Nah! Not my sort of thing! Journals and diaries can be found and read, I prefer to keep things saftly tucked away in my head! Plus when I actually try and start one, nothing worth writing about happens, so I don't bother

I tried. I never could get in the habit of writing in it consistently. The closest thing I've ever had is my Book of Shadows and Mirror Book.

Yes, I wrote in a journal daily for years. It really helped me clarify and sort out my thoughts. Now, I don't need to because I can sort out things in my head.

Not a diary. I once tried to record my dreams, but they are too hard to write down. It's was stuff like "I was in my house but somehow outside, and it wasn't really my house it was more like a school....." ?? do you know what I mean . They hardly ever made any sense, so I gave that up. I still have it somewhere though, it will probably provide me some entertainment in the future!

I've kept a diary since I was twelve. I don't write every day (sometimes I'll write daily, sometimes not for months at a time) its more of a random thoughts and idea and rants book than a "this is what I did today" diary- but I like to write things down. I also have seperate notebooks for story ideas, random quotes I overhear, weird news stories, poems and stuff like that.

I keep a diary on the internet.

I think a journal/diary should be kept secret.

I started keeping one about six months ago. It has been really interesting to look back and see what I dreamed. I don't remember the dreams at all now and so it is like reading somebody else's dreams and I can't believe that they are mine! Also it is much easier to see what my dreams were telling me because now I have hindsight. I use a free site called http://www.matchadream.com to keep my dream journal coz its got some cool extra features which makes it better than just writing it on paper. I can highly recommend keeping a dream diary but the trick is to keep at it and be regular about it, otherwise you won't see the benefit.

Yeah...when I was a teenager!

Several diaries and journals, but I always throw them away. I don't want anyone to ever see them.

Yes, I kept one right after a bad breakup two years ago. I was really angry and hurt at the time, and I used to write pages and pages of how much a jerk my ex was. Sometimes it's fun to pull it out and read it for a good laugh- also I know how far I have come emotionally in the last year because I barely even think about him anymore!

I've never been that consistant in my life as to keep a diary.

Yes. I have actually set it up as a Yahoo Group, and I am the only member. After I write a lot of entries (about once a month), I download them to a disc.

I sort of use Blogger.com as my public journal.

Yeah, when I was 5-6 years old. But now I just use my memory instead :)

No I never have kept a diary. Someone would find it!

I keep a journal on my hard drive as a Word file.

I keep a journal but I don't write in it everyday. I write in it when I am mad or having problems. It lets me get it out in a positive way and helps me sort out my thoughts and feelings.

Sometimes yes... i usually write in it if something big has happened in my life, or i just use it to vent.

when i was working i would keep a daily job report and i would keep a seperate personal "day at a glance" book and would enter a very brief summation of the day, i did so because i could. now i don't because i dont have that job anymore... lazyness...

I blog, so yes, I'd consider that a diary. It's a combination of a daily life blog, a work blog, a food blog, etc. I write about my life and my thoughts, I write about the horses I work with here at my university, and I write about the food I cook. Why do I do this..? Because I love to write. And I love to remember things. I love to narrate my own life. And I love to go back and read it. I've been blogging for about seven years, so it's amazing to go back and see how I've changed and see what was happening in my life at different points in time.

No, I would never. I would be too scared that someone would read it. If I need to write, it would be on a scrap piece of paper. And I always rip it up afterwards.

I do not have a diary. I have a joural where I write down what I did on a trip. Instead, I have my own notebook that I write my own storys!

I keep one for my husband,son and granddaughter but not one for me. I wouldn't be able to be honest in fear of someone else reading it.

