*jumps off bridge*
| Because my sister did it and I have an interesting book beside me at the moment: 1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you. "Regardless of who goes beating about his bushes, the bird remains the property of the husband." John Gower's Mirour de L'omme (Wilson trans.) This book is for a Medieval lit seminar about which I found myself saying to a (now) classmate: "Oh, that does sound like it would be a fun class to audit! My superhero alter-ego, Please Everyone Girl, strikes again. I have had a Bad Day and am feeling stompy, smashy, and weepy all in one big ball of frustration. I think I might go stomp on my personal statement, smash it, and then cry at it. In that order. |

I'm dumbfounded. I mean, I knew he was geeky, but this takes the cake, biscuit, scone, crumpet and macaroon.
Hope the shouty weepy thing eases off soon...

It really was the book at my reading chair.
