So here's why I've had less interest in journaling lately: 
(Not that I feel any particular need to justify myself, but still...)

1.  I don't really need to write down what I'm thinking/doing to
"get it out of my system", since I have a girlfriend for that
now.  (Well, have had for the past year-plus.)

2.  I have a real-life journal, which I write in my homemade
phenotype - not for secrecy's sake (my life is still essentially
secret-free... how boring) but because if people can't read it, they'll
assume it's interesting.  In truth, it's more pathetic than the
journal I kept in 1st grade: included are meaningful entries such as
"got off work early today, boss was out of town" and "I think I'll go
to the Ave for lunch today.  I ran out of good food."

  On a related note, I've been using my phenotype to write in a
common notebook at the Chai Lounge.  Every week or so is open mic
night, and people read random passages from this common notebook. 
I'm attending tonight's open mic night (in about an hour) because I'm
curious to see if anyone tries to read my seemingly nonsensical string
of symbols

  Oh - I got a grant!  Yay!  I'm now a Molecular
Biophysics Research Grant Trainee.  Which means... Niels (my boss)
saves money, and I go to a bunch of extra mandatory ethics classes and
seminars.  I guess it'll look good on my resume, or
something.  (I sound less grateful than I am; this is me
practicing cynicism.)

  Yeah... so I might give in and transfer my online journaling
(what pathetically little I still do) to Myspace.  There's just...
more people there I know.  Not that I particularly care about
people (in general), but it doesn't hurt to keep in touch with old
friends.  Y'know, some sort of minimal online contact to keep old
friendships just barely alive, yet comatose.

  I go now.  Blarg.
