Example:
THREE THINGS I CAN'T DO:
01. give birth naturally

03. safely digest uranium or plutonium.

[fivefootmayhem.livejournal.com]

Some of your redneck answers surprise me. You've gone hunting?

Re: heh... who knew!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

i had heard they were remaking the prisoner. ecceston seems to be a good choice. he made a good dr. who. i dl'd the season some time ago but haven't finished watching it. there are some things i didn't like, but i guess they were trying to attract the "right" demo. i'll do the meme when i'm less addicted to channel choser. i like the show on scifi. i think it's called one step beyond.

[phillykat.livejournal.com]

03. make sounds frighteningly similar to that of a newborn.
- seriously? ew, that must be awfully weird to see. i wanna see it. my answers are up.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'll peek at 'em, soon!

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

*whistles while looking up and away*


i totally suck at remembering to log in. surprised you didn't guess it was me. i was thinking about leaving you in suspense, but that's just mean. i am sometimes pretty nasty, but i can't sustain it for long :P.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I did compare and contrast IP addresses later on. thank you for the compliment (well the first half, anyhow! )

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I wonder if your "redneck" score would be higher now? heee You DO own a pickup now!!

I'm sitting at my desk listening to the world's LONGEST version of "In the midnight hour" by the Grateful Dead (recorded live of course). I'm supposed to be wriitng this letter but all I'm doing is thinking about you. Man things just don't change much in one year do they? :D
