I forgot to say, I read a book! The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula le Guin. I really enjoyed it. Now I think I'll hunt down more Ursula le Guin to read.

Also, random Green Queen fact: I have hierarchies of favourites for pretty much everything. Movies, TV shows, celebrities, characters, events, people I know in real life, foodstuffs, seasons, months. If there's a lot of them I usually just have a top five or something, but pretty much everything is on a scale.

Yes, you all needed to know those two things.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY enders_girl!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, dollface! ♥

[kerrsmith2306]

Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes.

we're similar yet not...lol (I stole the meme! :D)

*hugs*

Now I think I'll hunt down more Ursula le Guin to read.

*nods* She's an amazing writer. I've read five of her books so far, not including The Lathe of Heaven, but they're some of my favourites.

Damn good book, that. *nods* We read it in the intro to literary study course I did at uni.

[malsirien.livejournal.com]

The Wizard of Earthsea is an awesome series by her. 4 books I think, it's been a while.

Thank you for the birthday message! Much appreciated, I love 'em.

I tried to do the meme, but I realized it would be really boring for anybody else to read through, as I was only able to check about every twentieth box. It seems I am really, really not girly. And here I thought I'd outgrown my tomboy stage. *grin*

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

Check out a collection of her short stories, too... I think it's called "The Wind From Four Quarters"?

*L*! I can't remember - what IS the story behind that photo?! Was it something he was sending to Billy?
