Beware of The BLOG...it creeps, it leaps, it glides & slides all over the place.
I wish more people kept diaries. I know I wish *I* did. The only times I've ever been consistent was when I was in therapy in high school. Reading that now is just painful, between the circumstances and the normal tortured teenage angst...
I keep a journal. Of course, it began as a diary when I was in 6th grade and just evolved as I grew older. Mine is usually good for a laugh.
Hey ebuc!* Dorothy Parker'sand * Ayn Rands diaries would be a couple I'd like to read too! Also Errol Flynn and Harpo Marx. And I just love to quote this quip of Dorothy Parker's whenever the opportunity arises. "I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. Three and I'm under the table. Four and I'm under the host!" And that was way back in the 1920's, I think. Quite risque eh?
I haaaated keeping a journal when it was assigned to us at school one year.Ugh.
brooke: and yet you blog. Don't you think they're almost the same thing?
Nah. There's no interaction with a diary.
brooke: I disagree. A journal is the ultimate interaction -- the one with yourself.
