10 things I don't want people to know about me.

I've been fascinated lately with my generations need to blog. What sort of attention-starved generation feels compelled to post its every mundane action on the web and invite all their friends to see?
Besides me, that is.
But you see, this page, if you'll notice, is called a journal, not a blog. A subtle difference, but if you'll remember, journals are where people of the past would write their most hidden thoughts and sacred feelings; a place where you could bounce ideas privately off yourself, and laugh at yourself years later. Journals were written for the writer, and the generations to come when the writer is comfortably dead and spared embarrassment.

So here's my journal entry. Not a blog. This is an honest look at how I think today, and I reserve the right to change how I think tomorrow. Here are 10 non-glossy-non-bloggy things about myself.

1. I don’t like the Beatles. I think Crowded House does the same thing, but better.
2. “Meet the Robinsons” makes me cry. Every time.
3. I’m not very interested in getting to know the people in my neighborhood.
4. I don’t like cats.
5. I’m a tree-hugger.
6. I usually vote Democrat.
7. I think most popular country music is nothing more than a marketing campaign.
8. I think Disneyland is more trouble than it’s worth.
9. I can eat Cocoa Puffs all day and night.
10. When I was 11, I lit the Johansons field on fire with homemade black-powder bombs.


There, I think that about covers it.
