When you see this on your friends list, quote Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Spike: It's a big rock.  I can't wait to tell all my friends.  They don't have a rock this big!

So, berrylicious877 made me this icon based on a conversation we just had about my general distaste for mass market paperbacks.

I used to have pretty much nothing BUT mass market paperbacks, but somewhere in between moving out of my parents' house, my reading tastes changing somewhat, and starting my book collection almost from the ground up, I stopped buying ( Read more... )

I just got an Apple TV tonight, since Santa Claus brought me a bunch of Apple gift cards.

I did it, I did it, I did it...I wrote over 50,000 words in one month and became a "winner" of National Novel Writing Month. I've tried to do this SO many other Novembers, but something else has always come up. This year I just felt really determined, and I made it.
