I've decided to close my livejournal. I see it as part of a greater plan, or new years resolution of sorts, to have a happier, healthier 2005. I now view my journal as an extension of the exhibitionist side of my personality that I can no longer stand. I don't write these entries for myself anymore, but the people who read them. The person I write about here isn't me, but the me I want everyone to see. Even when I try to stay true to myself, there's always something to censor, or something to prove. Well, I've got nothing left to prove so I'm done with this. Not to mention I'm putting an end to a vicious cycle. I recently got hit in the face with an incident similar to something I did to someone else not all that long ago. ah, karma. Life is just.
It won't be easy, as I've kept an online journal almost consistenly since sophomore year. There are a lot of things I had to take into consideration, one being that this was supposed to be a link to my friends while we're all away school. Instead, If something truly exciting is happening in my life, by all means you'll get an instant message about it. Conversely, if you're curious to know whats up, by all means shoot me an email or give me a ring. Not to mention there's still snail mail, smoke signals, morse code...this is the year 2005, the possibilities are endless! and if none of these are appealing, then what better reason to fire up the good ol' GEORGE CHAT. That taken, I will also miss having a handy electronic timeline of sorts, of many of my adventures, but that can be done through a private journal, or a good old fashioned diary. That said, the cute quizzes and surveys were fun too...but then again so was elementary school recess, and you don't see me hitting up the Maplewood School playground too often, now do you? Some things are just better left behind. That is all. Wish me luck, and let's see if I last at this!
