    Do you have a journal or diary? What kind of stuff do you typically write in it if you do?
     
    PC is my diary

    No, but it's not because of any anti-femininity notions like some others would be. I just don't have the attention span, which is also the reason I don't have a hack completed, and I don't like books and movies.

    I have done it a couple times in the past, but a couple weeks was how long I got through with it before I started to write down mundane banal **** like "today I went outside!". So not really a fan of diaries or journals.
     
    [SIZE="a"]I tried keeping a journal, but I suck at it. XD[/SIZE]
     
    Tried to, but got to like the third day then I didn't want to spend much time writing in it :p
     
    Every once in a while I'll try keeping one, but I always lose the notebook or get bored or remember there's no point in doing so because I like venting at people rather than at paper. The last few times I've tried to do fic journals but eventually I remember I'm useless at writing so I quit. So no. I'm much too disorganized in the mind to do so.
     
    I keep one. I write in it daily, though only a few entries are actually worth reading (compared to "Slept, ate, nothing. Goodnight."). I've done so for a little over 2 years.
     
    I had one when I was 15 and another when I was 17, both journals I have lost now given how often I move nowadays so finding them again would take forever if it wasn't outright impossible by now.
     
    Not anymore. It's not something I'd remember to do, ever.

    I used to update my Livejoural on a somewhat regular basis, until about 2009. That was when I had less to update about do to a bunch of irl crap. I don't even read it anymore; I'd probably be embarrassed, tbh.
     
    I don't do it because I'm too paranoid that someone would find it and read it and would be insulted by it. My family and some of my friends are really nosy, so I try to keep myself in a place that I'm comfortable with them knowing about.
     
    I have a lot of my mind. I was considering writing some kind of journal to jot them down but then I became paranoid about what would happen if anyone was to ever find it.
     
    Personally I don't think I have. I guess it's more inside my head because I'm one of those who seems to have 10 different personalities inside their heads talking to each other all the time. It'd be a bit difficult to jot down. However I do know a sister who has had around 95 journals and still counting. But that's due to the fact she never commits. Each one has a first page written on detailing her new start with this journal, and each one has nothing more then that.

    I don't think any of my friends would have one either, it's something that has come and gone with the rise of social networking. I guess for some people updating Facebook could be considered a journal.
     
    No, no, no, no, no, no. I've never been one for a physical, tangible diary. Or journal, whatever you call it. I never understood what to do with them. I tried to keep one once; it never got more than the one entry, "Dear Diary, what do I write in this? I had a good day? Bye - Love, Christopher." I was just never able to decide what to write about, i'm good with writing whatever comes to my mind but not in my own personal diary, no. I had a brief Livejournal phase in 2009 but like my tangible diary, I didn't update it.
    I prefer to use my Tumblr for venting my emotions, either that or the lovely people around me who really don't want to hear about my day but do anyway!
     
    I have notebooks that I write whatever I feel like in them, mostly freewrites and ideas and snippets or things for my writing. They generally don't act like diaries though since I don't write down my feelings or how my day went or things like that. There wouldn't be much to write if I did that.
