Do you keep a journal for your thoughts or to recount what you did that day? Have you ever?

No. I've thought about keeping a dream journal but that only occured to me when I was wide awake after the memory of the dream has faded.

no, ive never kept a journal/diary

When i got my first pc i tried to keep a "diary" or whatever but I didnt keep up with it.

I've tried but it's just not me.

Yeah, the last time I tried keeping a diary I think was when I was 10 years old and that's only because I got it as a birthday present, just isn't my stuff.

I did up until I was about 17 or 18. Its funny going back and reading some of them now.

Like Robbie, when I got my first computer as a teenager, I tried to do the Doogie Howser thing; keeping a journal on Microsoft works format, and saving them to a 3.5 floppy. Today computers don't have floppy drives anymore, so I can't pull up any of those old entries, but I haven't thrown them away.

I bought a floppy drive that plugs into my USB port if I ever want to see some of the old floppies I created.

I should do that, because I have a box full of old 3.5 disks from my high school and college years that I haven't been able to access in about a decade. I remember when I was in college, zip drives were the new fad that the serious PC-ers were investing in. I wanted one, but they were too expensive at the time. I wonder if people still use them.

Yeah I remember Zip drives, I never had one but I had friends that did and I think they had problems with them.

I tried to keep a diary when I was younger. Think I wrote in it faithfully for about a week, then quit. Don't have any interest in doing that shit now. My dad does though. But he doesn't necessarily write down his feelings or whatever....he basically just writes down what he did for the day, events that happened that day, his plans for the next day, etc. And also, how much money he made that day, lol.

I tried to keep a journal on my computer years ago, but could never stay committed to keeping it updated.

My entries would look something like this:

January 2...January 3....January 4....January 5....March 19....March 27....July 10....September 3 (of the following year.)
