today i....

went to every halloween store in layton-ogden.


went winter shopping and got 2 sweaters, a really neat jacket that i dont think i'll ever wear, a pair of ridiculously cute charcoal grey heels, and a pair of black flats.


found out our external hard drive that has about 200 gigs of music died. it could cost any where between $250 to $1800 to fix, and there's still a chance we'll lose everything.


watched the snow come down!!!!

i love saturdays/fall.

Last.fm in Journal Entries

Are you a last.fm user? The updated Music field on the Post an Entry page can now automatically fill in what you're listening to when you write the post. To enable this feature, fill in your last.fm username in the field under Contact Info on the Edit Profile page. This also adds a link to your last.fm profile on your LiveJournal Profile page. Then download the scrobbler client from last.fm. When it's installed, just click the Detect button by the Music field on the Post an Entry page and the scrobbler automatically pulls through the track information of what you're listening to on your music player or music program.

You can also use the feature without downloading the scrobbler client. If you're logged in and listening to last.fm over the Internet, click Detect to pull through the artist and title of the track playing. If the song changes while you're writing your entry, just click Detect again to update the Music field.

And for more musical accompaniment, last.fm also has a widget you can embed in your profile or a journal entry that displays what you're listening to in real time.

Feedback Request on New Find Your Friends Feature

We know your privacy is very important to you, so we're interested in getting your feedback about this new feature. A full description, including the proposed privacy settings, is available in feedback. Let us know what you think.

India Travels Community

Have you explored the subcontinent? From the heights of the Himalayas to the beaches of Kerala, India is so vast and varied that you'll discover something new wherever you go, no matter how many people have been there before. We've partnered with travel writer Ajay Jain of Kunzum to create a community where you can share your stories, anecdotes, and tips about traveling in India. What was the most amazing thing you saw? Where did you go that can't be found with a Google search? Where do you want to go next? Selected entries will be considered for publication (with full credit, and only if you give permission) in travel books about India. So whether you've been to India, want to go to India, or aspire to write about India, you should take a trip over to india_travels.

And More

There's lots of other stuff going on, too. See lj_releases to get all the details.

"oh, no," i said
i think about the times
the way you smile at me
and how we always kiss

and how we drank the sun
and killed the night
and fought the sleep and won
and how we left it all unmade

it was only once

now there's more than one
no, there's only one
now there's more than one
you're the only one
you're the only one
you're the only one

it's good to see
that you are doing well
and well enough to be
laughing here with me

'cause what we did
there's no excuse for it
you know i love you so
and i'd love to know what i did

it was only once

i want you to know
that i will always love you
and always be your friend
and never leave you again

the past is past
it's now, so we can go
and we can move ahead
i hope this letter gets read

if just only once

love love love.

i am in a weird place. everyone is growing up and growing a part, going down different paths.
i need a change. i want to move. i want to work less, and i want it all to go back to how it was. i want the chance to meet new people. i want to know people who will go out to breakfast with me, or who will come over and watch re runs with me. i want to know people who live in my complex so i don't have to drive forever every time i want to go do some stuff. that's my problem, i live to far to do anything. no one is willing to come up to me, i'm always obligated to go down to salt lake. i mean, i guess i understand. i am the one who moved away. but its so hard to get motivated to drive 40 miles when i do it every day during the week. how do people meet others when they don't go to school, and don't work with anyone but sweet old ladies? i need to figure this out..

this is the new ethic.
animals' lives are their own and must be given respect.
reject the anthropocentric falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy of mankind over the animals.
it's time to set them free.
their lives reduced to biomachines in the factory, farm, and laboratory.
dairy, eggs and meat, fur, suede, wool, leather are the end products of torture, confinement, and murder.
i abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life.
wildlifes' right to live in peace in their natural environment without this civilization's interference can no longer be denied.
must no longer be denied.
to make a civilization worthy of the word civilized the cruelty must end, starting within our own lives.
reject the anthropocentric falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy of mankind over the animals.
it's time to set them free.
veganism is the essence of compassion and peaceful living.
the animals are not ours to abuse or dominate.
i abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life.
