That meme everyone is doing

Pick up the nearest book to you.
Turn to page 45.
The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

It was also the most diverse Cabinet in history.


...That sounds a bit promising.

"Not that one." Next sentence: "I pass."

Thanks, book. I already figured it out. *g*

You win over me: "Gudea was an important ruler (ensi) of ancient Lagash, a Sumerian city-state in southern Mesopotamia, between the fall of the previous empire of Agade (ca. 2350-2193 BC; located further north in the Tigris and Euphrates alluvium) founded by the Semite Sargon the Great, and the establishment of the Ur III Empire (2112-2004 BC) founded by the Sumerian Ur-Nammu (2112-2095 BC; based at Ur, along the southern course of the Euphrates river).

Of course, that was after the chapter headings; if I went with the first text on the page, it would've been "3." Which is actually somewhat more promising, I guess. *g*

I got the following: "Julia's knowledge of the modern Greek language is confined, as I happen to know, to a few such essential phrases as 'good morning,' 'good afternoon,' 'where does that bus leave from?' and 'what beautiful eyes you have,' supplemented, when this last proves inadequate for its purpose, by various passages learnt by heart from the work of the poet Cavafy; but she uttered no disclaimer."

I feel like anything relating to Julia and one's sex life is going to involve pratfall of some sort, but fun! I think I can live with it. *g*

"That's technically impossible," Chen said. "But it's very rare."

OH BOY.

[songfire]

That sounds like fun, actually! *g*

Hmm. The first one I grabbed had "This granola costs $1.10 to make."

So I picked up the next closest book, and..."She thought of him as something like a special grandfather".

SEX LIFE FAIL IN 2012. D-:

"Goldmund was standing under one of the massive stone arches that led from the passageway out into the little cloister garden..."

I'm not sure what to make of that, frankly!
