Do you have a diary?

I just made my first entry in a notebook I found. I've never done it before, but it feels pretty good getting my thoughts onto paper.

I only write about really important events that i want to hold on to forever.
I've only done it a few times, but it is great for reliving those times.

I have a diary, but I use it to put in dates of meetings, peoples details and other notes I need to remember.

my mum has an iPaq but only uses the diary and calander features. Quite a waste really. Although I do use it to read /. while watching TV.

When I was younger I used to try to keep a diary of my thoughts and stuff, but I never really kept up with it in the end because I ended up writing too much.

Now I just keep a diary of events/appointments etc. Its summer now so I dont really need it, but during University its pretty important, especially if I'm working as well.

No, but if, but I did have a xanga account set to private that I would write stuff on if things weren't going quite right for me. It is shocking how much better you feel after you get emotions out on paper though.

I do believe blogs are Generation Y's version of diaries.

No diary, no blog, no stuff like that. I write things, but not about my inner most thoughts or stuff that actually happenned to me.

Diaries are for women.

Journals are for men.

Just ask Doug.

Diaries are a private place to write your thoughts.
Blogs are a public place to write your thoughts and seek attention.

That's the very first thing that came to mind when I saw this topic. Great minds think alike!

Last summer I randomly decided to log all the kickass stuff I did... looking back it is kinda nice being able to relive those moments...

I used to keep a private online journal (thus not a real blog), mostly of my development stuff. That is no more, though.

I always have a notebook on me. I use it for working out development problems, ideas, occasionally working on fiction or concept sketches. I wouldn't really call it a diary or a journal; both of those suggest a sense of time and this never does. I don't date any of the entries, and will just as often write 4 or 5 entries in a single day as I will go a couple days without writing anything (i.e., entries are broken down by idea rather than time).

I keep a journal to write how I am feeling especially when life has hit rock bottom.
