Feb. 19th, 2010 07:50 pmThing the first and MOST IMPORTANT: I WILL LOVE
genarti FOREVER AND EVER, and THIS IS WHY.
(Okay, there are in fact COUNTLESS reasons why, but Fullmetal Alchemist ANGST BINGO CARDS are high up there on that list! No spoilers, MUCH HILARITY.)
Thing the second:
in_the_blue tagged me for a meme!
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.
"But the kai el'Sol had spoken.
Jevri attended them, boy and girl; Jevri made clear - to the wife, not the husband - that the boy's welfare and sanity depended on her ability to keep him still. Jevri was wise, and although Marakas had acknowledged that fact from the first day they had met, he found it a surprise and a blessing to be so often reacquainted with the knowledge.
As for himself, he was given leave to draw his sword."
- Michelle West, The Riven Shield
(Oh, Michelle West. I am very fond of your books, but this passage does not really show off your deathless prose. It does show off your fondness for Ridiculous Fantasy Names, however. My favorite is how the commanders of the army are named Valedan kai di'Leonne, Ellora AKalakar . . . and Bruce Allen.)
I am not tagging five people. Instead I will say, if you have a book near you right now and you are reading this, just do it! I have an insatiable curiosity about what people are reading.
Thing the third:
shoroko tagged me for another meme!
Rules: Listseven eight songs (
birdseyeview added one) you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your fall (winter?). Post these instructions in your LJ along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. (Still not tagging people. But do it if you want!)
This is a long one and so I am putting it ( under a cut. )
Thing the fourth: no seriously, I'm still expiring of joy over the bingo cards.
