In this great, wide world we live in, there are a lot of things to love, and a lot of things to hate. And in the U.S. of A, as far as I know, we have that wonderful little thing called the First Amendment and the right of Free Speech. Say what you want-- you can't get in trouble for your opinions!
It still doesn't change the fact that PEOPLE ARE STUPID. *sigh* This is a global epidemic. I wish I could just hypnotize people via computers into NOT doing stupid shit. I know people are allowed to like and hate what they want, but I've always found it extremely retarded to go out and make a HATE LISTING. To go and proclaim, "I HATE ANZU!" or "I HATE KURIBO!" What a waste of time.
You don't see me making an anti-yaoi or yaoi-hate listing, do you? No. I do have my opinions about it, and no, I don't like it all that much, but that's just me-- I keep my opinions to myself when they're not meant to be broadcasted. I like focusing my creative energies on the things I like instead. Why do people have to be so... close-minded? At least I'm tolerant of yaoi and such now-- if someone can plausibly pull it off in a fandom where it isn't canon, then YAY! Point me at it... Yeesh.

We went to Burger King, where Steph was kind enough to treat me to an apple pie and a small coke. Tobey swung on by from the Main Library, and after much food-gnoshing, we all went *back* to the Main Library (much to Tobey's chagrin, I'm sure, since she'd just spent 3 hours there). I started looking for stuff for "The Rose Chronicles," so I started researching the Wars of the Roses. And I found loads of cool stuff!
* The Wars of the Roses: Blood, Treachery, and Cold Steel (VHS) - Isn't that title just the coolest?!
* The Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in Renaissance England From 1485-1649
* Wars of the Roses: A Concise History
* The Yorkist Age: Daily Life during the Wars of the Roses
* The Black Arrow (fiction)
* Lady Robyn (fiction)
Kysra will be proud of me-- I'm actually taking the initiative and doing some research of my own, so I don't need to have her explain everything to me! I watched the VHS last night over a bowl of ravioli... and though they condensed about 65 years of war, bloodshed, and treachery into 50 minutes and lots of dorky role playing and maps, it was still an informative source. I have to watch it again before the due-date on the 17th, and take some more notes. ^_^
While I was running all over the library (even to the children's section!), Steph and Tobey amused themselves by going into chat rooms on the computers. Gawd, people in chats are SO... *shudder* I don't even know what to tell you. People are scary. I'm just going to stick to AIM, thank you very much.
Post-library (which closed at 8pm), we walked to Walgreen's-- man, I have to score the new TIME and Newsweek magazines! I should subscribe to them in LA, if Baba and Grandpa don't already. We hung out at Jack in the Crack for a while... you know I don't eat that kind of food anymore. I did have some of Steph's fries while at BK, but only about... what, 4? Not many at all. ^_^ Some guy was harassing us about free shopping sprees at Rodeo Drive? Bloomingdales and Macy's? I was like, "Er, the Bloomingdales doesn't open until 2006..." and he's like "WOW, you must be an architect or something..." And I'm sure he was being sarcastic. I hate people like that-- it's like NAW, the signs over by the demolished Emporium are only THE SIZE OF YOUR FRIGGIN BODY! Gigantic letters:
Opening in Summer 2006!
Idiots.
After that, we split- I grabbed the 31 home, and Steph and Tobey took... whatever MUNI they took. I read my books on the way there, and... went home. Yep. Such was my day.
Today is Free Day at the zoo, and I still have to call CSUN and ask them "WTF" about these holds-- especially when it appears my aid is more than enough to cover them. I'm kind of paranoid here, I don't want to be disenrolled... I better get dressed and get ready to go though-- I have an hour to get there.
