Tell me! You're nerds, right? And you have stuff?

[thebitterguy]

I'm gonna start with a generalization that we, as geeks, will accumulate stuff. Our hobbies tend to be based around things, whether books of some kinds (periodical graphic novels and collections and rpg books and paperback novels and old pulp magazines)

I'm also going to state that we tend to let them out to like-minded folk. Can I borrow your copy of X? is a common question.

So, I have questions.

And I would like to just state right now, if I've fucked conjugating the word "to lend/loan/let" repeatedly, I am sorry.

I call my collection the North Coast Lending Library, my stuff is in and out so often. I keep extra copies of a handful of books, movies, and DVD box sets just for that purpose, so I can pimp my favorite media. (An flist friend even made me an icon in honor of my efforts.) I've never had anything fail to come back, though some have been on walkabout for extended periods of time. Occasionally people will just buy me replacements because they've had the old ones for so long. Which, hey, cool. Everybody wins.
