 My favorite diaries:
|
|
mireillie profile - diary |
| comments: My best friend. Goes by the name Blanche Blank in her journal. She came up with nicknames for everyone she writes about, and started calling me Nikita. So I use that one to sign guestbooks. She's really funny, and a good writer overall. |
|
theatre-geek profile - diary |
| comments: At first, we exchanged notes and guestbook entries. Eventually, we began e-mailing each other. That led to meeting in person, and we enjoy hanging out to this day. She's a cool person. |
|
hodgson profile - diary |
| comments: He got his own URL. http://www.jimhodgson.com/ is where you'll find him nowadays. We chat on AIM whenever we catch each other online. He's a cool guy. |
|
goosh profile - diary |
| comments: Remember Hodgson? This is his poetry. It's linked on his website, but I like the poems, so here they are. |
|
waterstain profile - diary |
| comments: I've been reading her for two years or so. She can be funny and sarcastic. But when she writes about her thoughts and feelings, I actually get to see what's behind the funny sarcastic stuff. I always like to see the reality behind the humor. |
|
asdotcom profile - diary |
| comments: I wonder what Pete's Mom is up to? |
|
b0b0 profile - diary |
| comments: Haven't read a lot of the older entries yet, but the ones I have read were interesting and well done. Plus, I like the cool Batman design, and the funky cursor trail. |
|
kitchenwitch profile - diary |
| comments: Just found her journal through other people's favorites lists. It's nice to see more Pagans on DL. |
|
Ryuu profile - diary |
| comments: She's Wiccan. She's a college student. She's a writer. She's an anti-war demonstrator. Good thing I don't like anime, or I'd think she was me... |
|
mattferrara profile - diary |
| comments: This guy is worth reading on several levels. His rants are funny and sarcastic a lot of the time. Plus, he makes very good points, and gets them across well. Sounds quite smart. And the Random Thoughts entries are just damn amusing. |
|
Unclaimed profile - diary |
| comments: Fletcher wrote again! Just the one entry though. I have no idea if he plans to write again, but I hope so. He's a good writer, and seems like a real nice guy. |
|
secondclass profile - diary |
| comments: Fletcher's friend and - till recently - housemate. A very strange guy, but in a good way. Makes for an interesting read. He did update once recently, and I hope he'll do it again soon. |
|
lostplatypus profile - diary |
| comments: I've kept up with her entries, and they are funny and interesting. She doesn't write often, but when she does I always make sure to read her. A good writer. |
|
spankbottom profile - diary |
| comments: Don't know how frequently Big Daddy Spankbottom updates, but go look. Talk about surreal. No, seriously, talk about it... |
|
not-a-finger profile - diary |
| comments: An old favorite of mine who has started writing again. I'm glad. |
|
ewige profile - diary |
| comments: This guy writes about everyday life most of the time. Work, video games, computer stuff. I find it interesting. Also, his journal looks really cool. |
|
Puckle profile - diary |
| comments: Journal of a small white cat who sleeps in what appears to be a trash can. Puckle is cute. Puckle is warm and fuzzy. Bow down to Puckle, and don't forget to clean the poop box. |
|
what---if profile - diary |
| comments: She writes about the stuff that keeps me awake. The deep philosophical questions that we all ask ourselves at some point. I'm glad there's someone else who ponders this stuff. I'm not the only one. |
|
thevampire profile - diary |
| comments: Fiction, sure. But I've always loved vampire stories, and this one has an interesting premise. |
|
Yawner profile - diary |
| comments: His old journal at Diaryland is still up, but he got his own URL - Yawner.com - and has taken a break from writing. Nothing new till he starts up again. :-( |
|
grammarwitch profile - diary |
| comments: She's cooler than I am, because she has a mortal enemy. Now, if she would only update... |
|
ravynemyst profile - diary |
| comments: I agree with her on a lot of things so far. Her political entries are really interesting, and she puts up a lot of links to sites with good information. |
|
lokicat profile - diary |
| comments: Haven't had a chance to read a lot of entries yet, but so far, so good. |
|
spanklin profile - diary |
| comments: I want to be friends with him. He once dealt out a hearty helping of whoopass with his CLARINET. I played clarinet for a short time. Don't mess with the marching band, yo. |
|
joeparadox profile - diary |
| comments: She writes really well, and the stories of her life are interesting. She's a teacher, and I love reading the stories about her class of little children. Also, she seems to have an interesting life outside the classroom. |
|
smoog profile - diary |
