1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.

4. Least hapless LJ denizen wins admiration. That's right, just like a lobbyist in budget season, the points don't matter.

13. ...I saw him when he first walked in. I thought it was a vision of him. He was looking like where he'd been, looking kind of fragile.
14. ...A rich, beautiful thing, a cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and a saint. And you were just a backstreet girl, hustling and fighting, scratching and biting.
