There is more to my world than you're going to see.
Okay, so I finally succumbed and joined the inane self-indulgence that is LJ.
Why?
Well, primarily because an online journal is easier to write in than one stored only on my home machine. There are more opportunities for me to store pertinent thoughts, wherever they occur. And why should I create my own journaling system, when LJ has done a reliable job at it already?
But you shouldn't expect to see very much in the way of public postings here. Although I'm an exceedingly open person, I have no intention of using LJ as a public forum. If there are things I specifically want to share with people, they'll probably appear as friends-only posts; but my default will be to keep everything private.
If you're desperate to know what's going on in my life, you can always go to the online "newsletter" that I've been keeping since the beginning of 1998. You can find it at http://users.rcn.com/ornoth/.
