Bethberry, I was curious about your sig: what is it from?

[Bêthberry]

Thanks for asking, Aman.

It is from Neil Gaiman's splendidly strange and frightening tale of a young's girl's courage and adventure, Coraline.

In the last few months I have probably gone through nine or ten different sigs, most of them old ones that I had decided could use some reviving but then quickly decided differently. In the end, I think I shall finally stick with this completely new sig:

'The Mathemagician nodded knowingly and stroked his chin several times. "You'll find," he remarked to Milo gently, "that the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's hardly worth the effort."'

A quote from the wonderful 'children's' book, The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. The book was written and published in 1961. It really is quite a wonderful book! It has been likened to Alice in Wonderland for its use of puns and plays on words. Highly recommended.

Ah! And I suppose you would never believe what I chanced to be reading yesterday? That's right - one of my friends declared that Coraline should have been a necessary part of my childhood (this would be the same friend who was horrified when I said I hadn't even heard of the Faraway Tree and thrust it upon me). I came to that point and smiled as I recognised it, Bethberry

Alas, I must say goodbye to my standing sig and avatar.

Puss in Boots was great -- but a greater movie came along. Thus, Puss in Boots



is to be replaced with Spiderman



And my awesome sig which is a mixture of Bill and Ted, Matrix, and Peter Pan

Be excellent to each other! Party on, Dudes!
Purpose of life is to end, but to die will be an awfully big adventure.

is to be replaced with the tag lines of Spiderman 2 since the most excellent IMDB doesn't have the cool Spidey quotes up yet. *dark glower*

Cheers!

I'm retiring

"Pray for mercy from Puss in Boots!"

for a sequence from American Outlaws, but I'm keeping my avatar. I've grown quite attached to it.

My avvy needs a good make-over, and a trim. Here it is, may it rest in peace and ect.

Too long, too varied, and thus it ends.

I was going to do a siggy serial...but I got bored with it too quickly. Anyway, I lay to rest my wonderful dreams quote:

Darkness on the edge, shadows where I stand; I search for the time on a watch with no hands. I want to see you clearly, come closer than this, but all I remember are the dreams in the mist.
