In the beginning...

Like all little girls, in the beginning I tried to keep a diary, though I was easily distracted  and thus never wrote in it.  During my college years there was a short period where I actually managed to maintain a LiveJournal account.  Nothing worth remembering there.  Therapists have suggested I write a journal, for different reasons writing professors as well.  Off and on I have followed their advice.  Even now I have a written journal that I rarely remember to write in.

So why this?  I can't answer that.  Maybe an anonymous audience is what I need to help me put words down, be creative and sarcastic.  A written journal holds secrets, a blog does not.  Whatever you type is left naked for anyone to stumble across and read.  Perhaps there's a little bit of an exhibitionist thrill to it as well. My words are naked for strangers to see.

There's no guarantee on the frequency of posts; I've already said I rarely remember to  write in my journal.  But I will make every effort to create something interesting every time I do post.  ttfn
