Bookmarks / Questions 4501-4550 of 5000

Corey told me that he doesn't really use bookmarks: he tends to just use torn off corners of paper as bookmarks since those big ones fall out of the book easily. He says that a little piece of paper stays stuck where you left it and works better, even while you're reading the book. That's probably true, but I buy bookmarks anyhow. They're about the cost of a bubble tea or even less if you're not addicted to the beaded ones as I am. Ah well, that's okay... I just took the bookmark out of his book and put it in one of mine: it's all good like that. My feelings aren't hurt at all and I'm glad he told me that, even if I *did* send him a Mickey hand bookmark last year to go with The Vancouver Stories: West Coast Fiction from Canada's Best Writers. :D (he also tried to get me to download Adobe Acrobat Reader, but it's 27.4 MB which is big for a utility program!)

Now to try Nyquil and see if it works for getting me to sleep. It seems to work for a bunch of others... o_O


Got these questions from this QuestionClub LJ post by Arthurbulla. I'm going to post the survey in 50-question batches, like the original. No worries there! Five thousand questions and answers wouldn't fit as an entry, anyhow. :P

Is his writing difficult to understand? Yeah, I guess.
