Ok, it's simple enough: Go grab a book, pretty much any will do. Take the last two digits of the year of your birth, then turn to that page (If you were born in 2000, or, somehow 1900, go to page 100). Now take the number of the month you were born in, and find that sentence on the above page. (if the page starts w/ a sentence that's continuing from the previous page, don't count that as the first sentence. Just move on to the first full sentence and move on from there.) Then post the sentence here. (you can post as many times as you like.)

Does it seem to describe you in any way? Explain.

Ex: I was born in February of 1992, so I would turn to page 92 in whatever book I'm holding and write down the second line from the page.

From Mass Effect: Ascension by Drew Karpyshyn (one of my favorite books based off my all time favorite game.)

page 92, sentence two: "...He stood up from her bedside and leaned in to kiss her on the top of her head."

It's from the part when the father is kissing his daughter goodnight. Seeing as my bastard father never loved me and I want nothing to do with the man, this one doesn't describe me at all.

Okay....Born in June 1988, the book is Dune from Frank Herbert.

Page 88: Jessica lifted her hands from the door, turned, saw Mapes come to the foot of the stairs.

This is stupid. I know none named Jessica. Or Mapes. There for this thread be silly.

Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox...

page 89 sentence 12...

''There is no time for it''

Basically the antithesis of my existence. A more apt sentence would be... ''There is to much time without anything''.

yeah. therefore this thread be silly.

I, Robot. Page 93, line 4 He said, "I've been working it out, Greg."

As I suspected, nothing to do with me.

Is it pathetic that there isn't a single book in the room with me?

They're all in my bedroom and I can't be bothered going to get one.

Lol, I've got a good one. This is from More Information Than You Require, by John Hodgman (The "I'm a PC" guy from the Mac ads). It's sentence 12 of page 321 (84 pages past page 237, the page the book starts on. Don't ask...)

(from a collection of facts about President Teddy Roosevelt)

"Roosevelt died fighting an old lion and was buried in Mount Rushmore, WHERE HIS GIGANTIC, FOSSILIZED FACE STILL STARES OUT OVER THE COUNTRY HE BEAT INTO SHAPE TO THIS VERY DAY."

It doesn't describe me at all, much too badass and epic. I'm glad I got a good one though - hilarious book, check it out for a good laugh.

Shade's Children-Garth Nix.

Page 90, line 6.

"Ella recovered the rope and joined him. Gold-Eye and Ninde looked at her expectantly from the other tree, awaiting orders."

Not really descriptive.

Children of Dune.
Page 85, sentence 11.

"Some of the older Sardaukar played the dream-interpretation game, had done so increasingly since their defeat by that "Supreme Dreamer", Muad'Dib."

Well, erm.
I have never suffered any great defeat.
And I don't really try to interpret my dreams, either.

But I guess if we look beyond the exact words, it's about trying to find sense ("dream-interpretation") in failure ("defeat"), finding a way to solve a problem ("Supreme Dreamer") we could not overcome before.
I do tend to analyze my mistakes, so maybe it applies to me... somehow.

John Hodgman is one of the guys in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He does that segment "Your Welcome" where he fixes some problems in the world and mainly the USA.

One of the fixes for Health Care Reform is make every American a member of congress so all can get free health care. Anyway pretty stupid. ^^

I would but i'm actually not on that page yet and I really, really don't want to ruin anything because of the sheer interestingness (new word alert) of the book i'm reading. House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski, if anyone actually cared.

I stated in the first post to use the first full sentence on the page. Please re-read and try again.

On a Pale Horse, p. 87, sentence 10:

Zane pushed the button in the watch.

... Clearly I chose the wrong book.

EDIT: After reading through more of the thread, I saw that someone used the works of John Hodgman. I shall emulate the wise person and employ the tenth sentence of the eighty-seventh page of The Areas of My Expertise, which is:

Finally arrested and institutionalized, he trepanned himself to death in 1952.

Well... At least I'll get to travel in time!

Born in 83

From page 83 in Across the Nightingale Floor

"Kaede led her father to the small room overlooking the garden."

Meh, a rather boring sentence if you ask me.
