This notebook is from a time spanning a couple community colleges and a trip by myself to stay in hostels in San Francisco by myself. Circa mid-2000’s.
The first half is blue pages, the second half is red pages, and they have iconography from the anime printed on them.
There are very few notes remaining.
I asked Clover to grab a random notebook from the box, and I suspected this would be the one they chose. 
Haha, I’ve been trying to document these subjects for a long time.
The current iteration would be covered by the notes collected in media and computing. “Gatherings” are not as relevant to me, tho I do have some geographical relevant projects in the works.

When I come upon a word I don’t know very well, I write it down. This was one such list. Each color means a different session where I was taking notes.
The colors are from Sakura brand fine tip pens. Clover has the pens now, and I’ve replaced a few over the years.
That list is a good start for creating language notes. 
A note containing addresses in San Francisco, of various hostels.
A note listing what appears to be fantasy roleplaying locations, with “layout” notes. Not sure if I was designing stylesheets or video game levels…
The last note is a torn half page, with a name in kana above an email address.
The top half was my email address I gave them.
When is stayed in the hostel I roomed with two travelers, one from Japan and one from Mexico. At the time both my Japanese and Spanish was somewhat passable, so we become fast friends!
That night we bought a six pack each of an American, Japanese and Mexican beer, and stayed up late comparing our respective upbringings and cultures. It was great meeting other weird folks, since they are more likely to reflect on, well, everything.
I emailed them a few times, but my life was moving very fast at the time, so I wasn’t able to mantain a connection.
It’s a hotmail.com account.
Since the book is tiny, and the cover can be replaced, Clover has taken it.
