So excited to be back on Open Diary! This place was always such a magical place for me to connect! I am far from the same person that I was before, so it will be interesting to restart this journey, to read back over entries from years past, and to fill in the gaps of time and begin anew! Diary Master, thank you for breathing new life into this haven for writers!

So excited to be back on Open Diary! This place was always such a magical place for so many to connect! I am far from the same person that I was before, so it will be interesting to restart this journey, to read back over my entries from years past (and maybe blush a little ... or…

  • Still alive and in Tikrit, Iraq
    October 4, 2011
     I love this diary, and yet I don't find enough in life anymore that makes me feel one way or the other about anything. I don't feel excited enough to break out the laptop and express myself online, and I don't feel depressed or pissed off enough. Or is this just the years taking their…

  • Reuniting with My Father After 15 Years
    November 26, 2009
    It has been a long time since I’ve needed to “escape” to the relatively safe environment of the Open Diary. As someone who primarily communicates better through the written word, I used to come here daily to express everything from my frustration at traffic woes to the way my ey...

  • Xochiquetzal is back after a 2-yr. hiatus
    April 28, 2009
    I’ve not posted to the Open Diary in nearly two years now. Recently, I bought an Amazon Kindle, downloaded all of my entries from 1998 forward, and have been basically re-experiencing the events and details of years from my past via reading during the daily commute.   I’m not sur...

  • I am still around, just on other blogs
    June 13, 2007
    To whomever is reading me, I am still around -- just too many blogs and so little time! I can be found at http://people.tribe.net/ecrivaine32/blog and http://thatswhatithink.net I cannot seem to boil down my interests to one narrow focus, so I end up coming up with disparate creative ideas from o...

  • The Maryland guy from eHarmony
    April 12, 2007
    I met a guy a few weeks ago on eHarmony, and I'm not saying anything yet, not defining, not trying to even breathe wrong about this "thing" between us being anything more than just hanging out. But I have to say it's going very well, and there is an amazing amount of intellectual, physi...

  • Fuckable?
    February 15, 2007
    A guy I know and have not slept with a few weeks ago told me that I'm very "fuckable." Now should I take that as a compliment or be offended?

  • Hi, I’m still here but on my Tribe site a lot
    December 6, 2006
    Hi, I'm definitely still around, but I vacillate between keeping my diary on Tribe.net at http://people.tribe.net/ecrivaine32 (I think it's also on my front page of the OD too.) and just staying extra tired and busy lately. I will try to migrate back over to the OD too when I can.  Please ca...

  • A most frustrating day in Greenbelt
    October 27, 2006
    I made the dumbest mistake today. I could kick myself over and over until I turn blue, I swear. I was trying to book a ticket using Orbitz to go home and see my boyfriend Doug from December 21 to 26. I was in such a hurry to book it before prices went up that…

  • Things other people notice about us
    October 27, 2006
    I had a coworker tell me the other day that he always sees me walking the halls but never says hello because I always walk with my head down. I said, "Really?" Funny, I never even noticed I do that. Interesting what other people notice about us that we don't really think about in our…
