minniemaxFirstly, If you didn't see it yet, go and watch the missing scenes of Dean in Hell.
Go, you won't regret it!!!
Secondly, the book I ordered last week is here and I'm already totally in love:
"Dewey, The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World"
Not only is the topic of this book of high interest for me (why, how did you guess?), but it's also wonderfully written (at least for me - I can't be made accountable if you not like it, I liked "Angels and Demons"...)
Anyway, I found the perfect description of our fandom:
" Then there were the complainers. I was a little disappointed, I must admit, but not surprised. There is nothing on God's green earth that someone won't complain about, including both God and green earth.
One woman took particular offense. Her letter, sent to me and every member of the city council, was pure fire and brimstone, full of images of children keeling over from sudden asthma attacks and pregnant mothers spontaneously miscarrying when exposed to kitty litter. According to the letter, I was a murderous madwoman who was not only threatening the health of every innocent child in town born or unborn, but also destroying the social fabric of the community. An animal! In a library! If we let that stand, what was to stop people from walking a cow down Grand Avenue? In fact, she threatened to show up in the library one morning very soon with her cow in tow. Fortunately nobody took her seriously. I have no doubt she spoke for others in the community, in her overblown way, but general anger wasn't my concern. None of those people, as far as I could tell, ever visited the library."
*iz still recovering from laughing her a** off*
ETA:What the hell are the annoying Snap shots doing in my LJ again? I thought I got rid of them a long time ago. Anyone remembers how to kill them? Killed!
Go, you won't regret it!!!

LOL
Cats rule.
