I woke up earlier to a post about ME and cake, plus The Compound’s Mystery Guest Who Isn’t Really a Mystery is mere hours from arrival, so I have much to howl about. You, too, should heed the call of the wild and provide me with a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, and Mr. Wolf With Red Mouth will run through these pages (stained with Coca Cola courtesy of Guinness the Dog) and reveal what the book says.
First!
And, by that, I mean first page, entry #1.
“A stream-of-consciousness list”
Second!
Sticking with a trend, how about second page, entry number two? ;p
Re: Second!
“keeping on nodding terms with the people we used to be”
(Familiar–Mark had this one before in his quest to find the waffles located somewhere on page 2.)
Re: Second!
Hmmmm… I like that one a lot.
Also, Kathy would like page 33, number 3. 😉
Re: Second!
And Kathy shall receive:
“fuchsia, golden-warm marigolds, coral-to-magenta petunias, paper-white gardenias”
Re: Second!
Ohh… I like this one!!
Re: Second!
I like yours, Gary. You want to know why? I pictured two men playing chess. Both are contemplating the next moves. One has dark brown hair, a five o’clock shadow, and blue eyes. As he concentrates, he absently scrapes his fingers over his jaw.
At this point, he turned into Adam from He’s the One for me. I LOVE Adam.
Re: Second!
That’s pretty cool.
HTO is going to be one of my few fall books. I only get through one a month or so during the school year, what with paper grading, as opposed to the 4 I got through this past month.
page 600 number 2, please
“cool moisture”
…waiting for some comment from Marika on this one…
at first I read cool manure
Oh. I have a very tragic “cool moisture” story… come to think of it, I have two, actually…
-shudder-
or were you expecting me to tell a nice cool moist story. Becaue honestly, I can’t think of any cool moist stories right now … or any warm moist stories. I cant think of any stories about anything moist. Maybe in a few hours after I eat the moist cookies I am making… you like cookies when they are moist, right?
You’re not right… and that’s why I like you.
I share warm MOIST cookies with my friends I bet the big book of happy has that in there somewhere… if not Becky should write it in …
Oh, and say hi to the mystery guest for me.
page 463 number 7 for Dash
page 135 number 16 for Me
For Dash:
“older, atmospheric bars”
For you:
“potatoes and onions fried with barbecue spice”
Dash and I think that potatoes and onions fired with bbq spice in an older atmospheric bars are awesome ..provided patrons of said bars are friendly and fun, yet do not expect us to share our potatos.
Will do. =)
Re: Second!
Sixth! Page 6 number 6, then.
Re: Second!
“Tudor-style half-timbers”
Re: Second!
Hmmmm. Henry VIII with erectile dysfunction?
Ooh, I like this trend. Seven!
Page 7, # 7 please.
“the trade winds”
Page 9 #8 please.
“silences in chess games”
Dear Mr Wolf With Red Mouth, I have a sore throat, loads of uni work and my in-laws are threatening to come visit, please give me something to be happy about. No 429, 24 please!
“falling in love again”
I hope your throat feels better, and if your in-laws come, they insist that you study while your husband takes them shopping or something!
Page 13, number 13. Yes, I know it’s tempting fate, but like Mary Chapin Carpenter, I say fate should not tempt me.

My LJ buddy Todd says 13 is a very lucky number. So:
“plants on windowsills”
(And may you not be holding a mirror and standing next to a black cat beneath them if they fall!)
Wow…and it is a beautiful image…..plants on windowsills….to bring life and beauty to a harsh northern winter.
I wish 13 could bring you happiness and luck one day, you deserve it.
It brought me you, no? That’s good luck and happiness enough for me. =)
Just in case we lose power, an early happy birthday to you! =)
582 and 20
