Old Journals I

[foolish_m0rtal]

So now that I've got 13 days till I go off to college, I've begun to tackle the almost impossible seeming task of going through all my writing journals from 9-12 grade and  typing up parts of stories I write down/getting rid of incriminating evidence.

This page is from one of my first notebooks, apparently named "The Notebook of Doom and Mild Indigestion. " Apparently I was really energy conscious back then.

It takes a certain amount of grain
to produce enough bread
to provide one person with a certain amount of energy

It takes ten times more grain
To feed one cow
To make enough beef
to provide one person with a certain amount of energy

And then one has a sandwich

Giver of Life, milk, and beef

That's neat! I'm doing a similar thing with my old journals...just gathering copies of them in the event that livejournal ever DIES. I'm just trying to remember just WHERE I have my copies of entries before 2005...not on this computer, because I got it in early 2006. But I definitely remember taking hours and going through and copying them into word documents...

I wish I had a LiveJournal before. I mean, I used to keep journals ALL the time.
And then promptly lose them.
Having an electronic journal would have been pretty nice.
Nowadays, I've stopped using journals for everything but school notes and random story ideas.
You know, I also seem to remember lost word files. I think they're on a stack of floppies I have in a desk drawer. I never saved them on my computer because, like you, I got it in 2006 and it did not come with a floppy drive. The drive was also a certain Dell-tailored size, so I couldn't just knock out part of a plastic sheath and install my old floppy drive.
So, I would perhaps check your old floppy comrades as a start.
