Pick up the nearest book to you. Turn to page 45. The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

"Pausing only to employ a few of Uncle Vernon's choicest swear words, he staggered back into the kitchen, clutching his head and staring out of the window into the back garden."

???

In other news, trying to read the Epilogue out loud is almost as bad as The Eye of Argon.

Bwaah. My nearest book is a user manual for a NAS. The first sentence on p45 reads, I kid you not, "Insert the secondary DNS server IP address here."

[pauraque]

Hahahaha, wow!

You will turn to voyeurism in 2012, clearly. *nods*

[pauraque]

Apparently! Actually there is a guy near us who sometimes sunbathes nude in his yard, presumably unaware that we can see him from our window (it's like, just barely the right angle to see between trees and another building).

Mine are quite fitting: "Thump-thump, thump-thump." Bonus: my sex life will in no way include Uncle Vernon.

[pauraque]

I'm just amused that Harry learned his cussin' from Vernon. What is he saying? "What the effing eff?!"

I bet he's ventured into the buggers and blasts, the rebel.

She barely remembered being presented to three of Jdahya's relatives, then guided off and given a bed.

Oh my. :O


Also, HOW WILL WE SURVIVE THE STEAM/MIST?

[pauraque]

Wow, incestuous group sex! Excitement.

I went and dug this out of screenshots just for you:

Have you personally tested both read-alouds??? Because that is awesome. <3

[pauraque]

Yes, I have! I participated in an Eye of Argon reading at a meetup waaaaay way back, before I was even on LJ. And I read the entirety of the Epilogue to _hannelore recently because neither of us could remember what all the kids' names were and whose kids were whose.

We noticed, among other things, that JKR mentioned the mist and/or steam on the train platform like seven thousand times, which began to be increasingly funny every time she did it. I eventually hurt myself laughing.

I've ALWAYS wanted to do an Eye of Argon group reading, but no one I know IRL seems to find it nearly as glorious as I do! ~forever alone with my seething golden orbs etc hahaha

[pauraque]

Oh, bummer! If we ever meet IRL I promise we can do Eye of Argon. :)

How terribly meta. XD

I got "It was won by a missionary, and he came to Scotland, if we can believe tradition, expressly to flee from war, of which he had a deep and painful horror."
