So, it's officially 2006.

Also, I have joined embodiment. I've kept a paper journal since the end of 6th grade, and I've been fairly faithful with them since then. But never before have I written in one every day. So we'll see if I can keep up with the community's idea.

ETA: Memoirs of a Geisha is excellent; I just finished it today. The writing style is transfixing, and the book addictive. Lots of metaphors = very vivid imagery. It's interesting that it was written so well from a woman's perspective by a man. I highly recommend.
