Gonna take his belt and beat him!
I can't drink enough to have a real hangover, but I am not, today, quite my usual perky self... also, breaking my record of keeping five IM windows going at once hasn't made my brain feel any sharper.
But it was great talking to you all anyway. I especially liked the photos. You know who you are. :D
I find I don't, after all, own a copy of The Phantom Tollbooth, although I know I did not that long ago - fuck knows where it got to. I stopped at Waterstone's on the way back from Mum's with the intention of buying another - couldn't find it, so I bought a copy of Raymond E. Feist & Janny Wurts' Daughter of the Empire instead - yet another book I used to own that got lost or left behind at some stage.
I've never been without books at any stage of my life, however up or down it was. Even during the homeless years, whatever squat/tent/abandoned car/garage Mike and I were staying in, it was always filled with books, and neither of us ever went anywhere without one. That was only one of the reasons he and I were so close. For more recent friends - this post explains who Mike was - my best friend, my blood brother, who helped save me although he couldn't save himself. You would have liked him - all of you.
I have, in my own, quiet way, declared war on one of the most irritating posters on TrekBBS. It's not in my nature to be confrontational - but I am going to be notifying the mod furiously every time a certain "dysgenic motherfucker" raises his ugly, reactionary, bigoted, fundie trollish head from here on in. And my thanks to The God Thing for a flame that gave me shudders of pleasure to read it.
No, I'm not going to link it. Go look in QSF. It's well worth a read.

I hear ya. There are women who buy clothes simply to have clothes. Me? I buy books simply to have books. I haven't thrown away/gotten rid of any books that I purchased in the past 8 years at least...which includes college textbooks that would probably make me a couple hundred bucks richer if I sold them back. I just can't bear to part with them. :-(
