Arguably one of LiveJournal’s most attractive features is the option to indicate what music you’re listening to when you write entries. I know people who sometimes come up with posts just because they want everyone to know what song they’re playing.

He figured out that if he stuck with "modified-carbohydrate diet," as he had called it since 1997, no one would listen. We like to think about hot people when we're denying ourselves...
