((Because...yeah, I know LJ better and Giry seemed the type to go old school and want to avoid a good lot of the teenyboppers on MySpace. Damn kids and your loud mp3s.))
So as I'm not entirely certain what to begin with, I've decided to try this "Loaded Questions" meme I've heard about. Four questions, four answers. It seems fairly simple. Here we are:
Hypotheticals: If you could bathe in a vat of any drink or food item, what would you choose? ...Wine or brandy would seem the most sanitary.
Anything Goes: What world-changing event would you like to take credit for? Creation of the universe.
No-Brainers: What song do you keep hearing over and over again? There's this damn annoying harpsichord riff that plays every time my husband enters a room.
Personals: What are you most proud of? My family.
...well, that's it, I suppose, for my first entry. Strange kind of journal.
Current Mood: calm Current Music: Frou Frou - Must Be Dreaming ((if she has an LJ, she can have an iPod, too.)) Current Location: the mansion outside the city

Current mood: terrified Current music: the screams of the damned Current location: beside the river styx/the lake on my estate.
((Will there be WiFi in Hell?))
