I find myself wondering why exactly I'm getting back into the habit of posting in a journal....it's been hard to since my last one went down. I used a knockoff of LiveJournal, and wrote in it faithfully for five years or so. I really loved that blog; it wasn't just a place where I could vent....it also kept years of memories for me, back when I was painfully shy and could not easily put my feelings into verbal communication. I also had many artbook reviews and it was sad to see them disappear when the site went under. Even more sad to lose the record I had kept of my life. Such as it was. I tried several times after that to start new blogs. It wasn't the same. My heart wasn't in it anymore. I'm hoping this time I will be able to stick with it. I always feel so much better when I can get my emotions down. So I guess in summary, this blog will be for me, and me alone. I will surely put down my thoughts on books/other products like before, but for my own enjoyment. If someone finds this helpful, all the better. Ultimately, I just want to start keeping track of my life again. If nothing else, it's something to re-read on a rainy day, right?
