  <link>http://boyinabasement.livejournal.com/39042.html</link>
  <description>In this survey thingy, you tell me if you want to play, and I&apos;ll give you five things to talk about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you wanna ask me more shit, go ahead, this is fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My five, as given by the fantabulous &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_lalalemons&apos; lj:user=&apos;lalalemons&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://lalalemons.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://lalalemons.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;lalalemons&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;, inventor of &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 153, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CAKEWURST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(tm).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The place you live&lt;br /&gt;2. DBZ&lt;br /&gt;3. Fanime&lt;br /&gt;4. College &amp;lt;:1 &lt;br /&gt;5. Music awwww yeah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;METHDESTO,&amp;nbsp;CALIFAS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt; - What&apos;s there to say about Modesto that hasn&apos;t already been said. &amp;nbsp;It&apos;s an awful, violent place, where Meth labs, car theft, and pretentious hipsters run rampant, but hey, it&apos;s home. &amp;nbsp;It&apos;s not all bad though, it&apos;s close enough to the bay area where a drive isn&apos;t unbearable. &amp;nbsp;There are occasionally a few good shows, and the Queen&amp;nbsp;Bean open mic night is usually fun. &amp;nbsp;Also,&amp;nbsp;Taco&amp;nbsp;Trucks rock tits beyond belief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: larger;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ja&quot; xml:lang=&quot;ja&quot; class=&quot;t_nihongo_kanji&quot;&gt;ドラゴンボール&amp;nbsp;Z&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; class=&quot;t_nihongo_comma&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Goddamn, the Dragon&amp;nbsp;Ball franchise is what made the person standing before you today. &amp;nbsp;From the first time Raditz killed the Farmer-With-Shotgun on the airwaves of telemundo, I was hooked and never looked back.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It introduced me to the artform that many like to call &lt;u&gt;Slant Eyed Cartoons&lt;/u&gt;, and to NIP-pon as a whole.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;There was a period that I kinda regret, in middle school, I renounced my love of DBZ&amp;nbsp;in favor of more &amp;quot;underground&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;mature&amp;quot; fare (how this included Inuyasha, I have no clue), and I&apos;m filled with remorse for it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I will never shun Dragon&amp;nbsp;Ball ever again, and it will always hold a place in my heart&amp;nbsp;(Yes... even GT)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;FANIME! &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;- Ho snap, this one is a fucking doozy.&amp;nbsp; 07 wasn&apos;t the greatest year for me, but a lot of good did come from it like meeting Brandi and Avara.&amp;nbsp; 08 I missed due to INSANE&amp;nbsp;ILLNESS.&amp;nbsp; 09 was fucking incredible though!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;4 days with no phone no hotel room and no sleep, goddamn I was hardcore. &amp;nbsp;I met so many fucking cool people like&amp;nbsp;Kyoobi(IM&amp;nbsp;SO&amp;nbsp;FUCKING&amp;nbsp;HAPPY&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;FINALLY&amp;nbsp;GOT&amp;nbsp;TO&amp;nbsp;MEET&amp;nbsp;YOU&amp;nbsp;IN&amp;nbsp;PERSON ;_:), Maggie (who better bring the &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 153, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CAKEWURST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(tm) next year), Miranda, Beanie Man, Kentaro,&amp;nbsp;Misty, and the list goes on and on. &amp;nbsp;Many great things happened, like Brandi&apos;s boyfran nearly knocking me out due to mistaken identity, or midnight Jack in the Box excursions, or walking in on Gay Bathroom sex, or pwning people in E-Gaming.&amp;nbsp; As rad as 2009 was, 2010 will top it, as I will have a hotel, a costume, and moar moneh and KERRIE&amp;nbsp;WILL&amp;nbsp;BE&amp;nbsp;COMING&amp;nbsp;WITH&amp;nbsp;ME&amp;nbsp;D&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COLLEGE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;-&amp;nbsp;There&apos;s really not much to say. &amp;nbsp;It hasn&apos;t started yet, and won&apos;t be much of a start.