So why am I doing this?

Good question. I'm not sure I have a suitably good answer yet, mind you. I've never been good with diaries, and I'm not sure this would function in the same way anyway - it's got an audience, at least hypothetically, so the stranger contents of my brain aren't likely to escape onto the page.

But it'll do nicely for the occasional rant, and it allows me to put comments in some of the communities on here - that's the aspect that originally grabbed my attention.
