My first Meme!

I have been tagged by Rositta at http://theviewfromher.blogspot.com/

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open it at page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence/phrase.
4. Blog the next four sentences/phrases together with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig your shelves for that very special or intellectual book.
6. Pass it forward to six friends.


Well. . .The closest book was almost the Haynes Manual on the Oldsmobile Silhouette, thank god this was on top. I have not read any Erica Jong for years.

"There was something about Rosanna that made one tactful, delicate-mayabe scared? She seemed to be above anything so base as orgasm. She seemed to be made of pure spirit-like a stock market rumor.

Then, one day in midsummer, I arrived at her house with a botttle of icy Dom Perignon (to celebrate her thirty-third birthday). "

This is from an old Erica Jong book, "How to Save Your Own Life". The one who coined the phrase "the zipless fuck".

So. . .I will tag, a few people that I read like to read.

I got your message and followed the instructions.

Quoting Gary Larson makes no sense without the image.

Gasp! You like to read...me?

Blush! Blush!

And I've done the meme. I just killed my suspense. The nearest book was a book I've only read up to page 70ish and now I know what's going to happen. Haha.

Dear Jesus,

I am disappointed, but yes, The Far Side isn't much with out the pictures.

It's good to learn that you have a wacky sense of humour though. That way, I know I will be accepted into your loving arms come judgement day.
