Bits and Pieces
Apr. 27th, 2010 12:01 amOk, almost every summary in the meme was guessed right, but there were three no one could figure out. Granted, one is incredibly vague, and the other quite obscure, so I figure none of this "clue" shit, I'll just tell you straight up.
8. Women do important things and have lots of romance. Holy vagueness, Batman! I chose this one specifically because it was so ridiculously non-specific. It is actually about a series of books by Tamora Pierce, the Tortall series. The description of the first book says something about a red-haired girl becoming a professional cross-dresser... anyhow, great series, love them to death, go read!
9. Teenagers fight Satan by reading aloud from stolen library books. I was actually a little sad that no one guessed the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane. These were some of my favorite books growing up, and for years I waited for a book to literally snag me as I went by and tell me how to become a wizard. Sigh!
18. An unusual little girl with variably-colored hair engages in a number of bizarre and surreal adventures, accidentally wiping out all life on earth in the process. Stupidly obscure, but this is the webcomic minus, which can be read here. I highly recommend it! Gorgeous art, whimsical story.
Onto other stuff! The semester is wrapping up and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Have to finish writing a group paper (guess what I'm doing tomorrow!) plus take four exams starting Saturday and ending Tuesday. Jesus. I'm not taking classes this summer so my parents won't be supporting me, which means I'll be working full time at the coffee shop in order to support myself. Nothing wrong with that at all, its just one more thing that I don't want to think about now. I also need to figure out transferring into the University of Maryland, one more semester of online courses and I'll be begging to be shot in the face. (Oh, he's not here? Never mind!)
Gold Motel this Thursday! Empires in a couple of weeks! Summer is soon! Need to start riding my bike again, and actually working out instead of just talking about it. Rock on.
