Hi, guys! Geof here.

So I finally got around to working on an art journal, and I'm filling a nice, large journal at the moment. (I think it's like, 12''x8''? I dunno, it's a guesstimate.) I have a lot of decent magazine clippings, but here's the problem: I can't seem to find the right quotes/lyrics/etc. to post onto the pages to go alongside them.
Help?

I'd love it if you could reply to this with some of your favorite sayings: random song lyrics, excerpts from your all-time favorite books, quotes from movies you've seen that hits home. I don't have any standards: they can be happy or sad, powerful or easy, inspirational or depressing. Hit me with 'em!

Thanks, lovelies. Hopefully I'll be able to post some piccies, whenever I get around to buying myself a camera with birthday money.

<3.

there’s an interesting idea where if you think of a diary entry…we talk about songs being diary entries and all the rest… I love this idea that violence is loud and peace is quiet. And you break it down to the simplicity of a diary entry, and you go to yourself, “You know, on the happy days, I never wrote. On the happy days, there was no music. And on the happy days, there was no diary entry.”

-glen hansard

as writers and artists, do you feel this to be true? do you find yourself to be more creative when you're depressed? do you turn your sorrow into something? do you do what you do when you're at your happiest?

and pengiun-magpies, so it's not text only ^_^

an old journal - some scans... mostly from 2008.
The first half was lined, the other half unlined.. I like the second half better but what can you do. I journal just for me... so they're rough and unfinished in places .. where my brain puked all over the paper or something. :)

No one seems to take the time to ask you how you're doing - you want to grab a coffee? Maybe grab a bite..?

Out of this question and specifically the comment about how you shouldn't censor, my question becomes, how do you not censor.

I'm not concerned that someone will read my journal. In fact, I feel quite safe that no one will. But, I sitll find myself censoring what I write. Or trying to make it sound a certain way, or come across a certain way. Perhaps, I'm worried about how it will be in the future when I go back and reread (which I rarely do anyway), or fear of something else?

So, (for the mostly text-only journalers), how do you get over the self-censor block? (I in no way mean to exclude art journalers, it's just that I am text-only).

Do you just push through it?

I can finish uni at the end of next year.  What the fuck.

I'm going to take atleast ONE of those, and I'm thinking it'll be the entreprenurial one, however you spell it, which should be totally awesome.. because I can TOTALLY fit it in, since I have to extend my stay at USYD do to a double major.  Definitely doing these units.

Although, thinking of Paul Fawcett totally makes me sick.  His head is just so fucking big.  I'll probably actually see Ana around *rubs chin*.

Thanks for looking! :)

And I have no idea what to do with it! a bit of an idea of what to do with it! It's quite lovely, really - My friend gave it to me for watching her pet while she was on vacation in Florence with her in-laws. Its cover is leather, and it has a leather strap that keeps it closed... I guess the best way to explain it is to ... ( show it to you? )

So, problem? I have a day-timer, I have a drawing book, I have a notebook, and a quotations/song lyrics book*. I have no idea what to put in this, but I don't want it to just...sit there. Help...?

So vivid_child pointed me toward a website that allows you to collect your goals, and that reminded me of my own reading goals, so that's what's going in this book. Yey!

I also like picturesinspire's idea about a dream book. I don't dream scenarios, but I can probably** draw out what I remember. I have a spare moleskine that I got on discount... I think I'll start one of these too. Next post will have pictures of stuff in books, I swear. :D

ETA: I know this isn't the bestest-best way to introduce yourself to a new community... ಠ_ಠ
*Forgot to mention this too... @_@
**I say 'probably' because I'm really rather terrible at drawing, hah... but I still do it.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

I posted a question a few days ago about what adhesives I should use to hold card stock down on a journal cover. You guys were really helpful and now I can show you the finished product!

I hope everybody had a nice Halloween / Samhain / Day of the Dead / etc celebration!
