all around I see

September 4th, 2008 by Inkytwist

The other day I discovered Listography and I am totally addicted.

It’s a great place to just record random things you’d rather not forget. I’ve always been a compulsive listmaker, anyway. (Did I ever tell you about the 35 page binder I made at the age of eight where I listed names, colours, words, cars, CD’s, actors, actresses, phrases, definitions, and places I’d want to live? IT WAS EPIC.) But I’ve really been enjoying a place where I can just write things without needing an explanation.

For example, this list comes in handy for me to remember all the random people I’ve talked to at work. It seems like every single day someone comes into my store that I know, and it’s both unnerving and interesting. It’s a reminder that I work in the neighborhood I grew up in, something I think I’ll appreciate in four years when I live somewhere where there are no familiar faces.

My favourite list so far has the most to do with this picture:

It’s the story of my life, people.

Listography is also great for recording wishlists, to-dos, and also things you’d like to be able to access online. I might have one or two lists that might not make much sense to you, but to me they’re a list of character names or a reminder to not bite off more than I can chew. It’s one of the reasons I love the internet, you can use it as an external USB hub.

    lol, isn’t it lovely? I’m done with it now, but totally keeping the bottle for nostalgia.

    Aaaaaah isn’t listography AMAZING?! I wonder if there’s an internet ADD diagnosis somewhere. I probably have it.
