has it been a year already? wow. at precisely 11:18am est, it will have been one year since i hopped on the blogging bandwagon and ridden it around like a poseur mofo. technically, this<\/i> sites only seven months old. my first blog\/journal (blurnal?) was on the perennial tween fav, xanga<\/a>. ah xanga. *reminisces briefly* xanga. i didnt necessarily just decide one day to start up a blog. it was actually my friend jane<\/a> who originally got me to sign onto xanga and start babbling incoherently. shes since been pretty lax with her journal, but me\u2026its become a bit of therapy one entry at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i should mention that while this is my first online journal, i actually had a similar journal in alot of regards (mentioned before<\/a>) back in high school. it wasnt necessarily a wonder years<\/i>-type blah blah journal\u2026it was kind of a repository of random m3ntal notes to supplement my ridiculously awful memory. that journal lasted from january 23, 1996 to august 5, 1998 and actually contained, amongst other things: top 10 music lists, a burned out cornell<\/i> acceptance letter, a delta phi<\/i> bid, extensive religious sections, lots of doodles (including the summer post-it galleries), sticky pics, endless ranting, and the super shecret encoded<\/i> rants. anyone who knew me back then probably saw me carry it around religiously, and knew i almost never let anyone read anything from it. my own grail diary\u2026woot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
