From good2notbeking (cute name, btw), who is a new friend LJ-wise but probably one of the oldest real-life friends I have.

You Are Merlot

Smooth, confident, and popular - you're the type most likely to order wine for the whole group. You seem to breeze through life on your intuition and wit. And no one seems to mind! You're comfortable in any social situation you find yourself in, and you never feel outclassed. And while you live a charmed life, you never let it go to your head. You are truly down to earth and a great friend. Deep down you are: Balanced and mature Your partying style: Surprisingly wild... when you let loose, you really let loose Your company is enjoyed best with: Some greasy pizza

What Kind of Wine Are You?

And while I was there I found this one amusing:

Your Nail Polish Color is Red

How you're unique: You have an incredible eye for style and art Why your style rocks: You are classic and classy - and that's hot! What this color says about you: "I'm smart, sassy, and sexy. And I know it."

What Color Nail Polish Best Fits You?

because right now my nails are indeed red.

Book #17 - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Still working my way through the Narnia books. This is one I know I've read and can remember reading, but not exactly when. Probably years and years ago (see next entry).

Lucy and Edmund return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace (if you think Ed was a douchebag in LWW wait 'til you meet this guy), and they travel with Caspian and Reepicheep on the Dawn Treader into the far east, looking for the seven lords Miraz sent away when he usurped the throne. High adventure, and a teeny tiny bit of romance if you squint hard enough, ensues. This is the one most people I know say is their favorite, and it's a very close second with me.

Book #18 - The Silver Chair

I finished Dawn Treader while out on the delta, and noticed that apparently Mom got the old boxed set of Narnia books in the divorce (interesting, since between the two of them I would have thought they belonged to Dad). Anyway, since they were there I moved straight into the next book. Apparently I've read this one, because there was a book report card stuck inside with my SEVENTH GRADE teacher's initials, and my messy printed handwriting (back in the day when bubbly letters were cool and one dotted one's i's with circles instead of dots). I vaguely remembered Eustace and Jill and even Rilian as I read, but for the most part it was like a whole new book, which was nice.

So Caspian is old and grief-stricken at the disappearance of his son, and once again takes a ship and goes haring off to the east, leaving Eustace and his schoolmate Jill Pole to find the lost prince. I'm not sure why, but this one struck me as more high fantasy than the others. Rilian's ill-fated quest to find the snake who bit and killed his mother (Y HALLO THER Mrs. Caspian, you still don't have a name!), the mysterious lady and knight which the children meet on the road, giants, enchantments... as I said, I'm not sure why I got more of a fantasy vibe from this one, since all the others are just as fantastical, but eh. Good times!
