On a side note, whenever I get a new journal (paper or electronic), my very first step is to draw a crappy cover on the first page. That’s easy for my because I lack the skill to draw a nice one. This kinda “breaks the seal” for me. It’s slightly ugly now, causing me to not feel bad about anything else I put in it afterward.
I actually use the first page to write a big "$100 Reward If Found" message with my phone number and a special email address. I've never lost it yet, but if I ever do and get it back for only $100 I'll consider it money well spent.
