I can't think of anything else to say.
getting information to the people who need it most, preserving a record of what's being written now so that someone else can actually find and access it in the future, ummmmm, you love working with people...
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

ION, I'm struggling to figure out what to say in my Statement of Career Objectives for my library school app. Um, I want to be a librarian! I love books and libraries, and I like organizing stuff. I can't think of anything else to say.
How about "Shhhhhhhhh. Take it outside."?
Pfft. Dude, that is SO 1972 J.G. Ballard's introduction to the French translation of Crash.
Ha! Considering your take on "authenticity," I'd think you would love this book when you're not rolling your eyes at De Zengotita's self-indulgence.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Of course, Uma at 18 is very different than Uma today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was wondering when pictures would start turning up in this discussion.
Kate, why do you like libraries? Why better than other ways of getting to books? Why do you like organizing stuff? How can these things help people (whenever I had any sort of proposal to write, people told me to put in the "help people" part). Does it help?

I sometimes think Uma is very pretty in that strikingly odd and unusual way, much like Rossy de Palma.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Kate, tell 'em a good taxonomy is better than sex. Okay, not better than actual good sex, but better than this-isn't-going-to-work-out-after-all,-is-it? sex.

Hmm. I think Uma's pretty hot when she's not going to the Oscars. I also prefer the Aguilera to the Spears, although it's only recently I've paid enough attention to pick a side at all. And they both have nice voices. But who is this Sevigny character? And what is up with those clothes interrobang
