To try to keep myself posting: nicked some bookly questions from such_heights! Because books are always relevant (and also don't insist on me being introspective when I am tired and fuzzy-brained, yay).

The book I am reading:
A Game of Thrones, which I am really enjoying despite having the feeling that 300 pages in the pieces are still being set in place and ( Read more... )

Because all the cool kids are doing it, and I am stagnating in writing as in all else: MEMERY.

Three Line Stories:
Leave me a prompt (or two), a pairing or character and/or a fandom and I will write you a three line fic.
Now I just live in terror of one of you wise-asses leaving me prompts for, like, Aladdin/Eowyn or something. BE NICE.

And now a meme, as I could definitely stand to post more often.

Today I finished my application essay and submitted my application to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Now begins the ritual panic!

A meme from vega_ofthe_lyre, in which I have never, ever been so long-winded before (well, okay, that is probably a lie; I am frequently long-winded).

Nicked from wanderlight (whose birthday it was yesterday: happy birthday, Rita!), as I am eager to write more entries that do not fall into the categories of Angst! Angst! Angst! and Stuff That I Did Today. Reading habits meme! Rita told her f-list all to do it, and I extend the same eager curiousity towards you lot as well! I love hearing about how other ( Read more... )

So, book meme. The sort of meme that doesn't leave a great deal of room for asides, nor does it give you lot very much to comment about, which is where you come in: ask me questions about these books.
