The Infrequently Filled Journal of One Whose Opinions are Irrelevant

Sheebus, its been a while

It truly has been.

I see things have become high-tech and sophisticated in my absence. I've also noticed that my stats are almost certainly not true.

A lot has happened since last year. No point trying to recap. I'm not sure what I'm doing back here, to be completely honest. All my other posts are from what my contemporaries and I refer to as the Dark Year, because it simply sucked for everyone I know. I'm glad I have a record, however intangible, of that year. It will help me remember myself better and not judge so harshly the ones I'm having trouble forgiving now... myself included.

It's strange. I've revisited once or twice, and every time I do I expect, for whatever reason, my writing to sound juvenile, or for my entries to be whiny and self-pitying (which it would be useless trying to deny that some are). However, I'll see one sentence and I'll say "Oh... that's me... now." You'd think that since it was me writing, it would click now. But for some reason my mind has separated my younger self from who I am now. Which is bad for many reasons...

Regardless, I'm back. Briefly. I don't know how often I'll show up and post, but it's been nice and a very good alternative to my Religious Studies paper (due tomorrow and 1/50th done! Yes, one fiftieth.).

It's strange, but I prefer this to writing in my diary. I believe it's the fact that there is NO chance whatsoever of my parents or siblings ever stumbling across this, whereas my diary is fair game (sadly enough).

This has been nice. Like visiting a cottage in autumn nice, stretching after waking up nice, and giggling nice... but I don't know if that means I'll be back.

PS: Although I definitely see the merit in having a spot where I can have as many sentence fragments as I want... I find them amusing. Personally. ( ;) )
