I would love to have an old church. And Buffista Castle sounds only natural.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I love that gorgeous haunted mansion. That would be fantastic, but man, it would take a lot of renovation. And, as we all know, renovating a haunted property brings ALL the ghosts to the yard.
While I like fancy and antique editions of books, I prefer books I don't have to worry about. But if I ever get a 1st ed. of Something Wicked This Way Comes, I am going to build a shrine for it.
My numbered edition of ten volumes of The Thousand And One Nights has a special place in the glassed-in bookshelf, and I love them, but for the most part, I prefer books I can read, and haul around and eat with and let the cats walk on and not worry about them.

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'm torn between the haunted mansion on the island and a church. The idea of Buffista Cathedral or the Church of the Blessed Snark beckons like a thing that is beckoning.
My dream library--which extends to many rooms--has a well-protected section for Books That Are Precious And Beautiful and more sections for regular books, including the shelves of taped-up thrift store copies of books that I can shove in my purse with no worries. And read in the tub, of course.
Rather. There was a time in my life when you could tell how well I loved a book by the layers of water damage at the corners. However, it has been more than a decade since I had a comfortable tub in my life.

THIS is the place we need.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy crapsicles, yes we do. How many hidden passageways and secret doors inside wall panels and bookshelves do you imagine that place has?

I like the property, but I'm not living in Pennsylvania. Can we have an East Coast mansion and a West Coast mansion?

Yeah, I'm not sure about Pennsylvania, either. But damn, nice mansion.

Hey! Pennsylvania is beautiful.
