WOWWWEEEEEEEEEE

Yolyjolyguacamole, guess what I discovered today?

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

No joke right, but I'd completely forgotten about public libraries. I used to be a member of one when I was about 8...in fact I think we've still got some books from it somewhere, but not since then. Of course I spent my time at university holed up in one, but that wasn't a proper public library. My uni one was massive and had all specific books on theories and criticism and stuff, and DVDs of stuff people study on film courses...but it's not like the one I found today.

I'll keep it short because to be honest I'm boring myself a little bit, but it's like a bloody Aladdin's cave in there. DVDs, boxsets of 24, Heroes, Lost and all those other series I couldn't be arsed to watch on TV or buy from Amazon, music CDs, language courses on CD, and BOOKS! So many books! Books in big print, little print, on CD, on cassette...Free books! You just hand your little card over and they give you a book! Or three books! For FREE!

I'm actually annoyed that I only remembered about the existence of my local library today when I just spent like £3 on Amazon to buy the 2nd Twilight book (in the absence of a proper love life I've taken a fancy to a fictional vampire, and what?).

Don't underestimate how excited about this I actually am. You know how I was all "urrrghh, I'm unemployed, what can I do to educate myself" the other day, well I'm off to scan the online library system to see what books (free books!) they have. Then I'm going to read them all. But not until I've watched Crash and Stranger Than Fiction, my DVD rentals for this week.

Woooooooooooopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

(although I did have an overwhelming OCD-like urge to wash my hands once I'd made my selection and left the building, but that's cool. I'll just get some antibacterial hand gel.)
