So I decided to rearrange my room this past weekend. I was seriously running out of room for books.
-A little background. I live with my boyfriend @ his parents house (long story). I have half of a finished basement for my computer/books..etc and I sleep in his room. I am a bookworm and a half. I am also a very messy person.-
When I brought up the idea to my boyf, he said great! He even made me a deal. If I keep my room clean, he'll buy my bookcases. And he did Along with a nice book database program.
And that's what I'm doing now. My books have never been organized, I never had enough space. Well now that I do, and then some, it's time for some alphabetization! So I have everything sorted by genre. I have horror, fantasy/hist fict, misc and authors (like King, Koontz...stuff I have a lot of). Now I'm working on scanning everything in and making damn sure I note the location. I am notorious for 'losing' books and rebuying them, only to have them turn up at a later date. This program allows me to write exactly where the book is, IE: "Fantasy Shelf 1, back". So no more lost books! And no more dupes. I can export my book list to my iPod so when I am out book shopping, I can see what I have.

Since I'm talking about books, I got the best book-related birthday present (altho, a little early). One of my friends came running over to me as soon as I got into work. Her boyfriend works @ an outlet center near where we live. Apparently the Borders Outlet is closing down and EVERYTHING is going to be ONE DOLLAR. BOOKS!!!! For ONE DOLLAR!!! AND Friday is payday!! I am so excited. I'll be @ that Borders Outlet as soon as they open Saturday. And my birthday is Sunday. Happy birthday me, from Borders

And when I got home, I had an email from AmyArt. She accepted my commission. I am eagerly anticipating her awesome art of me as a zombie killer.
