My diaries are encrypted. >>

Mine are too, but it's too late now.

Tsk. Forward planning, man!

That's where my time machine comes into play.

Do y'all write only significant happenings in your diaries or do y'all write all the day-to-day stuffs too?

Mixture of both. It's mostly a way to wrap the day up and help my awful sense of time by running back over what happened; what I actually write is more dependent on how talkative I'm feeling than the significance of the day's events.. Entries vary from two-line summaries to long-winded philosophical ramblings.

That's nothing. For me, entries range from one word (usually "nothing" or "same" to the extent in which I need a new diary.

See, this is the advantage of doing it digitally - unlimited space. (This said, I have to segment my diaries into 200KB blocks, because the 2002-vintage PDA I write on with a 200MHz processor can't handle anything bigger without lagging..)

"Dear Dia-"

"-ry. Today was a very exci-"

"-ting day."

200KB is about 36,000 words.

Details, details. I was approximating.

I write daily events (mostly even piddling stuffs) in detail, because I enjoy reading about them later on-like after a year or more. It's amusing to read how I spent a particular day a year before. But I write pages when something significant happens-things which affect me. I don't use the computer to store my memories though. I am more comfortable with books. But I hope this changes soon-these days it's impossible to not rely on computers for education & all.

I very rarely read back over my diaries. Occasionally I need to look up when something happened, but that's about it.
I write digitally because it's so much more convenient - I always keep my organiser on me, and it's small, light and secure. Much better than a book.

Yes it is. Hope I get used to digital things soon. It's pretty funny actually-my parents use technology more than I do. But they are quite pathetic when it comes to cellphones.

I don't use cell phones for much more than calling. For everything else, I have my Ipod Touch.

Just to make this not an off-topic post:

The Intellectual Devotional - David S. Kidder, Noah D. Oppenheim

Absolution Gap - Alastair Reynolds.
Sort of. Not much time for reading..

Basically what I do is power browse. 30 minutes to a book.

Im reading the Children of the Lamp series the 5th book right now. Lol because I looked up "Djinn" in a library serach engine and that was the only djinn book they had. Childrens books (specialy the covers =P) but I like them. And im rereading the bits of Amulet and Ptolemys gate I like.

God I haven't been on here for ages.. !!I'm surprised to see it's still going strong.. ;)

As a twilight fan a friend suggested a book called Evernight which i read in less than a day and loved.. so am reading the second book called Stargazer and have nearly finished that one too..Although they're kind of copies of twilight I think they're actually quite good .. :D

I'm sure plenty of stories are kinda copies of Twilight. It's not like Twilight is totally unique.

...Sorry. Couldn't resist.
