  <title>Enter Me to Win!</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/33277.html</link>
  <description>Companies, TV Shows, blogs and other websites are always having contests or sweepstakes.  It&apos;s almost impossible to enter them all, but wouldn&apos;t you like to?  :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m thinking of starting a contest blog.  This, separate, blog would provide links and info on all the various contests and sweepstakes being held around the net.  As a, possible, added service, all members would be AUTOMATICALLY entered into these contests!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If my testing of this service goes well, I will probably make it a pay service.  First though, I have to see how it works :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, for my friends here, would you like to be entered in contests and sweepstakes? :)  For anyone who provides their information for this trial, you will continue to recieve this service for free even after I open it up to the public for a fee :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To sign up, please email me (anastasia_falling@yahoo.com) or leave a comment with the information below. (Comments will not be public)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Name: (First/Last)&lt;br /&gt;Age:&lt;br /&gt;Birthdate:&lt;br /&gt;Address: (If you put a P.O. Box, this may exculde you from some contests that require a  street address)&lt;br /&gt;Phone #:&lt;br /&gt;Email Address: &lt;br /&gt;ebay ID: (if you&apos;d like to be entered in ebay daily contests - Your password is NOT required)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an example of some recent contests that you could be entered in:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.egroupnet.com/3M/petco/treatyourself/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Treat Yourself to the Races&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://harrypotter.wbshop.com/hpsweeps/harry-potter-sweeps-phoenix.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;$500 Shopping Spree&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://saturn.eprize.net/devotiontomotion/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Saturn: various monthly prizes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gethairapy.com/makeover/?source=unilist&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hairapy Sweeps: Trip to NY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://reginavinegar.dja.com/form.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;5 Star Cooking Vacation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buitoni.com/NapaNights/?from=FarmersMarketOnline&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Trip to Napa Valley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://papajohns.eprize.net/summer07/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Papa Johns Pizza Sweeps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ebay.promotionexpert.com/windorphins/over.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ebay Daily Instant Win (now ended)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... and so on :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, there are all kinds of prizes being given away!  This is just the tip of the iceberg :)  So sit back, and win a prize!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You information will NOT be used for any other purpose.  I won&apos;t sell it or use it for anything other then entering you in contests.  Any prizes you win are yours to keep.  You will not be billed for this service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are entered into contests, many times ther is a checkbox to receive more information from the company and / or sponsors.  I DO NOT check these boxes.  You may still receive information from these companies regarding your entry, and they may still try to send you spam, but I will try to minimilize that as much as I can :)  I, personally, enter all contests with my Yahoo account, which filters out almost all spam email that I recieve.  If you are worried about spam, though, I suggest you sign up for a new email account specifically for these contest entries. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enter as little personal information as possible.  If the contest does nt require your phone number or birth date, I do not provide it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that covers everything.  If you have any questions / comments, please email me or comment here.  :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, in advance, and good luck! :)</description>

  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/32279.html</link>
  <description>On her new album, Tori Amos starts out with a song about George Bush.  When I heard it, I envisioned some cool, anti-bush videos that could be made with it.  Today, I found one of, hopefully, many :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(This is a fan made video set to a remix of the song.  This is not the same song that is on the album :))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id=&quot;2&quot; /&gt;</description>

  <title>Vanilla Icehole</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/30699.html</link>
  <description>Those of you keeping tabs on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/surreal_life_fame_games/series.jhtml&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;The Surreal Life Fame Game&quot;&lt;/a&gt; will certainly share in my disappointment at tonights episode.  The show is quickly losing it&apos;s dignity and so are some of the &quot;celebrities&quot; that are on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonights episode was a sad reflection of real life.  It showed us that throwing a fit and acting like a jerk will get you your way every time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vanilla Ice, well known for trashing interview sets and hotel rooms, threw yet another tantrum on TV this evening.  The object of the game was to have as many celebrities call you as possible in an eight hour timeframe.  At the end, the celebrities who called would be ranked and points awarded.  This is where Ice stomps around like a jackass saying, &quot;I don&apos;t want my friends to be ranked.  It&apos;s disrespectful!&quot;... oh, until the celebrity guest judge decides that HIS celebrities are high on the list!  Then he&apos;s okay with the ranking?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guest judge in question was one Kennedy, formerly of MTV.  (I always liked Kennedy, but she really was intimidated by Ice pitching a fit.  I think even Robin Leeech was scared!)  Not sure how to carry on in the face of Rob Van Winkles childish anger, Kennedy decided it was better to kiss his ass and thus prove that she knew what she was doing and that he could trust her judgement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Countless celebrities called Ron Jeremy.  All of them more famous then Ricky Carmichael (is that his name?  Some motocross guy I&apos;ve never heard of).  I think Elvira is more famous then that guy!  Yet, Kennedy&apos;s ranking system seemed to be based on soothing Rob than on any other criteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To top it off, Andrea Lowell cried and thus got one of her celebs ranked the highest! (Sherman Helmsly -IS- famous and definately deserved to be up on the board, but COME ON!  At the top?) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, emotional manipulation of Kennedy was what it took to win the game.  Although Chyna certainly had more calls by more famous celebrities, she had to lose because she wasn&apos;t a bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like real life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I Learned from TV Today: Be a bitch = Get your way</description>

