1. Veronica Mars comrades:
another fan acquired. I'll take my toaster in shiny bright red, thank you.
2. I explain the place of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events in children's literature
here. No spoilers!
3. I think
this is one of the funniest scenes from The Office ever. If you haven't seen the show before, this is a 60 second clip that will give you an idea what it's like. Basically: bored at the office? Play football! It's a great idea. Reallllllly.
4. How to improve the Star Wars movies?
Add pants, of course. 5. Any other Neopets players here doing the current plot? If so, go
here for a clear explanation of one of the steps (the first of the three parts). I don't know why none of the help sites can explain this clearly. I was tearing my hair out until I found this comment. I might have to finish the meepit part tomorrow. I played the damn game twice, and the juice still isn't showing up in my inventory. On the bright side, I think that's the highest score I've ever gotten for that game. Still only paid out a measly 500 NPs though. One more thing: the Tarla toolbar giveaways? I've caught them THREE TIMES today, but of course I can only get one prize a day. Now if I can only catch it one time EACH DAY I'll be set. (Yes, the toolbar works in Firefox. I'm so happy!)

From
anortherngirl,
here 1. What is the first book you remember reading?
I hated reading as a kid. Strange for a self-confessed book worm, I know. In grade 4 there was a book the entire class had to read and do a book report on. I put it off and put it off, but when I finally read it - wow! That wasn't so bad! In fact, I kinda liked it. The book report I ended up writing was so good that the teacher accused me of cheating (I used a 'big word' that she said must have been on the back of the book, but wasn't). After that I found a few books in the library I loved, and then started reading and collecting my first book series - The Baby-Sitters' Club. I honestly have no idea what the names of the books I read before those are. :S
2. What is your favourite book? (If you can't pick one, give me your top 3 or 5)
Oh boy. I keep meaning to work on a list to post, that I can then edit as I remember things. I'm not good at pulling things out of my ass, unless I really intend to bullshit. And I don't mean to bullshit here. There are just so many categories - how can any one book be my Favourite of All Time? Okay, quick Top 3: Harry Potter (current), any L.J. Smith book (growing up) and Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel (and the rest!).
3. What was the last book you read?
All the way through? Dark Angel: Skin Game, by Max Allen Collins. I even wrote up notes to do a bit of a review here, but never got around to it. In short: I kinda hate the author. He keeps making allusions to Nazis and shit, and I just find his casual references and allusions disturbing.
4. Who is your favourite author?
Peter David. Fantasy/scifi/comic author extraordinaire. Favourites: 1. Supergirl comic (first 50 issues make a great read), 2. Star Trek: Q-Squared (parallel universes!), and 3. Star Trek: Imzadi (Deanna and Riker 4-evah!).
5. Where is your favourite place to read a book?
Curled up on my bed underneath a mound of blankets. And preferrably reading all through the night, so I have that nice exhausted reading 'hangover' glow the next day.
