SNAKES ON AN LJ!!
I've been tagged. Well, I guess I'll just go ahead and do the silly little 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 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.
6. Tag five people.
The nearest book just happens to be Moby Dick. No, really. I'm quite determined to finish this book some day, if only because I wanted to read it when I was a little kid. (Yes, Holly, I know you don't like it; Jeff told me. =P)
So here goes.
"'It's very queer. Stop, Stubb; somehow, now, I don't well know whether to go back and strike him or-what's that?-down here on my knees and pray for him? Yes, that was the thought coming up in me; but it would be the first time I ever did pray. It's queer; very queer; and he's queer too; aye, take him fore and aft, he's about the queerest old man Stubb ever sailed with."
The line of dialogue actually goes on from there. He uses a lot of semicolons, huh? Weird.
I don't want to tag people. So if you want to, go ahead; if not, good for you =P
