Dear Poll: Has Anyone Ever Read Your Diary?

DearSugar — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 06:00:00 -0800

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. A journal will always be an incredibly private possession, so if it were to get into the wrong person's hands, trouble and embarrassment could easily ensue. I think we all know better now, but ladies, tell me, has anyone ever read your diary before?

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

DearSugar — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:00:00 -0700

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. It should go without saying that someones journal or diary is a very private, sacred possession yet so many people jump at the opportunity to turn the pages of someone else's sentiments. I understand that certain desperate situations call for that invasion of privacy, but tell me, have you ever read a friend's diary out of mere curiosity?

Conan Writes Off Jennifer Connelly

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!

Found! Diary of an Ex-Teeny Bopper

Forget Fast Times at Ridgemont High. These are Philosophical Times in Junior High. (Although my feeble mind is straining to understand the connection between "pop culture" and the making/breaking of friendships...those crazy tweens.)

Conan Writes Off Jessica Alba

GiggleSugar — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 09:00:00 -0700

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?

Cat Diary Entry:

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow --but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.

The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously stupid.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now . . .

Diary Of A Bully Victim...Continued

GiggleSugar — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 00:07:00 -0800

Sure, I believe the children are our future. If we teach them well and let them lead the way, we can show them all the beauty they possess inside...but, let's be honest, I've been having doubts lately. Why?

Exhibit A: Billy's video diary
Exhibit B: This demented picture...created with crayons, mind you.

These kids are beginning to freak me out, ya'll. No joke.

Did You Read The Diary of Anne Frank?

TresSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:24:38 -0700

The Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam announced that it is going to permanently display Anne Frank’s diary and writings to commemorate what would have been her 80th birthday today. (They hope to get everything up by November 1.)

It’s almost a tween rite of passage to read The Diary of Anne Frank. I remember getting so attached to Anne, who wrote so honestly about her love for her father, her conflicts with her mother, and her budding crush on the only boy around in "The Secret Annex" - Peter. ("The Secret Annex" was the hidden room in her father’s office building in Amsterdam where her family hid during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.) You read her writing with the impossible wish that she will grow up to live the adult life she so passionately anticipates in her diary.

"I want to go on living even after my death," Anne wrote in her diary. Although she died of typhus at 15 at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, The Diary of Anne Frank made her wish come true.

Did you read The Diary of Anne Frank? What did you like best about it?

Three's a Crowd: Is the Vampire Diaries Ad Too Suggestive?

TresSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:00:06 -0700

For a network known for teen-centric shows, the CW raises more than a few eyebrows with its decidedly adult ads. Last year, it was the OMFG Gossip Girl ads, and now there's hubbub over its campaign for The Vampire Diaries, a teen vampire drama that debuts Sept. 10.

Specifically, the above ad - with the strategically placed boys (let me guess, one's a vampire, the other's not?!) - suggests a ménage à trois. Love does suck! Has the CW gone too far, or is this just the blood a new show needs?