  <title>Doggy Style?</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/29103.html</link>
  <description>-- The link in this post is probably not work safe --&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day I was messaged on Yahoo by a &quot;girl&quot;... (I&apos;d link you, but my computer died so I can&apos;t find &quot;her&quot; profile.)  ... who really, really loved &quot;her&quot; dog.  In fact, &quot;she&quot; was dying to share a video of said love with me.  She asked if I ever wanted to give it a go and, of course, I said no, but....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...then tonight I was watching tv and I thought... &quot;You know... &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.furholt.net/biohazard/Art/fg-lois&amp;amp;brian4.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;if my dog were Brian.... I&apos;d totally have to hit it ;) &lt;/a&gt;&quot; Lois doesn&apos;t know what she&apos;s missing!</description>

  <description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;cc66ff&quot;&gt;The Weather:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought I&apos;d be envious of &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;cpxbrex&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://cpxbrex.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://cpxbrex.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;cpxbrex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; by now, with his sunshine and pretty landscpe, while I was buried in snow....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every winter I&apos;ve lived here for the last six years, has been horrible!  Especially for a desert girl like me.  We&apos;ve been buried in snow and ice from October to April...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, it hasn&apos;t snowed ONCE this winter. (okay, we got a few flakes that lasted a few hours, but not enough to even cover the ground.) It&apos;s been in the fourty degree area this entire time!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not complaining.  I haven&apos;t had a nicer winter in a long time.  Even my old hometown in Utah is thirty degrees colder (It&apos;s 22 there now compared to my 45).  However.... this can&apos;t be good.  It could just be a fluke.. After all, Colorado and all the states around this midwest warm bubble are getting hammered with storms.  Even the west coast was flooding and frozen over.  So the bad weather is still there, it&apos;s just been pushed out to all the other states, leaving us to bask in the warmth.  So maybe it&apos;s just luck of the currents... or maybe it&apos;s more evidence of global warming... or both...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==========&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;cc66ff&quot;&gt;Dead Saddam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched the cell phone video of the execution.  While it wasn&apos;t particularly graphic, it was still rather shocking to me on a level I didn&apos;t expect.  I&apos;ve known of Saddam my whole life, seen him in the news often, and laughed at his likeness on South Park, so seeing him hanging there, dead... It felt as if I was watching the death of someone I knew personally. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==========&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;cc66ff&quot;&gt;Swearing in with the Koran&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total white noise to take focus off Iraq.  If people still care what book you swear on, in the days of constant political lies, cover ups and scandals, then they aren&apos;t living in the real world with the rest of us.  It doesn&apos;t matter what book you swear on, you&apos;re a politician! That affiliation always trumps religion.</description>

  <title>Report Stolen Property?</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/27975.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://digg.com/offbeat_news/The_IRS_requires_you_to_declare_Stolen_Property_on_your_tax_return&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The IRS requires you to declare &quot;Stolen Property&quot; on your tax return&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;See Page 90 of publication 17. Under the heading of &apos;other income&apos;. Under &apos;stolen property&apos; it says: &apos;If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless in that year you return it to its rightful owner!&apos;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- At first glance, this seems like a waste of space on a tax form.  Who would steal something and then report it&apos;s value to the government?!  Doesn&apos;t that defeat the purpose of stealing something, if you&apos;re going to pay taxes on it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real reason they have this entry on the tax form is this.  If someone gets caught with stolen property, they will be charged not only with the theft, but for not reporting it on their taxes.  Among many other violations that they will throw at you to increase you fines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More evidence of how the criminal justice system is used as a cash crop.</description>

