Dude, I keep a journal., Do YOU? Options

I was wondering...

Does anyone keep a journal? You know, like a diary? I don't mean and online blog or anything. I mean paper and a pencil. Remember those? Haha.
I recently found my old journal that I kept from ages 6-14. I had a lot of fun reading it, so I decided to start writing in it again because I'm about to turn 18 and I think I'll be interesting to look back on all this stuff that's goin' on when I'm older haha. And I'll have somethin' to show my kids.

So yeah, do you?

I think it'll be cool when I'm older cause it's handwritten, ya know? It's more personal. I like reading my grandmas about the depression and WWII and stuff.

it's weird, i kept one from second grade, which i laugh about. and kept one from sixth grade which i wouldn't dare to look back in. i have lot of pretty journals, empty though. im afraid to write in them actually. i say it's b/c i write bad and don't want to ruin the pages but im sure it's more than that, im just not telling myself. so i just write in old school notebooks. like, i write one page in one notebook, then go do it again in another one. they're all over my room

Ha, me too! They're everywhere in my room. I usually write poetry in those. I hate it though because I can never find anything. I write on a couple pages then never use it again and when I do write again, I end up using a new one. I have to flip through them all to find anything haha. I need to get organized. -_-'

Yeah I like handwritten journals especially since you can see how your handwriting progresses over time. It may not be much, but still. I used to keep one from seventh to tenth grade. When eleventh grade came, I never found the time.

I had one when I was really young, and I went through a phase where I did what I called serious "journaling" for about a year in high school. My journal was a thick, text-book sized, hardcover book with blank pages and I'd just write wherever in it. I also took magazine clippings, photos, ticket stubs, colored pencils, markers, anything.. Every page was pretty.

I burned everything I could find last summer.

Why'd your burn everything?
