Political Stand Meme

From many on my FL*:  I don't do this much, but, because of various activities, particularly Q8, CA:

Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a non-same-sex marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow. 

I could go on about this - I, personally, think there would be virtue in allowing some civil arrangement that would allow people to set up a legal close relationship with other people, regardless of actual or presumed intimate relationships.  I was told by someone closely involved with the efforts here (VT) that it would interfere with other legal structures.  Anyway, it didn't happen. 

*in different versions, particularly, non-same-sex <=> heterosexual

Non-Vorkosigan Bujold Quotes

We had a spate of Vorkosigan quotes. A re-read of  The Curse of Chalion cries out for a spate of others.

One particularly appropriate for full-moon time in October:

"My chosen god is, dare I say it, fiendishly ambiguous at times . . . "

Bujold quote meme

from [livejournal.com profile] mmegaera

When you see a Bujold quote, post another Bujold quote in your LJ, and see how long we can keep it going.

Such riches to choose from...

I better get this in while I can . . .

"Shopping."

Commonly Confused Words Test

Several people on my FL have done this one.  The first time I tried it, I had to take a break in the middle and never did get results, but this time it worked.

I seem to have done well enough, but I have a question.  Here's one I don't know:  We will select who(m)ever comes in first.  I suppose I'll have to post it on the List and hope Dr. Whom notices.

Your result for The Commonly Confused Words Test...

Details follow, but I got them all )

Tagging other people.  Well, following the splendid lead of merchandisers, we're running a self-service, tag-yourself establishment here.  It's the latest thing.  You may cite me if it helps.

Music meme

aaack!  I've been tagged by [livejournal.com profile] elfbiter

"List 7 songs you are into right now."

Don't really listen to songs as much as I used to, so I can't give you anything new.

First

Well, I've set up this fool thing, I suppose I'd better say something.

I think my first few entries will concern books. Since the fiction I like seems to be pretty well covered elsewhere, I'll talk about some non-fiction, mostly technical. Sorry, it's what I read.
