Dear diaryland diary,

Please don't hate me for the lack of attention I pay you. Please don't feel insecure as I cast you barely a glance before logging on to Movable Type, fingers itching, to scratch out a new entry on my love woes, work woes, or friend woes, when you've spent nearly two years faithfully recording those woes for me right here.

It's not that I don't like you anymore, or appreciate all that you've meant to me in the past. It's just that there is a new toy, one that has more bells and whistles, more challenges, and has that "Improved!" sticker on it that I can't resist. Sure it means I'll spend more time figuring out how the new toy works than actually enjoying it, but to me, that's the fun of it.

I can't say that I will come here with as much regularity as before but I promise to visit often enough that you'll never fail to recognize my face when you see it through that peephole on your front door, no matter how much the glass distorts it.

Consider this your invite, dear diary, to stop by and visit anytime you want. And one day in the future we'll set up a nice cosy room for you, there in Movable Type land, where you can stay always.

Sincerely,

Jummy (and Jummy's movable type blog)
