Lame. Also, the beginning.

Once upon a time, I had a livejournal, and was rather frequent in my updating it, even though it was usually about stupid shit having to do with my usually unproductive life.  Although it often consisted of cursing or excited capslock entries, it was actually, in its own very special way, therapeutic for me.  Plus, it kept me writing during times where I normally would not be, even if said writing was not nearly as skillful or eloquent as I would save for an assignment or essay for my classes.

A few of my friends have begun to blog about their lives again, and it has reminded me of how doing so can also help me with...well a lot of things, I guess.  Extra writing practice (as long as I don't always travel into the 'OMG MY FEELS' type of grammar, though I cannot promise that won't happen a few times), a chance to discuss feelings or things going on...and while I'm perfectly aware I can do all of these things on Microsoft Word or something, doing it on the internet seems like a better idea.  I'm hypocritical in a sense; I want to talk about my private life for me, but at the same time, the idea of others reading about it is appealing.  (I don't know if hypocrisy is the right word for that, but it feels appropriate, for some reason.)  Even if it leaves me open and everything.  I don't know, sometimes I just want people to see.

I hope that's not a cry for help or anything.  I wonder about that at times.

Whether or not I will keep up with this is unknown at the time.  I always say that I'm going to, but...well I said that with twitter, my second livejournal, my roleplays...and pretty much all of those things died.  Mostly because I got bored with them.  That happens.  As of now I would like to keep up with this at least through my first year of grad school, but who knows.

I also can't promise that this will be exciting.  I like to think myself as a fun person (and believe me, a lot of times I'm not nearly as serious as this entry makes me seem), but more serious topics than not will probably be on here.  Then again, I might just spend time writing about video games or something.  Or politics.  Who knows?  I never really can tell what's going to happen when I start a new project, if I can even graciously call this endeavour that.

Also, don't mind that 'u'.  I tend to favour the British spelling of a few words; not all, but quite a bit.  It's a habit that I probably should get out of as I restart school in the United States.
