Well, in all honesty, mine "came from" me being a self-obsessed
tosspot douchebag, but I think a lot of people think theirs comes
from a need to be "creative" and tell the world all about your inner
thoughts. So, basically, the purpose is that of a bastardized diary,
as you put it in comparison format. Unfortunately, as with diaries,
99% of them are hideously uninteresting.
