Soon, I will have time to read again

Book meme snagged from [livejournal.com profile] xandgunn.

1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph:


“Honey?” Kit stuffed his hands into his pockets, hunching his shoulders a little.

“What?”

He reached out and took her hand in the darkness. “You are the magic of possibilities.”


...That actually made sense. I’d read it.

The books, in order:

Visser by K.A. Applegate
Wizards at War by Diane Duane
The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson
Melusine by Lynne Reid Banks
Shiva’s Fire by Suzanne Fisher Staples

Palin Names Meme

Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] ladybug218 because this is way too good to pass up.

Sarah Palin married her high school boyfriend, Todd Palin, on August 29, 1988. The Palin family lives in Wasilla, about 45 miles (72 km) north of Anchorage. The Palins have two sons (Track, 19, and Trig, four months) and three daughters (Bristol, 17; Willow, 14; and Piper, 7) [ages as of August 2008]. Todd Palin has said Track's name came from the interest Sarah's parents had in the sport and the fact that he was born in the sport's season; Bristol was named after Bristol Bay in Alaska, where Todd grew up and where he does commercial fishing; Willow was named after Willow, Alaska; Piper got her name because it is uncommon and "a cool name"; Trig's name is Norse for "strength".

1)Your first-born will be named after your parents favorite sport:
Tennis.
Oh, the poor child.

2)Your second-born will be named after a nearby area that you're not from but you like the sound of part of the name, and maybe you have nostalgic memories of said place:
Batavia.
I nearly went with Danny, but I think Batavia sounds pretty cool...

3)Your third-born will be named after another nearby place, for no reason other than you already have two children and don't have time to put much thought into another name:
Jasper.
Look at that! It's actually a name!

4)Your fourth gets a "cool" name:
Ellery.
From the helpful Cool Baby Names list.

5)Your fifth gets something mythological, possibly straight out of Lord of the Rings:
Melusine.
I was very, very close to leaving it at Eowyn, but how awesome is Melusine?

NCIS quote meme

From [livejournal.com profile] curly_the_sue.

When you see this post, put a quote from NCIS in your journal.

Abby: Oh, this cab is bringing back memories. Cheap vinyl, plastic divider, dirty floor. Actually, these floors are pretty clean. The ones I remember were dirty.
McGee: Let me guess, short-lived career as a cabbie?
Abby: Short-lived encounter. Ships in the night.
McGee: Oooh.
Abby: My first time.
Ziva: For what?
McGee: Front seat or back?
Abby: Back. Well, both, kind of.
Ziva: Oh! My first time was in a weapons carrier.
McGee and Abby: Of course it was.

Five things meme

So, you know, I keep writing...

Comment with a topic of five things that never happened with a character and I will write it out. Or five things you want to know about a character. Or five things that perhaps happened to a character but we didn't see in canon. Frankly, we've got plenty of options.

Drabbles Meme

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it’s over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.
