I thought that perhaps, you too, might be afraid of them, but it turns out your relationship with them is different. I love books and i love reading, but I can't touch library books! i used to all the time and my used textbooks are fine as long as they are only 2nd generation. I don't get it! I am a BIO major so all the research I need to do is through scientific articles and those are online with passwords. But of course I now have a class that needs book references. Oh no!

But can I come disguised as my own archtype?? I'd like to come as the patchouli and amber-scented, hemp-wearing soy-bean with the unattractively long hair who is writing the TRUE biography of Jerry Garcia. I’d like to join, please.

I always work in the wrong libraries. Library books are TOTALLY easy, every librarian knows this, which is why late fees are only $.10 a day. But don't spill chili on them, or no more milk for free.

I'd join your writing group, please. 2. I had to stop keeping library books after I was thrown out of one (private) library, and my university withheld my masters until I brought back a book I'd taken out months earlier. 3. Did the bi-polar test on the web-site. I came out as very bi-polar. Yesterday I bought three expensive dresses on line. But I'd put it down to a bit of hyperactivity not mental imbalance... So how do bi-polar depressives really behave, in your experience. 1. I’d join your writing group, please.

I relate like you can't believe. But you know that. I joined a writer's group for a week and then it fell apart anyway as the flaky L.A. people tend to be. Being a comedy writer anyway, I don't have to patience to listen to someone's dissertation on how there really are no two snowflakes that are exactly alike.........sorry fell asleep for a second....why don't you move down here and we'll be friends. Done and done. Oh dear. I relate like you can’t believe. But you know that. I joined a writer’s group for a week and then it fell apart anyway as the flaky L.A. people tend to be.

They were mandatory in college and killed just about every shred of confidence in myself as a writer. However, one great moment that did come from said workshops was when the truly hated fiction writing professor passed out one of her works for us to critique, but didn't tell us it was hers. We all assumed it was a classmates, as that was the custom each week. The hour that followed was probably the worst of her life as we ripped the story to pieces. It was truly one of the worst stories we'd ever read - which was saying a lot for that class. At the end of class when she told us quietly that the story was hers and thanked us for our "candor", you could have heard a pin drop. We would probably have felt more guilty if she had not been so cruel and obnoxious about our works - and we had some really great writers in our class! Anyway, best of luck finding the mythical "cool writers group." Failing that, you really should join myspace. It's great!
