Dear Diary...

No, but I've tried many times to do so. I once went to an assembly at school where we learned about this girl who kept a diary of her whole life since being able to write and her diaries were printed into books. So that inspired me for all of a day and then I gave up. I then once decided I would start up a dreamer's diary for myself since my dreams are usually pretty vivid to begin with. Unfortunately I got as far as three nights of dreaming and then gave it up also. I just can't get myself to stick with any type of diary writing. I don't like writing to begin with and I find it very boring, so there you go!

I no longer record my aventure's in my diary or journal. I used to record some of my daily thing's into my journal but I don't anymore because I just don't feel like it xD

As a kid, I'd try to start a diary, but within a week or so I'd totally forget about it. For awhile I was good about using my Livejournal, but even now I hardly update. I find it pointless; there's nothing to note in my life.

Sometimes I wish I had the drive to keep a paper journal, but then again, that'd mean writing down my awful memories and reliving them... I don't know if I want another reminder of it.

Nah, I never could keep a diary. Not because I'm lazy, but the one time I did try to keep one, everything I wrote down was too depressing, lol. Plus it didn't help that I over-analyzed the need for a diary and drove myself away from mine in like, a week.

I used to write it down in a book up til May 2010, but recently I've been writing it on the computer (so I have a diary stored on here kinda).

I haven't added to it since the first, so I might go do that now. /laaazy

edit: Diary is up to date ^__________^

No, I never had a diary... never felt the need to write down my days.
In a way I do respect people who manage to keep a diary and write in it every day. XD

I've tried several times in the past, but then I would just forget about it until years later when I find the notebook I started writing in it with. My life isn't exactly exciting enough to write down in a diary, anyways. xD;

I'm an avid journal writer and have been since I got my first diary at age five :) I still have all my major diaries that I wrote in at ages: 5-9, 10-12, 13-14, and then after age 14, I started using livejournal and i've been using that ever since. When I started college, I re-started a paper journal just so I could have something tangiable to look back on just in case something ever happens to LJ.

I love using them, I write down everything that was worth writing at the time and it's a lot of fun to go back and read those and see what meant something to me back in the day :) my hope is to give them all to my kids eventually haha (if I decide to have any that is)

I used to be really diligent about blogging. I was never into journal or diary-keeping but I loved blogging since it was a lot more interactive and I preferred sharing my day rather than keeping it private. Over the last few years, my entries have definitely declined to only being written when I need to vent but I still do it from time to time.

I need to get back into doing it more often though since I love going back and reading stuff from a long time ago and with only one entry a month on my LJ, I won't be able to do that as well. XD;

No. I think diary are meant to be shown, and I don't have anyone to show it so I never tried writing one.

Nah, I don't keep a diary. This doesn't have anything to do with technology though.
I simply don't have time (or simply don't want to) write down everything. I would also be afraid that someone could read it.
I have an LJ but I never update it anymore. I never really posted very personal stuff there anyway...

I have notebooks and sketch books that I write in. And doodle in. They're not what you could call diaries or journals and I don't make a habit of using them every day, but I keep one with me (I have tons and I don't even use one regularly so the 'entries' are scattered) so I can always jot down a thought or idea or a drawing or anything that comes to mind that I don't want to forget.

I keep a journal, but I only write in it every so often. I'm not very good at keeping journals, I tend to forget I have them and then just never write in them. XD; I used to have a whole bunch of blogs that I would write into quite frequently but after a while I got lazy. I'm only now getting back into blogging and journal-writing and whatnot. The closest thing to a blog that I do frequently is go on Twitter and tweet frequently and unnecessarily about my life, haha.

Erm no. My mom kept buying me these girly diaries when I was younger and I loathe writing when I was a kid. Plus I was too lazy to even pick up a pencil when I get home.

Such a lazy-butt I am xD

I never have and most likely, never will.
The only things that I take note of in my life are my University lectures. XD

It never appealed to me to have a diary, a book to remind me of points in my life that would never return. I understand why people do it, for remembering good times, for venting, for maybe just something to get ideas down or many other reasons.
Just never appealed to me...
