If you keep a personal journal, take it out. Skim between some pages or open randomly. Take one or two sentences you're fine sharing and post it. The more bizarre or out of context the better, but explain if you wish.
I opened mine to: "I keep popping gigantic marshmallow eggs into my mouth and compulsively checking the pantry for food."

haha, fun!
okay, well this is how it's formatted in my journal (which is a terror to read, because the whole thing is pretty much formatted in this fashion):
"i kept pressuring him to answer the question,
why ~~~~~ [scribbles referencing his rebuttle]
why ~~~~~~
why ~~~~~~~~~~
why ~~~~
and eventually he pulled out the usual trump card: "because GOD made it so!"
brilliant! well done, john..."

"I talked to xxx on msn today, I'm apparently his groupie."
"I am now 100% sure that what happened on friday wasn't just because he was drunk."
Not very interesting, I know.

This is sad, because I want to participate, but I don't keep a personal journal. I do have a livejournal. I'll just pretend it is the same.
"Though, they did seem to be confused on who kills who in the Iliad. But, whatever."

yeah, i have an online journal.
"and also i love WoW bye guys"
"livejournal is gay"
"teenage girls are GAY"
"my birthday barbecue was fantastisch, also this made my day:
___ wrote
at 5:10pm
i just sponatenously ejaculated xxx"
"GAY SHAME!!!!"
"YES YES YES FUCK YES NEED NEED NEED IT NOW OMG OMG DIABLO 3 DIABLO 3 DIABLO 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
so i have concluded that most of my entries are spazzy and not serious at all. the serious ones are too serious to post.

so i have concluded that most of my entries are spazzy and not serious at all. the serious ones are too serious to post. That is how mine used to be. Now I usually write in mine when I am bored and am procrastinating, or if I want to whine, or if I feel like giving a full detail report of my day. So, basically, it's totally interesting... Sometimes, I write things like this: "The assumptions embedded in this definition of culture is that there will be a cave full of bats. And these bats will teach mankind how to hunt the animals and to create things. They are a wise race of bats. Some might call them aliens. They taught the Inca everything they know. They had elongated skulls. And were actually not batlike at all. But they were called bats in Batman. Bruce Wayne is the last of their kind." ..when I don't want to be working on my homework or papers.  |

Such fun replies! Most of journal writing is all too serious; I'm actually having trouble finding another. This is from my online journal: "Times like this call for cold grits to pour over my balloon head." Unfortunately, that's not the best part. I mention how pea soup will do, go into a story about an uncle, his crazed life of pea soup, and then me suffocating in pea soup which is "how I died before I was born." what is a personal journal? Just something you write down your thoughts in. Online journals can count, too. |

The only thing close to a personal journal I have is a very very sporadically updated myspace blog. And those are usually quite spazzy and/or not serious at all too. Actually they're quite insignificant. Here's the most recent entry:
Friday, October 10, 2008
"Today, while eating Lipton Soup Secrets, (which is a very very tasty brand of soup, the broth is very salty and good, though it could use some more noodles, but that's easily fixable if you just boil some more noodles of your own, but in a way that would be annoying and more time-consuming and not as convenient as just having more noodles in the soup package itself, BUT ANYWAY you should still try the stuff) I was thinking that The Soup Slurpers would be an excellent name for a band."
I wish I could find my old journals from when I was about 7/8 years old. The spelling was hilariously horrible and I wrote things like "Today I whent to a rollor rink and rollar skated wiht my frend katie and we ate picksey stiks and it was soooooo kool!!!!!"

I really like this, I never go back over what I've written, so its fun to flip to a random page and see what's there. I'm sensitive, so I think serious stuff is good, too.
Anyway, another Journal Dipping:
"I couldn't find any This American Life shirts that I liked, so I think I'll make my own. Or maybe I'll make an Ira Glass shirt. Holy fuck!!!! how pretentious would that be!?! This is either a very good idea.... or a very, very poor one. I'll sleep on it."
i decided not to make the shirt. in honor, though, I'll change my dp.