| comments: I would have read this journal based entirely on the username, even if I hadn't heard good things about her writing from a friend of mine. Either way, I'm glad I checked out her pages. Fun stuff. Interesting, and written well too. |
|
affablealien profile - diary |
| comments: Another random click in the night. Looks interesting so far. |
|
Kittykatne profile - diary |
| comments: A friend of Blanche Blank's. I've met her a few times in real life, and she's cool and nice. |
|
Participant profile - diary |
| comments: Been reading her for a while now. She was a college student, up till recently. I think she may have graduated. If so, I'm happy for her. Here's hoping she keeps writing now that she's out of school. |
|
doomchicken profile - diary |
| comments: I don't think this girl has updated since I added her to my list. It's a shame, really. I enjoyed the older entries I read. Was hoping she'd get into writing again soon. I think her back entries are worth reading, at any rate. |
|
Sproutlet profile - diary |
| comments: She has some depression issues. I can relate to that. She also has some interesting taste in ear jewelry. |
|
spacemuppet profile - diary |
| comments: I have a friend who claims I'm a muppet. Naturally, when I saw someone who openly admitted to being a muppet, I had to read the journal. And it's good. |
|
perceptionss profile - diary |
| comments: Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm a schizophrenic, and so am I. |
|
boogabooga profile - diary |
| comments: I read this journal for the first time based solely on the username. I was not disappointed, for the writing is interesting. |
|
darkflora profile - diary |
| comments: Another Pagan on Diaryland. I just started reading her writing, so I'll have more to say about it later. |
My favorite music: |
|
Matthew Sweet |
| comments: And it took me years to figure out/That there was nothing I could give to you/Years to figure out/That there was nothing you would take from me/And how can I describe the way/You slowly put my hope away/And all of the time/I thought I knew you |
|
Arlo Guthrie |
| comments: There won’t be any victory parades/For those that’s coming back/They’ll fly them in at midnight/And unload the body sacks/And the living will be walking down/A long and lonely road/Because nobody seems to care these days/When a soldier makes it home |
|
Barenaked Ladies |
| comments: I'm a few bricks short of a load/But a full load always hurt my back/I flew over the cuckoo's nest/And I'm never ever coming back because/I am crazy just like you/I am crazy just like you/I am crazy |
|
Weird Al |
| comments: I, man, am regal - a German am I/Never odd or even/If I had a hi-fi/Madam, I'm Adam/Too hot to hoot/No lemons, no melon/Too bad I hid a boot/Lisa Bonet ate no basil/Warsaw was raw/Was it a car or a cat I saw? |
|
B-52's |
| comments: Bright ships will sail the sea/Starfishes are spinning/Some hills are never seen/Our Universe is expanding/Moonrise upon the sea/Starships are blinking/We’ll walk in ecstasy/Clear planet blue and green |
My favorite movies: |
|
Jim Carrey, Edward Norton, Brendan Fraser |
| comments: These guys are all great actors. The comedies tend to come to mind right away, but then you've got films like The Majestic, American History X, and School Ties. They can do anything. |
|
Ethan Hawke, Christian Bale |
| comments: These guys need to do more movies. Hawke was in the indie film Tape and Bale played the psycho in American Psycho. They are amazing actors. I'd like to see them do more movies. |
|
Cecil B. Demented, Donnie Darko |
| comments: Two very good films. It's quite possible that both of them were written by psychopaths, so you know they've got to be interesting. |
|
Harry Potter |
| comments: I love the books, and now the movies too. Yay! |
|
Musicals |
| comments: I love singin' and dancin'. So much, that I'll even watch Newsies over and over. Sure it's corny, but there's singin' and dancin'! |
My favorite authors: |
|
Dr. Seuss |
| comments: Stories about: a woman with 23 kids, all named Dave; a pair of pants that walked on their own; and two guys who did nothing but walk North and South, met in the middle one day, refused to go around each other, and stood there till they died! And more! |
|
Isaac Asimov |
| comments: "The Last Question" is a short story, and it still gives me nightmares. Love it. |
|
Neil Gaiman |
| comments: I want to be like him when I grow up. Seriously, this is the kind of stuff I write, and I can only hope to be half as good as this guy someday. |
|
Will Self |
| comments: "The Quantity Theory of Insanity" is a short story collection. All very good. All EXTREMELY weird. Most of them are also funny. I highly recommend this guy to anyone who likes to read. |
|
Dave Barry |
| comments: I got the title of my diary from him. He thought it would be a good name for a rock band. |
