Red - I have a journal cause i just like having a place to vent or talk about how I feel...and i have friends that i only get to see like once a month, so this gives them the chance to get some insight into my life...and if i haven't talked to someone in awhile or have something to say...then i can do it and it's all right there for ppl to read.
I dunno...i know my life isn't interesting in any way, shape, or form...but i like having a livejournal and giving ppl a chance to get to know me. I dunno, i can't explain it.
I'm sure a lot of ppl do it just to have some attention or to follow the trend or whatever....but ya know, LJ isn't completely evil
