Discovery: The local public library had a copy of Good Omens. A hardback copy.
According to the date stamped on the inside back cover, they've had it the whole time. That I'll believe; the dust jacket says The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch on it, which (ha!) has been cut from the title these days. Also has a picture of Gneil and Pterry on the back.
Found that out because one of my friends tracked it down and is now reading it. Said his favorite part so far is Sister Mary Loquacious cooing over the baby Antichrist. I tried explaining the baby-switching to him, but I still don't think he gets it; perhaps a diagram is in order?
Anyway. 'Tis the season for a survey.
Gacked from several people overall, but
seramercury at the moment.
A - Act your age? ::raises eyebrow:: Why would I want to do that?
B - Born on what day of the week? Thursday. (Never could get the hang of Thursdays... XD)
C - Chore you hate? Garbage, yardwork, dog frisbee once its all covered in saliva.
D - Dad's name? John
E - Essential makeup item? Makeup is the work of the devil.
F - Favorite actor? To look at, Orlando Bloom. Not sure about actual acting skills. Prolly Christopher Lloyd (funny guy!).
G - Gold or silver? Silver. Definitely silver.
H - Hometown? Not Lima, Ohio, Earth. Dry-clean only.
I - Instruments you play? Flute, mallet-type percussion, keyboard (decreasing order pf preficiency). Wanted to play oboe for a while in there but never got around to it.
J - Job title: ...student?
K - Kids? Who knows?
L - Living arrangements? Sorry, afrai, haven't had a chance to read it yet. Maybe this weekend - have three days. I'm sure it's quite good though.
M - Mom's name? Jean (My, aren't we creative. XD)
N - Number of people you've slept with? Nice round zero. Intend to keep it that way for quite a while.
O - Overnight Hospital Stays? When I was about six. Strep throat and the allergic reaction at the same time. That was *so* not fun.
P - Phobia? Climbing around on a roof. No, Dad, I will NOT go up there and help you with the Christmas lights. (I'd call it heights, except I'm fine when I'm inside something.)
Q - Quote you like? If you sit down and think about it sensibly, you come up with some very funny ideas. --Good Omens
(Alternately... you want me to pick just one when I've got this?
R - Religious affiliation? Officially, Catholic. To be quite honest with myself... I don't have a clue, other than *not* Catholic.
S - Siblings? Jen I and Jen II. Jen I is the only one biologically related to me; Jen II is one of her friends who sort of adopted my parents (long story). Both are older than me.
T - Time you wake up? About 6:30 on school days, as late as I can manage the rest of the time.
U - Unique habit? Making Dance in the Car CDs and randomly gifting people with them.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat? Brussels sprouts. ::gags at flavor:: And pretty much anything that began its life, far as I'm concerned, in a can.
W - Worst habit? Procrastination, no question. But I'll put that off till later. XD
X - X-rays you've had? None that I know of.
Y - Yummy food you make? My cooking skills are generally limited to macaroni and cheese.
Z - Zodiac Sign? Libra.
Also, one of the Deathwish Duo said something after the afternoon prayer at school (which I don't participate in, though I do at least stand up and acknowledge it and so forth) that I'm "supposed" to pray. Not going to waste my breath on the bloody idiot. I don't believe the stuff anymore and they're really quite lucky I give it formalities these days. ::sigh::
Bloody hell, my Frankenstein paper is long. Found the quote-thing I needed, by the way.
