Random Facts
In Cleveland, Ohio, it's illegal to catch mice without a hunting license.
More food is thrown out each day in the United States than is needed to feed its hungry . . . by McDonalds.
Spider monkeys like banana daiquiris.
Well, what's not to like!

I'm not goth, I'm more of a stupid hipster chick. Ew?
And.... Metatron likes to make orgasm noises behind stage curtains, with me.
It's the most fun ever.

Oooooohh! This is GOOD! And what's more random than luck, eh?
------------------------------------
The loser's guide to getting lucky
(above headline links to complete article at the BBC News website)
By Professor Richard Wiseman - University of Hertfordshire
Why do some people get all the luck while others never get the breaks they deserve? A psychologist says he has discovered the answer.
Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck.
I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune.
I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me.
Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research and, over the years, I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in experiments.
...
I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside.
I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying: "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win £250."
This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high.
It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more tense than lucky people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected.
As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else.
...
My research eventually revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four principles.
They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
------------------------------------
There's more at the complete article, but this confirms my long held belief that in many ways, people make their own luck. That's not to say that negative things don't happen to lucky people, but ever when negative things happen, lucky people deal with them differetnly. I would encourage you all to go read this.
And then, I want you all to get lucky!
(I just added that for gruel's benefit, since he doesn't like to go too long without talking about sex.)

Last random fact for now:
In Maine, it's illegal for a police officer to tell you to have a nice day after giving you a traffic ticket.
Damn skippy! That is a major fucking offense every time it occurs!

I never said it was a hobby. It's a compulsion.

Pshk. Same thing.
Anyways, I like biting bottoms as well.
AND, some kid just hit me with a pool stick.
He's.... seven. Should I go in for the kill?

Let it pass this time, but let him know what you're capable of.

*inhales like it was her last breath* the smell from the kitchen tonight is Roast Beast, and man does it smell good. *salivates* I, myself, believe you cannot fully enjoy the vegetables without the meat.

Whoa, I'll take that medicine!
Honestly, I know it's the antibiotics that are causing it, but for that reason, I can't take any painkillers, otherwise it'll negate the effect of the drug. I'll just have to grin and bear it for a few more days.

Kerova, I never heard of antibiotics causing a headache before. Strange!
I'm sorry you have to put up with this pain. Hang in there.

Ben, I like Sasha Sanchez. She's officially my second favourite av. The first one is the dancing lady. Haha, I loved that one.

Yeah, I think I can handle it. The worst part about it is it's just plain annoying. A headache that lasts for 5 hours at a time will have you thinking by the fifth hour it hurts more than it really does.
But that sex thing. I might just have to try that. *rubs chin*
