    Anyone see this movie? It was amazing. .. any ways

    I'm trying to figure out how the codes in the daires work. I know theres a five letter code.. but I can't get how it changes day-to-day depending on the writers mood. I got the five letter word down.. kinda.

    sight is my word

    s - a- f - n - u - z
    i - b - j - o - v
    g- c - k - p - w
    h- d - l - q - x
    t - e - m - r - y

    I write the 5 letter word sideways.. and the abc's sideways I skip any letter in my 5 letter word.. and i go through the abc's... understand?

    s- a- f- n- u- z- i- b- j- o- v- g- c-
    k- p- w- h- d- l- q- x- t- e- m- r- y-

    now that i have the abc's mixed up I can begin writing
    example: My name is Brittney

    Vc hpvo qk Xgqjjhoc

    understand?

    Well I want to know how i could change it day-to-day.. dependin on my mood..

    Any Ideas?

    to explain the mixing after you have written the thing sideways you write it from left to right

    s- a- -f- n- u- z- i- b- j- o- v- g- c-
    k- p- w- h- d- l- q- x- t- e- m- r- y-

    or

    s=k
    a=p
    f=w
    n=h
    u=d
    z=l
    q=i
    b=x
    j=t
    o=e
    v=m
    g=r
    c=y

    and then you code like ... s is k .. a is p .. k is s and p is a ? Does that help any?

    And for it changing every day depending on the writers mood.. it wasn't my idea... thats what they said in the movie :)

    I use it like.. in my dairy personally -blush- But the thing is if you find out one letter you can usually figure out the rest of the words... trust me .. me n my sis do it all the time.. .so changing by the mood would make it harder to translate. And you can maybe... i dunno rotate the top or bottom letters over one.. but how would that work with your mood? I have no idea!!! oh wait .. maybe using your favorite word like... love so start the a new line with l...

    s- a- -f- n- u- z- i- b- j- o- v- g- c-
    k- p- w- h- d- l- q- x- t- e- m- r- y-

    s- a- -f- n- u- z- i- b- j- o- v- g- c-
    l- q- -x -t -e m-r-y- k- p-w- h- d

    then the next day it would be O.

    o-v- g- c- s- a- -f n u- z- i- b- j-
    l- q- x -t -e m- r- y- k- p-w- h- d

    then the next v.. then the next e.. and if i feel mad the next time i could do liek the word hate... i have no idea..

    Well the reason why i code it is for other reasons, not just from my sister.. but I'm trying to spice it up a bit. So i was just trying to get some ideas on what else I could do. Thanks guys :)
