Being part of community diaries makes me feel connected to so many people. BoB was the first community diary I ever joined, and it was such a great feeling to have all the welcome messages, all the amazing people that I got to know, Reading people's diaries makes you feel as if you know them intimately, and I think being part of a community diary strengthens that bond you have with them. It's different from a face-to-face friendship, but no better or worse. I always want more connections with people in my life, and I dearly love all the people I've met through diaries.

I want BoB to grow closer, back to how it seemed to me when I first joined. It is somewhat like a secret club - I used to love making up clubs when I was little. I want to know everyone better, and in that vein I'll devote more time to signing guestbooks and that sort of thing.
