You have some serious issues with the classics
* Firstly, a meme, stolen from dexterette:
You're To Kill a Mockingbird!
by Harper Lee
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have
changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've
also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to
persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you,
but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you
whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
I find it extremely displeasing, yet kind of oddly ironic, that the Book Quiz pegged me as To Kill a Mockingbird, considering that I despise that book and wanted to burn it one horrid page at a time when we had finally finished the section on it in Freshman English. I LOVE reading, and I've never felt such abhorrance for a piece of fiction before. I can't really explain why - I just know that with every hickish word I was forced to read, I wanted to gauge my eyes out with a spoon.
* Secondly, usedtobending pointed me in the direction of this website, aka Goodreads.com.
AGH! And WHAT'S the first book that pops up the "Most Popular Books" list on my great big welcome to Goodreads.com??? TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD! It's a freakin' omen, I swear. This book will follow me to my grave. Obviously no good will come of my joining this site.
Anyway, if you're on Goodreads.com, feel free to friend me so I can steal book recs from you :D
* Thirdly, I'm almost done with Eclipse. I just finished reading Chapter 24: Snap Decision, and my heart is freaking RACING. OMG I can't believe it's almost over! *WOEFULNESS*
* Fourthly, I've kind of started apartment hunting. Who knows if anything will come of it, but I'm looking.
* Anf fifthly, ASTERIKS!! *kisses* blushingblaze! ;)
ETA: Sixthly, this fucking ADORABLE video of an orphaned lion being reunited with his people parents a year after being released into the wild. You will fucking cry like a leaky faucet. SRSLY.
ETA 2: More on Christian the lion. Seriously, HOW freaking ADORABLE (and yes, I'm using the word "ADORABLE" again)
Sometimes, he'd see people staring at him through the back window of the car, keep very still on purpose - and then, just when they were convinced he was a stuffed toy, he would very slowly turn his head and freak them out.
Ahahahaha.
