Love always finds a way, it's true

I will be the first to admit that I shamelessly look up at the night sky and try to find Evangeline. There's a fantastic view of the stars from my back porch, especially of Orion. He's my buddy. I know Evangeline is up there too. :) I will say that, as great as the view is, it's nothing like looking up at the night sky in Santa Maria. I've never

Nyah! I look up at the night sky looking for Evangeline, too! She's a different star every time I look, but that's what's fun about it. :3

I'm a creature of solitude. I like spending time by myself a lot. A lot, a lot! But that's probably because I get enough to people at work. When I'm at the frame shop, I go stir-crazy 'cause there's nobody to talk to! Yes. I am a paradox.

And I agree! I am in love with books. They are my great escapes. For a little while, I'm somewhere else--someone else. There's nothing more magical than that.

Same here! I can never decide which star she is! :)

Ditto to the books as well. For just a little while, I get to so somewhere else, which is so cool. ^^ One of my professors likes to say that the greatest gift you can give someone is a book! :D

I had my own nickname at most of the bookshops I used to lurk in as a kid. They knew to check around the shelves before they closed for the night.

According to the removal guy I nearly killed with my boxes, I have three times as many books as the average British family. I didn't have the heart to tell him about all the boxes in my parents' attic.

Gotta say, working in bookselling was the happiest job I've ever had. Except for the customers. But now I get to lurk in my study all day - Amazon one-click is the work of the devil.

Hahaha I can only imagine his look if you HAD mentioned the attic books. :)

I have to clean out my bookcase every year (I still live at home, so there's not much room, sadly), but it's still always in a state of perpetual bursting. Someday I want to have a whole room with shelves for walls. :D

That only works until you fill all those shelves double-stacked, and then you have to start angling for more bookshelves in the spare room. And the living room. And the dining-room... You get the idea.

The bit I liked best in the McKinley book 'Beauty' was the library. :)

I get my book habit from my mother - we just bought more shelves.

[mrssnape13]

Yeah, I can see myself investing in shelves in the stock market one day, just to get a bit of my own back. Haha

Same here! My mom loves to read, and she passed that on to me. We're always finding new ways to fit more books into a room. :)
