Well, personally I don't like the fact of the day thing, especially since it can be quite long and in my opinion journals should be personal. On occasion, the Facts are interesting, but to be honest, I would much rather read *your* writing than read trivia.
When I go to read your journal it gets tiresome scanning past it all the time and often i miss things because of it.
Also, very often, your actual personal entry is much much smaller than the fact of the day so by posting large paragraphs of text and then posting a 4-line entry beneath it... well you see what happens.
I also don't like the multitude of memes, even though they're usually really cool.
;-p well you did ask, and its not so much about you being full of trivia so much as you spamming your own journal with trivia instead of spending the time writing about yourself, which as I recall was the whole point of the thing. Especially if you're wondering aloud why people are not reading your blog anymore.
For example, I do not spam my journal with every cute penguin picture I see, nor do I link to my daily Calvin and Hobbes, even though I <3 those things.
As for memes, is a journal supposed to be a reflection of what you do on the internet to "kill time"? Or rather, should you be spending said time you want to kill doing something more reflective?

Memes are what I do to kill time, that's why they're there. I usually cut them, unless they're awesome...
Yah. Whatever. *shrugs*
