  <description>Yeah, I wish that you had told me&lt;br /&gt;you had an appointment with your doctor at 4 am.&lt;br /&gt;&apos;Cause it&apos;s safe to assume&lt;br /&gt;You leapt out of my room through the window&lt;br /&gt;For some important obligation, &lt;br /&gt;and not &apos;cause you&apos;re weird.&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I wish that you had told me&lt;br /&gt;your dad gets up at 4 am;&lt;br /&gt;You wanted to leave it be,&lt;br /&gt;out through the window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I wanted to leave, &lt;br /&gt;but I didn&apos;t want it to be me breaking up in your car&lt;br /&gt;on the way to my birthday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you believe I&apos;m back?&lt;br /&gt;They built your house on a cul-de-sac.&lt;br /&gt;They built my brain out of beans&lt;br /&gt;and my heart out of nothing.</description>

  <title>Desperate, lonely, and underpaid</title>
  <link>http://fading-shadows.livejournal.com/54391.html</link>
  <description>Sometimes I worry about unconsciously repackaging ideas or phrases or something from my past. For example, I wrote this about 2 weeks ago:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I&apos;ve progressively gotten more reminiscent of the good things in my past.&lt;br /&gt;By progressively, I mean that the things I reminisce about slowly become more and more recent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I was sad and missed a moment I had last night. &lt;br /&gt;What happens when I miss something that just happened?&lt;br /&gt;is it even possible to be nostalgic about something that hasn&apos;t happened yet? &lt;br /&gt;What does reaching this point mean, if anything?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is from one of Klosterman&apos;s books I read last summer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I find I am already reminiscent of what happened ten minutes ago....how is it even possible that I&apos;m nostalgic about an event in the very recent past? Does this say something about how genuine I am to things I should *really* be nostalgic towards?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds similar...but how original was mine? Yikes.</description>

  <description>This girl is like a trainwreck combined with a black hole. A singularity in the space/time continuum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where did she come from? You can barely fathom her motives or whims. It&apos;s better to just steer yourself in the opposite direction at top speed. As fast as you possibly can...I mean, once you hit the intense gravity, you&apos;re headed straight for the event horizon. And I just barely avoided it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, positive things come out of it; people learn to warn each other of her presence and general direction, and it&apos;s horrifying watching other people headed straight for it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve never been so glad to be rid of someone for what I hope is for good, but there&apos;s one more encounter on the horizon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve never made a more awful and appropriate metaphor, and I think I&apos;m pretty happy with that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;No fade-in, film begins on a kid in the big city,&lt;br /&gt;and no cut to a costly parade that&apos;s for him only.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description>

  <description>Google has done it again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.ca/sms/&quot;&gt;Google SMS &lt;/a&gt;allows you to ask questions in a specific format via cell phone text messages (SMS) and get the answer almost-instantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How cool is that? It&apos;s free (minus the default text charge) too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example...texting &quot;300&quot; followed by your postal code to &quot;466453&quot; (Google) will send you all the showtimes for the movies 300 in hamilton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example 2: texting :&quot; G Andrew LLoyd webber born?&quot; will send you the first few web results from a google search...from which I got his birth date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example 3!: Sending :&quot; Blue Jays&quot; will send you the score of any current game, their last game, and the date of their next game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn&apos;t that incredible? Check out the website. You can play around with questions on it. &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve already played around a fair bit and my favourite one is driving directions.</description>
