I read some journals, it mostly depends on the name since some members write updates about thier amvs and such things so it's quite useful in some cases. I wrie some things too sometimes I just wirte songlyrics or what comes to my mind but I don't really care if anyone really reads it.

To be honest, I read some journals for the comedy gold within...

I started reading journals not too long ago myself, when I decided to start writing in my own. Since then, I check the latest updates when I have the time. It's fun to see what other people write ^_^

My own journal is not extremly interesting. I mean, I don't make AMV's, so I write about other things (though I do tend to say alot about leaving opinions ^-^;;). I think it's fun, and a year from now, you can re-read what you were thinking way back then :D

Well about mine, I really rarely write something that don't is about AnimeMusicVideos, most of it, so nearly all of it is about what will be my projects how I'm working on and how things are going :)

I think that's actually quite a valid point. I've sometimes found myself looking back at certain posts that I have made in some of the first forums I have entered and looked at how much, if I had, changed across that time in terms of my posting habits...

It certainly an experience to learn from, in my opinion.

I like too to do it so I quote what you said =)

Haha, I caught myself doing that too! :lol: It's a strange thing, but I have this urge to compare things. Looking back always makes me realise that I've grown (mostly in me leaving opinions) and such... So that is one of the main arguments for me to keep writing in my journal * in search for motivation ^^;; *

It's suprising sometimes when you look back at your journal/posts... I have found myself thinking that this person from way back when was such a different person from the person reading it now. I have sometimes cringed at things I myself have said and I just want to travel back in time and slap some sense in to the me in the past :lol:

Other times, I just think there was much more brains in the past than I have now... generally, I think looking back at old journals makes me believe I'm growing dumber than wiser :roll:

it would be nice to have a calander option on the journals, that way you can look and see when you made posts..

Just think of journals as the long lost and (apparently) much beloved off topic section. You can post whatever you want (although I'm sure there are limits somehow).

If you want to keep track of your video progress; awesome
If you want to make lists of people that should rotate on your pole; uh.... if it's your thing (*cough* sammy). If you want to post the notes on your next physics exam, I can't really see what's stopping you. I often wonder just how accurate the Journal is as a window to someone. You get the feeling that some people just 'think' about stuff way too much, and that others are barely literate monkeys hammering on the keys in between ook-ook-ooking their videos together.

It is sort of weird that it is there in the first place don't you think? Maybe it came with the program, and since it's harmless enough the admins just left it. Journals unlike threads don't seem to get locked...

This thread for example probably isn't going to get anything useful or new added, so I'm envisioning a little lock symbol next to it.
