For fun! If I can make one person laugh every day, then my mission has been accomplished.

[carocrow.livejournal.com]

Well, because it's there, of course ;-)

[bia22.livejournal.com]

sometimes as a bounce board, sometimes as a vent, sometimes to record something that happened, sometimes for creative writing:)

It's fun, it's an outlet ... it's a world in and of itself and somehow it grew on me. Been writing there for so long, so much of my life lies documented there, I couldn't imagine not writing there.

It's a great diary and if anything would happen to me, a fabulous legacy for my son. To get to know me through my own written words, photo's, scribblings, to read the thoughts and emotions, the immense love and admiration I feel for him.

It's a good place to store the fun things, the not so fun things, the beautiful and touching memories and to see how I've changed over the years.

Not to mention it's a place to shamelessly flaunt my kid and do a little more with what I prepare in the kitchen than merely eating it :)

For fun, for meeting people from different countries, for practicing english, for getting things off of my chest...

[kingdavey.livejournal.com]

Because I'm an addict and to give me something to do with myself

[leatherdykeuk.livejournal.com]

Originally it was to communicate the happenings of my day to those who cared. Now I use it as a back up to keep poems and stories, and a method of obtaining critique.

[smwright.livejournal.com]

Second that. Because I write. Why else. ;)

[erva-doce.livejournal.com]

Personally in my journal I write all sorts of things. Some days it's just complete fluff and other days it's an awful outburts. I try to post something of substance everyday, though, that has nothing to do with everyday events.

[brenda-in-sepia.livejournal.com]

Because paper journals are sooo twentieth century.

[mattg.livejournal.com]

Mostly for the money.

[1jodie.livejournal.com]

at first it was a place for me to vent, to chronicle my life; now it's also become a place to interact with the wonderful people i've met via LJ.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

A few different reasons...
habit
a place to chornicle my thoughts and thoughts
venting/getting feelings out
get some creative juices flowing

Well, I tried to teach it telepathy so it could get its own damn information and write it up itself, but it seems the site has limitations on its intelligence. That makes it my obligation.

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

A myriad of reasons - it changes daily. Chronicling, venting, sharing, creating, and interacting.

[sirenity.livejournal.com]

Cause I feel like it. =)

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

i'm not really :p

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

I think my icon says it all :)

[msanborn.livejournal.com]

because I love the interaction with others,

and because I can't play WoW or masturbate ALL the time.

I write because I have to. I find it very hard to write these days. Before the accident I wrote all the time; I've completed National Novel Writing Month twice and wrote novels, short stories, ficlets, blurbs, and even the rare poem. Since the accident I write only here ... I can't find the thread of any of my stories in my head anymore. I keep trying but Lj is my strangle hold on some form of writing. I keep hoping my stories will come back.

I write to stay in touch. This is how I communicate with my friends, my family, and my other boyfriend who's still in DFW.

I write to remember where I've been, to remember my history. I write to tell others that it's not over, that life can go on. I spent three years being a punching bag for a small minded twit. I lived and walked away. I was abused in every way possibly ... but I do not give up. If I can help even one person decide that they too can walk away, I'm happy.

So that my friends know that I'm alive and still mentally functioning.

[shamrocks-13.livejournal.com]

Cause I have no where else to pour my heart out too. I need a release, I started my LJ just after Lexi was born. Before, my anger pent up and I ended up in jail over it.

[ziyda.livejournal.com]

Why do you write in your LJ?
When I do write, (that's been not as much recently) I find I communicate better.
I speak more easily, because I know better what I'm thinking, when I write.

[gillian16.livejournal.com]

Because it feels right. And when it doesn't, I'll stop.

[louenn.livejournal.com]

So I know I'm not alone.

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

To connect.

[kdawg.livejournal.com]

Basically just to amuse people! lol

Actually... sometimes there are things I need to get out of my head and LJ does that for me.

[uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com]

To chronicle my journey of life.

[castlelady.livejournal.com]

So I can show the world just how awesome I am :P

[evergladesqueen.livejournal.com]

because i have grown too lazy to pick up my real journal and write in it. because when i write in my book it just seems so personal. no-one on the other end letting me know how they feel, etc.
