Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

My sister taught me to keep my journals lively and interesting by including photos, cartoons and other artwork I admire, recipies I mean to try someday, pithy sayings, etc. I also do some work on my novels in my journal. Truly a journal can be almost anything but most of all it should be fun.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

I watched CourtTV and CNN through the war in Afghanistan and kept careful notes on what was going on. Who knows? My journal may be "prime historical material" one day!
