Writer's Block: Controversial Interrogation Techniques
Torture, threatening the person being interrogated with the loss of people they love, and/or any physical injury are all going too far. If at all possible, it would be better to get the information from covert methods, instead of by directly questioning the alleged terrorists, but I admit that is not always feasible. So, when it's not feasible, ( Read more... ) -
Meme--from hailerro's LJ
1. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator? Depends. Do I have all the stuff I usually take with me to work? If so, I'd 1) call someone to get me out, then 2) read until they got there.
2. What talent do you wish you had? I don't know.
3. Favorite place? Anywhere I can read comfortably and in peace.
4. Favorite vegetable? Green beans.
5. ( Read more... ) -
Does anybody know . . .
Does anybody know what site I used to create this icon? I remember I found it either on another LJ from one of my friends back in 2003, or one of my other online friends gave me a link to the site. Now, I'm trying to find the site again so I can create more icons, but I can't remember the site. And the entry after I created this one (from 12/11/ ( Read more... ) -
For all those who don't know . . .
I recently (February 1) moved out of my parents' house. At that time, I also started a blog (http://dsdragon.blogspot.com). I've been posting on there instead of here, because I just like Blogspot better--despite the fact that I constantly have to check to make sure my friends have updated, and I can't reply directly to comments there. I don't ( Read more... ) -
Let's get a move on!
The hard drive is well and truly dead. But that’s okay-I’ve figured out how to either recover the data from other places, or re-create it somewhere else.
There’s a 50-book challenge going on in the off-topic section of the L&C Fanfic Message Boards. The basic gist is that each person should read at least 50 books in the year 2007. One of the ladies ( Read more... ) -
EEEEK! MY DATA!
Christmas was pretty good. At the PublishAmerica company Christmas party, there was food from Carabbas-a great local Italian restaurant-and a bunch of us sang karaoke. The company Christmas present last year was a PublishAmerica mug. This year, we each got a 4GB Ipod Nano!
Because I’d gotten the Nano, I decided to give Kimba my iriver MP3 player. ( Read more... ) -
Venting, and an Update
A lot’s happened in the last few months, but before I get to that, I want to vent about a couple things that have been irking me lately. Sort of like a "save the best for last"-type thing.
The first thing happened on the 9th. I had been running myself ragged for weeks, so I decided to give myself a few hours to actually wake up mentally (physically ( Read more... ) -
"Deep" Thoughts
As I was laying in bed, getting in the zone for sleep, my thoughts started to go off on this weird tangent. I probably could’ve gotten to sleep without writing it down, but I didn’t want to forget it, so even though it’s past 1:15 am and I’ve got to work in the morning, here I am.
Anyway, I’d just finished-around 8 pm, I mean-reading the second-to- ( Read more... ) -
Same Day - Lunchtime
It’s just not my day, I guess.
After I finished typing my last entry on the computer, it was about 6:50. I tried to sleep some, but around 7:15 I realized that, as exhausted as I was, it was still going to take more than 40 minutes to get to sleep.
So, I got up again.
I finished getting ready for work (gathered purse, lunch, journal-for lack of new ( Read more... ) -
Ramblings of an Insomniac
It’s 5:30 in the morning, and I can’t sleep. I’ve been trying since about midnight. Around three, I got up to go to the bathroom, but I’ve just been lying there with my eyes closed, and my brain won’t stop. Every time I think I may be drifting off, I realize my position is rather tightly curled, and I move to stretch out, and end up waking right ( Read more... )
