    <content type="html">I haven't had a semi-public journal in over a decade and I came to the realization that perhaps it might be time to try this out again. My first experience was rather successful, considering I had made some close friendships. In recent months, I've felt that I lacked the resources to share my strengths and weaknesses with friends, to vent, piss and moan, confide, conspire, and just generally discuss things with people who are of like mind. So, it's time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you'll excuse the mess. I'm a bit of a slob, but I'm convinced that all quietly creative introverts are. Or I was raised lazy... which is a strong possibility. I work hard, and I love deeper, and I savor my experiences so that makes up for the grit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone needs a place to share their grit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=stenocarpus&amp;ditemid=466" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
