What kind of journal do you keep? What color?
I have a purple leatherette journal I found at a drugstore and I just write anything and everything in it using a letter format. I guess I use this format because I loved reading Anne Frank's diary. I guess I'm a nut for WWII era history and all that. My grandfather and his two brothers served in the armed forces during that time. Grandpa was in the Army fighting in the South Pacific theater, his older brother was in the Navy working aboard a naval vessel on what was then a top secret (and very state of the art) radar spying technology at the time, and his younger brother was involved with transcribing the Nuremburg War Trials as a typist.
Anyways, I'm digressing. What kind of journal are you keeping?
