As one of my pals in a previous entry mentioned, there was a second LJ archive utility that was recommended, and in order to give you the full breadth of the utilities, I provide you with a review of that one. That one so happens to be LJ-SEC. (I completely missed this in my Google search for such devices, and LJ is rather reluctant to list this ( Read more... )

WARNING: If this LJ posting makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, there is a really good reason. As I type this message, I am listening to the 62-hour-long MIDI of my entire LiveJournal contents. And honestly... I cannot take this seriously. At all. XDFor those of you concerned about LJ and its relative longevity, I promised some friends that ( Read more... )

For all of you-ins at the party last night who want to know the recipe I followed, here it is:

SEVEN-LAYER COOKIES

Things you need:- 13"x9"x2" glass pan (don't know if it'll work with metal or the like ( Read more... )

While I was home for the holidays this past week, I found myself alongside some of my best friends in a bookstore. The bookstore is a particularly dangerous place for me because I always tend to find something that my deep, inner workings crave to devour, this despite the fact that I have a stack of books that are still unread, books that remain ( Read more... )

Tonight, after baking brownies, I enjoyed a guilty little pleasure as I cleaned up after my culinary exploits. I turned out all the lights in my apartment except for the small night light in my kitchen and the green glow from my microwave's clock in order to light a single vanilla-scented candle. And with (practically) the light of a single ( Read more... )

To all of you who saw yesterday's post and commented, thank you. Hearing perspectives both like and unlike mine certainly aided the process in comprehending what I could not fathom. While I may not agree with every point made, I believe that to understand the opposite perspective is at least half the battle, and you made that possible. Thank you

First thing's first -- If you've recently seen a "de-friending E-mail" or what have you, really, don't get offended or anything. For me, my primary use of LiveJournal is keeping track of the lives of those individuals who are really close to me. And, after a while, sometimes I just stop reading individuals' journals. It's nothing personal really ( Read more... )

I hope that, one day, everyone will find a few minutes out of the day to sit down by themselves, alone, and allow themselves to be intellectually honest to themselves. I hope that, in that moment, people would find the courage and audacity to admit, ever so quietly, that they don't know all the answers in the world, that there are many questions ( Read more... )

So I haven't updated my journal in a while. Okay, it's been a long while. It's not been the fact that I haven't had anything to say. Several good prompts have come and went, never to be written about. Yet nevertheless, one of the things I realised is that I no longer depend upon writing quite so much as I used to. It's not that I don't ( Read more... )

A few weeks ago, a few of my friends went out with the intent to roll 12-pound balls down some oil-slick lanes in hopes of knocking down pins. That didn't happen. Apparently bowling has become the in thing with the younger generation once again, and every possible lane was already filled up. (When did that happen? We could always get lanes at the ( Read more... )
