No, njc, it's confirmation! LOL! As a counselor, I've always encouraged journaling. Even as a teacher, we did journaling. Nice to know I've been on track. (Rolling eyes.)

Actually, writers who are girls don't even need to use makeup. They look pretty anyway only because they write. Wonderbras aren't needed either.
