Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

are there comments in there that go beyond the standard "Hi, I've been a paid member since dinosaurs roamed the earth and you suck for deleting my RPG community"?

Somewhat. Like how, by doing this, LJ has pretty much ensured that *actual* pedophiles had enough early warning to delete their journals/interest lists/etc.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, where are you finding these adventure vacation websites? Is it just google-fu?

I have an idea for a vacation I want but am at a loss for how to find it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think that was the wacko "protect the children" group, which announced two months ago that it would be going after Livejournal.

Yeah, fair point. Although LJ created a shitstorm large enough to ensure that even REALLY dimwitted pedophiles who didn't catch on the first time would do so now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is it just google-fu?

Pretty much. What is your idea? I'm trying (lord knows why) to scope a Belize dive trip with SCUBA certification for someone who's already done the written stuff.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have a friend who does diving in Belize a lot. It's his One True Vacation.

I want to take just about every one of those GAP Adventures, but particularly the Bohemian one.

You know what's helping my mood? Listening to "Lack of Knowledge" by the Violent Femmes on repeat. It even drowns out Tiny in the cubicle next to me, who I swear has been on the telephone for 3 hours straight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wiy o wiy do I keep clicking on those vacation links??

At least it's more fun than thinking about pedophiles.

So beautiful.

But I need to get back to work. I'm severely distracted now.

This thread is totally going to turn over while I'm off the board, isn't it.
