Meme-ness

Borrowed from teaphile:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.

A Guide To The Bodhisattva's Way Of Life
By Shantideva

With folded hands I beseech
The conquerers who wish to pass away,
To please remain for countless aeons
And not to leave the world in darkness.

That really is the book next to the computer.

Your turn.

If you're coping well it's fun, and if you don't feel you're coping they should be both sympathetic and helpful. These nurses see a lot of babies, and most of them are a real encyclopedia of reassuring, indispensible baby knowledge. They're an on-tap reality check.

The closest book was actually the Concise Oxford Russian Dictionary, but I can't be arsed typing in cyrillic and it's not exactly in sentences. If you're interested, the fifth line down was the Russian word for 'cooper', then 'barrel' and 'sideways'.
