I'm serious.
I've just started a diary and I know it is a really girly thing to do but I want to be able to look back when I'm older and see what an idiot/god I was.
Trouble is, I don't really want my family or especially my friends to see it. There is simply too much material that could potentially be blackmail-fodder. :)
Where the hell can I hide it?
Hide it in my house. I will LOOK after it for you. :mwahaha:
Christmas I'm getting a bad vibe from your Location, customer user title and signature.
Sorry I don't think you are suitable to look after anything of mine which is pretty much full of love :)
Never judge a MEMBER by Location, customer user title and signature.
I am a very NICE and HONEST person.
I hide mine behind the toilet, Or If you want to go all secret agent cut a hole in your matress and make sure you cover it up with your sheets.
I hide mine right out in plane sight in my bookcase. Oh wait ... that's not hidden, is it?
But then, I don't have much in there I don't want people to read, and the little there is is written in my secret alphabet I made up a long time ago, so it's not readable anyway :P
I have an online journal. :p I could never do the pen & paper diary thing, because I have awful handwriting and my parents are horribly nosy.
I have an e-diary, because my sister kept finding/reading my old ones. It's a lot easier to keep track of too.
One of the reasons I'm writing a pen and paper is to try improve my handwriting, spelling and grammar and so on, which has declined thanks to the internets :)Quote:

I just keep mine in my dresser. I don't have brothers or sisters so there's not really a worry about someone coming into my room and finding it. And my parents aren't like that -- i don't think they're that nosy.
But i don't really write much in there anyway.
I keep mine on my night stand next to my bed. But, I don't write in it that much. I tried making one online, but I have AOL..and my parents can check where I go--so I didn't want them to read it and me all "WTF?" or w/e. So I use Word. And hide it in a special folder then put a lock code on it. :]
I've never kept a diary. I almost have a phobia of putting my thoughts onto paper in case some one finds it. I'm a bit paranoid.
I keep my diary in my purse. I'm sure it's not the BEST place for it, but at least I know where it is at all times.
I used to keep a diary, not anymore. It was an online journal, too. :jess:
I've never kept a diary. It'd be too boring. Except for the person who deciphers the secret code and uncovers the startling revelation/plot twist and fits all the pieces together.
It's far easier to leave a journal in plain sight than hide it. You never have to worry about a location being discovered, you never forget where it went, and the more you see it, the more likely you will remember to use it.
Plus, I find it easy to walk up and take a journal back if someone saw it and decided to browse through it. It is not their business and they should have better manners.

I used to have a written diary :3 It was very emo. It's sad because I watched the I Must be Emo video with Cloud in it and my diary had some of the same things in it ;-; I was 10-11, though xD Then one of my IRL friends found it, read it, and started making fun of me, and I got soo pissed at him. xD He ended up going emo that I wasn't talking to him and ran away and his parents had to send the cops to look for him, tehee. That's another story, though e_e
Ive tried in the past to do a handwritten diary but I get lazy and forget to update it; I don't post important stuff in my LJ as I can't be bothered. My parent's are awfully nosy so that dosn't help
Hide it under your bed or under your pillow.
I hide mine in a sketch book.
I hide it on the internet. I can't have a real diary, I'd re-read it and think how stupid I was and rip the pages out.
Im too cool for for a diary.
Seriously though, ive never understood why people bother with them. At high school, we had these homework diary things, but I never used mine. left it at home after I got it, and never used it.
Closest thing to a diary I have is my MSN Space, wich I update every two monhs or so if I can be bothered, and even then, its random [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] thats entirely uninteresting...
Besides, its common knowledge that your parents and siblings are going to desperatly try and find it and read it...keep it in your head..
Online journal? Cant others view that though...? If not, are you using like a special site dedicated to online journals?Quote:

Where's the best place to hide a tree?
A forest.
Where's the best place to hide a car?
Carpark.
I have no idea where my old diary is.
Oh right, sorry Shlup.
Just PM me your address and I'll mail it back to you.
Or I suppose I could just drive there now.
One is hiding in my sig, and the other is in my HUGE box of Pokemon stuff. ^_^
My thoughts exactly. xDQuote:

I keep a diary, I keep mine lying around, as no one would dare read it. Except last Christmas when I was away and my bedroom was raided by my mum's boyfriend's kids. I haven't seen either of them to beat them senseless for it though (yet).
I lost my old diary too XD It was ages like 10-13 when I stopped writing in it and now I wonder about some of the things I wrote and I want to read it and feel stupid, but I dunno where it is... :shifty:
i have several, larger journals, which are really more like a collection of drawings, poetry, and other miscellaneous things. while not quite a diary, they all share a common fact: being hidden under a close space next to my bed. read them, and weep...
In an underwater cave o_0
I keep mine in my pants.
Online Journal for me.
But if I did have a diary, I prolly would've been hiding it on my dirty laundry basket.
In my brain.
Closes thing to a diary I have is my LJ.
I don't have a diary. If I did, I would hide it somewhere in/under my bed.
I'd like to keep a diary... but, is there really a point? For the offline diary I have nothing interesting to write about and I'd have to limit it as there's a possibility of my parents finding it. For an online diary, nobody would read it so why bother?
I've never had a diary, simply because I wouldn't have enough interesting stuff to put into it on a daily basis. The only thing I know how to write about is funny stuff. If nothing funny happened, or something obscure enough for me to twist into something resembling hilarity, then I'd be stuck. So no diary hiding tips from me.
LiveJournal, among many other websites, allows for private entries, entries viewable to only those that you wish to see it (provided they also have an account) and public entries. A very large amount of EoFFers use LiveJournal - including myself. So that's where I 'hide' my diary, so to speak. Private LJ entries.Quote:

Currently it is hiding under my bed and since it has a black cover it is well hidden in the shadows.
Thanks for the suggestions, they are much more cost effective than my "hidden at the center of a labyrinth full of death-traps" idea. :D
Glue blank papers on the written pages in Gone With The Wind. They will never find it.
I have like 6 ancient diaries, each endowed with varying degrees of stupidity, puberty and naivety. They all suck and I cringe when reading over them. Sometimes phrases and thoughts from those diaries come to me in the middle of the night and I writhe.
I have tons of diaries -- and I don't really hide them. They're just scattered around my room, and everyone is too nice to read them. :) Someone once told me that only "sensitive people have diaries", so I guess I'm super-sensitive. I have like 2 running simultaneously. @_@
I have an LJ but that's a pretty pink cess-pool. :D
And HOW?
lol diarys... thoughts are better unwritten
But isn't it exactly the same thing with an LJ?Quote:

Mine sits in my drawer and gets written in about once every 2 months when I either find a new woman or get rid of an old woman. Other than that it serves no purpose. Nobody reads it 'cos nobody cares.
My vent doesn't work, so I pop the lid and hide things there. I don't use my diary for writing about myself really; I just end up drawing in the damned thing. ^____^ But I'd rather not have my parents prying into what's in it anyways.
Or you could put your diary in the most obvious place: between your mattresses. Or in your sock/underwear/whatever drawer.
I dont have a diary.
I use to hide mine underneath my matress, then my mum discovered it, read it and told everyone I had written about what I had said about them ...
I was horrified and people werent happy at her for invading my privacy, no matter what I had written.
I hide mine on the internet. If you find it you can read it.
