the journal
august 1997- april 1998
back when the web was still a toy and
i was just experimenting with it, i came across
a journal by a guy from boston named justin. his frank
and honest portrayal of the life of a young man just out
on his own for the first time was both interesting
and exciting to me, because i was experiencing
much of the same myself.
i started my own online journal in august of
1997 as
i was preparing to move to chicago-- the first time I had
ventured out from the safety of my parents' home.
i didn't keep the journal long, but it
serves to remind
me of where i was at the time, and where i have
gone since. it's sometimes maddening to read, because
i think i come across as such a goody-goody. but it's
here, for your perusal. be warned, insulin shots may
be needed, and are not offered.