Kind of, but it's not really a diary. It's a Book of Shadows for video games lol. It has anything in it. Notes, technical video game stuff like crude maps, passwords, places to check later or how to do what when where, quotes from games, books or movies, drawings when I get bored or inspired, lists of things to do or buy, sudden and great thoughts about trivial, mundane or ominous subjects like my hair or philosophy, poems, a bunch of nonsense, three pages covered in negative words like death, blood, die, sorrow and so on from once when I was really mad, a lot of other things that reflect something I was feeling at the time. Also a really badly done portrait of someone I'm seeing now that I literally kissed and purposely spread lipstick on, I wonder what he'd say if he saw that? XD And yes, some ''entries'' as well. These ''entries'' are disguised though, usually through abnormal forms of speech or even through the voices or minds of characters I create that would make absolutely no sense to anyone who read it but me, because although a diary basically is made to be read, or so they say, I don't want people to read mine, so if anyone finds it they'll just think I'm nuts. I don't care if they think I need help, as long as they don't make sense of what I'm actually saying in it. It's an old green Hibroy notebook with about 300 pages, the cover is hanging by a strand, half the pages are soon going to fall out, it has coffee stains on it, the bottom of most pages are all deformed from once when I went camping and took it on a boat and water splashed on it, but I can't get rid of it. Also, I tried to name it. A lot of pages have drawn on titles, but none of them work or stick. It's just, my book lol. I've tried often to to start in a new notebook or art book, even bought new ones, but it seems like I can't put it away until either all the pages are filled or it falls apart. It's like a part of my soul, even if it's just this dirty old scrap book thing. As I also use it to store addresses, phone numbers, e-mails and it even has some job search information in it from when I first got it, anyone who sees it completely disapproves of its appearance and what it's used for, because apparently I should get a neat little digital organizer or phone book to go with the rest of my neat freak self. But the hell with it, I like what I consider a physical testament to whatever a soul is. It may not be much at all, but it's mine, and pretty personal in a way. XD

No...I like to keep my thought to myself, diaries can be found and read by others. Some things are just to personal to share with anyone.

Journaling is one of those things we all know we should do, but doesn't always get done. I have struggled keeping a consistent journal, until I started using Pyxlin.com. It is: private, online, no annoying ads, and when I want I can print my journal into a hardbound book. My Aunt once said that keeping a daily diary is like a cheap, but effective, psychiatrist. I actually write for my posterity. I am not married yet, but each time I write I think to myself, what I have learned today that could help my posterity. Surprisingly enough, it helps me too.

I have a journal, but it's more like a shopping list of where I've been. No whining or anything. I consider answerbag more of my journal. ABers are sharing their journal with eachother everyday. Journals aren't so personal anymore.

Yes, since i was young - have done for the last 23 years or so, although there are times i write more than others.... i find it funny to go over the ones from when i was very young... sometimes i read things i don't even remember happening. I tend to write in them more if i am having a difficult time as i find it cathartic... i would die if anyone read them

no i just write stories and poems sometimes but i dont have a diary.

yes, it helps me to get my thoughts out on paper

It's probably the least personal personal diary ever, but yeah.

Hell no. I had one when I was younger and the lock was cut off of it and it was read.

If I did I stopped in about a week

I have tried many times but always gave up. Now I have thrown away all of them. I havn't decided if I'll try again or not.

I kept a diary as a child but stopped once my sister read it and actually wrote a note to me in the margin!!Lol!Icould've killed her for that!

I journaled for many years, then got a wild hair and burned them all :( Now I wish I hadn't done that! I went for several years without writing but started up again recently. For me it's relaxing and cathartic. Plus, it's a creative outlet. Sometimes a song or a poem will begin with something I jotted down in my journal.

I've kept different journals, but I don't keep up with them on a daily basis, like they say you should.

Yes, I do. I keep it to stay sane! Actually, I write my thoughts, my feelings things that I want to say to others but need to get it written down before I do to sort it out in my head... I also write short stories if they come to me... Hope this helps

I do. Check out "Why Do I Write?" on my profile for my reason.

No, but I do write a love letter to my wife once a week.

Yes, I have 3 full journals and I'm working on my 4th since age 18. It lets me vent without fear of being judged

I have been doing so for many years, and still do. Blood pressure readings, work notes, GPS log of bike rides, weather reports, body measurements.

No!My Mind is sufficient to take care of interesting things!

Yes, I have written in a journal before.

i keep a dream journal and a poetry journal thats about it

No, I dont

i would lose it in minutes

No far to risky ! :)

Oh heck NO!! No way jose.

Yes, sort of. I keep an 8x12 drawing book in which I draw things that happen to me, people I see, or drawings about whatever it is I'm thinking about at the time. Poems and quotes are in there as well, Polaroids I've taken too. My whole life is in it. :}

Yes I did.
