As some of you probably know, I used to keep some quite intense art journals. Waaay back in the day on livejournal I used to be quite active in a community called jr__nal (you can see some of my posts here, here, here and here I believe) and I used to really enjoy it. But as I got older and I had less time, I ran out of interest for self-indulgent emo ramblings and watercolours and it ground to a halt. However, it is something I really enjoyed, and now I'm blessed with these little books chronicling my adolescence, which is nice.  Bit gutted I don't have that for the last few years too really.

So, the point is, I thought I'd pick it up. This time as a joint project to record my life as I know it, and also to help me improve my (dire) photoshop skills. So here are my first five days worth. Enjoy, and if you like them, check out more lists at 30 Days of Lists Flickr Group.

I'm a few days behind, so need to catch up over the next few days, but I've really enjoyed this experience so far. I know this is unlike usual content, but I hope you guys still like it, and if you don't - feel free to ignore.

Some of you will know already and I know I've mentioned a few bits here and there, that I'm having a bit of a complicated and difficult time in my personal life at the moment. I've found this exercise quite helpful! Its just a couple of minutes (maybe 20ish on average) out of my day to order some thoughts and just not worry about anything. I've really enjoyed it and hope I continue to as the challenge goes on.
