Happiness

About a year ago this day today, I encountered Slashdot.org. At that time I had just started writing comments in other sites, but probably I started writing a comment in English in Japan's site, nobody replied to my comments.
Ignorance is the best policy to let unfavorables be bygones. I left their site.
At that time it never occurred to me that I might be able to visit a site in US. I found this site in Yahoo search, then visited for the first time. Reaction was not bad, quickly I got a couple of friends and I started keeping journals here in Slashdot.
You see, English is not my native tongue, sometimes I had visited foreigner's bar and enjoyed conversation, but of course in my daily life we don't normally use English.
I just wonder how the advent of the Internet brought me a revolutionary change in my life. Honestly speaking I never imagined I have been able to write journals in English for a year long. Thank you for many friends here, if it had not been for all of your help, I would have been unable to improve my English such a rapid pace.
Now I rarely go to the foreigner's bar, instead I make it a rule to face before the screen every day, and I can talk to many friends here. It's my happiness, just happiness.
