		<description>Or are you memorex? Anyways, with my characters, I try to quit being me.  I see a character as a lump of clay. The clay in and of itself has its own unique chemical composition and artistic qualities, but is still relatively undefined. I then throw each lump of clay into its own personal situations, conditions, etc., and see how it acts and reacts and is thus sculpted up to the point where the story begins, then the reader gets come along for the ride.  As for myself, sadly, I am a bigger fan of self introspection than publicized introspection. I lack the confidence and courage for that arena.</description>

		<description>It totally made sense. And the judge seemed pretty over the whole Lindsay Lohan thing, so she might refuse early release. But they have a long-standing practice of letting non-violent offenders out early because they have such extreme over-crowding down there.</description>

		<description>Most 90 day sentences are served in full, actually.  Particularly when they&#039;re for a probation violation, because then they&#039;re not probationable.  If that makes sense.  You&#039;re being punished, not for the original offense (which may be probationable), but for breaking probation.  So, instead of a sentence, it&#039;s actually a sanction.  That make sense?  I swear it makes sense in my head....</description>
