Northern Light

Imagine a journal that is well written, beautifully illustrated, thought provoking, and free of personal drama. Keep imagining that while you read this journal, it will help.

"Northern Light" has been largely dormant for the past year. For reasons that go far beyond the scope of a bio page, but are thoroughly assertainable in the pages of this blog; LJ lost it's utility to me. I don't read friends' pages very often either. I want to keep up with all of my friends, but visiting, calling, and mail are my prefered media for social interaction.

I intend to reanimate "Northern Light" in a new form, rather than exhuming the old. "Northern Light" is to be a medium for sharing my experiences, observations, and ideas. It is to be personal, but to avoid the problems of writing very much about people who are not me, perhaps with the exception of public or fictional characters.

My name is Rob, but I often go by North. I'm based in Seattle, Washington in the USA. I'm something of a wanderer, however, a wolf who thinks of the entire planet as home range. I'd like to experience all of my home before my lifetime runs out. I'm halfway there.

I was formerly LJ "Hallo_spaceboy". I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.
