    <content type="html">and by that i mean rather than metaphorically calling someone out, using their actual name is far less cowardly and childish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i guess this would be my way of continuing that trend though. let's see if the player can recognize their own game!</content>

    <content type="html">Today I robotically as well as unconsciously turned off my cell phone alarm upon ringing. Then I woke up twenty minutes later than i would have preferred from a dream of me hiding in a closet from some alien machine thing with a lens that could see me (kind of like War of the Worlds) and then further running away from a man in armor on a horse with one of those jousting swords.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get ready, go downstairs, get in my car, and then get back out of it after seeing this on my windshield:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/daislandchild/sss.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by double park they must mean that i'm in the red, which i am. but this neighborhood has NO parking, and my spot on the driveway is currently occupied with tools and a mound of earth. And, i'm almost positive that my dad is on the board of directors, i wonder if whoever wrote this knows it was my car? not to sound like a jewish-american-princess or anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway their intention was clear thanks to the underlining, caps, and exclamation points.&lt;br /&gt;and they tried to be sneaky, but that is clearly the incorrect date!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh another thing:&lt;br /&gt;an entry ago or two, i was SO excited. that's because it was before i read the 2008 Coachella lineup. Really? Jack Johnson really? to headline?? um also, it's just not good. i mean i'd love to see rilo again and M.I.A. was a blast but the point is, i've seen most of the bands on that lineup! and i could pay less to drive to see the others when they play somewhere else. where's Radiohead?? Where's Devendra?? It was supposed to be the White Stripes, not the Raconteurs. I heard rumors of David Bowie! and they apparently were just rumors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;unless they add a bunch more to that little blue poster, i say we plan a trip to mexico or somewhere else exciting. i was really disappointed..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now i will wrap up these last give or take 4 hours of costume jewelry sales, and then meet up with the youngest wingerter, also known as desie, which will be a relief after these three letdowns.</content>

    <content type="html">Tentative New Year's Resolutions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. MAKE TIME as well as an effort to use my gym membership that won't expire until 2009 and lose XX pounds.&lt;br /&gt;2. Grow my hair back out, although short hair was fun.&lt;br /&gt;3. NEVER let my car get back to the state it was in from July '07 to November '07 EVER AGAIN.&lt;br /&gt;4. Continue to act on my whim. Being impulsive thus far has only brought me fabulous results!&lt;br /&gt;5. Actually initiate my next big change: moving out, but not only out,.. away...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and with that i'd just like to say, i don't hate vegas, i'm sure i wouldn't have done half the things i've done living else where, and met the people i have and all that. i enjoy the meadows, but i haven't wanted to live here for a while ( a looong while, trust me, we're talking pre pre adolescent as in age 3.) anyway, i thank you las vegas, and i can't wait for the new year's i will celebrate in you this year, and i'm not breaking us off. In fact, i think that if things go the way i plan, i will visit you often from the east coast and bring with me nothing but happiness and excitement. see you four times a year i'd say!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THEN AGAIN like i said, these are tentative resolutions, so we'll see what happens. Last year i accomplished two out of three resolutions!!! right now i have five and if things continue in the pattern they are in, i won't accomplish number 1 again..but i'm looking to alter the trends!!! 2006 was the most important year of my life so far, and this year started off with a bang (bang? big bang?? theory???)))) 'tis true, it was party time all the time this year, i loved it. anyways, COOL.</content>

    <content type="html">Saturday (starting at 12 pm midnight&amp;nbsp;Friday, you know the real official&amp;nbsp;Saturday)&amp;nbsp;is very not as dull as some&amp;nbsp;of us&amp;nbsp;had&amp;nbsp;made it out to be according to Friday. It's just 3 hours past half the day being over and much&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;happened.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FIRST-- i finally went and saw my wonderful beautiful amazing apartment it's soo coool, it's from 1974 and&amp;nbsp;i like it a lot.&amp;nbsp;My dad has a lot of work to do but it will look great by Christmas. We're redoing my room first, i'm going to pick out&amp;nbsp;carpet this week. I'm feeling cream, but i don't&amp;nbsp;know, i'm kind of too messy for such a clean color. We'll see, i can pick anything.&amp;nbsp;Also, the light in my bathroom is red! it's like a party everytime i piss. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's a little interesting history about my place..&amp;nbsp;the lady who lived there had a lot of personality and 17 cats. unfortunately she died when she had a seizure. She was an epileptic. The family was very shocked, and when my dad went to take up the offer, he and the dad connected because the man bought the place for her and my dad wanted to get it for me and you get the picture. it's sad because some of her things are still there. everyone kind of feels her presence when they go in. not a bad or good feeling, just a feeling. so since she loved cats and she died very young and we owe it to her, my dad is going to get some sort of lion head drawn by this guy and frame it as a tribute to her. i am grateful to be in&amp;nbsp;the new abode, i really do like it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so that was this afternoon. this morning i woke up with a head full of a hundred things annnnnnnnnd that's as far as i'll go on that. Dad noticed, i love that man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ook well my last fortune cookie said to look forward to a new adventure, and so far this night/day/soon to be night again has been pretty adventurous.</content>
