Ok, before I start, let me say that I finally got a facebook, but I will only be checking it and/or responding on it once a week. It is simply so people will stop begging me to get one. My personal favorite is still this blog thing.
Ok, so check out this news story I found.
HARRISON, N.Y. - Even the dead apparently have to pay the fines on their overdue books at one Westchester County library. Elizabeth Schaper said she was charged a 50-cent late fee while turning in a book that her late mother had checked out of a Harrison Public Library branch.
WHAT??? This is typical of libraries, though. Well think about it, how else are they gonna make money? I asked one time, and the lady said that they charge late fees to...inspire people to return books on time, because there might be someone else waiting for them. Ha. I usually need a book for a week longer than the check out time, so maybe if they increased the possible check out time, more people would return on time. I'm not going to the library any more, because they are saying I didn't return a book that I checked out last year, and they want $40. I'm not paying that cuz I know I returned the book. That's a load of crap. Forty bucks for a book? I checked the price on that book cuz it's somehting I do, and it was $8.75!! What kind of crazy profit are they trying to pull?? That's like a 400% profit. Crazy librarian people. Mother, I can say this and not offend you, cuz you usually waive your fees, and they're soooooo cheap at that. No worries.
So it's finally Friday. About time. Slow week this week. On the other hand, I have a paper due tomorrow that I'm not very excited about... My calendar also says I have an exam, but the teacher hasn't talked about studying or preparing or anything, so I'll read over my notes again tonight, but I'm thinking the test has been moved a week away. I could be alright with that. I think I'm gonna try to head out to the range this weekend. I haven't been in over a month, and that's bad for accuracy. Maybe tomorrow after school... We'll see.
What's your favorite TV show? I will always say Friends, even though it's not on the air anymore. I own the entire show including bloopers, commentaries, interviews, the whole thing. I love shows like House, CSI, Numbers, not so much the sitcoms. Most sitcoms out today get their humor from making husbands into lazy and stupid oafs, and I think it's wrong to demean them so. If they're not making fun of husbands, it's parents in general. The kids run the house, and I don't agree with that, either. By the way, did you catch the typo two paragraphs ago? Hmm. I think I'm gonna go now. Later,

So I didn't find the on purpose comment, but I pointed out another one for you to fix. Do I still get a prize?
You know you can go to the library and get a new account and they don't know the difference? Once you change your address, you can get a new account.
At most libraries, you know, you can renew your books for a longer date. So you can keep it for a bit longer. I just did that for a book the other day. =)
And I barely ever watch TV, so I don't believe I have a favorite TV show.
You misspelled something...but I suspect you did that on purpose. Favorite tv show? Everybody knows I'm a total dork, and what my favorite tv show is, so I refuse to answer! lol...
I go in streaks with libraries...I'll go several times a week and then I'll take a break for a while. I'm on hiatus at the moment.
*cough* Wheel of Fortune *cough*
the creepiest place the world is library bathrooms--- cold, sterile, silent, except maybe the hum of the vent. I swear that's where the perverted axe murderers hide in wait!
