This one is purely recreational.  This one also requires some context.

About 3 years ago, before I realized that Spotify was a thing, I would use this Google slide to listen to music.  I would listen to the radio for hours every day, and if I heard a song I liked, I would write down a line of it.  I would later find the title of the song via searching the line on Google, and upload it to my slide. 

Over the 2 years I used it, I must've gathered hundreds, possibly even a thousand different videos of music.  I stopped using it around a year ago, and since then, I must've lost/deleted it, a decision I've since come to regret.  I have a screenshot of the slide from about a year ago.

My tastes have really shifted since then.  It's mostly J-rock now, but I still listen to Selena  Gomez.  (Remember, this is from a long time ago.)  My tastes were also influenced a lot by what I heard on the radio, of which I only had like 2 presets back then (94.7 and 95.1), so it was limited.  I digress.

I hate forgetting things, especially forgetting songs.  I'm glad I still have the screenshot to go off of, but still, it's not much. 

I've started a notebook. 
On each line, I write the name of a song.  I'm on page 10 (both front and back) now, and I only started a day ago.  Later,  I will go back and fill in the artist names. 

This will serve as an archive of sorts.  Maybe even a time capsule.  That is, if I can still read my own handwriting in a few years.
