“ f I use a computer to look at pictures of penises that can be seen by anyone who passes behind me, and that’s okay, then why is it against the rules to expose my own penis to be seen by passers-by? What if the images displayed on the computer were taken of my penis? Is it against the rules only if they can prove it’s my penis and not a stranger’s? So I can expose my own penis to others as long as it’s a digital image displayed on a screen in the library and one can’t prove that it’s mine? What if I print out the image? What if I print the image on a tee-shirt and wear it into the library? What if I take the page with the image and place it in front of my crotch? Is it okay only if my pants are zipped? What if my penis is outside of my pants but concealed behind the printed image? Are these things okay in the library?

This is a little collection of all the things I like. Mainly they will be stories or poems or blogging by other people that I think you should read. Sometimes it will be pictures or videos for you to look at. It won't be music very often because I don't really like music and I only listen to audio books on my mp3 player but no-one can tell so that's all right.

Spurious: Nuns and Dogs
“ Librarians are an odd bunch (I believe we’ve established that time and again in this blog!) They like to write about themselves as a profession. They’re often quite glib, or very very depressed about it. And they’re often quite isolated and alone about it, which is what make Sh…, an interactive blog novel about a bunch of fictitious library workers, so interesting. If you liked “The Librarians”, or even “The Office” (probably more the UK version, not that awful Yankee ripoff) you might very well enjoy a peek…

“ This morning I stopped at the bank to make a deposit before work. I put the card in the machine, punched in the numbers, and received the following message: That is the wrong secret code, dumb ass. Try again. I tried again. I got the same message, only this time it said: You’re fucking kidding me, right? How long have you been banking here? I drove away.

“ move in with me. i am lonely. we can watch television together. we’ll laugh at people who make funny observations. they’ll say stuff like, “wow, celery is crazy huh?” we’ll laugh together and feel closer after having shared something. but in my mind i’ll doubt everything i hear you say. i will consider myself through your reactions. when you get hungry, i’ll make you food. you’ll say, “man i could go for…” and i’ll make it. i’ll put little pieces of glass in the food. and your mouth will flood with blood.
Move in With Me by Sam Pink - featured in: This Zine Will Change Your Life
Like this. It’s only new but I will go back and read some more of it when it is not so new.

i think i would feel better about life if every day, the headlines of major newspapers said happy, good things, instead of shitty things that make you feel like the world is fucked

bye earth: i want to say some things by Brandon Scott Gorrell
After I read this I wanted to do some clapping. So I did, but only quietly. I didn’t use the whole of my hands to clap, just a little bit of them. That’s because it’s almost night and my friend is asleep.
a collection of miscellaneous items
I don’t know if I like this picture or not. But I looked at it for a really long time. And I like collections of miscellaneous things. I used to use that word a lot and then I noticed and it started annoying me so I decided I wouldn’t say ‘miscellaneous’ any more. I didn’t, but I sort of miss it now. I might start saying it again. But moderately.

This is a good story. It made me feel excited, then happy, then really sad, then I giggled and rolled my eyes, but in a friendly, pleased and approving kind of way.
“ Sometimes I will flush the toilet before I am finished peeing so that by the time I am finished peeing the toilet will already be flushing and it will be a really smooth transition.
Sometimes I do this too and I am a girl. I’m quite flexible though. Twisting round to flush the toilet while sitting on it isn’t a problem for me. I consider it a great time saver.
“ I wonder how many others are in the books on the shelves.

I don’t think there are enough short stories about libraries. I really like this post, but the rest of the blog is good too.
