Hello, welcome to my blog

Mostly you will find, here, transcribed entries from the secret diary that I used to keep as a teenager between 1970 and 1975. I try to be honest with my transcriptions, but, just occasionally I do edit, to protect myself or others from embarrassment or some other emotion.
Also, though, I like to do a brief review of the books I have been reading, so these are interspersed throughout. I reserve the right to write blog entries, also, about other random things.
Why do I keep this blog? I don't know. I am an academic and one of my research interests is around how people construct their own identities. The diary transcriptions, and what I write about my books, are very much about revealing something of my identity.

I think I've set up a blog! Now what do I do with it?
My intention is to post an occasional diary. On facebook I always want to write more than is allowed - which is probably a good indicator that a blog is the next step. No idea, really, what will happen here. But I do have one plan. After a recent conversation with a friend about diary keeping when we were youngsters, I thought that I would dig out my old 5 year diary, which I kept fairly religiously from the age of 13 (1970) to 18 (1974). I'm going to have a little project in which I copy entries from that diary onto my blog. Why? I don't really know. Let's see.
