Quote Me This (Warm Ups)

[age.livejournal.com]

Practicing my procrastination for November by posting this instead of trying to finish off my last assignment for my Monday class. Four pages double-spaced and a bibliography to boot. Just gotta finish the hellish reading for it and then off I go!

As always, reply to this post with your answers, and pop by (here) for rules and explanations.

If your entry requires more than 1 reply, please post the whole thing in your own journal and then reply once here with a link.

State clearly any warnings/ratings in the subject line of your reply (or at the very top of the body of your reply) so that people can be forewarned. Consider it a bit of CYA tactics *wry*
