"You think you've found somebody, so suddenly my program gets the ax?" Lissar parted her lips a little and flared her nostrils, and Viaka remembered something her parents had said of the little queen: "When she lets her lower lip drop a little, and her chin comes up and her nostrils flare -- get out of the way! If she notices you, you'll be sorry." He knew not what it was -- "something in the solar system or galazy" -- but, again, he pushed himsef in opposition to the establishment: Darwinian paleontologists favor the gradual, undirected view of natural history, so "most paleontologists have reacted negatively to periodicity." Yet none of them died, they only changed, were always reborn, continually had a new face: only time stood between one face and another. And chances are if he asks for a glass of milk, he's going to want a cookie to go with it.

You have way too much time on your hands. :p

Random books?

[bekahbeans]

actually right now I do. *hangs head* :p

Are you asking if you're supposed to pick random books or if my books were random?

[db44]

Both I guess.

[bekahbeans]

Well I just kinda looked up at my closest bookshelf and picked 5 books I thought were coo.

And yes, I think they're supposed to be random.

*ahem* Your turn!

[bekahbeans]

I wish you weren't so lazy too.

"If she was, like, six inches taller, he could rest his chin in her cleavage," Blair Waldorf observed as she watched her ex-boyfriend, Nate Archibald, dancing with Jenny Humphrey, the short and extremely buxom ninth grader for whom Nate had unexplainably ditched Blair only a few weeks ago. You never know. He thought of asking Mr Castle what he thought was wrong with the poem. At midnight he'd kissed her. Because at that moment all Anna wanted was Ben, and for once in her overplanned, oh-so-cautious good-girl life, she just didn't give a damn."

"Egypt has the longest continuous history of any country." "'Especially when everyone can't move because you guys have got it so's the carts are backed up all round the block and no one can move because everyone's in someone else's way, right?'" "'And suggest that all Halls keep guard at night,' Flar said." "As they turned to walk out on the ledge, Nora glanced back at the reverse spirals on the wall behind the ruin." "She Leaned on the balcony railing, waiting for the end of the world."

She had always liked the landlord, Mr. Beaman. And now, I was doing it everyday."Yeah, " she said, adjusting the flame under the pan,"that's just what I need." "What she said about your weight, that was just etiquette," Dad answered.I could say that much and know that I was speaking the truth.

That kinda made sense.
