Sister just wandered into my room - as she is wont to do - looked around at my stuff, then asked if she could have my Harry Potter and the Blood Prince when I was finished with it. I hesitated - she has a tendency to make my nice, well-kept things less nice and well-kept - but said yes. Puzzled, I asked if she had read any of the others. She replied that she didn't want to read it, but it was a first edition and would be worth a lot of money one day.

I quickly took back my offer.

Cheek of some people...

Hurray, I start volunteer work at the museum on Wednesday! It is not paid, but it is interesting, omg! The manager gave me a tour. I had no idea it was so big. There is a reference room, and a glass collection which apparently sets of Geiger counters because they use uranium to colour the glass. The manager kept trying to put me off, I think, because he couldn't believe I would actually be interested in everything - I was definitely the youngest and prettiest! there - but I just kept being all 'old photographs, omg!', 'maritime research, omg!', 'boxes, omg!'. It is very good. I am looking forward to it. And because it is volunteerish I have no deadline and can spend all my time looking at the things, and can go in whatever time I want! I am quite pleased. I would like money. But I am pleased :)

I bought The Fabulous Girls Guide to Decorum at a charity shop, for £2. Not because I am fabulous. Or want to be decorous. But it would be nice to be able to know how, if I need to. Mostly I am thinking it will be research for books, featuring girl detectives who can't really just get bored and leave parties and such when there are mysteries afoot, omg!

And in other news, I watched four episodes of Angel. I am so tired nowadays mostly I think I will die. Anyway.Thoughts )
