Is it girly for a man to keep a diary?

Denerick

I've been considering starting a diary. My only concern is if my mates found it and thought I was a big girl (Or even worse, a GAY!!!)

So is it?

Dr.Silly

such a blouse

brianthebard

Its called a blog these days.

jd007

You has teh ghey. :pac:

stovelid

No.

What else would he write Gigigidy in whenever somebody mentions teenage girls in AH?

kfallon

It's not girly at all............



























































............ it's gay :eek:

RobbieTheRobber

For someone in my profession it would be called a book of evidence.

Burn the eveidence OP, burn it now!

Forget a diary and move with the times by getting a blog.

Imagine Anne Frank with a blog instead of a diary...........

I'm crusty when it comes to these things. I believe a diary should be personal. Far too many idiots write blogs about their internet assembled musings about God, politics, and women. I don't want to be another statistic!

It depends...
When signing your name, do you dot the "i" with a little smiley face?

bellylint

no it aint. do what you wanna do. if you are worried about mates finding it, you possibly could use a pc , and take measures to secure the file(s)

Not quite the same though is it, since a diary isn't promoted and pushed in the way a blog is.

"Today I cycled my bike around the village, observing the placid sunlight and feeling an enormous sense of self-worth. Then I went home and played some vinyl".

Cúnts of the highest. And take twitter with yis.

Why do you have feelings or something? :rolleyes:

Do people still keep diaries these days??

kfallon

If you think you're gonna be (in)famous then do it, they might be worth a few quid in years to come.

On a sidenote, you don't own a gun do you???

Men call them Journals!

Start it with 'Stardate' or 'Captain's log' and you'll be grand.

There should be rules attached to men keeping a diary.

1. Detail any sandwiches eaten that day.
2. How many nice boobs and bums did you see?
3. Reasons why (insert rock band of your favour here) ROCK.
4. Reasons why (insert sci fi tv show of your favour here) is better than (some other sci fi tv show).
5. Include possible plans for world domination.
6. Never discuss how you're "feeling"

Feel free to add to this people as it's only a basic draft, but it may be helpful to the OP.

starbelgrade

Yeah, sure OP - keep a diary if that's what you want. Don't listen to people trying to knock you for it.

Just make sure that nobody sees it, so hide it well under your teddy bear collection, between your back issues of The Bunty.

Michael Palin keeps one and he's not gay

A man should only keep a diary when going to war or on a long journey or voyage into the unknown.

End of.

Ah, but is not your average day in Dublin a war against our inequitable society, and every time you set foot from your door a voyage to the unknown?

Sounds like there are some risky stakes here.

I generally only keep a diary when I'm on holidays, and even then I'm terrified of anyone reading it.

I don't think I could keep one day-to-day. Got up, went to work, hate everyone, came home, ate dinner, went to bed. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V

Day 1 of my Diary. My name is John. I am 27 years old & work in I.T. Today was a great day. I had a cheese sandwich for lunch. I love cheese. Tomorrow I might have ham.

07 July 2010

I woke up this morning with a strange feeling. I was questioning my sexuality. I am usure if this diary is a manly thing to do. Could I catch the ghey? I decided to stop writing in glittery pen, just in case. My sandwiches were OK today - it was warm in the office, so the butter melted, which I don't like.

08 July 2010

Things are getting really weird. I wore a pair of my sisters knickers to work today. The string at the back kept sticking in the crack of my arse. I didn't take it out. I was enjoying it in a strange way. Maybe I am gay. I don't know. I've decided to get help. Had cheese for lunch. I really love cheese.

09 July 2010

Posted on Boards today about my diary. People are so cruel. No-one understands me. Mummy says it's because I'm "special", but I know what she really means. She also thinks I'm gay.. I don't know what to do anymore. Even cheese cannot comfort me today.

_JOE_

Go ahead mate...much more accessible and easier to write on the go! I do also use one of those diary apps for the iphone, but that's mainly for reminders, books to read, etc...

billymitchell

Just get on twitter, same difference TBH!!

ectoraige

So long as you only write in it while taking a dump you should be all right.

If it's a stalking diary then it's ok.

_MadRa_

If you really need to do the diary thing, you need to balance it out..Beat up at least one geezer a day...perhaps get a job as a puppy strangler...
Or Hide it in the Closet with all the other stuff you dont want out

Diary = bum city.









sandwiches rule

kind agree, esp in the case of M Palin ^^^



If your life is ever going to be made into a film then a diary is a must.

Mr Pepys had a surprising number of affairs for someone in 17th Century Puritan England, then again in those days women on the breadline could easily starve to death so it/s was relatively easy to convince them to do stuff.

If anyone has any doubt on this consider The Italian city of Naples in 1943
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mrvbm

One third of women became prostitutes as Naples became a kind of Sodom and Gomorrah

Be very thankful it's only a recession.

xxchloexx

Dont know what I would say if my boyfriend told me he kept a diary tbh , It isn't the most manly thing to do , but sure whatever floats your boat , Instead of keeping a diary you should just use your computer if you are worried about your friends finding it and making fun of you.

OP you should keep a diary, after all things will get tough for you when it gets out and you'll need something to cry into.

OP don't listen to them, I have had a diary since I was 14 years old and my boyfriend says it isn't gay

Mac Masters

A diary is only as manly as it's entries!

Would you end a passage with I went home early and went straight to bed or with I couldn't decide so I just did them both?
