Too many emotions, can't sleep.

They aren't even about anything, they're just -- sloshing around. Restlessly.

Ugh, brain, this is what I feed you fanfic for! Can't there be some part of the day dedicated to something other than feelings? Unconsciousness, for example, would be an excellent thing to devote at least part of the day to. I really do think.

okay also I do actually have somewhere around 1000 books, or as near as I can figure, and had roughly 1500 before I moved, even though I pulled the number out of my butt.

Came to the idea of 1000 by estimating based on size. I have three of the same type of bookshelves that are completely full and double-stacked (i.e. hardbacks behind the front stacks of paperbacks, or two stacks of paperbacks on one shelf) so I'm estimating that they all have three hundred books (300) apiece. (There are 2 shelves on each of these 3 bookcase that contain six stacks of ~12 paperbacks each. It's like a word problem! I like math when I'm calculating how many books I own :D :D :D) I have one bookshelf that probably only has 150 because it's mostly hardbacks, so that's roughly 1050.

Shortly before/after the move, I donated roughly 250 romance novels to my mother who is SUPPOSEDLY taking them to goodwill (riiiight) and I know she still had about 75 or 100 of my books before I moved out that she hasn't given back, so that's 350. Total of roughly 1400 books and I'm pretty sure there's another 50 or so hanging around my parents' house. You might think I'm joking but I had books in laundry baskets, books in boxes that otherwise contained nothing but clothes, books in boxes of sex toys, books in with my yarn, books in suitcases that I hadn't opened since I came back from California 6 years ago... and of course the 4 bookshelves worth, so I'm sure there are at least 50 still loitering around my parents' house, ready to fall on unsuspecting prey.

Also, uh, remember what I got arrested for? Yeah, what did you think I was stealing? >_>

So basically:

-lots of books
-A+ estimating skills
-take inquiries about your books VERY SERIOUSLY
-have stored books with sex toys
-no but seriously that last item

Yeah, I knew I liked you.

IF YOU ASK SOMETHING ABOUT MY BOOKS, I ASSUME YOU WANT TO KNOW IT

the real problem here is that the rest of the house is still so unorganized i can't justify alphabetizing my books by author and then within author, by series order. :(

also of course i store books with sex toys where do you think my erotica and slash magazines are?

[enemyofperfect]

Awww, that is a sad problem! :( But you can look forward to that, at least? Like dessert?

(Actually, I don't understand saving dessert for last. Sweet things make great appetizers! But, ahem.)

I kind of think that storing any books with sex toys would be appropriate -- well okay, not books about things that are turn-offs. But any other books! WORDS ARE SEXY.
