A Notebook

Border's is going out of business. This makes me pretty sad because I've had good times in Border's and I've gotten some good stuff there. But I'm also kinda happy because everything is on sale...I got this really awesome notebook for less than $3, which is totally awesome. (Thanks Mom =) Keep this in mind because it will come into the story at a later time.


I've always had a hard time keeping a journal. I'll start and after a few weeks I just forget about it, lose interest, or both. I just don't have anything worth saying or I just repeat myself. If I do have something to say I feel weird writing in the journal after months of ignoring it. Maybe that's weird, but that's how I think. 


I thought the entire way home about what I should use the notebook I got for. I had a thought and it was a good idea, but then I had a better one. I'm going to try to use it as a journal, but not just any journal. I'm going to try a song journal. See, music is kind of a big part of my life. I don't constantly listen to it, but I love it a lot. I don't like riding in the car without some good music. Even bad radio music is acceptable. Music, for me, is sometimes a way of release for various emotions. I almost always have a song stuck in my head. And sometimes, for whatever reason, I just have the urge to write down random song lyrics, whether they're mine or someone else's. I think that I could better convey random thoughts or emotions through a song than actually using my words. Does that make sense? *shrug* Even if it doesn't, I'm moving on.


I think that my super duper, awesomely amazing, notebook would be perfect for my song journal. Now the question is...what song do I use now? The funny thing is that it's all Lifehouse songs that I want to use and they're mostly on the same album...ha. 


"I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what
I'm going to do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace"
