I got XTC, Tom Petty, and Alanis Morissette CDs today!
Naturally, I am dismayed at Livejournal reaching new, untouched levels of idiocy by deleting the Basic Account option for new users. Like certain wise people (only with more laziness), I am honestly thinking about striking out on my own and just reading/reposting here.

It's quarter to midnight? Okay, I gotta go to bed - ciao!
