bummer, i thought these journals would contain our innermost thoughts
and feelings. but they can't unless i sneakily post them in threads which are most likely going to be completely unrelated to my girly musings. i guess i should forget doing little thumnail sketches in the margins and listing all the boys i've kissed, huh?
i guess it's for the best. if i don't have a journal, i can't come home and find my roomate passed out drunk while reading it.

5. i lurve you too baby!
well, maybe i could use that in the journal. LOL.
i wanted to post to a few journals but couldn't because they had posted locked threads. even if they weren't locked, it doesn't feel like your posting IN the journal, you know? i wanna sign people's yearbooks! i wanna sketch the cute boy in the next row. ;)
i'm just trying to figure out how to make it more personal, you know?

:loveya:

...just not on the DU journals :P

seriously though, if you go to edit your journals, you can edit the "moduals" (where the blogcall is, the latest/greatest threads, etc). you can just write to that or add pics and stuff, but you cant respond

:hug:

4. Exactly
It seems more like a 'Trophy Wall' than a journal to me.

11. I understand what you're saying, bettyellen, but I'd hate to moderate
DU journals if they were as open as I personally would like for them to be. Can you imagine the freep-fest that could become?

18. i thought we could have a lock and key... and they'd get stolen
and lounge rascals would post the embarrassing stuff. ok, so it's all a flashback....
obviously i have the acid.

14. if you want to conjure some innermost thoughts...
you need a loll around on on a pink bed and stare at your cuticles until they are blurry... out of this an image of your true love, or the best shoes to wear to the party will emerge. it's kinda like the magic eightball, only it's your head.

21. Just a suggestion.
Start a thread called "bettyellen's musings" in a little-read DU forum, and just keep replying to your own thread (either daily, or as often as you like). That ought to accomplish your goal, no?

25. Hey, BE
Yeah, seems to me that you should be able to both link threads and post your own musings in them. Ah well, they're still a cool way to read collections of people's posts.

You coming up to Boston on Saturday? Puh-leeze? :loveya: :bounce:
