I probably wouldn't watch so much convention if it weren't for Keith and Rachel. Though I am a proud Dem.(just not one of those people that bitches if she doesn't hear every second.) I just don't know if I love them enough to watch the ReoubsETA: Honestly, I think I love them enough to watch them clean their closets. But even that is more interesting than puffy, bigoted white guys.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I leaned over the edge of the bed, and stretched my arms veeery far, I could get my book in a sliver of light from the hall.
Heh. I'm not sure if I ever actually WAS afraid of the dark (I think I was) but I figured out that if I said I was, and got the door open with the hall light coming in, I could then read by the light of that...but I got in lots of trouble when I got caught for that. Though I still say that the punishments for that were excessive.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I think I got into more trouble for reading in low light, than I did for reading past my bedtime. I liked reading by candlelight, and my dad used to raise heck when he caught me at it. Of course, this was probably at a later age than what you all are referring to, as my older sister completely controlled the light level in our bedroom until she moved out.

Took your book away, did they?

Illegal for use/sale/manufacture in the United States, though. There are a number of law schools that have turned off Internet access in classrooms. It's one of the ongoing conversations right now amongst the Deans.

I remember I had to tilt the book just right to be able to distinguish the letters from the page. I got pretty speedy at hiding the book and pretending I was asleep.

I could occasionally convince my mother to leave the hall light on. Most of the time, I had to lean over the bed to use the hallway nightlight. It always made my eyes tired, so I really didn't do a lot of reading that way. Still, whenever I could!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My Mother wouldn't let me, brace yourselves, READ IN THE CAR.
She had heard via some pre-internet Hippy SPAM grapevine that it was bad for your eyes. So we'd be in the car for HOURS and I would have to not read.
