Your nearest book meme

[annabtg]

I was tagged by beansideirae, so there you go.


Instructions:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.

*grabs nearest book*

*nearest book is a dictionary, and thus has no sentences*

*next two nearest books are also dictionaries*

*next nearest book is Ancient Greek textbook, which has less than 123 pages*

*grabs the book directly above her head, from the shelf above the desk with the many school books*

*follows the instructions, though is not sure what qualifies as a sentence. Supposes that headers don't.*

- σε οργανισμούς του δημοσίου και ιδιωτικού τομέα

- στην τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση σε τομείς σχετικούς με την ειδικότητά τους

(Το κομμάτι αυτό είναι μέρος της παραγράφου που αναφέρει δυνατότητες επαγγελματικής αποκατάστασης των αποφοίτων του τμήματος Γεωτεχνολογίας και Περιβάλλοντος)

*decides not to be mean and translate the above, though mentally curses beansideirae for putting her through such a difficult text*

- in organizations of the public and private sector

- in the local self-administration offices in fields relevant to their specialty

- as freelancers in geotechnical and mining worksites and works on management and protection of the environment.

*hopes the translation made sense*

*tags meringue_kiss (hoping that this post, quite Dobby-ish in nature, might have amused her a little), and her newest LJ friends cheap_idiocy, enchantedteacup, lily_radcliffe, oreoclouds029 and xxxmsmexxx, as a welcome present :) *


I've been feeling a little depressed for the past... half-hour or so. Dunno why. Might have to do with the fact that this is my difficult time of the month, hence leading to mood-swings. Keeping my mind occupied with this meme actually made things a little better. So thanks for the tagging, Clarwyn, and sorry for the curses I mentioned above :D

See ya,
Anna.

lol, greatly amused :D *counts* hmm, i only have 3 dictionaries near me. english, english-spanish, english-irish.

and hey, no cursing at me :P how was i to know every book near you was a textbook?

some of us dont get moody at that time of month. (that's because we're moody all the time and you cant tell any difference....) lol

eating ice cream will make you feel worse physically, or so i have been told, but it certainly does wonders for the soul :D if you dont have to be anywhere, eat ice cream. if you have to act "ok" not-in-pain, perhaps dont eat quite so much ice cream. (it's the milk)

LOL, it's okay, I forgive you :D

I think things such as being moody during your time of the month, or wanting/needing to eat particular foods, or whatever, depend on your organism; as in, different things work for different persons. During that time, I usually cut back on food, but eat much more chocolate :p

See ya,
Anna.

thank you :P i forgive you for cursing at me :P

what you said is probably true. i was referring to some study my mom told me about, that milk foods have some chemical affect on your body that makes cramping worse. (wow, that was profound and precise, wasnt it!!) anyway i dont remember the details and i have no idea if it's true. i dont get too bad mood-wise, but pain-wise i have a terrible time, so i try not to do/eat things that will make it worse. but if i'm not going anywhere anyway, i dont worry about it, lol....ice cream/chocolate is necessary sometimes ;)
