This is how we do it

I feel like every day I should tell this blog something new about me, even though I'm 90% sure nobody is reading them but maybe if I get more subscribers or something, idk.
Anyway, I just contracted an idea from a vlogger I follow. And yes, I contract ideas like diseases. I'm not even trying to be pretentious, I genuinely mean that when I catch an idea it consumes my life for a set amount of time, leaving me unable to function without it affecting my every move, thought and decision. Ideas are diseases for me and, to extend the metaphor, my idea immune system is not particularly strong.
Keeping track? Undedicated, starts traditions, catches ideas like diseases.
Anyway, the latest idea that has me metaphorically wheezing my way up stairs and reaching for the hypothetical tissue box is the idea to accumulate videos of events in my life and make a documentary at the end of the year, possibly even making it a yearly tradition.
(I would like to stress that this was not my idea, a vlogger on youtube is also doing it and inspired me.)
I like having photo albums and I used to keep quote books of my friend's hilarious and often baffling moments but now I'm becoming more into the video format of memory-keeping and story-telling. After all, who doesn't love watching home movies? And I would love to be able to SHOW my future children how I lived and the beautiful friendships and experiences that I had rather than just telling them. Stories fascinate me and, as I learn that memory can be altered by how the individual wishes to remember it, I want to get every story right.
So let's see how long I stay dedicated to that one. My temperature is pretty high though. Metaphorically.

Positive Memory of the Day:
Boot-scooting to Sexy Back at several birthday parties, more lately an old friend's 18th. You can actually boot-scoot to just about anything with a good beat.
