I hate it when people do that. :<
..just because I'm not reading it now doesn't mean I won't.

But then again, I am no match against teh-almighty-old-people.
So they sold my poor babies to the orphanage. =~=

...Wait, What? (Goes back a bit to find out where conversation went.)

yeah mine went to the same place. I was so sad and then I was like are you happy grandma D:< and she said yes and i was like =o YOU HATE ME -run run cry slam bedroom door-

I usually give away some of my books if I seriously haven't read them in a long long time.
I will NOT however, ever give up my box set of Chobits.

if i have to i put them on paperbackswap so i can get more books xD. i only donate when my gran keeps nagging at me. and she is good at it.

I might give away the romance novels I inadvertently picked up from work (they were free, there was a whole box of 'em.)

@Guivre: Yeah i know movies can become books. My cousins read the Disney's Cheetah Girls things and the Lizzy McGuire books... Which scare me, just a little.

@Cherry: I think I have the too...

@Aislin: It's a bad Wednesday. They changed the room of my class, without telling the students. Since we hadn't met the teacher yet we all sat there, and the English Comp teacher (the guy we thought was our teacher) didn't take attendance till an hour into the lecture. Then went "Oh, there was a room change this morning."
There is a big difference between English 1 comp and Lit theory & Crit. U_U

Only bright side is the Lit teacher is very nice, but that campus is to large to have us running around in the cold.

xD
-is late on this, but..-
No no, not that kind of baby and orphanage, but.. close. xD

Heh, I don't have that kind of problem with my books.
..because they're all already donated/sold? :<
Suure..

..but I've also lately turned my brother's room into my library. >:3

xD. well I do have a few books I keep cause I well payed for them but i mostly get books for free thats why my grandma always wants me to pay it forward >.<

Same situation.. xD
..except I'm not that lucky, getting free books.. ._.

Well, I think I'm going to have to do my homework sooner or later.. >w>

Yeah, they started giving out free romance novels. It's...um... weird.
They give out free books at Dragon*Con and other conventions, too. I got like, three free books at D*Con this year.

@kat - yay extract! will read later.
new keyboard. D:

@dani - you think too much. stop thinking.

@feyona - mostly i was crying because my mom says that all the time, just to piss me off. XD

@jenova - chobitsuuuuu~

@actual book discussion - i am planning to read every book book i have that i can't remember the summary to or i can't bear to let go of so that i can finally say i've read it and hate it so i can put it up on paperbackswap. there's quite a few books like that on my shelves.

I should probably do that, too. xD

Ooh, any east-coasters going to AWA? : D

what's AWA?

It's an anime convention in Atlanta. O3O~

the only con we have here is JaFax. TAT

Is it.. fuun~ ? 0w0
xD

I've only ever been to one conventions, actually, just last fall. >.>

@Gray: Oh my friend goes to AWA every year, unfortunately it's to far south for me. I'm waiting till Otakon in July. Possibly AnimeNEXT in June but don't quote me on that one. xD
I love conventions because dealer's room means manga = $2!

Speaking of conventions, does anyone know of book conventions things on the east coast? I think those would be so much fun (that and last time I cosplayed as a book character no one got it).

Awesome. : D

Unfortunately, I haven't been out too much to know of many conventions. :<
..but who did you cos as/ out of which book? : D
-will probably fail to recognize it too-

Random, but..
..I love to draw book characters. : D
(Maybe not that random because you were talking about cosplaying them? O3O)
The author's already given you a description of the characters, but you can still kind of get creative with them. : D

I can't remember the name of the book because it was a short story in an anthology book I read at the library (I knew it back then when I cosplayed) but the girls name was Miyko and she was a witch. She wore like rock tee's and school skirts with platform sneakers that flames came out of them. xD I think feathers grew out of her face too...

I need to find that book again, I might go to the library tomorrow and search for it, if I do I'll tell you. Curse my bad memory.

Gray Noodle: Dragon*Con is in Atlanta, too. You should come! :D We should make a Menewsha party there.

Dressing up as book characters is wonderfully fun. :yes: You're free to decide the little details for yourself instead of seeing an image clearly define them for you.

I myself am going as a book character to my local conventions this year.

@conventions - i'm already planning for otakon.
possibly even animenext, but i'm not sure about the whole month between them.
not awa, though. plus it would be really sad that i couldn't go with friends.
(although technically, i'm not an east-coaster anymore, i still go to otakon. x3)
awa and dragon*can make me wish i lived in atlanta. D:

the only convention really close to me is coming up in february. worst con time ever.
thanks, ikkicon. you aren't even during my friends' spring breaks.
and there's armadillocon, for sci-fi, and i may or may not go, depending.
but i must go to a-kon. it would be wrong to be living in texas and not go to a-kon.
... YAY CONVENTIONS.

speaking of events, there's a steampunk event coming up at the local goth/punk/alt club but it's only 21 and over. >:[
much sadness.
i will have to wait for the annual zombie walk in october to be involved in something awesome.

Who here has read Tuck Everlasting?
I was just talking about it, and now I want to reread it. The last time I read it was when the movie came out, and I must have been... 11 or 12 at the time. And it isn't a kiddie book, so I think I can reread it without going "Oh god, I LIKED this?!" and having my memory of it forever tainted.

@Cherry: I've read it. I actually didn't like it because I didn't agree with her choice (which I won't say anything about because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it).
