Is this where I get to gloat and say I have whole room for books in my apartment (though I have several shelves worth in other rooms)? That counts as a library, right? Of course, it's also got a futon, so it doubles as a guest bedroom.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

We're slowly re-organizing the dining room to turn it into a library, with a table off to one side that we can eat at. Because our huge dining table? Is not used for dining. It is used for storing books, and for having a gazillion clothing alteration projects (with extra fabric, buttons, and trim) heaped upon.

The status is NOT quo.
Quick literary hive mind question:
What is the name of womb/birth symbolism? I know it has a name and can't remember it. Also, is there a name for the female version of "phallic" symbolism?

I don't know if it's the correct term; just that I've heard it before.

Looks like it googles well. Now to find the womb/birthing term.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
paisleys are symbolic of the womb. I know that's not what you're looking for but it's a fun fact I like to share often.
