My three faves are Erm, Squishy and Plaintive Wail. They are all wonderfully written, and hilariuos. Erm reminds me of Bridget Jones, Pamie doesnt remind me of anyone but I love her sense of humour and her writing makes me want to meet her, and Stee reminds me SO MUCH of my little brother - I often send him links to Stee's entries. He's wonderful. Stee is. And my brother.

Some journals I just read because its something to do and I am mildly curious to developments in people's lives (for various reasons) and some I read because occassionally their writing is better than the topics they write about (for example, Perfect Way).

Each few weeks I find new journals to add to my 4 or 5 I read somewhat regularly - but its erm, pamie and stee I really look forward to reading each morning because I love their humour. And we can never have enough of that.
