Nope. I don’t have the desire to post my life on the net. Besides, it would put most people to sleep. They make pills for that so I would be depriving some poor drug company from supplying it’s employees with a living. ---

I keep a livejournal, but its not updated enough to actually bring attention to it. I do keep an online journal at [http://malkavia.diaryland.com](http://malkavia.diaryland.com) though, complete with links to my actual homepage that badly needs to be redesigned. Procrastination, how sweet it is. ---

(Oh, boy, an old thread. I had to search quite a bit, but I knew it was here.) Anyway, I just got one, too. [Here’s mine](http://www.livejournal.com/users/kinsey/) I have almost always kept a journal of sorts and this looks to be rather fun. Or it could be really boring. We’ll see. ---

Yes and no. I’ve kept one sporadically for years, on paper, in ink. Share it with others? Nope. Why not? Because it’s where I spew out confusion over everday life. Most of it would bore onlookers utterly witless and wouldn’t do me much credit either. Yeah, yeah, so I’m a troglodyte. Frankly my life isn’t all that interesting but my journal is _private_. It’s where I can process the minituae of my life without reserve. Thoughts I didn’t know I had boil out, but they’re for my later consideration. It’s a tool and a discipline. I don’t WANT to self-edit. Not every thought is couth, fair, kind or without potential to damge others. With expression comes responsibility, IMO. I’ve burned most of 'em; they did their work already, showing me to myself. The picture wasn’t always pretty. I’m NOT capping those who make their journals public. Different ways, different people and different intents. I just prefer to keep my journal private. Veb ---

I’m with TVeblen. I have a notebook that I use as a journal. Filled with semi-coherent rantings about what or who is confusing me lately. There’s pictures and pieces of letters/notes/emails taped inside… I would rather be submerged in a sewage tank than post a journal on the web-and I’m the High Priestess of TMI Town. 🙂 A girl needs to have some secrets.
