h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The first entry in my new online jounal. I must say it is a little exciting. I've never had anything available online before and it feels like a symbolic start to a new way of life. In saying that, I don't expect to be too regular with this journal. I don't have a good track record.

The most regular I ever got with a journal was in school where journal writing was compulsory for English (Literature studies for the rest of the world). My friend and I has just discovered the power of writing stories, the control you hold over you character's lives was intoxicating. There just wasn't a spare moment or Math's class where we couldn't be seen hunched over our 'journals' writing another car crash, another broken hearted break up or some other shocking situation to place out hapless creations in.

Thankfully, our teacher never read what was written. His eyebrows would crawl up this brow as he noted how many pages were written since last he signed. Little did he know that my friend and I were having daily competitions to keep a ten page average.

I don't miss much about school, but I guess I do miss all that wonderful free time to write. It may have been complete rubbish, but it was our complete rubbish and ensured us A for effort in English; if not in our Maths classes.
