Breaking open the LJ

I suspect this will prove to be a fairly uninteresting LJ to scan.

In theory, as I'm opening my LJ today, I feel like I should probably say something of significance. However, I don't really have much to say.

So I'll just steal a significant comment from someone else:

"The history of a human soul, even the meanest one, can hardly be less curious or less instructive than the history of a whole nation - especially when it is the result of self-examination on the part of the mature mind, and when it is written without the ambitious desire to provoke sympathy or amazement"
-- Mikhail Lermontov, Preface to "Pechorin's Diary", A Hero of Our Time

Yeah. What he said.

Ironically, I majored in Government & Politics, with a minor focus in History.
