My name is Sarah. I am 23. People always say I look much younger. Birds are my favorite animal. I have an obsession with waterfalls. I quit modeling because of how empty it made me feel. I've had a poem published. I have Generalized Anxiety disorder. I hate being drunk. I like being in control of myself. I am bisexual. I think an honest politician is an oxymoron. I've had depression on and off since 2001. People say that I don't "look depressed." It's because I have a smile most of the time, even when I'm hurting inside. I am 100% real. I don't act fake to please people. I am allergic to caffeine. I am very open minded. I've never tried drugs. My biggest pet peeve are people who are two-faced. I am honest, no matter what. I don't believe in labels. I can't live without comedy. I love classic lit. I am a comment whore. I comment on random live journals. I want to live in Seattle someday. Even though I'm 5'9, I wear heels sometimes. My eyes change from aqua to gunmetal gray, depending on my mood. I love to study psychology, sociology, philosophy, photography, and meteorology. I'm mostly German. I have an incredibly dysfunctional family.

Hmmm, hello. my name is Gabriela. I'm 18. Brazilian. Loves books, music and movies. Check out my user info for more. Looking for friends who are willing to comment and keep in touch. Got my lj account recently and still learning how to use, I guess I'm doing well lol. I intend to use it to post about random stuff, daily life, pictures, writing and being active in fandoms. That's pretty much it, thanks :)

My journal is a purpose-driven journal covering a somewhat obscure lifestyle (onnagirai), and as such it also deals with anime/yaoi, culture, Japanese history, and other related stuff. But in reality it is a journal about my hapless stumbling through life as a seme looking for an uke to compliment him. I use all of the other things to clarify points or demonstrate where traditions and things come from, but it is pretty much just about me and my relationships or lack thereof. The earlier posts are faqs and general info. Because I understand people use lj in places other than their home, all entries are put behind cuts for your viewing convenience. There is no nudity or explicit images of any kind (though you will from time to time find ukiyo-e), but discussion of sex and sexuality can and does happen. /disclaimer
I would love to have people who would be interested in the seme/uke dynamic in hopes of keeping me posting more. I tend to put this journal on the backburner, and I don't want to be because it is important to me. Also, it would be great to have people suggest topics for me to cover or pose questions for me to answer. I'm always looking for new material to write about, and because I'm not on the outside looking in, there are some things it would never occur to me to write about.
My journal is 100% public 100% of the time, so you are welcome to test drive it, or even read without friending if you like the content. I also don't care about commenting, though if there's something you are interested in knowing more about you can always comment anonymously. Oh, and I'm not secretly a community spambot. My journal is mine.
Hope I'll see some of you in my friends list!

Dear ONEers,
The Copenhagen climate change summit is now underway. It is imperative that the necessary decisions and actions are taken. Key among these is to allocate adequate additional resources to enable the developing countries, which with inevitable unfairness are worst affected, to cope with the effects of climate change.
Please forward this email to three friends and ask them to sign ONE’s petition to the Danish Prime Minister to take the lead in doing so:
http://www.one.org/international/actnow/copenhagen/?rc=copfrd
Last week I was back in Ethiopia, and the question I’m always asked is, of course, is it all worth it, what’s changed in Ethiopia and in Africa as a whole? A great deal, I answer – for both better and worse.
On the positive front, economic growth has boomed; indeed, next year Ethiopia is expected to be among the top five fastest growing economies in the world. Education enrolment has been doubled, malaria death rates halved and HIV/AIDS is on the decline. Mobile phones are spreading and rural roads are linking remote communities to markets and health and education services. Above all, though too many people are still reliant on food aid, famine will be avoided this year as it has for the last 18 years, as distribution and early warning systems have improved. Certainly, the government could be more transparent, but on the whole this is a country making progress, in a continent that has been doing likewise.
Then there is the negative change—that of the climate. Increasingly erratic rainfall has forced farmers to radically alter their systems. Some communities we visited in Tigray have had to rename the months of the year because the names were based on the seasons. They’ve now given up as the pattern of the seasons has changed so quickly. People told us how reduced rainfall has cut their income from farming. This in turn strains the social fabric. Thefts are becoming more common, and the children are having to go to work instead of school.
The tension between the positive and negative changes in Ethiopia is palpable. Which direction wins depends on the choices Ethiopians make, and to some extent upon us. And it’s not all about us having to make sacrifices; there are opportunities too. There’s an inevitability to the way our own economies are adapting – and an economic rationale for us to buy into this change. The inefficiencies of the hydrocarbon economy will be replaced by clean renewables; carbon finance trading will be a major industry in the near future, and ‘green’ jobs are the fastest expanding new source of employment. Growing trees to capture carbon could become a new cash crop for African farmers if the right framework is agreed in Copenhagen.
Ethiopia’s Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, Africa’s lead negotiator at Copenhagen, told me wearily that he is sceptical about the international community’s “funny money” and double accounting. We talked about the promises of new money for agricultural investment made by the G8 at their summit in Italy last summer, money to tackle the global food crisis. We talked about the possible pledges of funds to help poor countries adapt to climate change that could come out of Copenhagen. He fears both may well involve money already pledged elsewhere. He has every reason to be jaundiced.
You can help by asking your friends to join you in taking action:
http://www.one.org/international/actnow/copenhagen/?rc=copfrd
Twenty five years ago, the story was one of Africa starving. Now, in spite of ongoing food shortages in some regions, there is a new story. It is a story backed by hard statistics, of an Africa rising. The last continent to be developed, with a burgeoning middle class and 900 million producers and consumers, Africa is where some of the best returns on investment will be made in the next few decades. We must partner as we have promised for the sake of our global economy as well as our global environment, because in another 25 years we may just need them more than they need us.
Thank you,
Bob Geldof, ONE Campaigner

