i have always been a writer in my mind. to this day i still keep a journal to update with my latest ramblings and thoughts on life. it's one of the sweetest and hilarious ways to look back on what was going on in my life and how i felt about it. enter my lisa frank journal from when i was 8 or 9 years old. i just stumbled on this gem for the first time in 10 years and it did nothing but make me laugh hysterically! i thought it would be fun to write my answers now, almost 15 years later.
um how beautiful is this lisa frank polar bear and penguin cover?!? i remember at this age i HAD TO HAVE lisa frank folders, notebooks, everything because they were sooo cool. i also have always had an admiration for polar bears and their majestic-ness. when we went to the zoo they were always a must see.
in case you can't read my horrendous handwriting, here are the answers ( i also wonder when i decided to cross some out and add to some ) :
favorite color: blue ( i didn't know this was ever a favorite color of mine? i always thought it was either orange or green. i think i actually remember picking this because it was everyone else's favorite color at that time. go me, be a follower. )
favorite food: Bar-B-Q ribs ( wanna know why this is no longer my favorite food? i was eating them one time and a strange smell came when i got to the bone. it make me feel like an animal tearing meat off of a bone. to this day i still struggle with eating any meat on a bone. )
favorite song: i'm gettin nuttin for x-mas ( uhh, maybe because i got this as a christmas present? )
favorite group: cranberries, blinda, spice girls, mia, alea ( the cranberries were my mom's favorite group and they were the first concert i went to. blinda is belinda carlisle and i looooved the song "heaven is a place on earth" (have you seen this music video, what?!) and "circles in the sand". classics! and spice girls, duh! who didn't love the spice girls? and mia=mya mainly because of this song "ghetto superstar". we had a dance to it. embarrassing. and alea=aaliyah which i'm not sure why? )
favorite movie: the hunchback of n.d., titanic ( haha, i couldn't spell notre dame. and i don't remember this movie at all so i'm not sure how it was a favorite but poor new choice, i hate titanic. it's sooo long so why on earth did i like it then when my attention span was even shorter?! )
favorite sport: gymnastiks, soccer, gymnastics ( i love that i corrected myself for improper spelling, haha )
favorite game: puzzules ( i guess when i crossed this out i didn't like games at all because i didn't put anything else. i probably just thought puzzles made me sound boring. )
favorite subject: math, social studies ( and i became a photographer. but i do still love math and solving problems! history has always intrigued me but i'm never good at remembering all the dates and facts. )
favorite pastime: ( first off, why did they ask this kind of question to a young kid? i'm amazed i knew what it meant. ) draw, read, sports
favorite animal: dogs, cats, puppy ( how boring of me. i guess i am biased towards puppies but i don't like when they turn into dogs )
favorite friends: Marget, Haly, Stacy, Whitney, Michelle ( let me reiterate how much i sucked at spelling! (the first two should be margaret and haley) do i keep in contact with any of these girls anymore? sadly, no. one's in chicago doing fashion, one just had a baby girl, one is married. crazy how we grow up so quick. )
