Well, it looks like my laptop may have died again. Just as I uploaded my last change of the night the whole thing froze to the extent that it won't accept any input including from the power button! I only managed to switch the damn thing off by unplugging it and removing the battery. Now, of course, it still won't accept input but it's switched off so I can't get it to switch on again. It must be a loose connection - anyone any good with these things?

I've just realised that I've let my journal birthday pass completely without comment - this won't do! I'm still amazed sometimes that a year on I'm still here. I still haven't got myself quite organised enough to manage to post at weekends and stuff but I have managed to post much much more than I thought I would or ever have in a journal before. Also, somewhat paradoxically, I seem to be able to write much more openly here than I ever was in my pen and paper journals - there I always ended up feeling stilted and inhibited whereas here it all seems to come pouring out. Perhaps I'm just not very good at talking to myself.

I find myself continually thinking cynically that soon this'll just all slip away and become another cobwebbed bit of the web but actually, I seem to be getting in deeper and deeper all the time. So here's to next year :)
