What Does Your Notebook Say About You?!

I was watching a programme today about Agatha Christie. They were trying to crack her code, trying to see what made her tick! One of the things they looked at was one of her notebooks (which have never ever been seen by the public before). In this wonderful book they found notes about her books and also shopping lists.

This made me think on how revealing a notebook can be about an individual. So I started to think about my notebook I keep in my bag, what is in it. I will list some of what is in it in a moment...So what's in your little notebook you keep in your bag. The one that goes everywhere with you. The one you use for shopping lists etc...(Not the one you only keep spells or recipes in! lol)

*****************************************

I went through my book and numbered the pages to make life a little easier! lol So what does

my notebook say about me....(I will add I've had this book for well over a year!)

Page 1:

At the top of the page it says Nana and is followed by a short shopping list of such things as Ham, Chicken and Smoked Haddock (my last shopping list for Nana before she died)

A note of a nusery name "Smiley Faces"..It's bracketd and underlined so I don't forget it

Another shopping list

At the bottom of the page and upside down is a not of "Rouraksh"...No idea what this is! lol

Page 2:

A note of a DS game called "The Settlers" and also "CSI: Dark Motives"

A friends address

A pagan book tittle and authors name

And another book tht is a witchcraft book

There's a couple of notes of YouTube videos "Bill Baily - Chaucer Pub Gag" and "The Usage Of The Word Fuck"

Old Xmas list of families gifts (well some of them lol)

Page 11: 7th Febraury 2008

It's a poem that I have written and curiously crossed out....

Why do I not remember
The things that you have
Said?
Of a life that has long
Since past.

Why is it so hard to have
The voice that I know
So well, speak softly in my head?

Why do all these precious things
Seem as thin as
Smoke?

Right at the bottom of this, not crossed out is:

A number now redundant
In my phone, that will belong
To another some time soon

All this refers to the reacent loss of my Nana

Another poem..Not crossed out..dated 18th April 2008

My breath..cold..shallow
Life. Soul. Breath. Darkness

Darkness closing around me
Life the cape of the reaper
Cold, Lifelss and Without
Form.

My breath. Hollow whispers in
My inner soul. It speaks to
Me of things that could.
Should, have been.

Whispers so cold. So Hollow.
So lonely. Hidden. Lost

Note from me: I need to get these written down properly, it was the first time I'd written in ages. One of the things known by only a few...I'm a published poet!
