New public journals

[topum]

Update: Please do not hesitate to mention your own journal, this is what this entry is for. Let's make it a bit easier for ourselves to find each other on LJ.

Can you recommend interesting new (or old) public journals on LJ? I guess we all know the old-timers in LJ's top 50 (no harm in repeating those again though maybe someone will still find it useful), but it is hard to find new journals here.

It can be your own journal (don't be shy) or just some journal (or a couple) you read or used to read. You don't need to be friends with the journal owner, like them or agree with them to recommend. The more journals we have thrown in to browse, the better. You can also recommend anonymously.

The journals must be currently alive and public (this is not a friending meme), which doesn't mean that all of the entries in them must be public, just that they have public entries appearing regularly.

You can say a couple of words about the journals but it is not a must since the journals can speak for themselves.

I'll keep this entry at the top of LJ's start page for a while to get more people to contribute but feel free to repost this as well.

Let's find some interesting new journals here.

I love this idea and hope it catches on and results in a loooooong list!

I have some nominations of interesting public journals:

zyzyly is a nurse who has a long history of journaling but, sadly, has picked up a habit of not been adding to his very often lately. I so hope this will change. His archives are a great read with lots of good photos to boot.

pink_halen's journal isn't fascinating until.... they go on a trip and, fortunately, they go on lots of great trips. Fabulous photos and neat little facts about things I've never ever seen anywhere else. I don't know where they are going next but I know the journal entries about it will be great.

ertai's journal is interesting but also gets a nice boost when he and his wife go on trips.

And finally, if you are looking for massive detail of daily life on one guy, machupicchu is your man. He has many years of detail and adds more every week. I don't think he even looks at any friends pages any more, just adds his own entries. So, no community but public and available for reading.

You forgot to pimp yourself. Yours is very public and updated often.

It would be redundant obviously since this entry is in it ).
Also, there will be little discovery in finding my own journal for me ).

Oh sorry, I saw your comment through my messages and wrongly assumed you were talking to me ).

True... thanks!

For me your journal is the gold standard for "public" and I enjoy it very much partly because of that.

[susandennis]

Thank you! That's so nice of you to say.

These are great, thanks. I read the first to every now and then, they are interesting indeed.
