Books: Used, New, or Library

celestemichelle @celestemichelle (429) • United States 21 May 09

Where do you get your books? Do you prefer to get brand new books or browse the used book store? Do you use the library? I love used book stores, it's cheaper than buying them new, and I can find rarer books that way too....

celestemichelle @celestemichelle (429) • United States 21 May 09

I recently got a used copy of "The Kite Runner". I've heard good things about it, and it was a best seller, but I don't know anyone personally who has read it. Have you read it? What did you think? I'm still finishing another book...

celestemichelle @celestemichelle (429) • United States 27 Jun 08

Do you have both a cell phone and a home phone? My parents still have both, but I've not had a home phone since I moved out. I just don't see a need for it, since I'm going to have a cell phone anyway, it doesn't seem worth it...

Lies, lies, lies.

celestemichelle @celestemichelle (429) • United States 24 Jun 08

I recently read an article on the freakonomics blog on nytimes.com about why people lie. People lie all the time. Most of them are "white lies" or "social lies" that are used just to make relationships easier, but sometimes you...

Greyhound Lab mix

celestemichelle @celestemichelle (429) • United States 11 Jun 08

A couple I recently met had an unusual dog. It's a greyhound/lab mix. At first glance I just thought it was a small lab, but then I noticed that he carried his ears back, and tail low like the greyhound, and has a more stream-line...

Tampons and toliets

celestemichelle @celestemichelle (429) • United States 8 Apr 08

So, I realize that may be kind of gross, but it's been a concern of mine lately. When I first started using tampons I always wrapped them in toilet paper and put them in the trash can. But one of my friends found out and thought...

Across the Universe

celestemichelle @celestemichelle (429) • United States 21 Oct 07

I watched Across the Universe last weekend, and it was amazing. Definitely the best musical I've seen. Some scenes were heartbreakingly sad and others were incredibly happy. My favorite scene was when Max starts singing "Hey...
