You know me... I'm tired of myself, of my little person and all the egomania. Now that I am myself an egomaniac, but you know sometimes it's good to think about something else than yourself. And I've found that the best way to evade your ego is to go straight to the heart of someone else's ego. And that, my friends, is best accomplished by raiding the diaries of other people. Not that I approve of it in general, but you know... it's for medical reasons, for our well-being, so we're not hopelessly preoccupied with just our own lives -- we have lives, you know?

Besides, if diaries were made to be private, they'd have better locks.

Please respect the privacy of other people by keeping the entries anonymous.

Here's one :

Dear Diary,

Today, I did nothing. Nothing because my shrink tells me reading is passive and I need to be more active and cut down on the Ripple. So read I did passively, sipping Ripple watered down by about a quart. Next week, it will be half water and the next only a quart of Ripple.. until I'm completely weaned. I reread Possessed and reviewed my objections to this blasphemous monstruosity. I then walked to Tower Records, rehearsing for the day I'll be walking in the store to buy Musicology. I remembered I needed to be more active, so I asked the sales clerk where he thought they'd put Musicology when it's released. He had no idea, I explained iPrince was making a comeback, so it would be great if Tower was ready, but he just said "Back? Yes, Prince's cds are at the back." and left me to tend to the needs of a charming young woman probably looking for the latest Avril. Avril in April... how original!

Here's another one, cpmpletely different person -- I was shccked he keeps a diary.

Dear diary,

Today Bilebored, Popshit and Roll In Tune all smiled on Musickology. Looks like all the stupid hype is working and pushing this crap up the charts and into the consciousness of incompetent monkeys who obviously lost all the hearing they had left after standing too close to Jack White's amps. This shit ain't even funny -- Life O' the Party, "sizzling"? Not even the famiest of the fams agree this song's worth more than a parrot's droppings. I think I'll go annoy them now.

lol aerogram you'd better not be snooping around in mine anytime soon

Yet another person. I've taken great care to hide her identity.

Dear Diary,

On the Couch is playing while I type this. This mod's job's a perfectly resistable bitch right now! Thank God for ....., who thought of that sponge thread, which I hope will absorb some of the overflow. I mean the place's just crawling with three-replies thread and they're just talking about the same thing in a thousand pieces. And ..... cam back! I'm guarded but hopeful. We need more form threads to keep me from losing my mind.

dear diery
i can't find the spelchek on hear. maybe a modrater wil kerrect this post. by the way whoz this prince giy evry unes talks abowt? is he with the isekapades?

nubee

And another -- I'm starting to feel a bit guilty, but diary raiding is my chosen form of therapy, so...

Dear diary,

I woke up this morning just before dawn and banged my little toe on the crate box I use as a sock drawer. Better move that thing to the other side of the bed. I took myh first shower of the day and dressed meticulously, flossing twice for good luck. I drove to work as the sun was rising on the horizon and... I just stopped. Stopped to admire this beautiful world, this life that otherwise slips away day by day if you don't look around. I took beautiful pictures and wrote a rather inspired poem.

Pretty much all the entries started this way...

If you don't want people to read your diary either hide it or don't keep one.

Dear diary
Why does it feel like I am talking to myself? isn't that what a diary is for though?

this thread reminds me of the book the diary of Laura Palmer

I can't answer the mod has warned me this week

jn2 said:

Or was that supposed to be me?

Dear Diary,

For once, I've resisted a paying Prince download. I think I can manage to wait until the record comes out. I'll buy two copies of Musicology in store. The clerk will hand them to me and I'll probably say "I apologize for making you handle such crap, but I'm a collector." Then he'll ask why I'm buying two of them, and I'll say "One to torture my ears once or twice, and the other I'll keep sealed." That should be fun.
