So…

I didn’t really think I’d ever have a second journal to my LJ, which for all effects and purposes is for me to read others and never to write in my own.  I don’t know why I’m looking for a more “private” feeling journal.  I mean, this is the internet, after all.  I remember, though, when I first got my LiveJournal four or five years ago, I used to write in it quite often, and writing in it was useful to me.  

I’ve been writing in paper journals, which has been good for me.  I never have been much of a journal sort of person, but that’s changed in the last couple of years, especially since I went to Japan.  I feel a little embarrassed, somehow, to post how I feel about my life and about Japan in my old journal, so I’m going to try it here.  Thus, here is my pretentious first post on wordpress.  May it serve me well.
