I don't mind the odd meme, but this one has been bugging me. It seems perfectly easy, all you have to do is "pick up a book on the top of your book stack, turn to page 123, read the first five sentences, then post the next three sentences".
My book stack... riiiight.
Well, here goes nothing I guess. Prepare to be entertained.
The top of my stack is, rather unfortunately for the sake of this little exercise, occupied by a chunky library book called "How to Do Everything with HTML & XHTML".
Browsers sometimes ignore mistakes in HTML code. You don't have this luxury with XHTML. Your document must be well formed, which simply means it must contain no errors in syntax.
Positively scintillating, no? If that is not a cry for R&R time, I don't know what is. I mean, I could have fibbed, maybe sorted through a few books and found the most wonderful sentences I could, but that'd be cheating. The meme police would have my hide for even thinking such a thing! No, I'm afraid I simply have to bore you to tears instead.
I tag Moondoggie, Ren (who no doubt hates these things but the thought of finding out what is in her book stash is simply too irresistible), Boneman and PSWC.

OK, it's done.
(I feel like someone dealt me the 9 of Diamonds, eh?)
I picked five, mayube six, and the seed is in the ground.
I didn't fare so much better than yourself, though, as the close book was a dictionary.

I have several stacks!!! *panic*
Hang on....Ok, got the first book on the stack that didn't have CDs or DVDs sitting on top of them (our telly is right near the bookshelf)...
The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory...
I wished someone would tell me what he wanted of me. But then, he himself guided my touch, and whispered in my ear what he wanted to do, and then after a little while of his movement and my blundering caresses he gave a sigh and lay still.
"Is it enough for you?" I asked timidly.
That... was almost embarrassing. *LOL*

dang, you sure are a quiet one, aren't you?
Well, by including me in the gig (I still don't know why they call them 'memes') you introduced me to wordpress, which, as it turns out, didn't have a "walking on alligators"
Now, I suspect that doesn't mean anything to you. Well, unless you've read the book, but, as it turns out, it used to be the name of my first blog.
Through stupidity on my part, it got deleted, but, now I have it back.
So, thankyou, Apples. You're OK in my book.
Well, if I ever get around to writing a book, that is.
