Why must you suck amazon.com?

Damn you Amazon.

Where am I going to buy my shiny cheap books without ever leaving my room? Because I seriously will stop buying from you unless you reverse this. D:

And I had plans for my birthday monies you bastards. D:

And here's a Googlebomb.

Also, Amazon, I'm still waiting for your damn third party sellers to ship my books. I know, I know, you aren't responsible for that, but I'm starting to get really cranky about that. It's been over a week since I ordered them and if they're not here by the 27th like you said they will be, I will seriously be bitching you and the third party seller out.

A Question

  • Mar. 9th, 2009 at 4:17 PM
Stock - Books
Okay, if any of you have read the Dresden Files books, well, is it okay to read them out of order or should one ideally read them in order? I ask this because I kinda accidentally bought the eighth book instead of the first book.

You're packing your bag for that other desert island—the one with no electricity—what 5 books do you take with you?

- The Complete Sherlock Holmes (I've been meaning to read the book for some time now and it's really damn thick)
- The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales (I love to read stories from this out loud to myself)
- Crime and Punishment (perhaps this would be the kick in the pants for me to finally defeat this book)
- One of my Lovecraft books (not sure which one exactly)
- My book of Edgar Allan Poe stories and poems

Yeah, I went for the thick books and all of them have short stories except for one.

You're packing your bag for that magical desert island that happens to have electricity, a TV, and a DVD player—what five DVDs do you take with you?

Hm, right now my choices would be:

- Stardust (because it is a pretty movie and it makes me cry and stuff and I haven't watched it a thousand times yet)
- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (because of the reasons above - it moves me dammit)
- Prince Caspian (I do not yet own this DVD, but plan on buying it on Friday because I need it for the same reasons I have the first movie)
- Ghostbusters (because I need something that doesn't make me cry and instead makes me laugh)
- Shoujo Kakumei Utena Movie (because I keep meaning to re-watch it, but I can't work and watch subtitles at the same time)

The only reason I wouldn't bring my Indiana Jones DVDs with me? I've watched them so much as of late that I've burned out on them. :( So I'm giving them a break.

What's the story behind your username?

Birgit Riddle is basically the name I go by on the internet. I prefer my birth name to Birgit, but it's a good sounding screen name.

As for why I chose it, well, I used to be sorta involved in the Harry Potter fandom and yes, I was a fan of the character Tom Riddle. So that's obviously where the last name of my screen name came from.

The first part of my screen name comes from my high school German one class. Most of you that have taken a language probably remember that in language classes in high school, you often got to choose a name in that language. Mine was Birgit. I pronounce it as I learned it in German class and people seem to have a hard time remembering how to spell it.

However, I won't change it because it just feels right and it's a lot better than the name I used before, which was Japanese, showing my anime fangirl side. Not that being an anime fangirl is bad, it's just...Yumeko was a name I just could not identify with anymore as I really don't see myself as the kind of girl to 'wear' that name.
