support your local library

I went and joined my local library today, just so that I could get the final book in the series of teenage vampire novels I have been reading.

You know you're in the ghetto when the biggest section in the library is automotive manuals.

In spanish.

I found the teen literature section and my book was not there. The librarian told me they didn't have it yet, even though the book came out three weeks ago.

I'm tempted to do what I did with the third book, which was to buy it from Target and then return it the next day after i finished it. ( I really don't need to own the evidence that i spend my spare time reading teenage vampire romance novels).

The second book I read in Barnes and Nobles, and the first one I actually bought on amazon for $6, and then suffered constant ridicule FOR DAYS from my teenage son who had a lot of feedback about my age versus my reading habits.

Today one of the cats peed on my bed, which only added to my deep-rooted conviction that everyone, domestic animal and teenager alike, is conspiring against me.