  <title>Book Recommendations?</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/27190.html</link>
  <description>Hey guys, I am DYING for some good fiction!  Please please please, can you reccomend something for me?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* It doesn&apos;t have to be new.  There are plenty of older books that I haven&apos;t read.  I haven&apos;t really read any fiction for a long long time (aside from the George R R Martin book a few months ago).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* If it&apos;s good AND has mushy love and graphic sex, that would be perfect! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need something that sweeps you up in it, you know? :)</description>

  <title>He MUST Be A Hot Guy!</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/26656.html</link>
  <description>Email I recieved on MySpace!  I think it&apos;s hilarious and thought I&apos;d share :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=======================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a Dom like no other, most of those jerks are wifebeaters, that is sick, i might spank that butt but thats in play, not in anger, also i want more than just playing, i need a friend a lover, someone i can feel i can say anything to and her free to speak her mind, someone to hold at night and all that that entails and that is what separates me from the riff raff in this world, I pray you understand the difference &lt;br /&gt;Have you ever experienced true multiple orgasms, to where they just keep cuming and cuming and cuming, like you&apos;re floating in mid air, one after the other, like in waves, so many you lose count and passout? I&apos;m not talking choking or drugs, literally so many? &lt;br /&gt;Most people think that 5 or 6 is true multiples but it&apos;s not, this is 30 or 40 in 45 minutes, a whole other level. I use an oriental technique to teach a woman that level of orgasms, plus I&apos;ve added a lot to it. 99 percent of the guys or the gals do not even have a clue that this level even exists for their lover, hence the same percentage of women. &lt;br /&gt;The oriental part is a massage that i use, that they use in the orient to teach a woman true multiples but I&apos;ve added so much, it&apos;s like an art to me now, not unlike the music that i write but i dont even need the massage anymore, its more mental than physical, however the massage can be fun, once you learn true multiples, you will have them for the rest of your life. &lt;br /&gt;hi, how are you today &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tim &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;My response to him was:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;LOL What the fuck? I&apos;ve never had personal ad spam before hehe :) Why don&apos;t you just post that in your profile instead of spamming chicks with it? :)&quot;&lt;br /&gt;---------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one would see it if it was in my profile &lt;br /&gt;So, have you ever had so many orgasms you passed out? I believe there are 3 levels of orgasms for a woman, singular, you might have 5 or 6, true multiples cum in waves, one right after the other, so many you lose count and passing out. There&apos;s a lot more to it than the oriental massage, its also a deeper connection on many levels. &lt;br /&gt;I also believe and this is my own theory, that a woman&apos;s orgasms are more tied to their feelings, emotions, pain and stresses in life and use this technique to bring them out, have you ever laughed or cried during or right after an orgasm? &lt;br /&gt;If not now, you will when you reach this level. That&apos;s part of it, learning to release all of that inside and very healthy for you to be in touch with those emotions, I love those, that tear running down your cheek, I lean up and kiss it and swallow away all of your pain, leaving you completely rejuvenated and like brand new. &lt;br /&gt;Talk about rejuvenating, with normal orgasms you get real sleepy after wards, with these you will want to get up and do laundry at 3am, all of your pain, stresses and emotions released, you will feel like a million bucks and light as a feather, like the whole world is lifted off of your shoulders. &lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s also all about teasing, foreplay stimulating your mind but mostly teasing, first the tinglies start right down there in that little bud, between your legs, then the throbbies, followed by that ooooooohhh ssooooooo aching emptiness, to have me anywhere inside, that&apos;s when the teasing starts, to the point you cant stand it anymore, everything building and building right there, you lose all your inhibitions and will go off like a volcano at just the touch of my hand. &lt;br /&gt;I will make your whole mind and body writhe with desire, turn you into a walking orgasm and keep you hot wet and wanting all day long, once you reach that point of complete uninhibition, complete release. &lt;br /&gt;Make sense? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tim &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------&lt;br /&gt;&quot;LOL Do you have that in a text file that you just cut and paste to everyone? hehe &quot;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah i have alot to say about alot of things but there are a couple of things that are important to me &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, my name is Timothy, 6&apos;, 190, medium build, broad shoulders, dark hair and very dark eyes, play guitar, write music and love to cook, amongst other things, i am early retired just working on my music right now, could relocate anywhere my heart so desires &lt;br /&gt;I made a bi woman passout on the phone awhile back, i couldn&apos;t believe i did that without being there, normally i use my fingers and tongue. &lt;br /&gt;It was funny, I could tell her orgasms were getting so close together, they were like one, I said, we better stop, you are going to passout, she said no, she wanted to experience it, I said I am not there to catch you, you better be laying down and bam out like a light for 3 minutes. Just from talking her through it on the phone &lt;br /&gt;A couple questions first, I have a very high libido, with the right person, at least 3 times a day or more, can you stay up with me, I think bi women have higher sex drives? I haven&apos;t found a woman yet that can, plus I can control when I cum anymore, its great, I can go all night long, if you like and I was tested for stds and am clean, saving myself for someone that is clean also, are you? &lt;br /&gt;I will give you and another woman both more orgasms, than you can count on your fingers and toes, twice as many, plus two sets of hands are better than one with the oriental massage I use, if you know what I mean. &lt;br /&gt;If you are into a 3 way, not sure? Its also all about finding out what you like and what turns you on, some women like their butt spanked, do you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tim &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;My last message to him was:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;LOL LMGDFAO  hahahahahahahah&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He didn&apos;t reply after that :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;amp;friendid=125746491&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;a link to his MySpace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out his pics!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Guys, if you have to brag about how great you are, you&apos;re NOT GREAT!  If this guy was really such a fab lover, he&apos;d be too busy pleasing women to go on a pussy hunt on MySpace ;)</description>

