Sometimes I actually do keep a journal, and one of my favourite things to do in it is write down things I learned that day. Usually it's stuff I learn about myself, or just random things I liked about the day. So I'm going to put down a few of them. (I'll probably leave out some of the extra personal ones. Sorry, I know those are the faves ;) ) The Journal I found is from this Falls Europe trip.

I appreciate imperfection - Girl with socks in high heels - I don't like when people thrust things in my face. Attractive men make me smile.
Saturday, Sept 26, London -
I like it when a man smells like food (that I like), I love Fall, I love to cuddle to much! I don't like having to eat the same brekkie days in a row. Weird things frigger moments, bad hip.
Sunday, Sept 27, London -
The most helpful person I've met in London was a lovely gentleman at the West Brompton tube station. Kids make me smile. I'm more spontaneous when I'm already doing something. Being out at night makes me more awake if I'm tired (being outside). I figured out why some cursive letters are what they are. I like boxer shorts. I feel like a gypsy in red and flowy things. When I want to do something, I should do it (like ask the guy w/the laptop if I could take his picture!)
Monday, Sept 28, London -
I can't meander, unless it's really pretty out and there are no people around. Otherwise I'm hopeless at it. If you travel, something you see will always remind you of something else. I am a social person who enjoys solitude. I have more fun when I'm silly. I like saying "steal" not "borrow", I don't like it when people ask "are you alright?" A lot. I AM.
Tuesday, Sept 29 London/Portugal -
You can laugh in your sleep, I did twice. I'm scared to speak French, affirmation that I come alive at night. If I think to much before I sleep; I don't. I love my friends. The pillows in Portugal actually DO feel like bags of lumpy potatoes - HILARIOUS. I like Portugal. Lots of stray dogs
Funny Expert. Mom - "Do you think the dogs here are like the sacred cows in india? "
Me - "What, you can't eat them?"
Wednesday, Sept 30 Portugal, Albufeira -
Weird looking oranges taste good. I appreciate gentleman - an old man tipped his hat at me. I have a very good sunburn.
Thursday, Oct 1, Portugal, Albufeira -
I ask a lot of questions, I haven't seen a female lifeguard yet and I'm not sure whether to be offended or take advantage of the opporunity. A little adventure makes me want more (parasailing today, next is hang gliding!) My nose is red enough to mistake me for the drunks last night.
Friday, Oct 2, Portugal, Albufeira -
It's fun watching other people have fun. The waves are your friends, but sometimes they're bullies and known you down. I ask a lot of questions no one that I know knows the answer to, and I should figure them out. I get more tired when I'm writing if I'm writing about my emotions.
Saturday, Oct 3, Portugal, Albufeira -
My teeth are not substitutes for nail clippers, either part. When the manager talks to you, you feel important. Ocean is joyful, playing waves. I crave salt and crunch. How can you crave salt when you're swimming in an ocean every day?
Okay, this is super long. I'll continue another time :)

This was fun to read, there were definitely a good few funny parts. You have a unique and interesting thought process.
ReplyDeleteSuch a neat journal! I love that you aren't simply writing down what you were doing.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all the tips, I really appreciate it.
I'm actually kind of jealous. I wish I could write my own journal like this. Again, jealous because you have travelled so much. :( Keep writing.
ReplyDeleteWell, you can, dearest! And Thanks guys. There's going to be more soon. I was there for a while :) You are welcome Rosie! =)
