A Live Journal Commitment...

[maxcelcat]

Hello.

As regular readers of this journal will know, I mostly started it to amuse evildoom_bunny (who is at this moment looking up Bollywood dance classes at the CAE - WTF???) with whom I have a girlfriend-boyfriend kinda relationship going on. And, by extension numerous of her friends and cohorts on this thing (stillbeing, sshatteredd, goth_prostitute, look at my friends page for more!)

I come to Blogging late and, I confess, a bit reluctantly. Back in the day, when I first got on the net - more than ten years ago - eep - it seemed like most personal webpages were the worst form of self publishing. Blogging always struck me as more so, and I refused to read any of them. What possible interest could I have in the minute details of someone else's life? Especially a complete stranger?

I have however noticed there's a whole community thing going on here, which is kinda cool. I like to keep my people in what used to be called "Real Life", but I can see how you kids have been making good use of this technology.

About this time in 2005 I started a blog on my website, the now mostly abandoned Goatboy Diaries, which are a complete fiction, a complete nerdy fiction. Although at least one of my friends didn't realise, and asked me about some of the absurd events I described. However, strangely enough, spending an hour a day of work time writing a blog got me a little behind, and I also ran out of omph for making shit up.

Anyway, the point of this entry is: I plan to start using this thing more like a diary. There are so many little details of my life which I forget from day to day - life is like that, especially one as absurdly busy as mine. And I was looking through this earlier and it reminded me of some fun things that had happened to me in the last few months. So, beware. I won't be doing this daily, but certainly more often and perhaps less flippantly...