  <title>Adventure In Not Dating: &quot;I&apos;m A Great Guy&quot;</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/26494.html</link>
  <description>When a stranger tries to entice me to meet them by telling me what a great guy they are and how much they respect women....  It seems to me if you have to tell me all that, it&apos;s probably not true!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really, if you&apos;re SUCH a great guy and SO good in bed, why isn&apos;t anyone calling you for a date?  Why are you online, trying to convince me how hot you are?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After talking to tons of guys on the &apos;net, I&apos;m starting to get well aquainted with how they work on a girl to get her to meet them.  Here are more examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Some simply ask to meet RIGHT THEN and when I say no, they stop messaging me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** I&apos;ve been propositioned several times. One guy offered me a hundred bucks for sex and when I said no, he said he give me the hundred just to watch me get off.  One guy asked to meet then said &quot;oh, I forgot to buy you a gift&quot;  (Online prostitute websites require you to buy your girl a gift, so, you know, it&apos;s legal  hehe)  Then some cheapass offered me fifty bucks!  Loser! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** &quot;I&apos;m going to be in town for the weekend...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** There is also a lot of bullying.  &quot;How will you get to know me if we don&apos;t meet!&quot;  &quot;We&apos;ll be in a public place!&quot; &quot;I&apos;ve been chatting with you for two weeks now!&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(This guy I&apos;m talking to right now said &quot;I&apos;m a gentleman&quot; and &quot;I&apos;d like to be friends more then I&apos;d like to get laid&quot;  then launched right into &quot;I&apos;d love to touch you and french kiss you though&quot;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** There is the &quot;poor me&quot; guys too.  The poor, lonely married guys who &quot;just want someone to connect with&quot; who isn&apos;t their wife, obviously hehe  I don&apos;t have a problem with married guys, but come on! Don&apos;t be so pathetic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of these guys take my advice and read my journal or profile.  They never try to engage me in conversations about things I&apos;m interested in.  They just blah blah about nothing and then try to get me to meet or to talk dirty or get on my cam and shake my cans....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... Maybe I&apos;m being too critical?  Could it just be that these guys don&apos;t know how to communicate on the internet and they really are cool guys?  I don&apos;t know if it&apos;s worth finding out!  I mean, I really want to get out there and meet some guys but I also don&apos;t want to get raped or slobbered on by old married men or drunk rednecks...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m hanging in there for some better options.  :)</description>

