Just finished Lets explore diabetes with owls by David Sedaris, full of strange tales told with great wit and observation......but this excerpt caught my eye and shouted for sharing lol!..... I hadnt known on September 4 that the following afternoon I would start keeping a diary, or that it would consume me for the next thirty-five years and counting. It wasnt something Id been putting off, but once I began, I knew that I had to keep doing it. I knew as well that what I was writing was not a journal but an old-fashioned, girlish, Keep-Out-This-Means-You diary. Often the terms are used interchangeably, though Ive never understood why. Both have the word day at their root, but a journal, in my opinion, is a repository of ideas - your brain on the page. A diary, by contrast, is your heart. As for journal-ing, a verb that cropped up at around the same time as scrapbooking, that just means youre spooky and have way too much time on your hands. :D
