i hate being in unfamiliar situations.

That being said, I have grown very accustomed to the idiot-proof arrangement of literature at Barnes & Noble and would support any plans to eradicate the Dewey Decimal System at my local library.

i am stubborn.

That being said, I will not admit to a librarian that after circling the library for 45 minutes and cursing at the heavens in 3 different languages, I am still unable to locate the memoir I came here to find... after all, smart people know how to navigate a library... and I AM a smart person.... right?

so... I head back to Barnes & Noble and buy the book for $24.99, read it within 36 hours and throw it onto a high shelf where it will collect dust until the next time I decide to move....

In retrospect... that is something a man would do...
