In the end, we must cobble our own roads...

As I spent my first days around in an involuntary psych facility in White Center, I felt strangely calm over the whole experience at first.

A deal of a century. I'd actually want to head there this month, if I had the time. I'd visit the shrines during golden week (4 holidays in a row) or during the national ancestor day (interesting ceremonies). There are also tix available to head to London for $388 dollars.

So I'm throwing a question out there for the geniuses in the livejournal community. A friend of mine has been drinking Red Bull fairly regularly. But she's worried, if Red Bull (specifically the ingredient: Taurine or its precursor Glucuronolactone) has any addictive/negative side effects? Beides sprouting wings of course. If anyone has any ( Read more... )
