journals epitome of incomprehensibility Home... Last night I stayed up until 3 A.M. organizing my past journals. I have ten separate notebooks I've written about and around my life from 1999 until now. That's a whole lot of autobiographical crap. Anyway, I stuck on little labels and/or wrote with a sharpie on their inside covers what month and year they represented. The last one was an even August 2013-August 2014. I tend to finish journals in August. 140814 ... epitome of incomprehensibility For what turned out to be my December 2007-August 2008 journal I'd decided to write subject headings at the upper corner of each page. Apparently when one is 19-20, one's thoughts need headlines. I also thought they'd look better in all caps. Here they are (some names removed): PRECISION SOCIAL INSECURITY AND DREAMS EMBARRASSMENT ROMANCE AND WAKING LIFE FINNEGANS WAKE IN ELVISH MY NOVEL (?) LOVE, RAPE, PLAGIARISM?
