23/5 (Remixed)

[ VIA George, because I can't remember where I read it first at Jay's spot ] :

1. Grab a book (a fav, current read, etc.)
2. Open the book to the page that matches your age. For me, 36
3. Find the # sentence, where # = your fav number. For me, 10.
4. Post the text of the sentence on your blog.

She is holding a proud, grinning Julia by the hand, and here, Julia is bareheaded, with her hair curled, and with a ribbon in her hair, wearing a white middy blouse and a black pleated skirt, and those flat patent-leather shoes which button on the side. -- from Just Above My Head by James Baldwin

And here's the original meme:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence on your blog.

I answered that what I wanted more than anything else in the world was to write, nothing else but that, nothing. -- The Lover by Marguerite Duras.

I'm starting my own meme next week. They're so much fun. Although you'd never know from my blog. I rarely participate.

Program traders simultaneously place orders for stock index futures and the underlying stocks in an attempt to exploit price variations. (from Barron's Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms, fourth edition). Hm, maybe that wasn't such a good choice. Posted by: PatCH on April 16, 2004 01:34 PM
PatCH: Step away from the book. Now!! You are to go out, enter the first bar you see and wind up pissy-ass drunk. Just call Greg to look out for the cab bringing you home. Oh, you probably should bring along an extra $20 and some Febreeze. ;-) Posted by: ronn on April 16, 2004 07:12 PM
