Doing the meme thing

As taken from criminalenglish.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

The book: Reveletation by Carol Berg

The sentance: 'The filth was never a part of me.'

Well, I don't have a blog, but that shouldn't stop me, right? Ok, well, this page 123 doesn't actually have any complete sentences in it, but the fifth line says "Wind River Systems International Israel Inc." Which I think is also the title of the third book in the "DragonLance Enterprises" triogy. I don't usually keep the phonebook that close to me, but I've just now came back from an amazing garage-related experiences.

From Anita Diamant's "The New Jewish Wedding":

Bands that workk closely with caterers have a tendency to be more attuned to the needs of the kitchen than to the fact that the dance floor is packed and you'd rather wait dessert for fifteen minutes.
