     I do...but my journal is a mess. It's mostly filled with memes and my bitching about a house I am building. My mother read my diary when I was 11 (which had repurcussions^{[input transformation]}), so I have had trouble figuring out what to write about in my LJ.

   • 2006, "ShellyS", Set up LiveJournal community? (discussion on Internet newsgroup rec.arts.sf.composition)

     I have about a dozen blogs on Blogger. One is for fun, kind of personal. One is for blogging about blogging and about politics. Another is for book reviews, and one is for reviewing comic books. One is for me to do memes. I like keeping these things separate and I like playing with templates, so having so many let me play a lot.

4. (CSS3, slang) A thought, idea, joke, or concept that spreads online, often virally. Can be in the form of an image, a video, an email, an animation, or music.
