HER DIARY

>Saturday night I thought he was acting weird. We had

>shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he
>was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he
>made no comment. Conversation wasn't flowing so I
>suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk,
>he agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him
>what was wrong - he said, "Nothing." I asked him if it
>was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing
>to do with me and not to worry.

>On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply
>smiled and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior;
>I don't know why he didn't say, "I love you, too."
>When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he
>wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat
>there and watched T.V.; he seemed distant and absent.

>Finally I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later
>he came to bed and to my surprise he responded to my
>caress and we made love, but I still felt that he was
>distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else. I
>decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided
>to confront him with the situation but he had fallen
>asleep. I started crying and cried until I too fell
>asleep. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that
>his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a

Well, I'm going to use it - lol. I don't use that very frequently at all, but I laughed for that one.

The key - don't think to hard.

That would be Kansas basketball for me, and the last part won't come true for awhile.

Speaking of which...I had to keep a several-times-daily journal for my counselor ONLY...but the wife HAD to get into it, accused me of "spying on her" (what ever happened to threapist-client confidentiality?)...

To get around the snooping, I eventually had to use German written in Sutterlinschrift or English using Cyrillic characters, and for some pages I resorted to "Napoleonic Code" (writing backwards in German)...it got ugly after that (Not to mention having to decipher each page in session for the record...)

Speaking of German writing and printing styles, I happened to get a book from my German teacher about electricity that was printed in Fraktur. It's somewhat difficult to read at first (for a while I misread G's and S's, tz's and ess-tsets, and f's and s's), but it's not too difficult to get used to after about a half an hour to an hour of reading. Now the Gothic script, that's difficult to read. There is a copy of a page of Gothic text towards the end of my Intro to Gothic book and it's on the verge of being unreadable (partly because of the poor quality of the manuscript and of the copying).

WidreMann,

I became adept at reading/writing in Sutterlin and/or Fraktur when I spent 13 years as a WW II reenactor; eventually, I began the practice of filling out German Army paperwork...the sort carried by the average soldier, for individual reenactors. This included having special rubber stamps made, having the inks blended per period usage, special pens, even researching individual unit's "Feldpostnummer" to be placed on some of the stamps.

It turned out to be a lot of fun for me...especially with the unbelievable amount of papers required for each person ("Wehrpass, Kennkarte zugleich Personalausweis, Fuhrerschien, Passierschein, Bordellschein", etc., tailored to every individual's modern profile and specifications, then "backdated" to period).
