[font face="Trebuchet MS" color="#FF0000]About your diary
Why did you start writing your diary online?
I started the diary over 2 years ago as a way to let the "special" people in my life know what was going on...then, it became a "venting box" where I spoke about all the things that you just don't get out in a normal "verbal" day.
Do you communicate with readers of your diary?
Yes...now I do. I run a vistor feedback area where I showcase some of the letters that people write me. You get some weird stuff, man. I also give away stickers, so I get lots of requests for those.
How much email feedback to you recieve from your diary? Is it mainly positive or negative?
Mostly positive, but that's cause I think peeps tend to tell you what they think you wanna hear. Sometimes I get people bashing my beliefs and verbal statements. Sometimes, I get weirdos and gays looking for dates. And then sometimes, I meet really cool people. Like my friend and roomate Thomas. He saw my diary URL pasted on my truck and he went, and we met....And we have a lot of the some hobbies, so we became friends. He actually works at the agency with me now.
Have you met any new friends because of the diary?
Yes. I have also made some great tech contacts, where we include each other on our ICQ or IM lists and throughout the day, we help eachother on various projects.
Has your motivation changed over time?
Actually yes. I get MORE motivated all the time. The more I write and the bigger the diary gets, the better I feel.
How has the diary changed your life?
Do your friends and family know you keep this journal/read it?
Yes....friends and family visit often.
Has your diary ever gotten you in trouble? If so, how? Scenerio: If you were wronged by a person that you know reads your diary, would you bash them anyway? What about family? What about co-workers?
Yes. In fact, if someone knows I'm pissed at them, they will run to the diary to see if I have dogged 'em in anyway. Before my girlfriend, some of the other girls knew that after a breakup, it'd be on the site.
If you had to do it over again from the beginning, what would you change?
Hmmm. The style of layout. I would do it more data-driven...But, that would limit the creativity alot. I dunno....maybe nothing actually.
Do you have any favorite entries?
What do you look for in an online journal, as a reader?
Substance. Truth. Wide-openess.
Do you use your real name in your diary?
Yes.
Do you censor yourself in your diary?
No no no. Never.
Do you ever use fiction techniques such
as imaginary dialogue?
Nope. Just empty my mind semantically.
