shiredancerHo-hum, predictable as all get out. I can't help it, I'm of Scottish ancestry. Clan Anderson, of the pretty blue tartan worn by Dame Judith. So of course:
The 7 characters I would do on a moment's notice (I know, it's supposed to be actors, but I am really more into the characters. And it's my fantasy, dammit. And I stole the idea from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daisy_gamgee anyway.):
1. Pippin
2. Merry
3. Indiana Jones
4. Han Solo
5. Heathcliffe from "Wuthering Heights"
6. Inigo Montoya
7. Anybody played by Humphrey Bogart, but especially the one in "To Have and Have Not" (whose name escapes me but Lauren Bacall called him "Steve")
And that 100 banned books thing:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Harry Potter (Series) by J.K. Rowling
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Earth’s Children (Series) by Jean M. Auel
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
The Dead Zone by Stephen King
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
Where’s Waldo? by Martin Hanford
Hmmm, not a very good showing! Clearly I need to read more... and some of them are, in fact, on my "to be read" shelf. It's a bi-i-i-i-g shelf. (I tried to put that list as an lj-cut, but I couldn't get it to work for the life of me -- sorry!)
Danced last night, and my feet are sore but I'm happy. It was contra dancing, and some on chat wanted to know what that is. It's hobbit dancing, American style. They'd be doing English and Scottish set dances (and names like the Maiden's Braid and the Swain's Promise are entirely appropriate; they might also have place-names like the Tookburough Reel and Crossing Buckland). Contra dancing is the Americanized version, with mostly square dancing figures like do-si-do, allemande left, etc., but some set figures like hey-for-four and petronella. Oh, never mind. But it's fun.
I am...
