Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence along with these instructions in a note to your wall.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Alrighty.....this is terribly random, but, seeing as I am never one to pass up a fun game such as this, here is my fifth sentence on page 56 of the book that is closest to me:
"I could almost laugh at myself tonight, to think how low my spirits must be if I am wanting a letter from Amelia."
About Me
WELCOME!!
My name is Brooke, and this is my blog! This blog provides a glimpse into my life as an expat in Bangkok, Thailand, where I am currently developing the curriculum for a new international school. My talents include: planning trips at the spur of the moment, the ability to live out of a suitcase for months at a time, being both a nomad and a homebody, riding in taxis, surprising people with my sailor's mouth, making eggs benedict, riding horses while they jump over things, making up songs while teaching, making my hip scarves jingle during belly dance, and burning the candle at both ends. I have a hard time with: commas and semicolons, walking in high heels, opening pickle jars, untying knots in necklaces, and taming those crazy flyaways. I am utterly enamored with travel, believe in happily ever after, and consistently celebrate National Left-Handers' Day. This blog is meant to be a space for sharing my own personal observations and fine-tuning my writing. Comments and suggestions are always welcome, as long as they are posted with kind intentions and the understanding that this is much more of a monarchy than a democracy. This blog is definitely best enjoyed with a martini in hand, as that's how I prefer writing it. Thanks for visiting!! It is lovely to meet you.

I thought I would try the page 56 game, but my closest book is my Torts casebook, so my entry may not be as fun. Anyway, here is the fifth sentence on page 56 of my closest book:
"While the manner in which language is used may no doubt determine its actionable character, appellant's assertion that the statement involved in this case was made to her with gross recklessness, etc., cannot take the place of allegations showing that the words were intended to have real meaning or serious effect."
Yikes, that's a long sentence.
