*Dewey-decimal-gasm*

[highlyeccentric]

I love the library.

I spent an hour moving books around to make more space. Ah, the joys.

Today, I told my Supervisor that I would gladly enslave myself to the Dewey Decimal System. He told me it was a new-fangled American innovation and I lacked imagination.

You and Jessica should get together and discuss this sickness of yours.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

why, does she like the Dewey Decimal System too?

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

She likes to alphabetically order her bookcase. Her brain is weakened by this and I predict she will eventually progress to end stage Dewey appreciation.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

Tell her she can join me in academentia...

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

Alphazheimer's?

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

Biblioporosis.

[daiskmeliadorn.livejournal.com]

wow, we should start a club!

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

with an alphabetised member list!

OH GOD STOP STOP STOP

God, Oh: Stop, Stop, Stop, University of Woolongong Press, 2007.

I am going to come round your place and arrange the I, H, A, T, E, Y, O, and U sections together in your bookcase. Then I am going to glue them down.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

This may force me to rearrange the alphabet, you know.

the possibilities for collective anally-retentive behaviour are endless!

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

Nooooo! the possibilities for collectively anal-retentive behaviour must be broken down on a decimal scale of 000.0-999.999

[daiskmeliadorn.livejournal.com]

oh, woah, yes. you're so right. forgive me dewey for i have sinned.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

The wonder of the DDS being that it is at once limitless and infintitely expandable... truly, a manifestation of deity.

[daiskmeliadorn.livejournal.com]

i think you should write a devotional book about that

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

and catalogue it in the 200s...

Although this can lead to insanity, especially in the 813 to 815 section in Fisher, with its incredibly long strings of numbers and letters and such.

Also it's helpful in keeping the idiots out, because they take one look at, for example, 306.76604574... and run screaming. (PS 306.7660 is in the LGBT section! :-))

[kayloulee.livejournal.com]

Yep, I'm a massive geek, but we knew this already.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

bet you we have very little in the 306.7660 in our otherwise comprehensive Women's collection...

[kayloulee.livejournal.com]

I'll take that bet! Conservative institution, yay. (or not ;-) )

can i just state my general hatred of the Mighty Boosh?

Re: THIS IS YOU

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

NO

Re: THIS IS YOU

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

YES.

It is the sort of thing my little brother watches.

Possibly an age group thing? Now that I think about it, you're about his age.

Re: THIS IS YOU

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

Enjoyment of totally inane comedy isn't restricted to those of us who weren't born till the 90s.

It has puppets!

Re: THIS IS YOU

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

So does Sesame Street. Your point?

Re: THIS IS YOU

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

... you don't like Sesame Street?

*wibble*

Re: THIS IS YOU

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

All teachin' little children to say 'zeee' instead of 'zed'... We Do Not Approve.

Re: THIS IS YOU

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

Psht! They'd pick it up somewhere. Plus Sesame Street ... has puppets.

Re: THIS IS YOU

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

blackbuttoneyes has medieval sock puppets (http://wilde.its.nyu.edu/mednar/file.php?id=74).

Re: THIS IS YOU

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

Oh my god.

*watches*

Re: THIS IS YOU

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

she also has cartoons and who knows what else. Do a performer search from the main site page for 'Jordan, Jenn'.

And she does video/ illustrated slideshows called Today in Medieval History (http://peromniasaecula.blogspot.com/search?q=Today+In+Medieval+History).

Gloat.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

excuse me while I giggle over the realisation that you can't be more than eighteen months older than my little brother.

*giggle*

Re: Gloat.

[areyoustrange.livejournal.com]

Yes, I Am Very Ickle.

I spent part of this year as a seventeen year old. That seems to get most people. That, or having started school in 1995.

Re: Gloat.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

awwww, weally? Was you a Baby Fresh?

*sniggers* I still find it immensely novel when I come across people demonstrably Ickler than me.
I can out-precocious you, though. I didn't turn eighteen until November at the end of first year ;)

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. Give me Library of Congress categorization any day.

[daiskmeliadorn.livejournal.com]
