So very awesome and inspiring. I feel like dragging out my own journal just now.

Awesome. I especially love the news and history stuff at the bottom. Along the same lines, but horribly twisted: Some Kid's Journal

I wonder what she would say about Englewood now? (ie. the most dangerous part of Chicago)

For diary-philes like me, here are two more: Papa's Diary Project — in which the grandson posts excerpts from the 1924 diary of his grandfather, a 29-year-old garment worker and Ukrainian immigrant living in New York. Diary of a Girl — Ultra-dramatic teenage girl's diary/scrapbook from 1969-1970 (link goes to a friend's site).

This is going to keep me entertained for hours. I'm actually a little jealous because Dot appears to be having a heck of a lot more fun than me at the moment. I wouldn't mind skipping school to bake cookies and seeing 6 movies a week and dating a different boy every weekend. It's funny how there's no mention of any parenting whatsoever (as far as I've gottenn anyway).
