I think I have sufficient distance from my diary-keeping days that I could do it. I mean, that ten year old SO isn't me.
Man, sleeping all day is predictably rough on getting to sleep at night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, I looked at my college diaries, but didn't bring those. It was still too recent and painful (and I'm 30!). I brought a diary from freshman year of high school, but ended up only reading from my 6th grade diary (I was 11, and it was required for a class). Twenty years was sufficient space, I think.
But you obviously got to pick and choose exactly what you were reading--so some people skipped over parts, or didn't read the entries about how their new stepmother was a whore (someone mentioned specifically NOT reading those!), etc etc.

One of my favorite excerpts from the sixth grade diary went something like "Why did I cut my hair? Ugh. It looks awful, and I just know Angie Tarr (who is so stuck up and mean and has to imitate me) will say "Why did you cut your hair, it looks ugly!"
I honestly have almost no memory of that girl, but apparently I disliked her a lot! If it hadn't been a diary for English class, I wonder what else I would've said about those kids!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Those 9 year old and 16 year old and 20 year old aren't today's-me as well, but they are parts of me. And usually, the diary parts are the parts I wanted to keep away from the humanity, for my own 9, 16 and 20 year old sake.
And oh, ita. I hope you'll fall asleep easy and soon.

I had some impassioned journalling in my mid 20s that...no, no more of that. I'm not down with that chick.
Have been swallowed up in Millionaire Matchmaker. Hopefully this will put me to sleep.

Oh. My. God.
Every time I think it's a shame I don't watch enough TV, someone reminds me why I'm not watching so much of it as I used to (well, apart of the "changed my entertainment consumption, more books and live music and music", etc). And I'm thankful for those remindings.

argh. I tried to post, and it just hung there, not posting, so I hit the stop button and tried again.
