Marta's Mental Mastication

I think this is the creepiest fucking thing I have ever seen in my life. Warning: deeply disturbing.

It was fun at first, because Facebook suddenly drew together virtually all of my friends from all periods of my life. Amazing! On FB, I connected with people I hadn't heard from in years, and it was great to find out little snippets of what's going on in their lives.

However, therein lies the problem. FB and Twitter are just that...snippets. Neither one lends itself *at all* to reading in-depth information about my friends' lives. If the people I know and love are having problems, joys, fun experiences, whatever...I've realized that I want to read about them in more depth.

So, after not reading LJ for, oh, several months (shamefaced), due to the shiny, glittery lure of things like FB...I just want...more.

To all my friends whose LJ's I have not been reading: my deep apologies. I'm working on catching up.

Oh. My. God. Awesome!

Discussing this with Bill, currently - sounds like something every American should read:

Warning: For a video with nothing more in it than kissing (clothed, no less), this is one of the hottest sequences I've seen in a looooong time. David Tennant is more handsome'n'sexy than any human has a right to be.

That is all.

You Are 56% Goth

You definitely have some gothicness going on, but you're far from being a stereotypical goth. You enjoy certain elements of goth culture, but you're not going to be into something simply because it's goth. It's likely that you're the type of person who totally defies labels. Good for you! If you are into something, it's because you sincerely love it. Not because it projects a certain image.

I called in sick today, because I woke up with a terrible stomach ache. So I'm sitting on the deck, sipping tea and trying to get my stomach to calm down. I have a fly swatter, and kill a yellow jacket with it. The insect's body is laying on the deck railing.

Yellow jackets are nasty, horrible, meat-eating creatures with mean temperaments--and they cannibalize their dead.

A few minutes later, another yellow jacket comes to investigate the dead one. I watch the live one quickly detach and eat the head of its dead compatriot. The live one then cleans its antennae for a minutes, and flies away.

If only meth-heads and car thieves did the same....
