SubscribeOriginally, I was going to transcribe it to text, but after confirming with MTM that my handwriting is (relatively) legible, I decided to scan the pages instead. I have redacted some identifying elements, but nothing too significant. What follows are the first five pages.

So what did you think? Did you enjoy this glimpse into my

Censorship! What's with all the blackouts!
You're unique. Just like everyone else;)
Good for you for posting something so personal!
This is pretty cool. This really does let us know more of who you are. Thank you for sharing yourself!
I found it interesting. It is storytelling and yet not too because you are sitting writing what you see, what you think what you feel. Obviously journaling but I enjoyed reading it.
I used to keep a journal (on my computer) about 4 years before I met my husband. I wish I still had it because it would interesting to read now. The guy I was dating at the time was my first love, he was 9 years older and we lived 2 hours apart. It would be interesting to see what I thought then of my life (student, live in nanny) becasue while I remember the time our perspective shifts when we have the view from years past.
How do you feel about what you wrote then? What's your perspective on those days from where you sit now?
I hope you'll share more. I enjoyed reachign into the mind of SFSG.
I really enjoyed reading a glimpse into SciFi Single Guy's Life.
More please......
I love seeing someone's handwriting. Yours is totally legible. I loved this post.
The one thing that struck me was how similar your writer's voice was then to how you are now. It's just so clearly You writing that, but in a different time and place. I like that.
I'd love to read more if you're willing to post it, it's interesting!
Shit! I forgot to enter Munchkin's contest! Damn. Sorry, Munchkin. I think the H1N1 ate my brain.
I like that your voice on paper is very close to your voice online. Also, I am totally impressed with your penmanship. I can hardly read Dave's chicken scratch.
"It would kill me to meet someone like me."
Wow. I think I was the opposite at that age (we're about the same age, right?)... all I wanted was to meet someone a lot *like* me.
Keep it up!
What an amazing thing to share!! I really liked this. And I loved that it was handwritten. It came across as so much more personal.
Your journals were/are way more eloquent than mine, which consisted of pages upon pages of me whining about not having a girlfriend.
I was emo before emo was cool, I guess.
