amusingness

Being the slow person I occasionally am, I've just now discovered metaquotes. Full of LOTR stuff recently, including some of the funniest "spoilers" ever. That made my day.

um, yeah.

Dear Long-Distance Girlfriend Of My Crush:

I understand you had him first, really. And obviously the both of you care about each other. But you're far away, so I thought maybe we could work out a time-sharing routine. What do you think?

Sincerely,
Hopelessly Devoted Loser


... On an entirely different and less creepily stalkerish note, I decided for no particular reason that I needed a new AIM ID. I was sure that strygalldwir would be free, but evidently I'm not the only one with a penchant for Roger Zelazny's minor demons. (Though I may be the only one on livejournal.) *dramatic sigh* So I hit the paperback collection and ended up with Semirama, a minor character in The Changing Land, which you should all read if you can find it, though the book may or may not be out of print (my copy dates to 1981). The most memorable of her lines is"Is your entire line cursed, or is it only me?" Heh. And now I just have to figure out how to log on to both accounts at once so I can send myself my buddy list. (130-some people, of whom I talk to perhaps five.) whee!

I was tired of all of the which-cds-do-you-own, so...

I'll make up my own memething: which of the Hugo Award winning novels have you read? (The Hugo Award is, of course, one of scifi's most prestigious honors.) I was gonna put Nebulas here too, but there's enough overlap that I couldn't be bothered.

( Not a ton, but better than I did on Rolling Stone's top 500 cds (duh), and so very many that I really mean to read, sometime, when I get a chance... )
