Half Naked Thursday: Security Blankets

[sorcyress]

"So, wait, are you going to do that every week?"

Yeah, probably. Also, pretend it's Thursday, and not Saturday. If it helps, I *took* this picture on Thursday, sitting in Ezri's living room.

And yes, that's where I actually am in the book just now. Happy Thursday(ish)



This is a picture of me reading The Pirate's Mixed Up Voyage, by Margaret Mahy. It is the single best book in the universe, or at the very least, my favourite. It is also my security blanket.

I own three copies, because of a brilliantly nice anonymous friend who sent me a few extras. I read it approximately once every six months, based on how often I need it. My favourite line is "...for in times of great stress a good book is often all the comfort you can reasonably expect to find", my favourite character is Hermione Hatchett (and I *will* cosplay her someday!!), and my favourite fantasy involves...god, I can't even remember anymore, it's been ages since I actively had a crush on Brace and Bit. Don't you fucking dare judge me. He wears glasses.

Yes, maybe you can borrow a copy, but not until September, because I only have one copy for the summer, and I learned the hard way that me not having access to any copy of this book puts me in such a bad place, you have _no idea_. Also, I need Ria to return the copy she's got borrowed. *narrows eyes* BAD FUTURE ROOMMATE!

Booooook.

THAT'S NOT A DESERT ISLAND! :D

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

I totally want a dessert island. I'll settle for a sequel, detailing how the Noah's Ark Tapestry wound up in the Deadlock Home for Stubborn Orphans.

Would you like to go sail among the thousand isles with me? We can dodge firedrakes and go play with the warble trout. :3

An even more complicated story, and far too long for this footnote <-- isn't that what it says?

Also, ohhh yes! :D Cutting up my library card up rightaway! I've been on lots of boats*, I must be good at sailing. Also, I make damn good gingerbread.

*By which I mean hardly any boats. I did once sail from the university to the antigua boatsheds in an inflatable rubber boat with my dad. And I tried to repeat the expedition later with my friend Tehnuka but unfortunately we only made it as far as Mona Vale due to a) low river levels b) leaks in the boat c) waterfalls. Mostly b), to be honest.

Was that the one what you started to read to me? i can't remember... darn not-working-brain *shakes fist*

It was indeed the one I started to read to you. When my life settles (September), I will endeavor to read the whole thing to you!

[miriampenguin.livejournal.com]

Agree with Haaaaaaat!

In other news, last night I dreamt I was reading an LJ post where you were reviewing Atlas Shrugged.

Haven't gotten around to it yet. Might never, I've heard it's a brick.

Also, yes, haaaaat. I love that hat.
