Writing in a Diary Makes You Smarter

My mom and my grandmother are two of the most dedicated diary writers I know. For decades they have written a few sentences describing what they did for each day of the year. It's a tedious task, but the best part is that they can say, "I wonder what I was doing on this day in 1975," and actually find an answer!

Dear Poll: Has Anyone Ever Read Your Diary?

I'm a big proponent of journaling, but let's face it, keeping a diary was a lot easier as a teen, or pre-teen even, than it is now. When emotions run rampant or you simply need a way to clear your head, writing it all down in a diary can be great solace.

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Read a Friend's Diary?

Since so many of you admitted to snooping, I thought I'd take it one step further. In this crazy world we all live in, it seems that writing in a journal is one of the only times where we can be truly one with our feelings; to write out our deepest and darkest secrets and innermost thoughts.

Jennifer Connelly on Conan O'Brien

Will Conan quit with the damn diary already? Not too long ago, we saw him creep out Jessica Alba with it. He's now doing the same with Jennifer Connelly. If the contents of the man's diary aren't sacred, you think he cares that Jen is happily wed? Absolutely not, but he does care that her husband has one of those annoying British accents. Hallo, hallo, hallo! Read more

Conan 'O Brien's got a diary and he ain't afraid to go public with it. So what if it's Hello Kitty themed, chock full of self-affirmation and other ego-stroking remarks, and he can't spell well-- Jessica Alba will understand. Or will she? Read more
