I’ve got a blog. I should use it more. ---

Yes I do. And it’s probably not worth reading. Oh, and it’s on livejournal. ---

[Yeah.](http://www.12pointfont.com) I’ve been keeping it since the summer of '99. I also keep a [blog with diabetes-related news](http://www.12pointfont.com/diabetesnews), just because that’s my personal hobby horse ever since being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Frank #2 \* > \*\*I recently started one and I’ve never liked the idea of a diary/journal. It always seemed silly to me. Now, however, it’s a good form of venting or writing down random thoughts I have. \*\* I had the exact same reaction. I scoffed and scoffed at them for ages and finally **White Lightning** goaded me into it and now I fill it with all sorts of nonsense. My link’s under the “www” button. ---

[Yep](http://www.livejournal.com/users/guinastasia). Although lately it’s been used as a place for me to bitch, so it might sound pretty depressing. ---

[Yep.](http://www.livejournal.com/users/baileh) Although most of my entries are friends only so someone has to be on my friends list to read what I write. I had the snooping parents problem as well but that pretty much takes care of it. If I posted on here as much as I do on live journal I’d have a much meatier post count now. ---
