OpenDiary Survey Wednesday, September 06, 2006
What does your online diary name mean, and why did you pick it? "Never again i vetem" I picked it because "i vetem" means alone. My first diary name was "i vetem" and I deleted it because my ex boyfriend found it. Then I decided I didn't care and started up a new one so I could be "Never again alone."
When did you first get an only diary? 1999
Why did you first start an only diary? I was on www.bored.com and saw a link. I thought it'd be a great way to get my feelings out.
How did you find OpenDiary.com? www.bored.com
When writing an entry, do you believe you are writing for you or the reader? I would like to believe I write for myself, and in most cases it's the truth. However, I have found myself writing to the reader too.
When writing an entry, are you completely honest? Most of the time yes. I have purposely left things out though. I think that relates back to question 5. I leave things out because I am writing for the reader.
Describe your writing setting: Normally I am by myself, in my room. I like to write with music on, which is normally slow and peaceful music.
Is anyone that you know (in real life) allowed to read your diary? Yes, my dear Friend, Chad. He logs on as "how to ride a bus." There are some other's too, but they don't normally keep up with it.
Do you know anyone in real life with a diary, which you are allowed to read? No, I can't say that I do. A long time ago a friend, Demonofset, had one, but I lost track of him.
Has anyone found your diary that you really didn’t want to find it? Yes, my ex boyfriend.
Do you believe writing in your online diary is therapeutic? Yes, very.
How many entries do you have? Not, sure over 200 I am sure.
Do you have any entries that are private? Yes.
If you answered yes to that, (with out getting too personal), why don’t you want people to see them? Because some things are better left unsaid.
How many favorites do you have? Just enough.
Have you met any of them in real life? No, but I think it'd be very intersting to meet them. However, it would also take some of the secrecy out of the whole "diary" thing.
Do you know who your first favorite was? No, but I think Lastinline is the one I have had the longest. If you count before we had our little "disagreement." Have you ever written an entry while too intoxicated? Yes. Did you delete it the next day? I don't think so. Maybe I made it private? Do you feel accepted by the diary community? Yes. Have you secretly fell in love (or had a crush on) someone just by his or her writing? Yeah Have you ever read an entry that really moved you? What was it about? Dannks love. It was a really open and honest entry about what a diariest was looking for in love. Has anyone written an entry that made you cry? What was it about? I think so, but can't remember right now. What are your favorite kinds of entries to read? Funny entries. After writing an entry, how long do you wait to see if you have notes? (blushes) Sometimes only a few minutes. If you don’t have notes, do you feel let down? Occasionally. How many notes do you usually get? Enough Did you know the more notes you leave, the more notes you get? Yes. Do you delete mean or nasty notes? Nope. Have you ever left a nasty note and not signed your name? No, but I got someone's diary deleted once for publishing young girl's phone numbers. Have you ever left a note on a person’s diary, just to make them feel better? Yeah Do you keep a paper copy of your online diary? Yes. Do you go back and re-read your past entries? Yes. Do you ever hope that some day, when you are gone from this earth, someone discovers your diary? I believe most people hope that. I think it's part of having a diary. Yes, it's nice to get feelings out, but it's always fun to imagine someone discovering your diary and being fascinated by it. What's the most interesting thing you can think of about Opendiary? I find it fascinating how open and honest people can be on here. I can't get over how incredibly talented some of the writers are. It truly is a wonderful place to be. Lastly, how hard would it be to give up your online diary? On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the hardest) I would say a 10. I love my online diary.

you are right..when you meet other diarists it takes a lot out of it. you stop noting so much and just call or whatever. its like you know them more and they tend to know the stuff that you write before you write it. [muted exposure] 9/6/2006 8:19:04 AM
LastInLine is one of my longest favorites, too. Not literally my longest favorite as I'm sure he's of about average height for a man but his diary.. has... you know what I mean. Anyhow, I met him about two months after I started my diary [ephemera] 9/6/2006 9:37:18 AM
As a matter of fact, I believe he's the reason you and I met. [ephemera] 9/6/2006 9:37:44 AM

RYN: I'm glad you like my stuff, quite flattering indeed. I guess my style of writing does come very naturally, I've never really had a hard time producing it. I think my secret is to not think too hard, and just let it flow out of me. I have taken many an english class in my time, though I am not an english major. My concentrations are Anthropology, and Political Science. Thanks again. [Gooberdork] 9/6/2006 11:27:33 AM

re: I'm not positive but I would imagine that you wouldn't need the Nightlife disk if you are going to put another Expansion pack on your computer. I think you would only need it if you want to play the Nightlife features. Is that what you meant or am I confused? If I'm confused then let us blame it on this crappy allergy medication that has made me jittery and stupid but alleviated none of my allergy symptoms. [ephemera]
