"If you didn't start a Live Journal for the sole purpose of being an attentionwhore and having everyone pity you because of your sob stories, put this in your LJ."

I first signed up so as to read a friendslocked post by someone I know.

With a spattering of political screeds, blog references, and philosophical musings.
