I was tagged!

By Elizabeth. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Anyway…

The Rules:-

Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. (No cheating!)

Find Page 123.

Find the first 5 sentences.

Post the next 3 sentences.

Tag 5 people.

Oy. The book nearest at hand is my Human Evolution textbook, which is not exactly the most scintillating read.

“These finds include a fairly complete cranium of a 2.6 million-year-old robust australopithecine, which some term Australopithecus aethiopicus. The type specimen of this species has been found earlier by French researchers, in the Omo Valley, Ethiopia. Because the sediments around Lake Turkana are interleaved with volcanic tuffs, the fossils of the region can now be securely dated.”

And now you know why I’m excited to be done after this semester.

Because I’m not really sure who reads this (*cough*lurkers*cough*) I’ll tag anyone who wants to participate. And if you want, leave a comment here so I can see what kinds of books other people are reading. Because I’m nosy like that.

from lindadm and stmichael94: Each person starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves and post these guidelines. At the end of the post, choose 8 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. I know that the eye is intricately designed and a miracle of creation. I just happened to think it’s gross, that’s all.

2. I add garlic to almost every dish I make; this may be part of the reason why I rarely get sick.

3. When I was younger, I was convinced that I wanted to live in the city, somewhere far sunnier and warm. Now I can’t imagine ever living somewhere that I love more than I do living here in rural New England.

4. I have always wanted a pet goat.

5. I find the Home Shopping Network oddly relaxing.

6. I have an irrational fear of small talk.

7. This year I claimed a ‘religious exemption’ in order to decline the flu vaccination required by my job. I’m fully aware that it makes me look a bit…nutty. But until the Powers That Be wise up and stop mandating unecessary medical procedures, I’ll continue to proudly wave my freak flag.

8. I have never understood the appeal of musicals.

I tag whoever is reading this and wants to participate.
