ZOMG IT'S OVER.
AH FINISHED MAH BEWK. :O
It opens and shuts and EVERYTHING. It's not a perfect bind (nor is it single section. lol, bad bookbinding joke 83) but it's an okay one for simply doing its job. After my last dummy I was scared to death I'd made the same mistake again, but a lot of pondering and taking my time let me glue the endpapers down correctly and yey, opens, shuts, wee! :D
Now it's just sitting under a stack of books to help flatten out a little of the endpaper crinklies. It wasn't good paper for the glue - too thin - and even though I spray-mounted two bits of it together, it still cockled a little. The spray mount also got on EVERYTHING and now the pages stick just a little - not like ohshit-there's-glue-on-the-pages stick, but it's just a little tacky. They always easily peel apart.
Oooooh, I don't fucking CARE man! It's a book! I made a book! I don't even care if it's the shittiest one in my class because... well, I MADE A BOOK.
... x3
::wanders away to collapse in bed::
(On a final note, after all this torture and turmoil, WHY DO I WANT TO MAKE MORE?!)
Edit: Actually, that's not the final note!
I had a fuckin' CRAZY dream the night before last that a black hallway opened up in my room (Hi House of Leaves how u doin) and I went through, and then it became a tiny crawlspace (NAVIDSON'D.) and then it opened up again aaaand...
to the left of me was this room, a white room, with. Get this. GET THIS. Naruto doujinshi by Acute girls spread neatly on the floor. YOU SEE WHAT YOUR DESIRES DO TO ME, SHANNON? DO YOU SEEEEEEEEE?
And then I nicked them.
I went back in to get more for Shannon and found... a whole store. Full of aliens. Shopping for doujinshi. And then I met this eccentric bearded dwarf (all the aliens were human-like) and he told me about how he used to work in a factory where he had to catch marbles as they dropped, and now he had to catch any balls he saw falling or he'd flip out like a ninja. The evil villain of my dream, BILL NIGHY heard about this, and kidnapped him and tortured him by dropping more and more marbles for him to catch, then when he was driven half-mad trying to catch them all, he shoved him down a waterfall.
It was... yeah.
