I think "all the gods in Gyongxe" is referencing the fact that it is said that Gyongxe is the place closest to the Gods, (and thus there are lots of temples there too.)

Preface: I found a cool tumlr that goes into details about the Harry potter house sorting using how/why http://sortinghatchats.tumblr.com/post/1219041861... Evvy a Slytherin/Slytherin cares about HER people above all else, but Rosethorn, a Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw (formerly "burned" presenting Slytherin) wants to protect ALL people. I actually think she might be falling back on her Ravenclaw logic for this speech in beqre gb cerfreir ure erpynvzrq Uhssyrchss nsgre gur jne. V qba'g guvax fur jbhyq unir tvira guvf fcrrpu bgurevfr. So while I understand why she would say this in this context, I don't agree.

I haven't read the Westing Game since I did it for Elementary School (I can't remember which year for the life of me 4th or 5th maybe?) so I'll refrain from spoliers as I only have vauge memories. And Yay Diana Wynne Jones. I love her writing SO much! The Merlin Conspiracy should be the next because it's frg va gur fnzr havirefr. (rot 13 for semi-expectaion spoliers, but not really) I actually read that one first though by accident. I just want Mark to read most of her bibliography.

I feel like not enough people are commenting about this book! I wonder though if we do get to see Deka, how Sieh will feel about him, since he is sexually attracted to Shahar, will he also be attracted to Deka? I guess I just have to wait and see... Also I'm using a bookmark I got from the library about abusive relationships, and I feel as if it is entirely too appropriate for this series.

I love how this book was written. Starting out as a short story, and accidently becoming a novel. It has the feel of his short stories more so than his novels. Neil Gaiman always makes me want to stop what I am doing and write. Or take a long walk in the growing darkness through my twisty suburban neighborhood. Memories are such strange, and fragile things. You can remember things that never really happened, repress events that did. A quick google search yeilded this article from "The Guardian": http://www.theguardian.com/science/2003/dec/04/sc... I forgot this was coming up so soon. TO THE LIBRARY!

I did that too this chapter, I had to go reread that sentence. Then I was super upset. Worst Death Ever. :( Especially since I typically like Death Gods (Seriously, they are the best, but I think most of this community knows this.)

I'm sort of hoping this about one of my shipping predictions. Aaannnd I just realized I've been spending way too much time on tumblr.

Predictions for Blackout The narrative will switch between Shaun and George They won’t meet up until after the halfway point of the book. Shaun will think live!George (I’m not sure if it’s a clone or a reconstructed George) is a hallucination and will mention her eyes/sunglasses There will be sexual tension due to the return of George. Rick will show up Dr.Abby will be wonderful* There will be explosions. I like explosions okay? I will ask “what life is” at least one time due to a plot twist. AKA I will be unprepared, and the nunnery will be out in full force. I have less predictions this time because I have no idea what is going to happen. *Not a prediction, but I‘m pretty I just started crack shipping Dr.Abby and Rick. Now that is a power couple. although I doubt it will happen as she is a renegade scientist and he is the vice president.

results cont. I want there to be more Emily, Ryman, Rick, and Mahir. We got lots of Mahir at least... (1.25/5) Shaun will keep hearing George and it will both help and hinder him. He’s still hearing Georgia and she is helping him cope .75 pts (2/6) There will be explosions! In the 1st chapter no less! (3/7) I am 98% sure that Tate was just a puppet/pawn for the real conspirators and it will be revealed that there is something even bigger going on. Oh gods yes. (4/8) We will learn about a cure. A bonus pt if it’s near the end of this book, and is a setup for the next one. Although it wasn’t really a cure precisely 1/2 pt (4.5/9) Now Onwords to Blackout!

Deadline results: Mahir is going to narrate at least one chapter Lol nope! (0/1) Mahir is going to die (I don’t want it to happen I just don’t trust Grant to keep him alive!) Yay! (0/2) Shaun will not be initially willing to work the main story, but gets pulled in anyways. This applies (1/3) The “deadline” will be someone threatening to release KA unless demands are met or Shaun/AtET investigates issue. Bonus pt if it relates to the conspiracy uncovered in Feed. nope (1/4) continues in comments Split in to 2 due to leangth...

UGH. Mosquitos being carriers scares me so much mosquitos fucking love me, and I think I'm allergic to some as I ocassionally get really horrible huge angry mosquitos bites that burn-itch, and make me miserable because I have conditioned myself to not scratch them as I know it'll make them worse. They are in the top 5 on my list of things that are the bane of my existance. Oh, and I live in Florida. (although I'm in the tampa area which usually gets bypassed by Hurricanes) On that subject is the Avon Skin-so-soft a real product that is an actually insect repellent because if so I need to own 50 bottles of it.
