Ya, it's cool to read through some of the old enties. I remember I started keeping journals in 8th grade as part of a writing requirement. We were all given a little paper back booklet with about 100 pages and intructed to write a couple enties a week as part of our assignments. I started writting and flew through about 4 to 5 books that year. It was amazing i thought and of coarse the teacher was shocked as well.
Unfortionatly i have the bad habit of throwing them out after a couple of years for whatever reason. I wish i hadn't now though. I can't wait to start doing live journals so i'll have to think about what it would take to start that up. Have you ever wanted to keep a journal through voice instead of writting, it sounds intimidating to me and expensive but it might be cool. Plus hey, they've got to have some kind of device that recordes to a memory stick instead of tape right?
