Oh, as a kind of unrelated PS, those of you who followed the story of our local library closure through my TT between November and May will be interested in yesterday's post below.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It's easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!
17 tell me a story:
That's one bloody list..
sorry I couldn't resist :)
Ick! :)
What a great theme!!
Amazing! A Monty Python sketch I have never seen before!
I'll have to check out that BBC thing. It looks interesting.
I swear that song title's different on my Evanescence album. Think they made a special one for me, just so I'm an idiot?
Heck, I wouldn't put it past anyone.
I've been doing the happy dance for you about the library. Been doing a TON of lurking lately, but I've been here (and there and everywhere else).
I leave you with this immortal bloody saying: It's just a flesh wound!
Happy TT, darling!
this was a great list. i especially loved the coldplay shout out!
That's a really interesting list. I just read a Barbara Vine novel called "The Blood Doctor."
I'm fascinated with blood themes myself. I'll defnitely check out some of these vids!
Great bloody list:) Happy TT.
WOW! Bloody lists here:) And I like the #1 from Cold Play too!
