The fact that I need to move is a whole other issue in itself. ^_^

The city I used to live in had a library within walking distance of my apartment, so when I moved there I was all excited about that. Then...that winter, we had some really bad weather and I am not sure of the whole story about what happened, but the entire roof of the building collapsed. They tore down the library and built tennis courts there and put off the rebuilding of the library for ages. After about 6 years, things happened and I moved. Fast forward to about a year and a half ago...I hook up with a classmate who lives in my former town because we had a test to study for and we go to the new library... It's frigging phenomenal. I bet they waited till I moved just so I couldn't go there...

BASTARDS!

That's okay...I'm planning on moving eventually (possibly far far away from here) and in the mean time I have enough books to keep me occupied.

A LOT. I'm not a huge fiction person anymore...have to be really drawn to a story or writer to jump into a novel or that sort of thing. Short stories can be okay.
I read a lot on different subjects that interest me, a lot of psych stuff, lot of holistic/natural health, philosophical/spiritual, art books, reference...magazines of all types...anything else that catches my interest.

Have you read Findley's The Pilgrim? You sound like someone who would enjoy this book.

I just read the description...I think I'm living that book!

j/k It does sound like an interesting story and I haven't read it.

It's a highly psychological read, a friend of mine suggested it to me when he found out I was a double major of English and Psych

The fact that Jung is the one mentioned is what makes it a possible read for me.

I live in a small Wyoming town with 3 libraries in it.

How does that work?


Of course there are also 30 bars and a population that flucuates around 10,000. Give or take 5,000 depending on how the oil fields are doing.

That sounds awesome at this point actually...living here drives me up the wall sometimes in many ways...not to mention how frigging expensive it is.

yea. The rent around here has gone up again. From $900/month for a 1000sq/ft house to $1200.

a gallon of milk is 4 bucks now too.

Rent for a house that size in the area of Jersey where I live (about 20 minutes from NYC by car due to the roads) you can increase that price by about 150% at least. $900-$1200 MIGHT get someone a two bedroom apartment.

The milk price could be across the board. I'm not sure, since I don't drink it but I would assume it's why the yogurt and stuff that I do consume has gone up.

That is the price on a small 2 bedroom appt or on a small house. Around here, the prices are the same either way.

Nothing wrong with 30 bars.... are they close together, if so makes bar hoping very easy and fun.

It's 4$ here too... I go through that in about 2 weeks... by myself... is that a lot of milk for a person?
