:(

I let someone borrow my Midol and now I don't remember who it was and I really need it back.

Also either I gained six pounds in two weeks or I'm retaining water, and I really hope it's the latter because it was incredibly fucking discouraging to see that number on the scale.

Ugh I hate being female sometimes. About one week out of every month actually. Ugh ugh ugh.

book meme!

femmealunettes: (nose-deep in a book : Sherlock)
Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] beggar_always:

☇ Take four books off your bookshelf.
☇ Write the first sentence
☇ Write the last sentence on page fifty
☇ Write the second sentence on page one hundred
☇ Write the next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
☇ Write the final sentence of the book
☇ Let your friends guess what book it is.


-1- Rant, Chuck Palahniuk
First sentence: Like most people, I didn't meet and talk to Rant Casey until after he was dead.
Last sentence on page 50: Funds was their money, to buy whatever they wanted.
Second sentence on page 100: At home, he had a closet full of shirts and pants and jeans and vests.
Next to last sentence on page 150: "Part of my strategying," Rant goes, his head turning to cover two quadrants, our three to nine o'clock.
Final sentence: Toni Wiedlin (Party Crasher) continues to participate in Party Crash events but denies all rumors that she's assumed the role of game organizer.

-2-
First sentence: The Deliverator belongs to an elite order, a hallowed sub-category.
Last sentence on page 50: The walls are lined with illuminated signs, each one bearing the image of some Old West desperado.
Second sentence on page 100: Outside in the yard, it was very hot and he felt bad.
Next to last sentence on page 150: "Well, she doesn't know that he killed the guy," Squeaky says.
Final sentence: "Yeah, home seems about right."

-3- The Golden Compass, Phillip Pullman
First sentence: Lyra and her daemon moved through the darkening hall, taking care to keep to one side, out of sight of the kitchen.
Last sentence on page 50:"So," she said, "sometime in the last two hours there must've been Gobblers here...."
Second sentence on page 100: Lyra listened enthralled to tales of the fen dwellers, of the great ghost dog Black Shuck, of the marsh fires arising from bubbles of witch oil, and began to think of herself as gyptian even before they reached the fens.
Next to last sentence on page 150: You will find him at the sledge depot at the end of Langlokur Street.
Final sentence: So Lyra and her daemon turned away from the world they were born in, and looked toward the sun, and walked into the sky.

-4- Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman
First sentence: The night before he went to London, Richard Mayhew was not enjoying himself.
Last sentence on page 50: Richard found himself remembering a theatrical production of Robinson Crusoe he had been taken to as a child: this was what Robinson Crusoe might have looked like, if he had been shipwrecked on a rooftop instead of a desert island.
Second sentence on page 100: "Do you like it?" she asked.
Next to last sentence on page 150: The little gray man blinked shortsightedly at Richard as Richard grabbed him, and then he said, lugubriously, "Sorry about that."
Final sentence: And they walked away together through the hole in the wall, back into the darkness, leaving nothing behind them; not even the doorway.
