Hello Lou dear,
                                  I'm a sagitarius (right spelling?) and I write a journal because I like inflicting the events of my day upon others!
  Only kiddin, I write a journal because I like writing and I like having people read what I write....well, sort of.

Love H xxxx

Ok you know that I'm a cancer of a very typical kind, with scorpio as my rising sign (ascendent?)

Why do I keep a journal?

I know my journal is kind of superficial, I don't use it to reveal my innermost emotions. I just hope that some peopel I know are interested in what is going on in my life, and I like to present thngs I'm proud of to an audience - you know I'm an attention seeker!!! This is what is inspiring me maybe a bit too often?

Also, as I'm a lazy email-writer, and since I've linked the journal to my site, people like my friend in NZ can keep track of my activities.

Sometimes it's also just nice to WRITE.

Love xxx

It all began the night before my last A-level exam, I was on the internet - instead of revising - and I was reading other people's journals. You know how sometimes you'll do anything instead of revising?

Inspired by suzanne's tales of braces, tennis lessons and what to buy from the supermarket for her tea, I began to tentatively type out the beginnings of what history would recall as my first journal entry. In those days there were no comments, and nobody said anything about me in their journals, so I began writing more and more attention-seeking journal entries, until one day somebody - Smiths - actually noticed me and said something to me in his journal.

After managing to get some attention, I think I realised that I was coming across in a whiney, moany, punch-me-in-the-face sort of a way, so I tried to make my journal persona more (less) like who I am in real life. Writing journal entries has just become a habit: when I moved house and didn't have the internet for a few weeks, I started writing things in a little note book, when I got my internet connection back I was going to type them all up, but I realised that without the threat of an audience, I'd actually written things that were extremely offensive.

I am a Gemini- the superior sign cos we are SO interesting and always have so much to say!

I can't even remember why I started a journal now, it was probably cos I was goaded into it by one of my many Moz-solo bitches. I use it as therapy, mostly. And hopefully, to entertain.

I'm a cancer...oh, that doesn't sound too nice. I complete a full revolution around the Sun on June 27, which puts me in the cancer category (even though I cringe when I hear talk about astrological signs). I don't keep a journal here because I knew that someday you'd ask that very question, and I wanted to have a simple answer.

im a capricorn, a difficult bunch we are from what i gather. i keep my journal so that i have a avenue to vent whatever shit is going on with me.

Cusp of Gemini/Cancer - I was born on the 21st of June.

I share my B/day with Bitney Smears, draw parallels by all means, i'm an easier lay though....ooops i'll do you again!

Oh that makes me a Sagi man btw, like the 'H' meister above!

love the Kestrel x

Not many earth signs on here it seems - I'm a Taurus with Aquarius rising (yes, very weird). I'm right on the cusp of Gemini though. In fact I went for most of my life thinking I *was* Gemini, till I got my chart done.

As to why I write a journal, I love the feeling that a few like-minded souls are reading me and "get" me, just as I enjoy reading theirs. I've kept a journal all my life, so it isn't such a huge leap. The online medium makes it very tempting to show off, though, or to construct a sort of character/persona. I try to keep away from that...

But at any rate, I'm a tactful Libran, as you know.

I didn't know we were prone to self-analysis? (Yeh, let's have an arguement!) I thought it was supposed to be the exact opposite: that we're prone to highly abstract, ego-excluded analysis, being the only sign in the zodiac without a living creature to symbolise it?

If I tried to tell you why I keep a journal this post could well go on for 16 pages. See I'm a true Libran! I mentioned the germ of why at my first entry, yet things have moved on and become more complex since then. Aaagh! What I mean is...
