Dark Angel, "Fuhgeddaboudit" (2x15):
Logan to Alec: "-it must be nice to be a happy-go-lucky sociopath. Kinda envy you."
Save that Alec hasn't really expressed sociopathic tendencies, imo. On the contrary, he's rather happy to be spending time with people...
But Mia's grating on my nerves...
I thought of doing a couple of memes I've seen around lately.
I swear, I'll be putting together a picspam of what's been eating my time during this summer one of these days...

Seen in rivers_bend, tj_smartz and hugemind's LJs. At least.
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you. I believe memes are supposed to be a fun pastime.
The History of Corporal Punishment by George Ryley Scott:
    "During the past forty years, and especially since the Second World War, we have witnessed the development of greater toleration and freedom of expression in many realms of literature, particularly in the fields of Biblical criticism and of sex. But prejudice, resentment and fanaticism still abound, ready to rear their ugly countenance if public opinion will permit it. Even in 1967 one of the Beatles got himself and his group into trouble for having made the perfectly true, if indiscreet assertion that among the younger generation today the Beatles are better known than Jesus Christ."



1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.
The hardness was paring it down to five...because of that, I tried not to repeat bands/artists.
tj_smartz gave me the letter 'S'.
1. Spite & Malice by Placebo
2. Serpent Dream by Mike Oldfield (instrumental)
3. Siuil A Run by Clannad
4. Shame by Depeche Mode
5. Sympathy for the Devil by Rolling Stones/Guns'n'Roses
hugemind suggested the letter 'N'.
1. Numb by Linkin Park
2. Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
3. Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns) by Blind Guardian
4. Near Dark by Agathodaimon
5. Naked In the Rain by Dio
That last song, btw, knocks me right back to sniffling over the Winchesters.
    "Two children
    Guns loaded
    Take aim and blow all the dreams away
    Too late for anything better to say"

As long as I can remember, if 'everyone' is talking about something, I've avoided it like the plague, whether it's a book, a movie, or a graphic novel/comic. There are exceptions to this rule, but generally it holds true: when I read Lord of the Rings the first time, I had never heard of Tolkien or Middle Earth before. Same goes for the Terminator- and Blade Runner-franchises.
Of course, recommendations coming from people whose taste I trust weigh heavily on occasion.
1. Bold the movies you've seen.
