Do o you guys keep a diary or a journal? I know a lot of you may be keeping blogs to vent things out but how about a real diary where you write everyday events in?
I'm considering starting now. ONLY TWO DECADES HAVE PASSED SINCE MY BIRTH I'M SURE I HAVEN'T MISSED MUCH. I thought it was be useful to have not for venting but for recording. Our memories wither without us realizing is. They're there, but if we don't think about it, we forget and it stops existing until something triggers it again. I'm curious just how much I'll be able to look back to in six months. Probably not a lot, but the small details might be worth noting. Never really liked the idea of a diary personally. When I was a kid, my thoughts was to die with all the good and bad memories. I don't know why but I found that idea cool.

Are going to be keeping it online somewhere? Or on real paper and pen?
I actually have kept a consistent diary from the age of eight to fourteen and it's hilarious to look back and read. Most of what I wrote about was really petty and day to day, but there were some deep reflections in it that surprise me when I read back.
I also kept a livejournal the majority of my freshman and sophomore years at university that I was pretty regular about too. Don't post in it much anymore though since the community sort of disappeared. LJ was neat bc it felt like facebook only you could write an essay about how you feel instead of a meager comment. It was like a diary mixed with a lot of thoughtful discussion, and I miss it...

you know, it's a good idea. my mind is so blank i forget what i've done at the start of my day, never mind the beginning of the week.
like electric said, i used to have an lj journal too. i posted only when i was really upset, i'd be honest, lol. i just vent feelings. i think it just happens to be how i deal with things, events rarely matter to me because nothing notable really happens.
i had a diary when i was about ten though? i think i wrote bad stories in there instead. like, i've had several attempts at keeping dairies, but they never carried on past the first three days of using it. i just have a commitment issue, okay?
