Sort of... and I get paid to do it.

It's called www.calimacil.com/blog XD.

And reona, before you start tossing around challenges like "out-dork this", please remember what I do for a living <3. Or for that matter what Aaron does...

"Ok we can attack... but if we miss, we'll hit the villagers."
"I'm willing to take that chance!"

Things I am no longer allowed to do in an RPG :
31. The backup trap handler is not whoever has the most HP at the time.
73. Not allowed to name my cudgel Ceremonial Whoopass Stick.
74. My thief's battle cry is not "Run And Live"

Sure, it also doubles as my spell and recipe reference book when I read from the back.

I don't get to update it as often as I'd like, but it's always fun to get some of those thoughts down and wait for someone to happen across it one day.  :D

2 out of the 4 characters I've played at KR would be in serious trouble if their diaries were ever found, so they didn't keep one.  The one who did, did so because it was tradition for his people, and he took it with him when he left.

I recall a far away time when a certain journal was found under someone's pillow and lead to a lot of uncomfortable questions as to why they had so many drawings of people being slaughtered...just after said person said he had reformed his ways and had decided to repent.

No, this was not my own writing. 

The only thing I really remember with any clarity is a crude drawing of Orias Wormwood driving a sword through Elawyn. 
Underneath the caption read simply..."Weak Enemy."

...classic.

I do. Not only does it seem appropriate for the character, but I've kept a journal for another character of mine and it was really interesting to find the journal 3 years after I thought I'd lost it and read all the old thoughts. It's neat to see how a character can change over time, in ways you never really plan. I highly recommend keeping one - even if your character wouldn't. Keep your character's IG thoughts on your computer or something (treat it as fiction if you feel weird keeping a journal that doesn't exist IG). You won't regret it :)

I totally remember that and the questioning - So bloody hilarious. As a note, the caption was pretty accurate - Elawyn's level must have been in the single digits at the time and she had the old terrible Druid spell list.

One would think with as philosophical and religious as Kwildar is, that he might keep a diary.  However, as anyone who has received an in-game letter from him may tell you, his writing clarity is... Poor at best.  He keeps his religious notes and sermons in a small book, however, it really is not much more than that.

Kwildar has an odd aversion to writing, despite it being one of the few things he truly knew how to do before coming to Travance.  (That's likely the big reason for it, really)

Haha, I had a journal I kept as Evangeline a million years ago - I made the book myself.

It was mostly retarded Evangline prattle about whatever was going on at an event, and 'Sleafus' surrounded by some hearts.

... I kinda wonder what ever happened to it.

Hey Cody,

Orc Berserker here, and while he doesn't keep a journal, that hasn't stopped him from persuits of the mind.

hey Tom,

It's nice to see another berserker god it's hard to find a few. I don't know very much about how to exactly be a berserker yet and there aren't a lot of tips for it. Is there some stuff i'm missing? All I know right now is that I don't have to be a mean person to people it's just when I get ticked off I get a lot more mad then most others.

Any Marshal can delete this if I cross a line.

There are a number of berserkers that have or are in game that act differently. Some are not the crazy, angry definition of the class, but all can thanks in part to the Berserker Rage skill. Some are just fighters who prefer strength and big weapons. Some prefer the savage style of combat more. Berserker is what you make of it, but limited to the skills. There is getting another class, but anyway,

Nikolai's isn't so much a diary as it is a way to remember very important things... like not to wander into the woods alone at night... which he still sometimes forgets.
