    We live in a world where technology is the mean of communication. Back in the old times, they wrote down what happened on a day-to-day basis, rather than blogging about it.

    Do you keep with the tradition of transcribing your adventures in a diary or journal?
     
    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
     
    I neither blog nor write down anything that happens in my life. I wouldn't read it myself, I certainly wouldn't want anybody else to read it, so I don't see any point.
     
    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.
     
    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 ^__________^

    Never have done, my sister (aged 16) has had a diary for years, i don't see the point of it though. not that my days are boring or anything
     
    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'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.
     
    I don't write personal accounts of anything, anywhere.
    Doesn't seem awfully worth knowing, but for what it's worth, the most I might do is write down how I feel each day; apparently one can notice a pattern.
     
    I have a journal and I started writing in it again after over a year of not writing.
     
    No I don't have a diary or journal. I don't have a blog either.
    Maybe in the future... But right now I have no use for 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...
