Time Capsule

Recently, my mom sent me a lot of stuff from when I was a kid. One is a journal from 20 years ago. Thursday is the 20th anniversary from when I began that journal. As a fun experiment, I will be posting my journal here on LJ, 20 years later

You have no idea how eager I am to read your entries. I am so excited to enter the mind of young Peter, going through puberty and divorce, etc.

Which reminds me of another thing. In having to transcribe these things, I was equal parts girl crazy and neurotic.

That's pretty cool. I wish I had my journals still.

i can't WAIT to read these posts. seriously. one of the coolest things ever.
not only for you to see where you were and compare it to who you are now because of it, but as an "outsider", reading it and seeing into your mind.
plus, there's the added bonus for me who tries daily to delve into the minds of 13 year old boys (among other ages) and will love the insight and thought process.

totally excited!!

Thanks! So many parallels to my life now: clinging onto the old places, not willing to make new friends (I'm several pages into reading it, and only 1 new friend is mentioned). I don't know what insight I can offer into the mind of a 13yo boy, it's mostly girls. It's funny to note that my cursive writing is about the same now as back then.

this is gonna be fun!

i found my old diary recently. it was pretty boring. mostly boys, fights with mom, and how much i hated my life.
i was a loner, and it was evident. wonder what i did with those.....
