Leave a ship here that I know, any ship (canon or AU, realized or unrealized, RP), and I will tell you my opinion on:

who is the big spoon/little spoon
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
who uses all the hot water in the morning
what they order from take out
what is the most trivial thing they fight over
who does most of the cleaning
what has a season pass in their DVR
who controls the netflix queue
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working
who steals the blankets
who leaves their stuff around
who remembers to buy the milk
who remembers anniversaries

I liked this one, it made me smile when I read it from propernice so I thought I'd do it myself and pass along the smiling.

Everyone can use a smile.

The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here. Bold those books you've read in their entirety, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish or read an excerpt.

A lot of these I read for school, in HS or for my Comparative Lit stuff in college... admittedly many of the partially read ones fall into that category.

Day 05 - A book or series you hate.

I know it's a classic, I know it's a glorious tragic love story, I know it was written by a freaking Bronte but I have never been able to make myself finish Wuthering Heights.

I could care less what happens to any of them except maybe poor Isabella, the main characters aren't even a little sympathetic being a brute bent on revenge and a spoilt princess and the gothic air and prose I love so much in Jane Eyre (the other Bronte) or The Fall of the House of Usher (Poe) comes across as melodramatic and unwieldy.

On a more contemporary not, I managed to finish the first Anita Blake book (barely) but I continue to be mystified at why LKH's books are so popular.

Day 03 - The best book you've read in the last 12 months.

Since I got my Kindle I've been re-reading a lot of old favorites, and/or classics since they were free so this question is sort of two parts for me.

The best book I re-read int he last 12 months was 'The STAND', I had forgotten in the fifteen or so years since I had last read it just how must I loved it. How much depth both in story and character there was and how realistic Stephen King managed to make the end of the world and what happens after - including the relationships and governments of the people who survived.

The best book I read for the first time in the last 12 months was a book called 'Faking It' by Elisa Lorello. Admittedly I was trolling Amazon for cheap/free books with salacious titles... and what i got was a novel about self discovery, relationships, writing and basically learning hoe to live instead of faking it. I loved it so much I immediately bought the sequel and read it.

I'm a self professed book addict so this one seemed like it was right up my alley - plus a reason to post to my personal LJ more.

Day 01 - A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!)

The Stephanie Plum series. I love the books, great literature they are not but fun, high paced stories that I usually read in a single sitting and characters that Janet Evanovich really brings to life. I can't help but look forward to the next one, the books are pure entertainment... but honestly there are like 25 of them now counting the between the numbers novels and until it ends she's going to keep waffling between Morelli and Ranger (and occasionally Diesel) and it's starting to piss me off.

When the penultimate decision/conflict in a series has dragged on so long it's making people hate the main character it's time to stop. That or it's time to fish or cut bait and make a frigging decision.

Anyway - time to end it, put me out of my on again off again misery - though I figure she's going to push it to Tingling Twenty or something like that so it's going to be at least four years.

So.. the seventies were alive and well the day I was born despite it being the last hurrah for the decade.

First ten to comment get a short fic of their choosing (as long as I know who the characters you want are and feel capable of writing them). In exchange, you have to post something similar (offering fics or sketches or what have you) in your journal.

I like this one! Will also attempt poetry (badly), or original fic if you're feeling like taking a chance.
