I ran and hid…
But still got fooking tagged *sighs, considering filing for divorce*. And ignoring these things (which I tried last time) doesn’t seem to work because the tagger then hunts you down like an angry vole.
So here’s what you do:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
The nearest book was a very fine novel called ‘Baby’s First Words’ but it didn’t have 123 pages unfortunately. The phonebook did have the required number but it doesn’t have sentences strictly speaking so I eventually settled for some bizarre and allegedly amusing thing called The Eyre Affair which Kitty Lalonde is forcing me to read at gunpoint (pages 1 and 2 are admittedly quite funny).
‘And that is?’ asked Mycroft, busily pouring prepositions on to the bookworms, who devoured the abstract food greedily.
‘Nine.’
Mycroft mumbled something and jotted the figure down on a pad.
I’m tagging Serenity Mercier, Queenie Extraordinaire, Madison Donnelly, paeoti Pomeray and Laylah Mistral… all picked because I know they read porn exclusively, yay!

The Ayre Affair (By Jaspar Fforde, available at Amazon and all good book retailers) is a rompingly good read and you love it!
ps. I could have tagged you with a sex thing to so you should have been grateful.
pps. Weren’t you reading Michael Caine?
Well Tie, you are out of luck lol…all of my reading material is packed. Other than my huge Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal which is helping to prop up my second monitor and I’m too lazy to pull it out.

I don’t have a blog up right now! I’ll have to do it here if you really, really want me too…
*looks a bit sheepish* Michael Caine has given me many happy hours in the bathroom, I’m not ashamed!
To QQ and Lala: Oh noes! I wouldn’t want to put you both to such terrible pains and lengths for my sake, here let me do them for you…

“A sharp bite to the neck is the best way to subdue the chicken. However, some breeds will flap for several minutes (see below for a list of more docile varities). Special note should be taken to always select a free range chicken.
Lala:
“He wrapped her in his manly arms, pressing her heaving bosom to his broad, glistening chest. She trembled softly and whispered, “Oh David….”. His breathing was deep and masculine and cocooned her quivering body like a wooly fleece made of clouds.
