to begin

I'm going to use this place to journal, to ponder, and to record thoughts, whatever comes to mind. Right now I'm thinking about using this as a place to keep tabs on working on losing 25 pounds. I'm almost up to 160 and I just can't deal with being that heavy. I also want to try to get into the art room and start doing SOMETHING. I need some kind of inspiration - maybe I'll wind up like Shelly suggested and just set up a sheet of paper, lay out my pastels and pencils, and whenever the mood strikes go in and put something on there. Even glue found objects; write a word; whatever happens to come to mind, and see what I wind up with. Who knows? Maybe a random scribble will turn the lightbulb on and I can go from there. I have to kick start the creativity. It's been dormant too long. I was feeling kind of down yesterday - kind of self-... if not loathing, then dislike. I think it's more hormones than anything else, but maybe time to start examining that a little more. I've often thought about taking a drive to Oberon Jr. High and just walking around there again, seeing if I can spur some memories and work through some of that. It was such a bad period and I don't remember much of it. I feel like it's time to start working on some of that.
So, I guess that's it for now. I'll try to get back here regularly. I can type here a lot more easily than I can write in a book.
