So anyways... my girlfriend is 17.
I'm 28.
( and so I talk about it... )
heiko @ : Themed days, y/n?
A suggestion for y'all:
Would OTC like themed days?
At LJ's sf_drama, there is Macro Monday, Off Topic Tuesday, uh can't remember what Wednesday, Frinkle Fursday (a lolcat meme) and Capslock Friday. Of course, OTT on OTC seems a bit redundant, but themed days may be good inspiration for us all.
Since IJ gives us so many icon slots, we can even have icon drama for those of us who don't have paid accounts (in which only icons are used to respond to comments, like in a drama series, except without any content in the comment). :D
Unrelated: Are there any socialists here that I could possibly fraternize with in equality and liberty? *cough cough*

Current Mood: omg the net connection is good
So today is a company holiday. As I said last night, exhausted.
WHY AM I AWAKE?
Best answer gets an icon of cookies.
What do you think a new user should know about the community here? The site? Any comm recommendations?
Since we are a little over halfway through the strike, what have your learned about yourself or LJ or IJ from doing it? What's worth remembering?
If you are doing the strike, why are you striking? (And let's be accepting of the fact that each person striked for reasons we may not agree with.)
If you were a woodchuck, could you chuck wood?
If so, how much would you?
Would you prefer to be called a woodchuck, gopher, or groundhog?
Is there any sense to these questions at all?
Beer?

awakeSo there's been recipes posted, some specifically for healthy alternatives, and I just finished reading an article in this lame-arse magazine my health insurance company sent me. (Yeah, I really am that bored.) Anyway, it was about this woman who decided to spend one year living off the land, even though she lives in the city and doesn't have like a ten acre lot of fields or anything. Here we have lots of yard space but it's mostly lawn. We used to grow strawberries, we had raspberries growing wild behind the garage, I think we cut down a lemon tree at one point, we definitely cut down a cherry tree, and we still have a grape vine, tomato plants and a plum tree. My eldest sister does even better at her house, she has peaches and she's got a collection of other fruit and vegetable plants that are still pretty small.
I personally make my own ice cream, and I'm considering making my own bread - hell, I'm home most of the time, it's just a matter of laziness really. (Though admittedly if I shelled out the money for a bread maker I'd be more likely to.) I used to be on a diet, when I wasn't living with my parents, that cut out a lot of overly processed food, but it's too hard to have a radically different diet when you eat together. Even still I don't have much sugar, I go for things like licorice and popcorn as snack foods instead.
So, is anyone else all up with the healthy, DIY food? What sort of things do you do?

flurgh @ : In Honor Of LJ Boycott, I Fell Down A Mountain..
.. and then I had to climb all the way back up to get to my freaking car. D:
I was at Turner Falls Park in Davis, Oklahoma which is nestled in the Arbuckle Mountains. You can check out the wiki article about the Arbuckles to get some information on them. They're incredibly old, and are estimated to at one time have been over 20,000 feet high. Now most of you wouldn't call them mountains anymore, but more of glorified hills. Still, they are the roots of a mountain system so we call them mountains. Besides everything else around here is so damn flat, so give us a break.
Turner Falls is the 77 foot falls that the park is named after. It's located along Honey Creek. The water is always icy cold, and the minerals in the water make your skin feel so lovely. We had some amazing rain for two days straight, so I knew that once the park was able to reopen, the falls would look amazing. I also wanted to go climb around in the caves. If you look at the picture of Turner Falls in the wiki article, on the right side of the falls, in the rock you can see a black spot. That's a cave entrance. I was trying to get to that from the top of the mountain going down around the side, like I did about 12 years ago. It's very steep and rocky. Some 60-ish year old lady in sandals was ahead of me, and she made it all the way down. I, in my hiking boots, found a wonderful patch of slick mud and rocks to slip on. My foot got stuck under a rock as I went down. That wasn't even the bad one. As I freed my foot and stood back up I fell again, caught the same foot under another rock, the foot went left and the knee went to the right, and I slid down the mountain. I was very close to the cave, but I hurt myself pretty good. I sat there for a few minutes trying to decide if I could get up or not. Then I got up and climbed back up the mountain to get to my car. If I had gone ahead to the cave and gone to the bottom where the falls pool is located. I would have had to walk all the way around the darn thing and up a road to get back to my car. I really wasn't feeling like doing that. The good thing is that, as I mentioned above, the water is really cold. So, I got in my car, drove down to the creek, and shoved my foot in the water for a while, before I made the several hours drive back home to Texas.
I took a bunch of pictures, and here's a few I thought I should share with you guys.
( Pictures! )
