Prefatory Notes:

1. This blog will only contain journal entries I made between the ages of 13 and 18, from 8th grade (1992) to sophomore year of college (1997).

2. Entries will be out of yearly chronological order, but I will attempt to post on the same day and month as the original entry.

3. "Shouting the poetic truths of high school journal keepers" is a line in Sonic Youth's "Skip Tracer," a song I loved when I was 16.

4. Though I had an inkling to do a blog like this for a while, it was recently inspired by Sarah's similar project.
