Your meme, should you choose to accept it, is to rank the following things in order, from "couldn't live without" to "couldn't care less".

You must also add one item to the list - which can be achieved by subdividing an old category if you like (eg. dividing 'Music' into 'Live Music' and 'Recorded Music') - before passing the meme on (including these instructions). You can remove one item too, if you want.

Deep Friendships
Recorded Music
The Internet
Dancing
Water
Books
Good Sex
Live Music
Sunlight
Comics
Video games
Cinema
Television
Flirting

I removed "Flirting" and added "Water".

Right. Well, I am kind of thirsty at the moment, anyway. Apart from that, I have a little weird interview/meeting thing with a lady named Gizelle who may or mmay not want to hire me (part time, I think) to work at the Fredericton Mall postal outlet. I hear they pay well, too, which would be nice, and are farily flexible with scheduling. Then I could stand to get a less well paying part time job as well, and probably still manage, if I left one or the other for a bit, to do some archaeology stuff later in the fall. wooh-wooh! I need to work on my Arch CV still, though. I would have maybe done that yesterday, but I was locked out of my house all morning and had to spend the day with Joel instead. Oh, for *shame* ^-^ We watched a couple of movies (I *have* now seen Donnie Darko, which was quite good), ate too many peanut M&Ms, talked, and I made a character that I quite like for a theoretical Rokugan/Oriental Adventures game he wants to run. It is a d20 system, very similar to D&D, and the worl is pseudo japan with magic and some bits of other random asian mythology tossed in. This is something he is hoping to run over the summer, so, interested people can contact me, I suppose. Probably run on Tuesday nights, he was saying, arr.

Later last night I went over and posed for some interesting light paintings that freakwoman is working on. Then we went for ice cream, and I coughed through half of David Cronenberg's SHivers which was kind of meh.

I have also been doing a lot of reading. Well, enough reading, anyway. I re-read The Hobbit and now I am reading The Sweet Trade, which is an historical fiction about Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read. With one exception, it does a pretty good job, I think of making what is a pretty interesting story to begin with and working out the details and timelines and so on. I am very impressed with her chgaracterizations, which are pretty much exactly how I would have done them. Mary Read is still the awesomest, though, but maybe a bit more tragic/angsty than I would have done her. But she is extremely cool nonetheless. I kind of feel bad for Jack, too although, really, in the end he *was* pretty much just a drunken coward, and a broken little man. What I find especially amusing about the book is how it is definitely a case of truth being stranger than fiction, as withoujt it's historical basis, it seems quite implausible. It also makes me want to read The Pirate Trial of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, which has the actual trial transcripts and does a bit of diging into what happens to them after their deaths, and so on. Ahh, Ferncanyon Press. So many books, so little money :/ Arrr!

Now I should get on with breaking my fast and dressing myself so that I can be prepared for this meeting/interview scenario, so there will maybe be more intereting updates later.
