And she will come up to you when you're clearly doing something else (say, reading a book) and just start small talk like "so, do you have any pets?". Ugh.
Maybe people who do that just aren't readers and what goes through their minds when they see someone sitting reading is, "Oh, she's reading a book; she must be so bored! I'll help."
Germany/Austria. Those folks give new meaning to the word brusque.
Heh. When I was there, everyone was unfailingly polite to me.
I've been rereading Anne of Green Gables for the zillionth time, and I'm almost at the end, and now I remembered what happens at the end and I don't want to read any more because I know I'll cry.
...what happened at the end?
Glad you're hee, askye, and glad you're happier.
...what happened at the end?
Dude, you haven't read Anne of Green Gables?
askye, that's great! How wonderful.
I am skimming through my Peace Corps journal. I forgot how sick I was at first.
...what happened at the end?
White-fonting century-old book, for no good reason:
Matthew dies, and the doctor tells Marilla that, if she stops reading and sewing and crying and doing anything that strains her eyes, then she might not go blind, and the bank collapses and they lose all of their savings. So then Anne, even though she just won a full scholarship to college, decides to stay home and help Marilla and teach at the Avonlea school instead, so that Marilla won't have to sell Green Gables.
Askye, I am so glad you failed. You make our lives better for being part of this group.
Hil, interview-ma.
Our Trader Joe's expanded. More goodies to try, and, along those lines the dark chocolate pretzel bark is very yum!
Askye, I'm glad you're here.
Dude, you haven't read Anne of Green Gables?
Long ago, when I was a kid. I remember a few bits of it, but it wasn't a favorite.
Thanks for telling me the ending, Hil. That's supremely depressing. No wonder I didn't remember it.
Dude, you haven't read Anne of Green Gables?
Note to self: Don't admit to Dana that I haven't read Anne of Green Gables either.
Everyone should read Anne of Green Gables. And watch The IT Crowd. And like The IT Crowd.
