I think I just had a little accident in my pants.
I love just about anything (obvious exceptions withstanding, of course) when it adheres to one of these two characteristics:
1) When they are neatly aligned
2) When there are lots of them
What could be more special than spending all day in the above environment. I’m telling you, if books all came in the same size, I’d be a librarian.

Just in case you thought my life was plodding along a little too nicely at the moment with my computer still out of action and uni absorbing my life, in the last 24 hours I have contracted a cold again. It started with the searing throat, and now that has been joined by the sweat-shop level of snot production.
Fantastic!
James says: It sounds like it’s everywhere. Aside from myself, two other work colleagues have come down with it. We’ve all lost our voices! For the first time in my life, I cannot speak!
Yes, I have a friend who got a pretty bad dose of this new fluey thing going arund two weeks ago and she is still getting over it. A very nasty sounding one.
Oh you poor wee bairn!
I feel your pain. I’m only just getting over the bird flu myself.
Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Please let it be so.
I was doing some serious research (reading the Neighbours page on Wikipedia), and saw that a new character coming up is named “Pepper Steiger”. Quite apart from sounding like something you’d pay an awful lot for, never use, but be sure to wave it around in front of guests at a dinner party, she shares a surname with everyone’s favourite finger toting police officer.
Could Pepper, or “Pepsi” as I have already decided I will call her, be a crazed-lunatic wife who steals people’s babies and burns down an old farm shed ala Blue Heelers? More likely, Pepper is going to be a new kid on the block, struggling to fit in to school, who must undergo a series of taunts and bully sessions about her father being a policeman (and a deluded one at that). Alternatively, she might be the pet dog of a lonely, Susan-hunting (who wouldn’t?) Constable Steiger, and Neighbours is finally taking the small step into post-modern expression that I’ve always wanted it to take.
Neighbours, I’m watching you, don’t go stealing my ideas (or at least pay me). And isn’t it about time Karl and Susan broke up again?
You have mental problems Ty. Plain and simple. :)
How would you feel about actually having to catalogue them all and put them neatly away to start with? Shuddering at that thought myself.
It wasn’t until this precise moment that I realised just how alike you and I are.
The librarian comment applies strongly to me. I hate variance in book sizes. VHS tapes were bad too; damned variable size. DVDs have the problem of box-sets, which belong together but don’t fit in racks…
CDs are just… ooh :). It’s like iTunes but… for real. Ooh yes.
Zoe: There is so much beauty in a straight line, Zoe!
Kevin: I would *LOVE* it.
Kit: Other people don’t understand this compulsion for alignment! I’ve got a question for you re: DVD box sets. Do you stick the open end of the cardboard cover on the outside, so you get the same width cases (but with the intrusion of a cardboard liner on all sides), or do you embrace the diversity and let the flat cardboard shell face out? I’m trying both, and I’m really not sure.
I tend to prefer the flat cardboard facing out, because otherwise I have to order the DVDs in the box set such that they are in the right order when laying horizontally (as is my DVD rack) and not in order when they’re standing vertically. To remove that level of confusion, I just leave them ordered correctly inside the box and just rotate the box on the shelves.
But it is annoying. Very annoying. Admittedly most of my box sets (Blackadder and Black Books, for instance) tend to be of the fold-out form, and not the “DVD cases in a box” type, which makes deciding easier.
tyson please get some help.
Carla: Okay, so some people like helping others, some people like to amass obese collections of things. Whatever floats your boat.
