[day 1] How should I start?

I have been a member of open diary since 1998. Its crazy to think 11 years ago I found this website after I first discovered the Internet. It is quite funny reading the old entries I wrote in this journal. My mother was talking to me about a month ago about the things I did in high school. (I’m 25 now, my 26th b-day is in 5 days). She mentioned "I wish I could get my hands on that diary that you use to keep online". I laughed. I was almost surprised that it still existed in open diary land.

I remember I had another account before this one and I wrote in that bad boy everyday. This girl I knew in school ended up finding my diary and reading all about my personal life. I was so embarrassed and she was a faithful reader… the unfortunate part was I happened to be a faithful writer. I made the account private because I didn’t want her snooping anymore. I forgot the password that I had set for the account and the open diary people deleted it. This was back before you could register email address and have the passwords emailed to you. Before I made it private I had printed over 500 pages of my diary and stuck them into a binder. I was a faithful keeper of my thoughts.

I think the reason why is I always felt like when I became older I would get altehemers and forget my high school years. Funny I say that because I cant really remember things that happened or even peoples names I was friends with. I look back at my old entries and wonder what the hell I was talking about because I used code names for everything. Haha. Silly me, I forgot to make a key to my code names. I guess at one point I thought I would remember my own code names forever.

Anyway. I want to keep up wtih my life. I am about to be 26. 26! How did I get so old so quick? Sometimes I feel like my life is just passing me by…
