Is it just me?

I’m a scribbler… Ideas, phone messages, reminders, doodles all get written in haste on scraps of paper.

Over the years I have developed a way of not going totally insane by trying to do all the scribbling in one place.  I find the cheap 10 cent notebooks are working well for me.  Lots-O-pages, inexpensive and wire bound to keep things from becoming scattered.

I recently had to locate a phone number and I was flipping back through the pages of the current notebook.  I had the strongest idea that if this was found on an archeological dig (yep, those cheep-o notebooks are plenty durable) the scientists would study it and remark “They were obviously crazy.  It’s a wonder they survived at all.”

There are the usual phone numbers with names that aren’t legible.  The lists of things I plan (haha) to finish that day.  And then there are things that although I know I wrote them (my handwriting is unmistakable) I couldn’t tell you what they mean:

“Cloth – Not for us?  Supplying thread.”

“Postcard three steps zet.”

“Find out what others do and don’t do that.”

“Quaero, Why are you reading a script?”

“Space in city menus”

And my personal favorite “Cling with tails.”

Maybe keeping thing in one notebook isn’t the best thing after all.  I pretty sure it can be used as evidence…
