I know I've done this before, but since it's hitting the flist again, here's my Johari window: http://kevan.org/johari?name=mari4212

Oh, and this one's also been going around a lot, so I'm probably one of the last to do this. Go here: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3, and choose five or so quotes that you like or that describe your views on life.

Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)

Life is an adventure in forgiveness.
Norman Cousins (1915 - 1990)

I hope you become comfortable with the use of logic without being deceived into concluding that logic will inevitably lead you to the correct conclusion.
Neil Armstrong (1930 - )

Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house.
Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)

Iron rusts from disue; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519), The Notebooks

An education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

And just so that this entry isn't only memes, if you have a few minutes to spare, go over to [livejournal.com profile] ishie's livejournal and check out this post: http://ishie.livejournal.com/287858.html?mode=reply. Fill out the poll, and stick around for discussion. I have a feeling it's going to be interesting. (Inspired by the bad_penny accounts of Cassie Claire, this is attempting to see what people think should be cited and how in fanfic.

That's a beautiful quote.

I also filled out the poll, and I want to eloborate on my thoughts more, but the inspiration just isn't there at the moment. Maybe later.

Oh, and as promised, a craptacular icon. Hooray!

You should see my bedroom sometime. There is not a flat surface that isn't covered in books. I've lived by that quote for years.

Oh, icon!
