My Goth name is either Pixie Corpse or Liquid Vamp. Depends on where I place my middle name.

I just listened to my radio sation play Johnny Cash doing an acoustic cover of the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt.

And it did hurt. Sometimes, guy, you just get a little too old to be singing. You're there now. So please stop singing a song that I love and making sound like...that.

On the new LJ posting limits. I don't oppose the idea of limits. If the limits had been instated when I joined, it wouldn't have kept me from joining. But I do think 3 posts a day for the free users is too few. Since I average 4 posts a day, it's not enough. 6 or 7 would be a more reasonable number. I don't think hardly anyone ever posts more than 10 in one day... 6 updates every 24 hours is a decent, sensible limit.

I'm going to bake cookies this afternoon and mail them out to my brother on his ship. I know that sounds like a such a cliche 'feminine' thing to do-- but he really *does* appreciate getting them. Apparently the food provided by the U. S. Naval Forces is less than "yummy." And he did say that I didn't need to make them, he'd love just store-bought kind too. But I like making sweet stuff, and I know mine are better than Chips A'Hoy. Not into overall cooking so much as... dessert baking. Probably becaase I like desserts.

He also would like me to loan him book[s] too. He wants to read more "famous literature stuff," so I'm to send him my copy of Les Miserables (which is a pretty good book), and anything else I want. As he says--this is the time that I can get him to actually read the stuff I'm always telling him about (usually various fantasy books). Because on a ship he has no escape and few alternatives. He's probably read more famous lit than I have; when it's not part of school, I prefer fantasy novels.

Did you know that nicotine actually improves memory / mental retention? Releases more neurotransmitters across the synaptic gap between nuerons in your brain. Huh. Too bad it totally sets you up to be deader than dead addict monkeys at the same time. Psych class is interesting.

How evil are you?

My brother came back from the navy training listening to pop-country music. It's was horrid. But at least he's gotten over his rap phase, and the worst he does now is hip-hop and R&B.
