Diary of My 7-Year-Old Self

I post journal entries daily of the deep and insightful thoughts that I had as a 7-year-old. My mom saved this notebook and it was recently re-discovered in my attic.

Then I'm going to take a few days to upload the next batch and open up the blog for submissions! So if you have funny pictures or drawings or journal pages from your childhood please send them my way! I'll start posting follower-submitted content from you!

Thanks for all the support so far, lets make this blog cooler.

That is adorable, A+ adorable. And I'm doing well now, I'm really happy that people like my blog and I'm really happy that the Billy Jowel page may have connected with you on some personal level.

Day 50- May 1 1998

Last nite I saw Billy Jowel. His drummer whes throig drum sticks and I gut one uv the sticks.

Translation- Last night I saw Billy Joel. His drummer was throwing drum sticks and I got one of the sticks.

This concert is still one of the best memories of my childhood, I still have that drum stick in my room at home, and I still freaking LOVE Billy Joel. My parents took me to this concert and it was perfect. I love how I drew this and how I spelled "Jowel" instead of "Joel" because now I can picture Billy Joel as a bulldog named "Bully Jowel". 

This is a long post but this is so funny to me. If someone can do a good photoshop of my description of "Bully Jowel" I'll send you a hand written thank you letter or something and post your photoshopped picture of Bully Jowel on this blog. Ok, rant over!

          In time the werld wod be dfrint.

Translation- In time the world would be different. 

This is one of my favorite pages because it is so deep. Yes 7-year-old me, in time the world WILL be different. But what was I drawing? Is that guy with the grappling hook coming out of the boat and the guy on top of the pyramid shooting fire out of his hands going to change the world? Is this our future?!

Translate- I like bugs, the centipedes, worms, and especially spiders. Spiders have been around ever since the dinosaurs. 

This page rules and bugs are still super cool. Spiders are still my favorite bugs too and just look at that Black Widow that I drew!
