Political Stand Meme

From many on my FL*:  I don't do this much, but, because of various activities, particularly Q8, CA:

Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a non-same-sex marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow. 

I could go on about this - I, personally, think there would be virtue in allowing some civil arrangement that would allow people to set up a legal close relationship with other people, regardless of actual or presumed intimate relationships.  I was told by someone closely involved with the efforts here (VT) that it would interfere with other legal structures.  Anyway, it didn't happen. 

*in different versions, particularly, non-same-sex <=> heterosexual

Non-Vorkosigan Bujold Quotes

We had a spate of Vorkosigan quotes. A re-read of  The Curse of Chalion cries out for a spate of others.

One particularly appropriate for full-moon time in October:

"My chosen god is, dare I say it, fiendishly ambiguous at times . . . "

When you see a Bujold quote, post another Bujold quote in your LJ, and see how long we can keep it going.

Such riches to choose from...

I better get this in while I can . . .

"Shopping."

Commonly Confused Words Test

Several people on my FL have done this one.  The first time I tried it, I had to take a break in the middle and never did get results, but this time it worked.

I seem to have done well enough, but I have a question.  Here's one I don't know:  We will select who(m)ever comes in first.  I suppose I'll have to post it on the List and hope Dr. Whom notices.

Your result for The Commonly Confused Words Test...

Tagging other people.  Well, following the splendid lead of merchandisers, we're running a self-service, tag-yourself establishment here.  It's the latest thing.  You may cite me if it helps.

Don't really listen to songs as much as I used to, so I can't give you anything new.

Well, I've set up this fool thing, I suppose I'd better say something.

I think my first few entries will concern books. Since the fiction I like seems to be pretty well covered elsewhere, I'll talk about some non-fiction, mostly technical. Sorry, it's what I read.
