What good ever came of journals/diaries? Is David Letterman happy about it? You want to risk losing the trust of loved ones? You want to risk the love of someone close? You want to risk future incarceration or institutionalization? Is your ego's need to gossip to yourself so important that you are willing to risk everything and everyone else in your life?

The only possible reason I can imagine for keeping a journal is if you had some need to establish an elaborate alibi. And at that point, it is a work of fiction.

You should NEVER love anything that can't love you back. Everyone do yourself a favor and go throw away your journal, right now. If this isn't easy to do, you are broken on the inside. And a diary won't save you.

If you intend to invade Poland, however, please disregard this and keep a detailed journal for history. Or if you are a Jew hiding in the attic from some guy invading Poland.
I don't want to sound gay or nothin'

But I find that journaling helps me to view my thoughts, feelings and actions objectively, allowing me to make decisions from a place of better self knowledge and objective good sense. When I know how I'm really feeling, and how I usually act, I can take better stock of the situations I find myself in. It's just like writing down anything else you might want to keep track of-- every science experiment needs the observations section.

You may be thinking of Buck Angel, the dude with a pussy.

Long as you understand human nature, at some point, someone will read it, and you have zero right to be upset at them when it eventually happens. As long as you believe the benefits outweigh the cost, more power to you.

Thanks, I think.

I actually used to write my journal as a child/young teen and pretend that someone was reading it. It got to a point where I would start each entry as a letter to an imaginary correspondent.

I also remember paying a lot of attention to the mention of the journals of historical figures, and I had the secret hope/delusion that one day, I would be the kind of important figure who had their journals published.

I've gone back and read a few of them. They're all crap. Believe me.

Then again, I've read the journals of famous people, and they were also fairly crap. It's just not that exciting.

On the subject of journals, I think its more therapeutic than anything else. Obviously people think quicker than they can write/type things out so it forces your world to spin a little slower. Even if what you're writing is just crap, its okay, cause for that whatever bit of time, you feel a lot better. I agree that it is a bit narcissistic and you do expect someone to read it someday.


Fake Orgasms:
Yeah...been there too, and it sucks. Keith is right, girls don't really know, especially if you're wrapping your tool.


Love Face on the show. The performance piece was brilliant, though I do feel sheltered since I only understood about half the words...

As open as I am, I'm still private. Always have been. My mom encouraged me to journal, and I did for a while before HS, sometimes it really helped, and sometimes it did more harm to me to reread it.

I can't live in the past.

However, I don't think a book lying out that isn't yours is open views. That's like someone just going through your wallet, no, don't do that. I don't look at emails not directed to me, respect? Am I being too much of an only child? But I won't go through your shit, why go through mine?

Because it is human nature. Even really good people, on a long enough time line, occasionally do minor wrongs. Have you never done something you shouldn't do? Reading a diary is the same as rubber necking at a car wreck(only people are less likely to die with a diary). It's wrong, people know it's wrong, but even really good people give in and gawk every once in awhile.

The real moral question is, why would you insist someone live up to some super human level of respect that is nearly impossible, over the long term, to live up to? That seems more wrong to me. That seems to be where the lack of respect is. Respect my humanity, please.

Where you put your journal is a statement of your willingness to let people see it. If I read your journal when it is purposefully sitting on your coffee table, I am not an asshole. If I read your journal after snooping around in your shit, I am an asshole.

If you don't want someone to read something, don't put it out in the open. I don't expect someone to not go through my porn if I leave a stack of DVDs right under my TV. I do expect someone to not go through my porn if it is fairly concealed in my closet.

It's not a matter of temptation, it's a matter of where you put things is an open declaration of how private you think a thing is. Am I an asshole if I look at a chick's cleavage if she's wearing a shirt that shows it off? Of course not. I see it as the same sort of thing.

I get that, however, no I'm not being holier than thou, but I won't go through your shit, staying there as a friend or at home.

Sure I've done stuff, but really, snooping in wallets and private stuff...no way.
