OpalCat introduced me to the wonderful world of LiveJournal. Check it out: [http://www.livejournal.com](http://www.livejournal.com) And my journal can be found at [http://www.livejournal.com/users/ervettech/](http://www.livejournal.com/users/ervettech/) Michi ---

Another good site like that to read is [My Dear Diary](http://www.mydeardiary.com/). Very good on days like this when I’m bored out of mind at work. [sub](btw nice bra Michi, wish I had one. ;))[/sub] ---

Yowsah!! Umm, pardon me, but is that _lipstick_ I see on your right…umm…side there? Not that I was staring – I was looking into your eyes – but I thought that maybe perhaps I caught aa glimpse of lipstick in my visual periphery. ---

No…it isn’t lipstick…but that is what every man who has seen that pic has thought. 🙂 It’s actually a set of little red crystals in the shape of a pair of lips. But my friend Kel prolly would have kissed my breast if I had asked her to! ---

I’ve had a livejournal for a few weeks now… Got turned onto it by a potential drummer for my band who also happens to be the webmaster for Ben Stein’s official dot-com. She’s a very interesting lady. Mine’s at (imagine this) [http://www.livejournal.com/users/farrisgoldstein](http://www.livejournal.com/users/farrisgoldstein) I like the “friends” section of this service. ---

Post a journal in front of God and everybody? _I_ can barely tolerate my self-indulgent navel-gazing. Damned if I’ma let _other_ people read it. 🙂 You’re a braver woman than I, Michi (you know what I mean). ---

I think I’ll probably set up a livejournal. Lord knows I have plenty of rambling thoughts bouncing around in my head that are too mundane to post even here. I will use some discretion since John Q. Public will be able to. You can post photos? Cool! I don’t know if I want to use my SDMB user name there. I’ve thought of changing my username to one of the other more creative ones I’ve thought of – none of which I can remember right now. ---

> [@](#): > > You’re a braver woman than I, Michi (you know what I mean). Or you would if that sentence weren’t so awkward. What I meant was, you’re a brave woman, I’m not a brave man, you’re a braver _human being_ than I. Lousy cryptic parenthetical expressions…[/homer] ---

Neato! As soon as I get a chance, I’ll update my friends list and everyone can feel free to put me on their lists, if they so desire. ---

Sounds like a cool site. I started an online journal too. I’m not guaranteeing you will all want to listen to the ramblings of an average yuppy, but you never know. [http://www.livejournal.com/users/psyche0](http://www.livejournal.com/users/psyche0) ---

You can my LiveJoural at [http://www.livejournal.com/users/akatsukami/](http://www.livejournal.com/users/akatsukami/). Not that you’re ever likely to find anything worth reading there. If you feel the need to make cruel fun of someone wth a drab, wretched excuse for a life, however, go right ahead. ---

Michi, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (because, seriously, it’s true!) You are a total honeybabe! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-the-tradition-of-mpsims/41613.md?page=2)
