Memes and stuff.

[makeste]

ekmisao tagged me for this one:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.

They came to a low room with a sloping roof (a penthouse, it seemed, built on to the north end of the house). Its walls were of clean stone, but they were mostly covered with green hanging mats and yellow curtains. The floor was flagged, and strewn with fresh green rushes. There were four deep mattresses, each piled with white blankets, laid on the floor along one side.

-The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien; I was in fact rereading it because I was curious to see if the Sam = Gokudera thing held up in the book (IT DOES!). I apologize for the fact that page 123 lands us square in the middle of the house of Tom Bombadil. But I can't be held accountable for the meme not picking a more interesting passage. XD

As for tagging, uh. JUST DO THE MEME IF IT TICKLES YOUR FANCY, GUYS. I am a tagging failure.

And I also did that icon meme that went around a couple weeks ago.

Oh my god your default icon is too amazing for words.

[makeste.livejournal.com]

That is one talented shark, to be sure.

Haha, once I get my hands on LOTR again, I'll have to read it, replacing Sam's name with Gokudera's XD

...but Gokudera was not daunted, and he still eyed Strider dubiously. 'How do we know you are the Strider that Gandalf speaks about?' he demanded. 'You never mentioned Gandalf, till this letter came out. You might be a play-acting spy, for all I can see, trying to get us to go with you. You might have done in the real Strider and took his clothes. What have you to say to that?'

Strider laid his hand on his shoulder. 'There is still hope,' he said. 'You are not alone. Let us take this wood that is set ready for the fire as a sign. There is little shelter or defence here, but fire shall serve for both. Sauron can put fire to his evil uses, as he can all things, but these Riders do not love it, and fear those who wield it. Fire is our friend in the wilderness.'
'Maybe,' muttered Gokudera. 'It is also as good a way of saying "here we are" as I can think of, bar shouting.'

'Where's Gokudera?' Tsuna asked at length. 'And are the others all right?' 'Yes, they are all safe and sound,' answered Gandalf. 'Gokudera was here until I sent him off to get some rest, about half an hour ago.'

IT KINDA WORKS??

I love your favourite animated icon still.

"WHEE WHEE WHEE WHE-BONK"

Stealing the memes!

Also LOST omg. I tried watching it but I was so confused. Fringe isn't as confusing! XD

[makeste.livejournal.com]

IT IS THE LULZIEST ICON.

<3 And haha, LOST. XD EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE WATCHED ALL THE EPISODES MULTIPLE TIMES, IT IS STILL CONFUSING. But that's part of the magic. 8D

[chibikaya.livejournal.com]

IT IS.

Hahaha that is so true. Also, there are like, a million plot twists in each episode FFFFF-

[makeste.livejournal.com]

Not only that, but their way of answering one question is by introducing like a dozen new ones. XDDD Sob.

How did I know this was to be littered with KHR?

LOL. I hated how they took so long in LOTR to get past Tom Bombadil. I nearly quit after the first 200 or so pages.

[makeste.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE I APPARENTLY AM NOT AWARE OF THE FACT THAT NON-KHR ICONS ACTUALLY EXIST.

Haha, me too. Every time I get to that part of the book, I have to force myself to keep reading. Those chapters always leave me half bored out of my mind, and half wanting-to-punch-Tom-in-the-face. XD Definitely think the films made the right call on that one.
