  • Do you keep a journal or diary of your life, I just started one about a year ago and now I am putting more and more enteries into it...

    Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this.

    It would be fun to keep a journal, if only Naminé's life is slightly more interesting and less dull. The main factor why she doesn't have one yet is probably the lack of personal privacy in her house. If only she can keep something without her mother digging it out, Naminé will like to write a journal.

    Guess that Naminé will pick journal for the poll then~

  • I prefer a journal. Why. Mallory Pike from the Baby-Sitters Club (my favorite book series ever) clearly states the reason. And she also explains what the differences are between a journal and a diary.
    "The difference between a journal and a diary, as far as I can tell, is that a diary is a recording of daily events and you're supposed to write in it every day." Here I use my own example of a diary entry for let's say.. spring break
    Got up. Ate breakfast, poptarts. Went to Pokecommunity. Posted at threads. Did some new art. Watched tv. Went to Pokesho. Had Subway for lunch. Read. Surfed the net. Watched more tv. Cleaned room. Ate dinner. Went to bed
    Mallory goes on "Pretty dull, huh? But a journal entry would be much more deep and sensitive and interesting. Also, I dont write in my journal every day, just whenever I feel like it."
    One of the reasons I love the Baby-Sitters Club.
    And if you wanna know what book that quote was from, it was "Mallory and the Mystery Diary".
    I actually have my journals from when I was in the 5th grade. I dont do them in spiral notebooks anymore though, I do them on wordpad documents on my laptop.

    Crystal Clair does good, indepth posts when she wants to

    As you can see, I'm using a Livejournal.

    However, lately, I haven't been able to get on the computer as often so I also keep
    a personal diary. The great thing about it is that I can just write whatever, whenever.

  • I don't have one. Neither one. Still, I do have what you say a art journal which we do our homework and whatever we want with it. It like a journal because we can but what ever we want in related to art. I even write in mines to make it look crazy and stuff. Isn't that what you do with a journal anyways?

  • I could never keep a paper journal (that's the only one that I've kept). Journals are better than diaries, they aren't as private.^^;

    However, I do have a Livejournal ;D

  • I kept a diary when I was 5, at the suggestion of my teacher at school. I've tried to pick it up again, but I don't have the motivation. Nowadays I have my LiveJournal though, and I update that every day. *addict*

  • [Font="Trebuchet MS]Mari ish a bit way too lazy to keep a journal//diary. 83~ And beside, the way I see it, if something really weird//cool//rare happened on a particular day, I would always remember it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be something worth keeping track of, I guess. o.O;

    Oh, but when something super~duperly extra-special happens, I'd usually draw a mini manga~ish like thingie for it... I don't know know what to call it, but anyway, it's really fun to do. X33;[/Font]
