Here I am.

I've always wanted a blog. Like, a good blog. One that's good and interesting and not just a list of what I've done or plan to do within a 24 hour period. I've attempted blogs before, but usually when I need to vent or am on some sort of rampage... but those don't usually last very long, and so I couldn't even tell you how to get to my former blogs; I suppose they're all floating about in Cyber Space somewhere...

Anyways, recently I've been inspired to write by a friend who is, in a word, inspiring. So for now I'm writing for myself or for whoever might like to read... if I ever tell anyone about this little adventure. Maybe my family will catch on one day, or maybe a friend in a far away place. Or maybe I'll just let it all out here in my new Internet diary.

I've always liked writing, I've just never known what to write. I don't particularly like to create stories about characters I don't know. Lots of authors feel very close to their characters, like they are real people in their everyday lives, but I've never felt that way. I just need to write about what I know... who I know. So that's what I'm going to do, without inhibition or worrying that you'll be bored or wonder why I'm writing... because who are 'you' anyway? You're my Internet diary, and you always find me interesting.

So, here I am. Officially. A blogger. We'll see how long it lasts.

Such are the ramblings of Self.