  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/25980.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&apos;t read this if you haven&apos;t seen the latest episode of &quot;Lost&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just finished watching the latest episode of &quot;Lost&quot; and my head is buzzing! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I know what&apos;s going on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I purposely don&apos;t read BBS posts or speculations about Lost because I like to be suprised by either a: being oblivious and then totally shocked when they lay it all out for me or b: figuring it out for myself (Yay!)  It&apos;s so much more exciting that way! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I can&apos;t help but want to talk about &quot;Lost&quot; so when &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser&apos; lj:user=&apos;hookncrook&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://hookncrook.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://hookncrook.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;hookncrook&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; posted about it in her journal, I couldn&apos;t help but read her theories! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVERYONE -IS- GOING TO DIE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll tell you why!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plane is going to crash :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&apos;re all -already- dead!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching the scenes with Locke and Boone convinced me of it.  They&apos;re going through the airport and Boone is saying that someone is in trouble.... It could have just been to point Locke where he needed to go and for a new crazed out on drugs scene that wasn&apos;t in the jungle. But Showing them all in the airport, about to get on that faithful flight... made me think it was more literal then that.  I think it&apos;s a big hint that the plane DOES crash, only all the survivors are really the ones who died!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;== ** I have this random, possibly connected theory that the button and the electromagnetic thing have something to do with a black hole.  Black holes also have to do with time travel (for the easy explaination, watch Donnie Darko). Desmond talks to Hurly about a speech that Locke made before he made it.  Somehow time is affected the electromagnetic whatever.  (It&apos;s a black hole in a box!  Some crazy science experiment gone haywire.  They discovered how to make a black hole and now they have to contain it before it spreads.  It causes shifts in time, making it possible for everyone to slide back in time before they plane crash!  Maybe even to earlier points in their lives... (Yay! Locke gets together with together with his woman!)** ==&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, they have to solve some cosmic puzzle so they can all go back in time and save each other from getting on the plane!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or this is some in-between place where they have a chance to... fix thier mistakes?  Become the people they were meant to be?  Perfect their souls?  (And they have to keep pushing the button so they don&apos;t get sucked into Hell!  hehe)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, the fixing the mistakes thing makes sense.  (I&apos;m theorising as I type (yes I spelled that with an &quot;s&quot;, I always liked it when the brits did that)) Ana Lucia came to a life changing realization and BAM! she&apos;s off to Heaven!  Libby came out of her shell and talked to Hurly, like she should have all those years ago in the asylum!  so BAM!  She&apos;s off to Heaven too.  That first guy who drowned on the first day was a fucking saint!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&apos;re all working out their personal demons before they move on?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Then we find that Henry is some archangel!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dude&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t think either of those theories take everything into account though... Like ummm... who is sending Locke visions?  He says it&apos;s The Island, but if that&apos;s true then who or what IS The Island? What does a damn polar bear have to do with anyth...**!!! Are the Others REALLY the good guys?  What does the French Woman have to do with anything anymore?  hehe  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love to speculate about it!  Especially because I usually turn out to be wrong and I&apos;m suprised by what happens next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**!!! Those guys were up at the North Pole, looking for electomagnetic anomolies...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... but wow, that was a great episode! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m dying to rummage around &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lost-tv.com/cast/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lost-TV&lt;/a&gt; and look at all the pictures and read the news (They have a &quot;Lost&quot; Magazine?!) but I don&apos;t want to ruin it!  What if I see something I don&apos;t mean to and it gives it all away!!  hehe  ......... *attempts to forget that said site exists*</description>

  <title>Gifted Child Tests?</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_influx_/25362.html</link>
  <description>PARENTS!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever recieved thos packets from school that say &quot;You&apos;re child is probably a genius! Register for this test!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the point of those?  Have you ever had your child take the test?  Did anything come of it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me that the point is to charge you fifty bucks (for the test registration) and then to solicit you to register your child for their special &quot;gifted&quot; classes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(For more specific info on what I recieved, you can &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.education.uiowa.edu/belinblank/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;visit their website.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just wanted to know if this was worthwhile at all.  I&apos;ve never had Sophie do any of these &quot;gifted&quot; programs (unless they were free) because I think they just prey on parents desire to have a genius child. I don&apos;t want to sell my kids short though,  by assuming that these are all just scams designed to fleece stupid parents  hehe :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone have any insight? :)</description>
