As far as I can tell VMEMO is not what you want. Unless you are really
interested in voice memos (and that does not seem to be the case).

The VJOURNAL component of the iCalendar seems to fit the bill though. It
too follows the same kind of syntax rules as vcards. 

libical parses VJOURNAL's just fine.

VJOURNAL also gives you the ability to refer to other icalendar
components like todos and calendar events, which might be neat. But
isn't required if you don't want the added GUI complexity.
