The Bete Noir Journal

Think of this journal as inexpensive anger management therapy or a quiet form of scream therapy.

The BETE NOIR JOURNAL is the place where you can be honest about the things you despise, hate, fear, and would generally prefer to see towed out to sea and sunk. What infuriates you? What are you bête noires?

USE THE PAGES OF THE BETE NOIR JOURNAL: to let it all out; to—for once—say exactly what you think without having to pull your punches; to rage and revile; to let out a primal scream; to denounce; to criticize; to decry; to put someone or something on your blacklist or your shit list or your no-fly list; to reprimand and reproach; to damn and derogate; to condemn and censure; to expose and excoriate; to dissent and deplore; to get your hate on; to castigate; to disparage; to find fault and nit-pick; to pass sentence and point fingers; to smear; to upbraid; to indict; to vent and to vilify; to name and blame; to charge and chide; and, to blast and berate and belittle. After you have let it all out, REMEMBER, the whole point of letting loose in the BÊTE NOIR JOURNAL is so you can be calm, cool, and collected in your real life. Turn things up to eleven.

KEEP THIS JOURNAL SAFE! You may have written something rather naughty about some people, places and thingsl. Naturally, you do not want to actually let that information out in to the wild.
