why not write about it...?

i've been thinking recently that maybe it would be a good idea for me to start blogging again.

long ago and actually not so far away i was livejournaling like a mad woman. i killed off a blog i was keeping for a while and started a new one in '05 and shortly after that i got rid of my internet at home and quit writing.

i quit writing, almost altogether. i wasn't even keeping a personal journal.

...and that's so weird. why? because i've been keeping a personal journal since i was a wee maiden, living in indiana and experiencing extreme amounts of teenage angst in the middle of nowhere. i guess it's just getting harder the older i get to look at the MIRROR that writing puts in front of me. can't i just... bottle all this up or pretend i'm not thinking or feeling this right now?

i guess not. i mean, i guess i shouldn't.

what i'm trying to say is... hello blog. i'm sorry i've been neglecting you. i hope you help me keep track of my thoughts, feelings, experiences, etc. once more. *hugs*
