you'll find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee, it's better in the matinee.

I've considered deleting all of my entries prior to January of 2003. But I don't believe in getting rid of old journal entries--no matter how embarrasing or pathetic--because it properly chronicles exactly how you felt at the moment, and besides, you never know if you're losing valuable information or not. But there's a few entries in here that I could stand to off. Mostly one-liners. I hate writing short entires now--back when I was first getting hooked on the writing thing, the easiness of updating LJ made me prone to making several short entries a day. Now, I'm more of a "say everything you want to right in one place" person, so those early days with six short whiny entries a day bother me for some reason.

Had a weird dream last night. I was driving somewhere, and it was night. Suddenly I couldn't see. My mom asked me if I knew where we were going and I kept lying and saying that I knew, although I couldn't see a thing. I woke up to have my blanket all over my eyes. Uh, yeah.

I'm craving some form of physical signs of affection. A hug would be nice. I don't know; I'm just kind of reveling in my patheticness right now.

I totally feel you on the not deleting/getting rid of old journals thing. No matter how painful it is to reread it, it was how you felt at the time, and it's part of you. (I know I cringe when reading some of my stuff from HS). Maybe you could consolidate the one-liners into one entry to clean up the clutter?

one day i went super crazy and made all my old entries private for some reason. and now i'm in the habit of at the beginning of the month doing the same for the past entries. i don't know why, but i think it helps me wrap stuff up in my head, if that makes sense.

Why exactly do you want to delete the entries? Any reason? I read back through some old entries and sometimes become ashamed, in a way. But I don't know that I'd want to get rid of them .. for the simple reason, it's neat to go back sometimes and just see how much you grew, or whatever, lol.


*HUGS* I pray you get to feeling better!

I'm actually in the process of privatizing a lot of older entries, myself. Ones that don't represent me and what I am today.

The first few times I read your title, I thought 'Matinee' was actually 'Manatee'. I was pretty confused.

"The Dark of the Manatee" would be a very, very interesting song...! Hee!

Get off your high horse bitch. You don't get affection because your a fat fuck retard! And you crave it out your ass. Wah-wah-wah! I don't want to see how fucked up and selfish I am! Because I can't handle my whining obsessions!
