!!!!!!FOR MY FAVORITES!!!!!!

go back one and read my entry about the upcoming weeks.

!!!!!!THAT IS ALL!!!!!!

and now… a wonderfully stolen survey from temmahkrik!

!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!!

1) What does your online diary name mean, and why did you pick it? um… which title, Silverstorm19 or Comte de la Fère?  how about both?

Silverstorm19 – i picked this name because when i started this diary (the first time) i was avoiding the name everyone else knew me by (also my first online name) Tom_bombadil19.  i’ve had that name since i was 16.  OH….. MY…… GOD….. that was 10 years ago… *suffers mild heart attack*

Comte de la Fère – um, my friends in college used to call me the father (not like the don…).  i was the oldest of the group and… well, to be honest i should have been called the mother, but father fit the gender better.  so when my friends and i were talking about which of the three musketeers each of us would be, i was first given porthos (big and bulky), but then switched to Athos (who was a very fatherly figure in the books to D’Artagnan) whose real name was *insert trumpets blaring*… bingo.

2) Why did you pick it? did i just answer this one?

3) Why did you first start an online diary? um, the first time cause i was bored.  then i had my first serious relationship and it was deleted.  the second time i came back because it was suggested to me by my *coughpsychologistcough* as a way to stop thinking about things by writting them down.  no idea if it worked.  the other reason was because i missed the online-friendships i had from OD.

4) How did you find OpenDiary.com? you know, i don’t remember.  it was right after the site was created, i remember that.  ’98 or something like that?  can’t remember.  i think my best friend started a diary and suggested i do the same.  he stopped writing in his immediately of course, but i think to this day he is the ONLY real life friend i have that reads this, and i’d like to keep it that way.

5) When writing an entry, do you believe you are writing for you or the reader? usually for me, but i have odd entries where i am trying to please people, or impress them.  usually backfires.

6) When writing an entry, are you completely honest? yes.  however, every once in awhile i exaggerate to make a point.  i usually point it out though.

7) Describe your writing setting. um… huh?  at a computer desk in my bedroom next to my bed and surrounded by boxes?  is that what you mean?

8) Is anyone that you know (in real life) allowed to read your diary? a few people know about it, but rarely can they remember the name (see, it worked).

9) Do you know anyone in real life with a diary? Are you allowed to read it? no…

10) Has anyone found your diary that you really didn’t want to find it? yes… a love of my life saw me writing an entry once.  she then went and searched for the diary on this site.  needless to say she found out some things…

11) Do you believe writing in your online diary is therapeutic? yeah, its a way to let some steam out.

12) How many public entries do you have? i think all but maybe 10 are public.

13) Do you have any entries that are private? How many? 2 i believe.

14) If you answered yes to that, (with out getting too personal), why don’t you want people to see them? usually it was a very difficult emotional state.  embaressed i guess.

15) How many favorites do you have? i can’t even remember.  its over 30

16) Do you know who your first favorite was? um, yes.  oh, what was her name……  i kind of liked her too…

17) Have you ever written an entry while too intoxicated? no

18) Do you feel accepted by the diary community? um, yeah i guess so.

19) Have you secretly fallen in love (or had a crush on) a diarist? a few times now

20) Have you ever read an entry that really moved you? yes

21) Has anyone written an entry that made you cry? yes

22) What are your favorite kinds of entries to read? *shrugs*

23) After writing an entry, how long do you wait to see if you have notes? um… usually i don’t worry about it until the next time i get OD to write, or read other people.  if i have notes, great!

24) If you don’t have notes, do you feel let down? no

25) How many notes do you usually get? *shrugs* i don’t really count them.

26) Did you know the more notes you leave, the more notes you get? usually.  i love randomly noting people.

27) Do you delete mean or nasty notes?</

span> i’m not sure i’ve ever had one…

28) Have you ever left a nasty note and not signed your name? nope.  i ALWAYS sign

29) Have you ever left a note on a person’s diary, just to make them feel better? yes, i hope it worked.

30) Do you keep a paper copy of your online diary? no, i probably should. 

31) Do you go back and re-read your past entries? yeah… but i usually get depressed.  lol

32) What’s the most interesting thing you can think of about Opendiary?  i don’t know.  the relationships people can build through this.  i think (within reason) that this form of communication is one of the simplest because you can be yourself (at least, i hope you can).

– noah

p.s. i just saved it and read it over real quick.  i love how there is one red question.  no idea how that happened.  (of course, not that i’ve written this it won’t appear…)
