I Think I'm Writing a Real Blog Now

Now that I've set this up, I've decided, I might actually use it. I've had blogs before (xanga, MySpace, etc.), however, I now realize that I got no enjoyment out of them because they were more about talking to my friends than sharing thoughtful reflections.
So, I've resolved not to tell anyone I actually know that I'm posting here. It will make it easier, especially since most of my thoughtful reflections consist of analyzing the people around me. Art School is the perfect place to do that, too. It's smaller than my High School, which means everyone knows each other extremely well (I'm a junior, so I've been living with these people for two years now.), and every part of the personality spectrum is represented here.
I've always planned to use people I actually know as characters in my stories (which are nonexistent so far), so I might as well record my observations, right? And I think it could spark some good discussion about human nature in general. Or, no one will read this, which is also fine. Philosophical discussions are always useful and enjoyable, but not necessary because I'm really writing for myself anyway.
