Fire and White Lies
Because I'm slightly over-tired and should probably just go to bed. A book meme! gacked from wulfkub.
Book Meme
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
But even as the light of the coming sun shone pale in the far mists of Mithrim, Tuor heard voices, and looking down he saw in amazement two Elves that waded in the shallow water; and as they climbed up steps hewn in the bank, Tuor stood up and called to them. At once they drew their bright swords and sprang towards him. Then he saw that they were grey-cloaked but mail-clad under; and he marvelled, for they were fairer and more fell to look upon, because of the light of their eyes, than any of the Elven-folk that he yet had known.
Why those are the longest three sentences ever, I don't know. They are from Tolkien's Unfinished Tales which just so happens to actually be one of my favorite books, but it's near me for wonderful speculating and discussion on Children of Húrin.
Oh, and I found this channel on my cable, Logo, that's the gay channel. Most of the shows they air are really lame, soap opera-y things, but they have random episodes of Queer as Folk. Edited, yes, but I'm still not complaining.
