Got a bunch of old books from home to sell, and as I'm going through the boxes, what should I find but my old, battered copy of Dragon of the Lost Sea! M-MY CHILDHOOD. Although if I want to read it again, I'll probably need to wear a particle mask, because Jesus Christ everything in that barn was sending up these huge, sinus-wrenching clouds of dust and pollen and other evil things.

In the back of the book, I found, in what would be my handwriting now if I was deranged and maybe had the DTs, "This is a great book". LOL. Man, I was a retarded kid. Flipping through the books to check on their condition, I'm finding other odd little things, like, for instance, in An Acceptable Time by Madeline L'Engle, a post-it note that inexplicably reads:

Transportation

scenic

tariff

mileage

Again, it looks like my handwriting, if I'd perhaps downed a bottle of cough syrup and then drank 10 cups of coffee. I dunno, maybe it was for a spelling quiz? But why a post-it? I didn't exactly keep a supply of post-its in my bookbag when I went to school... (Also, if it was for a spelling quiz, the handwriting would sure be unfortunate, since I could barely make out a couple of these words...)

(If anyone's interested, btw, you can find my books for sale here. I'll be putting up a few new ones at a time over the course of forever the next couple of weeks. There's a few BPAL auctions and a few manga and DVDs, too. ALSO DISCLAIMER OH MY GOD - some of those books were given to me, LIKE SAY THE DR. PHIL ONES. Let no one ever come to the mistaken impression that I have anything but the deepest contempt for that man.)

...

UNRELATEDLY, I kind of wish someone would do another one of those pan-fandom friending memes. I have trouble resisting a friending meme, for some reason. I know I shouldn't! I know I can barely keep up as it is! Well actually it would be quite a stretch to say I keep up, tbh. B-but I'm always getting into things and having no one to talk about them with and, and! And uh every time I see a fandom questionnaire I sort of just feel this burning compulsion to fill it out. :Oa
