Ooh, Scrappy, so did mine! At least the New Yorker cartoon collection; our parents had Peanuts covered. The grandparents also had the giant book of Life photographs, most of which are etched in my brain forever (everything from John-John saluting to the Japanese woman tenderly bathing her radiation-crippled daughter to Marilyn Monroe as Theda Bara).
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Do y'all know a good site to introduce a movie-loving internet newb to? Because I know this guy who's sort of isolated, and even if we do meet for coffee, I don't want to be all his friends. (It's not healthy and I'm already feeling some outside pressure about it.)

Most movie blogs are kind of specialized (horror, Hong Kong action etc.)
So maybe something like AVClub? Their inventories and primers are good and interesting.

Yeah, I don't know him well enough to know if he has a movie genre *passion* or not, so that sounds like a good call, Hec.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I was frequently forbidden from bringing books to family gatherings. My mother (the extrovert) was under the impression that without a book i'd actually talk to all the relatives instead of sitting in the corner reading. Boy was she wrong, I just had to find less interesting things to read at the destination.

Erin, I just tried to like your post.

I am known in my family for my love of reading in the tub. When I was a kid, I'd refill at least once. Bubble bath + book = heaven.

I had to buy a few library books in school due to bathtub related incidents.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I read in the tub almost every evening. Heaven.

One of the saddest parts of not having a functional tub is not being able to read in it every night!
