i can't believe i've had this blog for about two and a half years. i've never been so dedicated to any sort of diary. sometimes i find old journals of mine and usually there's only one entry in each, written at a time when i was extremely frustrated with life. and i sound like such an idiot so i'm always profoundly embarrassed and i vow to never write in a diary again to spare myself from the humiliation. but there's nothing too deep in this blog (as a precaution, since it is as public as any other website), it's just a place to vent my random thoughts and let people know what's going on in my life. that's how it's survived so long.
