I Don't Keep Journals

I don't keep journals for many various reasons I will now list and go into detail about. Firstly, because I'm lazy. I barely put effort into most things besides school and field hockey. My second reason ties in with the first, because I never finish what I start. I have tried to journal/diary all throughout my childhood but I will fill up three or more pages and then give up and lose motive. It also has something to do with the way I game, I can tell you I don't believe I ever finished a video game in my life and most of the time give up on a game and never play again. There is only one game I do play avidly and that is Harvest Moon, though I will occasionally take part in Brawl because I have played/owned all of the previous games. Thirdly, because I care what people think of me, which I know is considered a bad thing to some people but I do not want to be judged for something I wrote on a certain day. And I, myself am very superficial, like this I would never tell anyone besides people who knew me when I was younger/family know I read manga, watch anime, or have been to a con, or anything of the sort unless they specifically asked. This is really bad to say but I have a normal girl image I strive to withhold, thus my avatar (and I know this does not pertain to everyone but it pertains to me) and I perfer living this way. I know it makes me seem fake, but it really has nothing to do with my personality, it is just something I do in my free time. Finally, I don't have anything anything of substance to write. I only have things in my small town life to write about on certain days like "OMG LYNDA IS A B TO DA OTCHNESS, HE DOESN'T LOVE ME!, etc." It's not like I don't have thoughts but none of them are earth breaking that will change the world in some important way, like the journal of an explorer or immigrant or something of the sort. I don't want people to remember me by a certain day where I felt like poo nuggets and another day when I was on Cloud 9.

Just a thought :/?
Does this make sense?

... um, isn't a blog basically a journal?

Anyway, did you ever seen the movie Kung Fu Panda? The moral of the movie was "be yourself." This is the best advice that I can give you. For a while, I tried to be other people, hell, that more or less discribes my younger years when I desprately tried to get into sports so I'd stop being picked on for being a nerd. But I learned to screw what other people think, just so long as the people who matter like me for who I am, it's okay.

In a way but I am not going to be posting a blog everyday or documenting anything monumental.
No I did not and I am myself
I just don't feel the need to tell anyone that
Because it doesn't define me as a person
It's just another hobby.​

I spent the first 14 years of my life trying to be exactly like my brother. Then one day I said **** that and acted how I wanted to act, talked how I wanted to talk, and dressed how I wanted to dress. Things could never be better now that I think about it.

Your blog doesn't have to be about your life. Mine are abou-

You know, being all myserious and speaking in riddles might be really cool in fiction, but in real life if won't get you anywhere. Honestly, it might be because I've had a long day, but I'm not getting what you're saying here. You don't blog often, you are you, it's just a hobby...

Okay, I've decided that only old, wise wizards and mythical monsters are aloud to speak in riddles anymore.

I'm not really trying to be anything
It's just that I don't have the need to proclaim
OMG MANGA & ANIME= SUPERCOOL
no offense​

Well you don't need to go around letting everyone know what you like. For istance, I'll only start talking about comics (both the western and eastern veriety) if someone bring them up. Just act the way you want to and life will become much better. Trust me, if I know anything it's to just be yourself. Acting the way you want to will draw people that are interested in you and will eventually honest care about you to you.

If they are brought up sure I'll talk about it
But never bring the subject up
I don't want someones first impression of me to be like
Oh the chick who likes da backwards book
I want it to be like "oh maddie's a cool chick who chillaxes back n stuff"​

Well it's okay to bring it up, otherwise you'll never know who among the people you know are into the same things that you are. Being into something is nothing to be ashamed of, I learned to get over the fact that I read Spider-Man in about fourth grade and it turns out that one of my friends likes the series too. How do I know this? Because I brought up the comics in a converstation about superhero movies.

And if your friends arn't into anime and manga, that's alright. They might enjoy other things that you like too.

Also, don't take it seriously if you get weird looks when you bring something up. I once mentioned Mega Man and everyone just looked at me funny. Oh well, I guess they don't like Mega Man. Well, back to talking about Metroid.
