I've always been a shit journaler. I do it. And I stop. I do it. And I stop. And yet I've always viewed myself as a journaler, someone who values the written word, someone who wants their ideas, their thoughts and feelings to be recorded for generations to come. I've always loved the ideas of journals, of opening a book that someone before me wrote in. And I suppose that's why I journal-so someone else can feel that feeling-and, of course, because I'm terrified of being forgotten.

And so, I've decided to journal every single day. If I can't post here, I'll write it down to be posted the next day, or the next. I will journal my way to 2012 and, when the world is ending, look back and say "Ahh, I did something good there."
