Memomancy!

The page 58 meme:

Pick the nearest book to you. Turn to page 58. Skip down 7 lines to the first full sentence. This describes your life so far.

From Riveted by Meljean Brook:

“Less than an hour remained until first watch began.”

I do feel as if I’ve spent an enormous amount of my life just waiting around…

So Marshall gave me a story to read in the 2005 edition of The Best American Short Stories anthology, so there is actually a fiction book on my desk. This is the line I got:

The school in the Heights, on the other hand, is populated by the children of academics who live on wooded hillside lots that offer panoramic views of our valley. "Eight Pieces for the Left Hand" by J. Robert Lennon

Which could sum up my life quite nicely up until now.

lol--don't you just love memomancy? I often think of you in conjunction with lofty heights. :-)

[stillnotbored.livejournal.com]

Heh. As in aspiring to, maybe. I've been down in that valley my whole life.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Me, too, but lofty nonetheless. ;-)

I got 'appearances were deceiving'.

Umm... I've got a DELL pulp. "That Egyptian Woman", by Noel Gerson:

"And she was ever conscious of her rank, too, in spite of her flamboyance; the tilt of her chin, the set of her shoulders, her stance were as dignified as they were provocative."

Oh, my!

Well, you know, you do have a certain dignity, flamboyance, and well-tilted chin. :-D

And terribly self-conscious, too. And rank. Especially now, returning from the gym.

Well, I wasn't going to mention the rank...ahem.
