Grab the nearest book to you.

1. Turn to page 17.... If page 17 is a title page or an unworded page, go to the very next worded page that has at least 2 paragraphs.

2. Go to the second sentence of the second paragraph.

3. Type it here

5. Find some desperate way to relate it to your life.

In fact, many girls feel absolutely nothing.

Let's see, how can I relate this to my life.

My kids have started summer vacation and I'm already really tired of the disruption in my life. It's easier when they're in school regularly. They're driving me nuts, and are tearing the house apart. So I guess I wish I were sedated?

He was good-looking and quite stylish, full of vigar and vim, and he had many, many friends.

"I frequently hear people say that all will be okay with climate change because 'Gaia will sort it out.'"

At the risk of sending this to P&R...I always say humans are ignorant for waiting on some Goddess (or earth mother or God or any other entity) to sort out all problems instead of working to help the planet. Think how much better the planet and life would be if we didn't sit on our asses waiting for the end of the world to make it all better.

OK, so, I've mentioned before that I have a lot of books within a close proximity to the computer I'm using most of the time when I post at the Org.
