We're gonna Need a Bigger boat

The LJ Template for the Question of the day was made of fail, so here it is: Three books that changed your life IDK that they 'changed my life' but each one of them made me think

The Mindful Way through Depression - Really made me examine my clinical depression and how my own brain was working against me. And how to remain conscious of that.

Fingerprints of the Gods - I really liked the mysteries this explored and the ideas it discussed. I like that there is no set answer, it's all just supposition and guessing.

Jane Eyre - My Go To book. The book I would take with me if I could only have one. Jane Eyre is almost an addiction for me. I own four different movie version and four versions of the book (Old School Hardcover - my fave, paperback, kindle and FRENCH - I can't even read it in french, but I had to have it). I love love love this book. It's... all my favourite things rolled into one. Determined, smart, heroine, who isn't all that good looking and hence relatable. Dark deary castle. Enigmatic brooding owner. Mysterious things happening. then - romance! Tragedy! Supernatural Elements! (Jane! Jane!) AND THE BEST DECLARATION OF LOVE EVER:

"Because," he said, "I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you — especially when you are near to me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles or so of land, come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapped; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly."

He has a nervous notion he should take to BLEEDING INWARDLY.

MY HEART!!! This line has ruined all men for me forever, I fear.

I know I don't finish them, but I love seeing the cards! Having ideas roll around in my brain! I never know what will fall out!

So today, my mum and I were discussing the Vancouver riots and there was this one guy who posted something quite.... inflammatory on his Facebook and his employer fired him.

and we were both saying, yes, of course he was fired. In this day and age, if you're online in a widely popular media site, anything you say is pretty much equivalent to shooting it out loud in a public room.

And I said "Yeah, I mean, I'm friends with my coworkers on FB, my boss, people in the same industry as me. I think about that before I post anything."

She said "Yeah. Don't post anything you wouldn't' want your mother to read."

and in my head I IMMEDIATELY thought of all my slash fiction and was like, ".....uh, yeah. Is that the dryer I hear finishing?" *scampers away*

Good luck, bb! No matter who wins, we both win!

I always feel a little silly and self-indulgent when I make myself cry with my own writing.

It feels like the ultimate in self-flattery.

But I couldn't help it!
