lederhosenI said I wasn't going to do this. I came up with several perfectly good reasons why. I already have a journal, a pen-and-paper one, which I use for writing stuff private enough that I don't want even my best friends looking over my shoulder while I write. (If you're reading this, you're probably mentioned in that journal too :-)
And I have reasons for not putting too much personal information about myself in the public arena. I will no doubt rant about those reasons in an upcoming entry.
And I'm not an exhibitionist, by any stretch of the imagination. I like to be noticed by my friends, but I'm quite happy to be invisible to the wider world.
But somehow I ended up doing this anyway. Partly because my PhD project involves sitting in front of a computer for 14 hours a day, and a lot of that time is simply babysitting modelling jobs that take a couple of hours to run - so I need something to do with the time. Partly because my friends are doing this, and I feel like a grouch refusing to do the same. But mostly, I think, because I read their journal entries and somehow it seems fair to be as open to them as they are to me.
Even if I'm leaving out the most important bits.
If you want to know that stuff, you have only to ask. I'll probably even tell you. But you don't get unless you ask.
So here it is.
Incidentally, my friends, I have reversed your colour schemes for my own purposes. This is done purely to annoy you.
