In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry, and is generally considered to have been a bad move. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. "You'd better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It's unpleasently like being drunk." "What's so unpleasant about being drunk?" "You ask a glass of water.'" "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job " "Bad luck is when you win the lottery, and God decides it's a nice day to end the Universe." "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." Douglas Noel Adams (1952-2001) ~_~ www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Douglas_Adams

Wheee! Some quotes that are to hang on my wall (when I get the time to put them up...): "A pen may be just as uesfully employed in crossing out as in writing." --Quintilian "All good writing is like swimming under water and holding your breath."-Don't know. It doesn't say... "Good manners are a way of making things easier for another person." --Jeanna Thwaites "He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes, he who does not is a fool forever." --Chinese proveb "There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein." --Red Smith "A critic is a person who knows the way but can't drive the car."-- Kenneth Tynis "A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."--Thomas Mann "Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappoointed."--Alexander pope "I'm exhausted. I spent all morning putting in a comma and all afternoon taking it out."--Oscar Wilde "Elevate those guns a little lower!"--AndrewJackson at the Battle of Mobile, 1815 "I am at home everywhere and nowhere. I am never a stranger and I never quite belong."--I can't find this one. When I'll do, I'll put the name here. And yes, that part is bolded on the poster. This one is my fav. >^_^< "Ally is permitted to be crazy at the same time she is given responsibility for important legal matters."--I googleized myself last year. This was one thing that came up. I always found it funny. >^_^< (If anyone wants to googlis themselves, the link is images.googlism.com/. Try it out. It's funny.) "Who with an ounce of sanity would give you a card with the word 'cataclysm' on it?" Piro, from Megatokyo. "They say things like I'm not funny anymore, or thati'm too mushy, or that this head that I'm holding is suddenly much smaller than it was before. Or ask whyI suddenly have black kitty ears sticking out of my head. *pause* I don't know why I have little black kity ears sticking out of my head. This is your fault. You made me like this, all of you did."--Piro (at least, I think it was supposed to be him) from the little side thing fred gallager did a year or two ago (or five, or six, i'm not really sure... ^^; ----- And that's all for now. ^_^

Oooh, okay! Gots some!
On Things Librarians are Asked... (the following were taken from a calander page stuck on the wall at work. They are all real questions asked by patrons to librarians.)
~"Could you tell me why so many Civil War battles were fought on National Park sites?"
~"I was in here about three weeks ago looking at a cookbook that cost $39.99. Do you know which one that was?"
~"Which outlet in the library is appropriate for my hair dryer?"

"Hey, which one's the one where the stuff really happened, fiction or non-fiction?" - Some patron asking me a question back in the days when I worked at the library
(I don't really remember if that's exactly what they said... It may have been "Which one's the one where all the stuff is made up," but either way, I think it's pretty fun)

Okay, here's a conversation at an interview for a christian school (I replaced my real name with Shippo for clarity):
Interviewing Woman: If someone on the street asked you, "Shippo, what must I do to be saved?" what would you say. Shippo: Well, first I'd say, "Who are you, and how do you know my name?!"
^^;; I'm not going to that christian school ^_^;

lol, good one shippo.
gI've been a long time on the highway, I've been a long time on the run. And it gets to be like chaos when I'm so long away from home. And sometimes it's just to much to bare and I hide behind my eyes. I can picture friendly faces and I can dream of friendly skies. And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.h ~John Denver

'You can't hang up on me, I'm Tasha!!!' Courtesy of my friend during a phone conversation as we were deciding which movie to watch.
'Grrrrrrrrrrrr...' 'Are you growling at the defendant, Mr. Something-something?' 'GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrROWL, snarl!' 'Are you growling at ME, Mr. Something-something?!' This is from the movie that we ended up seeing. Sorry that I couldn't remember Mr. Something-something's name. I think it might be Johnson.

Cause I was wondering if anyone else watched 'The Shaggy Dog'-Woops. Aw crud. Hey, you hear that noise? That's the sound of my reputation going down the toilet. Even with a nakie Tim Allen, I still can't believe I watched it.
