than enough for one post XD No worries haha.
Well reading can be good because you give your mind a chance to settle without actively worrying about every little thing? *tilts head*

And yeah that huge list of emotional states *laugh* I use like... a few XD Some of them I don't even know what they are to be honest XDXD

heh, good to know. i can be long-winded when the mood takes me, too.

yes, only i've been doing that for years now... which hasn't gotten me very far, hahah. it really is my escape though, to a vaguely worrying degree- (like last winter when i had my breakdown-y-thing in china i remember stumbling into a youth hostel cold and so low i was nearly crying and all i could do was read on my laptop in bed for three days, leaving just once a day to eat. it seemed like a drug. that kind of thing.) nevermind.
eehhh the easiest thing would be to sign up to some history course that involves lots of reading cos i'd probably do that anyway, it's been interesting me more and these days. i'm just too lazy, that's all. *shot*

i foresee many long minutes wasted picking the right one in my future. i think you have the right idea.

That sounds a little bit worrying yeah... ^^;;;
Reading lots of history sounds kinda nice. =3 Although... I'm not able to read very well at the moment. >.> My focus is totally off, I can't keep my concentration at all - which has been hell since I'm used to read like... all the time XD But yeah... I'm "saving" myself with audiobooks at the moment. My concentration deal better with them than with pure text right now... so it works out okay at the moment..

It's not that bad! it's just as you say, it stops me worrying. which stops me dealing.

I know what you're referring to (which is why most of my reading is fanfic *wince*). it's another depression thing, isn't it? I find it makes it easier to set little targets- like, if you sit down to read, you don't get up until you've read the whole chapter. the more you get into it, the more your mind settles. and then you find you don't really want to stop. i dunno?
