I. Post the First: Holiday

Well, I guess I'll actually get down to starting the journal now. I won't bother writing anything like "hello everyone, and welcome to my blog;" it would be terribly pretentious to assume that people are tracking my every word from day one, not that notoriety is the reason decided to embark on this project in the first place. This is strictly a place for me to jot down and organize my thoughts. All are welcome to delve in, but this is "me" space.

Today is Christmas day; I, however am not in a particularly "Christmassy" mood. I'm not in a sour mood, though. I just haven't caught on to the celebratory vibe of the season. This year, for perhaps the first time in my life, I am spending the entire day by myself. I appreciate the quiet and the opportunity for self-reflection. Being alone on Christmas still does seem weird, though.

I think I have more to write about even at this moment, but I'll save these for later posts. To anyone who happens to pass through, though--have a wonderful day.
