Who here keeps a journal?

[DainBramaged]

I'm talking about a real life journal, either electronic or paper, but something that you *don't* share with anyone else, just as a record of your days events or thoughts or emotions or whatever.

I am amazed at the things that I forget and only remember by reading my old journals.

If others can read it, it isn't personal. Personally, I use thinkfree and just add to my journal whenever I'm so inclined.

no way, if i dont want people to know about it, it doesnt get written down or recorded on anything

I'm not saying anything incriminating, just stuff that is...personal.

so am i. if its personal and i want it to stay that way, i dont write it down. we had to do a daily journal entry in high school for one of my teachers, and i just either entered the dullest things id done, or made something up. im pretty personal, maybe slightly paranoid, so i dont write down much outside of reminder notes

have a xanga for public stuff, but greatestjournal is for my private entries.

This is the digital age. Blogs count just as much. You can make private posts you know. And a lot of people do. I make private posts that only I can see. In fact thats a whole lot safer than a real paper journal.

I've got a blog, but no diary/journal.

I used to keep a golf journal, when I was trying to be serious about my rounds.

But no, not since university - and even that was very irregular.

 

[nageov3t]

I've got a journal.

I don't really write in it on any kind of a regular basis, though... maybe once or twice a year when something major happens that I need to write about but is too personal to post it on my blog.

Does NTFS count?

 

[kevinthenerd]

I keep a book of inventions that I don't want people to see.

 

[djheater]

I do, but it's internal. I never write it down.

 

[kevinthenerd]

Some people won't write anything just to themselves (because communication is pointless without a receiver), so writing it for others seems to help get it out of their system. That's why I use myspace blogging.

 

[BoomerD]

I've had to keep journals and barge logs for work for many years, as well as a time book to keep track of my hours and the jobs I worked on. Not much personal in them, but occasionally, funny stuff that happens on the job...

Blogs and myspace don't count.

um, why

because you share them with others
