Hm...

I'm trying to view the Friends page of book_icons in my style because I can see more entries at a time that way. But every time I go back, it reverts to the book_icons style. I could just fiddle around with the style, but I don't want to do that until I answer the question: is it possible to view more than the most recent "recent entries" or "friends" page of a journal other than your own in your style?

I can safely say I'm horrified. Glad they got asylum, though.

On torture. Please read.

Taken from metaquotes

One of my sister's friends tried that "I won't have sex until I'm married line" around my mom (or maybe Jenn reported it to her, I'm not sure) and my mom laughed in her face.

And, if you're curious, her everlasting advice goes as follows: Sex. Is. Not. Love. You can have love without sex, you can have sex without love. Too many stupid people get themselves into bad, or abusive, or just plain boring relationships because of "well, we had sex, but it's all right because we're in love, so now we have to stay togetha 4eva!!!!" and it's wrong.

(Everything after the first four words is an elaboration by me)

Women was stoned to death in Afghanistan for adultury

Remember Afghanistan? Wasn't this sort of thing ended with the invasion? The one people don't talk much about anymore? Yeah.

The Taliban have a radio station now, too.

Note: I'm not comparing one invasion to another. I just think that if you're going to invade another country and somewhere indicate that it's for freedom, you should at least finish the goddamn job.

Oooh. Some of the April Fools pets are up to vote...

I picked number 5. 4, 13, and 17 were close runners-up. If you have an account, please go vote (especially if you like numbers 5, 4, 13, or 17).

Reason 127 not to ever start downloading TV shows...

If you do, and you get all caught up, you'll be pissed at having to sit around and wait for commercials, to say nothing of the fact that you can't just re-watch one scene 60 times in a row.

Or maybe this is Reason 127 why I need to start recording TV somehow....

That said, I would like to thank the nice folks at twopfeed for encouraging such obsessions such as "Battlestar Galactica" and "Veronica Mars". I now will go hide under the covers for a while.
