Hello, world!

Okay, so now if I'm ever accused of a serious felony the cops will confiscate my laptop and find this journal. Oh well.

I tried several times as a kid to keep a diary, but I never knew what to write. Once, when I was probably ten or so, my grandmother told me to jot down what I'd done during the day. I learned quickly that I didn't do much worth writing about. As a teen I decided to write my feelings -- I couldn't do that because I always afraid someone would read it. Now that I'm well into middle age, I guess it doesn't matter. I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but if they do, they'll know me only as Midnight Scamp (I hope).

So I don't really know exactly what I'll use this journal for. I guess we'll see.
