    I don't have that desire, mostly because I never write about flaming goats, but also because of the serendipity of manually searching through my journals. Its fun and always leads me to discover something I've forgotten about. It is a time-suck though. I'll end up spending hours nostalgically looking through old journals in search of "that one poem I wrote one night after the bar..."

Which is fine and even desirable for writing/creative endeavours! Suggests that it might be a good idea to have different systems for this vs. what insomniasexx describes (i.e. task management/project tracking) vs. "journalling" i.e. writing down thoughts on stuff or reactions to events.

    But I've yet to write a song about "flaming goats," maybe it's time I do!

I realise this is probably a subconscious result of a QDB entry I read some time ago, that's stuck with me.

    The internet is a beautiful place.... "Because no matter what kind of twisted freak you are, you've got a friend out there :D You could ask the internet "Find people who have sex with goats on fire." And internet will ask you, "What kind of goats?"

-Funny.