Then Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death."
And he said:
You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
--- From The Prophet, by Khalil Gibran

The entire township of Fatehpur Sikri was built as an obeisance to the muslim saint Salim Chisti by Emperor Akbar with whose blessings the empeor had a son - heir to throne.

Hello there. :D My name is Amanda, I'm 19 and I live in Kentucky, I hate the stereotype that everyone from Kentucky is a hick, or doesn't wear shoes. I wear shoes. I love shoes.
I write about whatever comes to mind whether it be my family, my cat, a book I read, a social issue, or even random shit that may not make sense. I've been off and on LJ for a couple years now, but one of my new years resolutions is to actually keep a journal and not keep everything so bottled up.I love reading journals and leaving comments, I'd love to find someone who likes to do the same, it's not fun baring your soul and not having anyone read it. I love music, I love my pet fish, I love my boyfriend, I love life. I think I'm interesting, why don't you see for yourself?

jo, 21/f/the projects of southwestern PA i work at a horse racetrack and live in a hair salon and spend my weekends alone watching roseanne because i have no friends irl lulz. i'm only slightly less boring than that makes me sound; most of my entries are about how much feces my hair has accumulated that day, so on so forth. horses poop a lot.
i don't really care if you like ~kitties and cigarettes and black and white photography~ as that would have nothing to do with... anything. derrr. (cigarettes are for pussies, anyway - if you're trying to look hardcore then cigars are the way to go kids)
anyway, i have public entries :O! go to them, my kittens
obligatory picture of me doing nothing in particular at 3am:

New and need friends. Yes, I'm aware ridiculously small font is obnoxious but I feel better using it here. I'm insecure when I have to write my thoughts down because I never know how to express myself. It's a curse.
I'm kind of a lonely girl. I make up for the emptiness I feel inside by going to raves and expressing myself through dancing. I'm also a very friendly girl and sometimes people mistake that for being clingy. Boys mostly. They're kind of right. When I get a boyfriend I tend to cling onto whatever love he gives me because Like Vicky from Desperate Housewives says.. I'm trying to fill up my Love tank. So every little drop counts.
I feel like I've told you guys nothing yet a lot about myself. If you care even slightly.. add me?

My name is Staci. I am eighteen years old. I live in a boring state and hope to change that as soon as I’m done with school. I’d love to move down south someday. I'm generally a very positive person and I'm always looking on the bright side of things. :)
I am new to livejournal. Just started last night and I’m still getting the hang of things. I would like to meet some new people on here that I can share my life with and that they can share their life with me. It’d be great to meet some new friends!
Some things I like: Watching Gossip Girl [best show ever], Playing in the rain/snow, Going to movies, Partying, Hanging out with my best friends, Drinking, Spending time with my family, Having fun, Going to hockey games, Reading good books, Getting educated/smarter, Traveling, Long road trips, Getting high, I’m not really sure what to write haha
I’m sorry this is super lame and boring but I don’t know what I’m doing. Wanna be friend’s? Just add me and leave a comment and I’ll add you back :) Oh and as for a picture.. I’ll have one in my journal but I don’t feel comfortable adding one on this!!
I look forward to meeting you!
