1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favourite lyric to your current favourite song. Or your favourite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

Quick 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 4-7 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 (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.

I say nothing. Cordelia gets down off her windowsill and slides up onto mine, sitting close beside me. "We're enjoying it extremely, thank you very much," she says in her voice for adults. My parents think she has beautiful manners. She puts an arm around me, gives me a little squeeze, a squeeze of complicity, of instruction. Everything will be all right as long as I sit still, say nothing, reveal nothing. I will be saved then, I will be acceptable once more. I smile, tremulous with relief, with gratitude.
- Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood

I'm sort of in a Margaret Atwood phase at the moment. I loved The Handmaiden's Tale and The Blind Assassin and I just got through with Oryx and Crake. I need to actually find time to read this one. It's probably due back at the library soon.

Yet another new show for me. Heroes!! Love it! Nathan and Peter are such good brothers. Like, Sam-and-Dean good brothers. The show does conflict with 24 though. That could be a problem.

Save the cheerleader. Save the world.
