Reg says diaries are for girls, but he doesn't know what he's talking about. First of all, girls can't write, everybody knows that (except Regulus, but what does he know?), and second, this isn't a diary. It's a journal. That's something totally different. A journal of my super-cool life--This is the very first sentence Sirius Black writes in his Diary/journal in his first year at Hogwarts. Other years will follow.

His father's in Azkaban, the Dark Lord has begun the final plans to destroy Harry Potter, he must secure his place in the pureblood politics and maintain his title as Prince of Slytherin, and prove himself worthy by his seventeenth birthday to claim the title of Voldemort's heir.
