Diaries, (or Dairys for they 8 and younger crowd, or Journals for dudes, or Captains Logs if you are Kirk) are forms of written documentation so that one may access previous encounters with their life. Diaries are also forms to show how awesome life used to be, before you screwed it up by spending countless hours in front of the Television, or... you know.
Diaries are also the more primitive forms of blogs. In fact, this blog, and my very own diary have something in common: There are two current readers (besides my co-star, Medan), myself, and my sister.
Diaries are a place to put down innermost secrets that no one should know about. Blogs are a place to put innermost secrets that are allowed to be shared with the world.
In most cases, these written logs are important to understand the culture that the writers are in. Which means that most entires are about how awful life is, and how moody you are, and how nothing will ever be the same. Because now, life is rolling foreward at a constant rate. Time stops for no one.
Not even Chuck Norris.
But I will discuss his faults at a later time.
Diaries are perfect for the brooding, moody beatnik in all of us.
Even you.
