Ginger is me. I get twitchy if I don't have text.
Same here.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Up until whatshername -- the deaf girl who got un-deaf -- decided to do coke because she was mad at her boyfriend and then died because DRUGS ARE EVIL, KIDS!!!
That's about where I ended, too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ouch. That way lies madness
I enjoyed them! I got a whole bunch more from the library. I'm not sure I realized that I was supposed to be embarrassed.

Actually, if you enjoyed them, then no reason you should be embarrassed, right?
I actually only read a couple of both those and SVH/U-- I had grown up reading Cherry Ames that I'd buy at garage sales and rather than the Babysitter's Club or SVH, I read the old line of Silhouette young adult romances.
Of course, I was also reading a lot of the regular Harl/Sil too. And getting Wifey confiscated on a regular basis in seventh grade.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have also read enema instructions, automotive manuals, cereal boxes and lots of bad books.
I do think the MSDS are the most boring, though.
Also, I love Cherry Ames!

That's the thing, though. I was remembering the halcyon days of youth before I learned there were books for girls and books for boys. Back then, I'd read anything. I had no prejudices. I didn't know what I was "supposed" to read or like. I sort of miss it.

Ahh... I get you. Recalling those days, I didn't even realize there were such things as books for grownups and books for kids. It didn't seem at all odd to me to be reading The Thorn Birds when I was ten. It was just an interesting story. Ditto for The Last Convertible, which remains one of my favorite books.
I only figured it out after those books were taken away in classes.

Because books.
Barb is me! Or I am Barb! Whichever, it's a good thing.
Now I sort of want to read The Thorn Birds again.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I had a collection of Thurber stories taken away in 5th grade. Thurber? How is that a bad thing for readers of any age?
