How fun! Oh that would be lovely if you could ge some screencpas! The one I was thinking of was the green/turquoise one Fanny wore a couple of times towards the end of the movie. It had what looked like velvet cuffs and collar. I just liked it a lot! I agree about the hats, they looked so ridiculous! I don't know either how correct they were, but I didn't like them in any case! :P That IS a coincidence! How fun!

I cried more than once. It's such a sad story really and to know it really was their fate... it was so tragic. I found the movie visually very pleasing. Very dreamlike captured. Perfect for a movie about a Romantic poet. Which pelisse do you mean? I could take a screencap of it. I found the hats ridiculous. I kept thinking: did they really wear hats like that or is it a Fanny thing. What a coincidence, I just watched this movie today! I cried more than once.

Wow Alyssa! That's impressive! It's true I suppose what you said, some day my grandchildren (!) will know me better if they read my journals. At the moment though, I couldn't imagine anyone reading them! I wouldn't like them to... Hello Gillian, I am so glad you decided to comment! It is always so fun to hear that people are reading my blog, even if they've never commented before! I know exactly what you mean about seeming immature in the earlier entries. Even though I haven't journaled for that long, I find that to be the case too! 34 journals?! Wow Alyssa! That’s impressive!

When I first began, I was 14 or 15, I think - reading back the old entries they seem so immature! I wrote more then, I think, but it was more just the everyday, mundane things. Now, I write sometimes daily, sometimes weekly... I went more than a year, between my first and second years of college, without writing a thing. And I journal more about the important things, or problems weighing on my mind, now; important conversations or events of impact. (I've been reading your blog for a while, now, by the way, but only just stopped "lurking"!) I journal, but certainly not every day.

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 22:56:37 +0000 http://myaustendreamworld.com/?p=2299#comment-1535 I love the quote from Northanger Abbey! I too love to read old journals and find out what and how people thought years ago. I've kept a journal on and off since I was 10 years old. (I am on my 34 joural now!) I used to write everyday about almost everything I did (which resulted in my getting to bed rather late...). Now I just write whenever I feel like it or when I want to be sure to remember an event or conversation. I also add in extra things like Francine said she does. I'm so glad you've started journaling! Someday your grandchildren will read them and get to know you even better! :) ~Alyssa I love the quote from Northanger Abbey!

That sounds interesting! I'll have to have a look at it. Thanks for telling me about it! I'm impressed with your journal writing! Good job keeping it up! I can well imagine that keeping a journal has to do with you becoming a writer. It must have been good practice. Francine, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother! The way you write to her in your journal is beautiful. It must be very special to you, and I am glad to hear that it helps you keep her always with you. I am sure she is happy about it too! I had a journal I wrote when we were on our six months trip around the world, and in that one I also put in tickets and things like that too. It's fun to look at them now. But I don't put any in the journal I write at present, but I'm considering whether maybe I shall now... We'll see. It's so fun to hear that many others out there write journals too!

The one that I now writing is my fourth. I'm not writing every day. Because some days are verry borring ;-) My journal is verry special because I'm writing to my grandmother. She died five years ago and I miss here verry much. This way she is always with me. My journal is full of tickets, photos and so on. I hope I'll write for a long time. Francine Dear Aurora,

It was only since I've started following that community that I realized that many people use quite a bit of visual input to their journals. I'd always simply written my entries. See the community here: http://community.livejournal.com/embodiment/ I started keeping a jouranal when I was 10, sporadically, stopped, then started again when I was 14 and I've kept it up since then, and I'm about to turn 50. Keeping a journal probably had a lot to do with me becoming a writer (I've had two books published). My entries are starting to get more sporadic again. After years and years of faithfully filling out a page EVERY SINGLE DAY I now have periods where I might skip a week or two.

I know what you mean, sometimes writing is such a good way to release frustration. It can be such a help to me at times just to write down thoughts and feelings, to get it out of my head, and get clearer about things. Tilney is truly fantastic! And as you say, he is always right. ;) And no, we don't begrudge him that at all! I wasn't aware that you had stopped all together Viktoria. Huh, that's interesting. I think you should take it up again! :) That is a great quote Rebecca!
