Do you keep a diary?

Post Reply New Topic

I want to, to be honest. I find writing more fun than typing.

But if I get a diary, it's not gonna be a tiny little thing from walmart, I'm getting a freaking leather, dictionary looking thing.

My diary isn't dictionary looking, it is black magic grimoire looking I haven't been writing down in it for a month though, I had nothing to write about in it. My days look the same: I'm online, reading, watching movies, talking with online buddies, writing on boards etc. - this sort of life E. Dickinson or HPL could lead if they lived now. I'm practically like a hikikomori. I bought a diary with Winnie the Pooh on the cover, once in another city in which I used to study but before I started writing in it, I won the one. That one looks too childish, maybe I'll use it one day to keep my dream diary in it when I finish this volume, the content of which is recorded by me in a similar diary. I wouldn't mind keeping a diary in a Disney themed journal though, if it was a Peter Pan themed one. But I never saw any diaries like that, after all this cartoon came out so many years ago. Or in a HP one - but this great series came out of fashion If it had to be replaced by something else, this niche could be at least taken not by Twilight but by Anne Rice books. I'd love to buy The Vampire Chronicles collectibles then

I've kept a diary regularly since I was 8 years old, and I have written an entry every single day since I was 12, and I'm 20 now. It has become a neccessity to me.

I have sometimes thought about writing a diary, but I've always decided not to, out of privacy concerns. I don't want anyone else to read my diary and I don't trust people. They don't respect privacy and would rather satisfy their own curiosity. If I can't trust that my diary is and always will be completely private and for my eyes only, I won't be honest about my thoughts, so I might as well skip it.

i keep a journal. i like to go back and look at old ones to see how i used to see things in comparison to how i see them now.

WP is my diary.

I always write my diary keeping in mind that it will in all probability be read by someone else sometime in the future, and I don't have a problem with that, so I don't write about anything private.

I recently rewrite my old diary entries I wrote on loose paper sheets into my diary It's a boring one, it's filled mostly with descriptions of my health problems all over Not much more is happening in my life. The most interesting thing that happened to me is that I got a cold sore on my lip and that they sent me finally my kettle and frying pan I ordered (I didn't describe this), that's all.

In the past, yes. Not so anymore. It was too complicated, and privacy concerns were the main reasons for this.

I used to type my thoughts out in online forums alot but I never did the diary thing & never had any desire too. I have horrible handwriting, am very slow at it & my hand & wrist would hurt when I was doing alot of writing on test or taking notes in school. I guess I could keep a diary by typing but I find it very hard to make my thoughts coherent & it takes me along time to figure out how to word things. I'd still be OCDish about it even if I no one would see it & I'd get more frustration out of it than anything.

No, I have never seen a point in it.

Keeping an online journal helps me remember stuff.
I don't write as often as I should but reading old entries just amazes me on how much I have changed over the years.
