Tell me an interesting fact about yourself and I will reply with an interesting fact about myself that I think of when I read yours. It may be entirely related, or only related in the weirdest, broadest definitions.

My diary currently has 283,574 words, going back to January 2003. That's not counting my dream journal (118,022 words, starting December 2009), nor the food log (October 2012; 121,466 words, most of them rather repetitive but including some notes on what I thought of new foods†), nor the parts of chat logs in which I tell other people about what's been going on with me (difficult to count).
The words are unevenly spread through time: I did a lot more journalling in my early teens than before or since. I would like to be [a person who journals a lot]--it feels like The Sort of Thing I Would Do in much the same way jogging does--but my archiving energy is currently being taken up by other things. I still fit in the occasional entry, and I hope to give it a greater focus once I've arranged my Wordpress just so (maybe six months? hard to predict).

†Also handy when you're not sure what to make: I sometimes "spin the Wheel of Dinner" by opening it to a random page and looking at what I had for dinner *then*.
