first ramblings.

And here it is: my very first entry. Wow, how exciting.

I don't really know why I'm doing this at all. I'm not exactly the sort to wear my heart out on my sleeve. I mean, the whole idea of an online journal... means the entire world and their mothers-in-law can see what you've written. Pretty scary thought.

But who cares about the rest of the world, anyway? I'm doing this for me. I need to write, to jumpstart myself, especially since I haven't written in my real paper journal for a month or so now. At least this way I'll have some reason to keep writing, knowing how Internet denizens bug people about updating their sites. That should stand me in good stead. At least for a while.

For all of you reading this out there, though: I'm still in the army, meaning I live in the barracks some five-and-a-half days a week, so updates'll be a wee bit sporadic to begin with. It should get better after June, once I've entered the uni and get to see a computer more often than I really want to. If it doesn't, remind me nicely, will you?

In any case life's been awfully humdrum lately. Dullness, really. If I don't do something soon I'm going to die from excess ennui, I know it. So here's hoping all this gives me a good kick in the ass, shakes my life up some. I could, after all, do with a little less angst. I'm sure we all could.
