I've attempted to keep a private journal on a couple of occations during my life and so far they have all, more or less, failed to stay updated.

I tend to keep my opinions and troubles to myself and the idea of a public arena where I can spout my own personal propaganda is not something that seems 'right' to me.

I do however feel it's important to have a place where I can put down comments and give those people I know abroad news about my doings and health. Seeing as I tend to be a bit of a recluse, this will undoubtedly come as a great releif.

I should mention however that much of what I write will likely be voiced in the spirit in which I wrote it and may not accuratly reflect my true feelings, or opinions. Anyone, while in an agrivated state, may say things which they do not truelly mean. Or they may write only when they feel angered, or irritated and so seem to be angry and irritable in general.

Hopefully I can keep up with this journal better then the ones I have tried to keep in the past. It shall surely get a much larger audience.
