A favor...

[grindmonkeh]

If you're reading this, then you're GREAT and I regularly read your entries in turn...BUT I need more active users on my FL. If you would, recommend 2 or 3 of your favorite LJ friends that I might add as well. If you have more than 2 or 3 then you are the coolest.

*apple hiccup*

I'm going on Day 4(!) of no diet soda and no migraine. If this is a coincidence then it is convincing thus far, because I've had a migraine EVERY day for the last few months as I've been washing down either a Darvocet, Imiprex, or an over-the-counter every day with...diet soda. I'm not drawing any conclusions yet, but the last *severe* headache I've had was last Friday...the last time I had a Diet Mountain Dew. I'll see how this evidence holds up in a few days.

Most of my LJ friends have stopped posting, or post irregularly. You might like assmonkeydiary. He posts every day, about writing, film festivals, his bike commute to work, local eateries in town, etc. Very cool guy, too.

Interesting fella...I have to quickly scroll by the daily ass-shot before my co-workers see. Unless of course they're not within line of sight. Thank you, sir!

You are very welcome. Some of his pictures are spectacular. And his dedication is impressive - he has been posting daily for years.

Do you already have cinchntouch? I am having a brain fart and not sure. :)

Sorry I have not been as active of late. But I do enjoy your posts! :)

[grindbastard.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Added. And thanks!

I'm always so envious of the cool things you do and the places you go.

Have you had a regular soda since then? I'm just wondering if it's all cola in general. Though I'm sure it's mostly the diet. Whatever it is, glad your migraines are staying away. Those things aren't fun.

I also don't have a lot to offer on the LJ friends part. Most of my friends list don't post at all anymore, either. Hmm...

trailer_spot - He mostly posts new movie trailers as soon as they show up online, but he also posts his movie reviews and trip photos and such. Hell of a nice guy, too.

I haven't had any soda since the last Diet Coke I had on Sunday. I drank Mountain Dew for years before switching to Diet Dr. Pepper in May. The migraines began about the time I started drinking Diet Mountain Dew. The timeline is admittedly fuzzy for a number of reason:

1. I have little to no concept of time.
2. I've been to the doctor too many times since then and have been given a number of pills that put me in a haze (and did little for the migraines).
3. The migraines themselves left me unable to think/function effectively.

I've added trailer_spot...thanks for the recommendation.

naamah_darling is brilliant and funny and posts lots of pictures of her adorable kitties.

swankivy tells funny stories from work. She's also a writer.

Also, this is a comic feed, but if you don't read basic_inst_feed, you totally should.

And YAY! for no migraines! I hope the treatment stays that simple for you.

Great...thank you!

She's taking a short break but I really like the posts from anniejs. And today I just added drood. If you like travel, rogerdoger and mananath are globetrotters. What kind of stuff are you interested in reading more of? Life in general? Specific hobbies? Politics?

[grindbastard.livejournal.com]

People who write about anything, so long as they possess character and insight.

Hmmmm... active folks... who are also interesting... that gets tough :P

jblaque is good if you like recipes and left-wing anger.

superhappytime is good if you like stories about him getting it on with MILFs, some travel photos from time to time, and his creative fiction for LJ Idol. He also has the ability to piss people way the hell off, but he does it in a straightforward and honest way which I can respect.

ethel is a local from my area who has a great way of posting personal stuff in an interesting way. Plus, she's a total fucking geek and participates in Vilification Tennis... search for it on YouTube and giggle yourself stupid.

I, too, am missing some of my formerly productive LJ buddies.

"jblaque is good if you like recipes and left-wing anger."

Anger?

ANGER?!

I AM NOT ANGRY, GODDAMNIT!!

You can be affirmed that you have cool friends.
