My earliest memory of journaling was when I was 5 or 6 years old. My dad slid me some cash from our water store’s register and walked me to the general merchandise store on our street. With this allowance, I bought some candy and a small pocket notebook. My dad suggested buying the pads instead, as they were cheaper and had more paper. But I preferred the notebook. It was small enough to fit my hands. It had a cover. It felt more private. More personal.
I wrote about my day – the half-Japanese, half-Filipino boy at school I was crushing on, the Mojacko episode that afternoon, and my mom’s frustration with my disinterest in completing my Math homework. My mom found the notebook and read my entry. Recalling this event now, I imagine her reacting like the “Trying Kombucha for the First Time” meme – at first, aghast at my recounting of her tiger parenting, and then, awe at the fact that I wrote it all in English.
As far as I can remember, I have always written in English even though it’s not my first language. I’m guessing it’s because the novels I read were in English too. It was a gift to discover writing early on. Reading other people’s stories encouraged me to write my own. At a young age, I became both a chronicler and a sorcerer. I recorded my existence, and when that wasn’t exciting enough, my imagination conjured portals to different worlds.
After years of writing practice, I realize now that something in my brain gets reshaped, reorganized, and reinvigorated when I write. Starting today, I’m committing to writing more. I'm hoping that putting myself out there will help me stay intentional and accountable.
So to those who stumble upon this humble den of thoughts, welcome. I’m Raccoonteur. I hope you find my foraged stories as insightful and charming as I do.
Tsumugi: Ahh, that was back when Natsume-kun was still known as “Natsume-chan”… how nostalgic ♪
Natsume: Mikejima-senpai, your first job starts Now. You see that trash on the floor There? Could you take care of the Mess?*
Madara: On it~♪
Tsumugi: Hol– you’re kidding, right?!
I might be as good as human garbage, but there’s no actual trash here! I cleaned it up already!
*TL note: The word Natsume uses for “mess” (mojamoja) can also be used to describe someone with unkempt hair. It's the same word Natsume derives all his insulting nicknames for Tsumugi from (Mojacko, Moja-megane, etc)

Had a bit of an off night and was kind of confused on this until I did the refresher course...When I found Mojacko it was only the first episode and that still seems to be the situation as far as I'm aware.
Don't really have any idea about the other listings either
