William ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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."
If you're wearing white face makeup in a vampire movie (or anywhere, really)
Or dark makeup...say, if you are Adam Ant and wearing a midriff-baring top, and everyone's wondering if you are wearing a white t-shirt underneath because those abs are not even the same race as your face.
heh ... at jury duty the other day one juror called for a panel had the last name "Ant" and I immediately thought "Adam?"
I just finished reading Julie and Julia. It made me want a Project. Not necessarily cooking, but some sort of Project like that.
Another rather good Twilight themed t-shirt (also not "...and then Buffy staked Edward. The end." Which remains my very favourite.)
Edward before he was sparkly...
Sophia I'm a bad library patron and I've run up large fines before.
The library forgave one of the fine the first time it was really big, they offered to do it. Then I discovered that when I got a library card (after not having gone for so long) they misspelled my last name in the computer and after almost a year when I used my ID to check out I discovered there was a fine that was years and years old. That one they didn't forgive but I was able to pay it off gradually. I think every time I checked out books I made a small payment on it.
That one was books that I hadn't returned and since lost. Probably 5 books and the fine was like $90.
And THAT, right there, is why I do not use libraries. Much as I approve of them.
Thank yo askye. I haven't returned yet, but I will on Monday or Tuesday.
The Buffistas, as a group, would make a fascinating sociological study for librarians.
I can do the library when I get in the groove. Right now, I'm all caught up with fines, and I'm going regularly because I'm taking Sara for the program once a week, and being able to renew online is making a HUGE difference.
The problem for me is when I slip up and keep something late. I'll always return my books, but at that point, like, in the dead of night, in the book drop. And then I don't want to pay the fine, or I can't afford to pay the fine, and it becomes a Whole Big Thing.
The best thing ever is when my library started sending email alerts when things were coming due. That's saved my bacon more than once.
They also have an online request system. Part of the fun of going to the library for me is browing and finding something I've never heard of. That said, if I want to read a best-seller but don't want to buy it, the hold request is a thing of beauty. Thanks to that, I didn't have to spend any money to find out that I disliked "Twilight."