The spelling was hilariously horrible and I wrote things like "Today I whent to a rollor rink and rollar skated wiht my frend katie and we ate picksey stiks and it was soooooo kool!!!!!" omg. funny you should mention that. here are some journal/story excerpts of little jay...... "what i like and what i don't like about corby. dislike: pollution, litter, car fumes, robberys, thiefts, new things being made and than copied by other companys. like: gardens, flowers, electronical substances, non-cons, bins." LOL.. "Why Me i get picked on all the time why me It's not My fault why Me people shout at me why ME"  "TIME time, we have all the time in the world to love each other, time just flys by when i am with you, i love you mum xxxxxxxxxx" "egyptian mummies. egyptian people belived in god's and goddesses. the goddess of water was hapi." "poem the peum is i have a dog, i have a dog dog" "the map. we shall start from east south east in smallville. follow the dotted line across to the apple tree go down and into minville and cross the hayling ocean. follow the dotted line across (again) to the chant crystal. collect it and put it in your boat and go to hayling island. follow the dotted line to the cross. AND THERE IS YOUR TREASURE!" "cocoa the clown. cocoa, is my string-puppet. he has black Tufty hair, a purple shirt, a big yellow bow tie, and a long, checked coat. and (of couse) green trousers! + a pink hat! he can dance." "teeth. look into the mirror. look at your teeth."  "I HAVE HAD A CRAP DAY!" "fly south little birds. fly south little birds, calling on the oak tree, by the brook, the roses swinging in the breeze" "5.10.95 my dad made an invention today he made it" "JADE'S IN LONDON!!! GOD RIDENCE!" (i hated her.) |

rofl, Jay those are amazing, i particularly enjoy your poem about the dog. i have a diary from when i was 11/12, it's hilarious and mostly consists of me babbling about some 4th year i 'fancied' he was hideous. anyway, here are some exciting things for you to read "Help. I am turning nocturnal. Helen's dog kept puking up gummi-bears next to me last night" oh i remember this well on the next page there is a delightful illustration of Thom Yorke on a roll "I taught Helen how to draw manga/anime eyes the other day, she's really good!" HAAWHFEHSKFHS NOOOOOOOOOO 'I got my Silver Mt Zion cd today! At first i was like "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT 4 TRAAAAACKS FUUUUUUUUCK!" then i realised each track was 15 minutes at least. Heh" oh it's a hard life "I luuuve him he's well sweet! ^.^" about my best friend. i actually wrote "luuuve" and drew that fucking emoticon oh god lolz "I have to give lots of people humbugs now so I must buy some in town tomorrow" "I've gone indie. MODEST MOUSE MAN! WOO! ROCKIN'!" i THINK i was joking here. at least i hope i was. :/ also here is a poem i wrote which i think has to do with this photo:  Carmom is my Best FriendCarmom is my bestest friend She's never ever cried Carmom is my bestest friend Even though she died Carmom is my bestest friend She's always there for me Carmom is my bestest friend As far as I can see Carmom is my bestest friend Whether near or far Carmom is my bestest friend Always in the back of my car lolwut "Unf. Help. I have been heard of by people I don't know. I AM TEH SCARED! And I can't stop listening to Mew. FG! MITCH! DIE! ^_^ HOSHEET!" dear gott in himmel what. again i actually drew that emoticon. "looooooooooooool ken that hen kehn dat hehn KAEN DAT HAEN! Aye. Aye a dae." HAHAHAHAHHAHA WHAT THE FUCK "Fuck your mum on a Friday night with Jonathon Ross  " ahaha sadly i have no idea what i was so angry about when i wrote this, i never elaborated "OMG UMBROLLY LAND LOL KEN" at this point i must explain my diary is an Emily Strange one and had pages in between the ones you could write on with fun and exciting pictures of things such as cats with umbrellas. well that was entertaining, i'm glad this thread reminded me of my past self. |
