The portal page is coming up…ever…so…slowly… I never truly realized until last night just how addicted I’ve become to LJ :eek: ---

**jinwicked** : I trust this pet store implicitly. I think if they didn’t have these little dudes’ best interests at heart, they’d’ve quietly sold them as snake food rather than giving them their own cage and only offering them as a pair. This place’s fish tanks are always in good shape - there aren’t dead fish floating around in there and it doesn’t smell vaguely of aquarium rot when you go back to where they keep the fishies. Several cats have the run of the store. A friend of mine got a Hans Macaw (I think that was what it was called) and they would not let him have the bird until they were sure he had thoroughly researched the care it would need - and then when it came into the store, they had him come in every day and visit the bird and learn about it from the expert at the store before he took it home. A good business, rilly. ---

I remember reading in “Playboy,” after she posed, a letter to the editor complaining that nobody wanted to see what amounted to a naked linebacker with breasts. ---

There’s a sex tape of her and her boyfriend out now and I’ve seen some still shots. Clenis sums it up quite nicely. ---

My livejournal is still down, but I think I’m in the madcow or cartman cluster. Sucktacular. And to think, I actually DID stuff today and I have nowhere to write! These are good times to have alternate journals like at greatestjournal and xanga, but they’re nothing compared to the awesomeness of LJ. If anyone cares, I was disappointed with the ending of the Lemony Snicket movie. I bought some new boots on sale and I’m so sad that I cannot post pictures of me wearing them. ---

IT LIIIIIIIVES! Thank Og. I was slowly losing it without my journal to rant in, and Word just didn’t have that zing. ---

> [@Jack Batty](#): > > You want to hear pathetic? … I was right in the middle of an entry when the whole thing went down. I’ve got it saved as a document, and I’m just waiting for the site to come back up so everyone can read the exciting story of how my car insurance almost got cancelled. Ha! I can still remember what I wanted to post: “I have a Skid Row song stuck in my head. That is all.” It’s gone now, thankfully, but I still can’t get into LJ. ☹ ---

I still can’t get back in. My journal appears to be on the retarded cluster. I’m having to write all of the things I want to eventually post in a Word document (which, I suppose, is how I should have been doing it all along to guard against losing entries). ---
