Posting. Neural activity definitely rebounding.<br /><br />Read Melissa Marr's first book, Wicked Lovely, and her second book, Ink Exchange, cover to cover in both cases.&nbsp; Excellent example of a world I find both fascinating and revolting.&nbsp; Characters elicited these same responses.&nbsp; At this point, were there a book so large as to accommodate, I'd press every one of these faeries save Niall and The Gabriel.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a jones for touching Darkness as long as I can wash my hands, I suppose. &lt;wicked grin&gt;<br /><br />On the sunlit side, Big Brown won his Preakness and the Belmont looms in three weeks with Casino Drive.&nbsp; I would love to see a Triple Crown winner so long as he or she [It could happen!] is a deserving Triple Crown winner.&nbsp; Until Big Brown beats someone worthy in a real stretch duel,&nbsp; I'm going to wonder if he is good or his classmates are second-raters.<br /><br />Real Life:&nbsp; I'm told interviews for the new job I want will begin this coming week.&nbsp; This process cannot accelerate fast enough for me.&nbsp; Finally got the head off the last boss who I most deservedly staked&nbsp;years ago only to find it seems she&nbsp;did indeed bite my current boss who, like me, was a minion of the Evil One.&nbsp; Had really hoped he'd left before he got tainted, but alas, not so.&nbsp; Where's that pointy length of ash and my hammer.......<br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp; urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:white_knightess:1035 2008-05-11T13:42:18Z 2008-05-11T13:42:18Z <div class='appwidget appwidget-qotd' id='LJWidget_26'> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><div style='border: 1px solid #000; padding: 6px;'><p>What's your favorite memory of your mother?</p><p style='font-size: 0.8em;'></p><br /><p><input type="button" value="Answer" onclick="document.location.href='http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml?qotd=389'" /> <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/misc/latestqotd.bml?qid=389">View 500 Answers</a></p></div></td></tr></table></div><!-- end .appwidget-qotd --> My favorite memory is no single moment.&nbsp; It is the collective glow her love has cast over every moment of my life.&nbsp; In the darkest hours of despair and on the pinnacles of accomplishment, she is THERE, my heroine and my greatest admirer.&nbsp; Regardless of what life may throw at me for good or ill, she LOVES ME, no matter what.
