I would never, ever seek lighter fuel again for handwritten books, even on a promise, after that experience.<BR/>And the cringe factor! You are so right. The diary stuff you read years later is definitely cringe factor, but at least when you read it as the writer, you know you've gotten over it. That's the beauty of it all ...sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-24222281067618409042008-11-09T07:08:00.000+09:002008-11-09T07:08:00.000+09:00Well my take on this is that your diaries saved yo...Well my take on this is that your diaries saved you from making a very big mistake. Why would you want to be married to someone who didn't accept EVERYTHING about you, whether he liked it or not. Not a good way to start a marriage methinks. I could read your bitchy stuff and still like you, cos we all secretly have that shit in us.<BR/><BR/>But I resonate with what I call the 'cringe factor'. Reading stuff that an angst ridden 21 year old wrote and saying to myself, "Shit Michelle, get over it!' I guess I did.<BR/><BR/>I am entrusted with a very important task for one of my friends. If she dies before me, I have to get ALL her diaries and burn them. I hope I remember where they are hidden and get there before anyone else does. I am not sure I am going to be able to explain what I am doing in her house stealing books, but maybe the truth will do.....Dr Mad Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274692672575145183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-86674568226414227402008-11-08T20:26:00.000+09:002008-11-08T20:26:00.000+09:00the writings of y/our diaries are footprints we ca...the writings of y/our diaries are footprints we can revisit, to understand why we have walked this way and that, and to plot where yet we might wander to, when the sand beneath our feet's still wet...McCabeandcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16893991648155924016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-34731197764610848432008-11-08T14:12:00.000+09:002008-11-08T14:12:00.000+09:00diaries burnt lesson learnt xxdiaries burnt lesson learnt xxsarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-75443570848038400532008-11-08T10:17:00.000+09:002008-11-08T10:17:00.000+09:00trespass: a fence seems an obvious denoter of spac...trespass: a fence seems an obvious denoter of space. it allows some people to plead ignorance of the more potently person boundaries, and transgress beyond into the teritory of otherness, your unutterably personal, without any qualms. regardless of the excuses for such ignorance, people who are willing to cut through your private barbed wire are not to be messed with - or married!<BR/>a painful lesson, but you made the right decission. anger is protective as well as destructive. <BR/>love you!<BR/>ckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-43171035444400079822008-11-08T08:13:00.000+09:002008-11-08T08:13:00.000+09:00She made a good choice in you Ramsnake!She made a good choice in you Ramsnake!sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649507973626411498.post-56588467881782460702008-11-08T06:37:00.000+09:002008-11-08T06:37:00.000+09:00Knowing her as you do, you can probably imagine ho...Knowing her as you do, you can probably imagine how many years of diaries/journals my beloved has created. Well, I have been allowed to peruse a few of them but only to view the many sketches and certainly not to read even a single word of them! I don't think I would have had the courage to do so in any case.<BR/>Another thought provoking and eminently readable post - brilliant!ramsnakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296768249155952862noreply@blogger.com
