The journaller…
Updated: December 9, 2006

Birthday is 150386. Culturally mixed Chinese-Canadian. University student that will hopefully graduate in 2008, and get into a graduate school of choice abroad. Speaks three languages in varying fluencies: English, Cantonese, and French. Always wants to travel and dream. Dreams a lot so many of the entries double as a dream journal. Started journalling seriously in January 2001 and hope to continue well into the journey of life.
Questions

What is this?

Aegis is a journal site. It was made for myself to express regular writings. I write for myself, as is usually the case for a journal.

Why do you have so many grammar/ spelling/ vocabulary errors?

I spit, glance, and upload. I do not edit my journal entries after I’ve typed them up. I always have a million thoughts in my head and when I think to dictate, I usually do it fast so I miss a lot of small words, like “the” and “a”. Often, I have a tendency to replace words of what I mean using words that are remotely alike or not all. These aren’t Freudian slips so much as me being fast and rushed.

Hey! I know you offline!

This journal was made for an online world even if the contents are offline. I did not make this journal to be read by offline aquaintances. Please respect my wishes and do not confront me of anything I have to say here or leak my url.

You’re a $!&#%! You said something mean in the journal!

All opinions and words expressed here are that of the writer. Readers are cautioned that journal entries will show sarcasm and irony. I wish to apologize if I’ve offended anyone, but that has never been my intent.

What is an/the “aegis”

A protective device that was originally associated with Zeus, but also, and later solely, with Athena. It is variously considered to be a bright-edged thundercloud (because when Zeus used it lightning flashed and thunder sounded) fashioned by Hephaestus, or the skin of the divine goat Amaltheia. It is represented as a sort of cloak, sometimes covered with scales and fringed with serpents, and with the head of Medusa fastened in the middle. The Aegis could also serve as a shield and in that fashion Athena wears it upon her breastplate.

How old is this journal?

Aegis is almost six years old. Aegis is the continuing journal site of Intuition. Intuition was opened January 14, 2001 and it is the official anniversary day of any journal I open online henceforth. I used blogger.com first but I switched to greymatter on March 17, 2001. On August 30, 2001, I renamed the journal Aegis. On January 1, 2003, I switched the journal over to Movable Type. On December 9, 2006, I switched to Wordpress
