The diary is an art form just as much as the novel or the play. The diary simply requires a greater canvas.

Piano and pincurls
I was about two years old here. I wonder if anyone still pincurls their hair anymore. It used to make my hair look naturally curly when it was naturally straight. When I was a teenager I used those brush rollers that hurt your scalp but I endured it because I wanted to look "cool" for school. (hey, that rhymes!)
I vaguely remember the little piano I am playing in the photo. It looks pretty neat. I wonder if I just destroyed my toys or if Mom gave them away. I had a plastic doll I named Marilyn, and a tin tea set with flowers painted on the little plates and I loved that, too. It was fun being a kid.
I love to write, read, paint, draw, take photos, listen to music, travel, and stargaze. If I could live my life over again I would be an astronomer.
“Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.
Arthur C. Clarke
