WOW! Now that is a project. I've got 15 journals (one for each year from 1985 to 2000), but I don't think I'd ever try and transcribe them. They'll just go into my archives and some scholar down the road can handle it. Or not. Maybe they'll use them to light fires.
We'll see how long it'll last. For now, it's fun--and a bit creepy. The latest entry (age 11) is about my friends and me watching a woman getting beaten up and calling it a movie.
I can't even tell you how much fun this is for me to read! I have a trunk full of my old diaries, and they crack me up. No one else seems to get why I kept them.

i didn't think you needed to make your weirdness official, but i will make official that your diary project is wonderful.
