Hey! It seems only fair to mention that almost all of my posts in this journal are friends-locked. If you want to be added, comment or message me.

I Want You, But I Don't Need You, as covered by Amanda Palmer.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, I just really like the song and the sentiment.

The folks camped next to us at Pennsic kindly invited us to use their private shower set-up. It was housed in an enclosed plastic pavilion on a level grassy area to the rear of their encampment, right against the treeline.
