'Secret Diary'...
...one of the strongest examples in existence of a contradiction in terms.

I mean seriously, if you want to keep your thoughts private, keep them in your head. Anyone who physically writes them down then gets all indignant when someone scopes them out is an idiot, or more likely just deceiving themselves. It's my opinion that people do that kind of thing because they want thier thoughts to be known and just don't have the balls to voice them.

Now if you type your journal on a computer and keep it (securely) encrypted, that's more like it - not that I do, but if I did that would be the way for me. But a paper book secured at best by a lock you it that can open with the nail on your pinkie finger? Honestly, who do you think you're fooling?

I've had the opportunity to check out a journal or two here and there, but didn't take it - not really interested - enough of my own thoughts knocking about in my head, thanks very much. That said, there is some temptation lately in scoping the other half's emails and IM logs on account of an obscure suspicion that I've held for awhile and trust me, if I wanted to, I could - in minutes. Still not going to do it though - it's just not cricket. People tell me I'm too nice about this kind of thing :)