&amp;nbsp; All the prereqs I need to enroll in the Radiology program are full, so I&apos;m taking classes I don&apos;t need to keep units up. &amp;nbsp;It will be fun though. &amp;nbsp;Music Appreciation,&amp;nbsp;Music Theory, and Synth Composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MUSIC&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Lately,&amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve been bumping a lot of stoner rock stuff due to Julian&apos;s influence. &amp;nbsp;Queens of the Stone Age,&amp;nbsp;Kyuss,&amp;nbsp;Desert Sessions,&amp;nbsp;Nebula, Electric Wizard and so on and so forth. &amp;nbsp;Still bumping the Wu-Tang on a daily basis, but my perrenial favorites remain&amp;nbsp;The Smiths,&amp;nbsp;X-Japan, Nine Inch&amp;nbsp;Nails, Wu-Tang, Queen,&amp;nbsp;Iron&amp;nbsp;Maiden, and John&amp;nbsp;Coltrane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT:&amp;nbsp; Ho shit, I ruined my formatting and had to do this from the ground up again.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s okay, because I feel like this is more entertaining.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>Tonight, I read at the Queen Bean once again.  It was pretty rad.  I was amidst awesome company(Jaybo, Linds, Dillhole), and just had rad adventures.  I also got some closure by way of anticlimax.  I&apos;m glad that Karson didn&apos;t try the whole &quot;lets be friends&quot; thing and just left things as is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some guy tried to sell rock to Julian, Andrew, Dan and I near the tacotrucks.  What the fuck&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also; I reconnected with someone I haven&apos;t seen since 3rd grade tonight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, as always, the lovely and talented Miss Reggie Ginn performed an awesome fucking set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no idea what I&apos;m on about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m going to bed. Peace.</description>

  <title>Lucidity</title>
  <link>http://boyinabasement.livejournal.com/37763.html</link>
  <description>&quot;A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that he is dreaming. When the dreamer is lucid, they can actively participate in and often manipulate the imaginary experiences in the dream environment. Lucid dreams can be extremely real and vivid depending on a person&apos;s level of self-awareness during the lucid dream.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a phenomenon that I&apos;ve been infatuated with from a young age. Lucid Dreaming was a state I had constantly wished to achieve, but rarely succeeded in. Those elusive moments had mostly occurred in my overtly-hormonally charged middle school years.  As a result, I&apos;ve wasted the state on dream sex, with no backstory, and no fully-intensive world to go along with it.  The later occasions where I have reached this state can be summarized in one phrase, &quot;Too little too late.&quot;, as I had woke up shortly after my awareness during the dream.  Eventually, I had began to care less and less for this state, and it had been become an afterthought in my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If that is the case, then why do I even bother recollecting these rare events?  As it turns out, this state has become increasingly accessible to me.  In my sleep, I have been creating this complex, intricate world that I have become absolutely enamored with.  This is a world with technologies not unlike our own, however they are assembled with cogs, clockwork, and brass.  A bizarre fusion of the 21st century and the 19th, where the regal ships of Britain&apos;s great navy rule the sky rather than the sea.  And I, Sam Vigil, am not a directionless high school graduate, but a swashbuckler among the clouds, re-appropriating goods owned by the tyrannical overlords to distribute among the poor.  It&apos;s a world that is filled with adventure, where I have no responsibilities or expectations thrust upon me, yet I have some sort of a purpose.  This idyllic place that lies in my mind has remained my awaited destination throughout the day for the past week or so, but my infatuation for it has left me increasingly unsettled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve come to believe that my recent developments in the world of lucid dreaming is a direct result of my fears of the future.  I currently have no direction, and as the days go on I&apos;ve been becoming increasingly terrified for what lies ahead.  Because of this, my recent lucidity may seem like the perfect outlet, but I&apos;m afraid that it will spoil actual life for me.  At first, I could go lucid without a thought, because it seemed like fun.  Now, it feels like it has been becoming mindless escapism, no different than drug use or drinking.  A defense mechanism to keep my eyes averted from the real world.  I feel tethered to this romantic steampunk world, a place where my fears and inadequacies vanish.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My final summation; my point?&lt;br /&gt;None, this is just a bizarre rant of my thoughts, fears, and experiences with lucid dreaming.  It may have stopped abruptly, but it&apos;s also where my train of thought had ended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I might be able to explain this better to you via conversation, which is always welcome&lt;br /&gt;AIM: Remi Leopold&lt;br /&gt;If you&apos;re interested that is.</description>
