It seems that it is once again time for a periodic reminder of what behavior is acceptable where. Congratulations, everyone: it has been eight (8) months since my last post on this topic. A new record! However, let us not rest on our laurels, as I have recently borne witness to some of the most horrifying behavior yet.

Acceptable Library Behavior:
› Reading
› Quiet contemplation
› Listening to music
    › This insistence on Philip Glass over, say, Chopin continues to grate, but that is a topic for another time.
› Studying without narrating your thoughts aloud

Unacceptable Library Behavior:
› Eating fragrant foods
› Making out like a pair of schoolchildren
› Loudly humming to the aforementioned classical music, and in the wrong key
› Clipping your toenails ‼️

You may be asking yourselves: "Niko, surely no one is clipping their toenails in the library. Why even add that?" I regret to inform you that I saw it with my own eyes (I will not name names), and that it is the worst thing I have personally witnessed since Shaq's album release party in 1993. (Did you know Shaq released an album? Now you do.)

It is a small ship. Let us try to be kind to one another! And, if at all possible, spare each other such unpleasant sights.

He's not one for PDA. I'm a reliable source.

[adrii]

Are you?

[jaxsons]

I feel like you're confused about who I'm talking about?

[adrii]

Touché. I misread. Carry on.

[jaxsons]

I'd also like to be clear I haven't been making out with Niko in the library. In case there was room for doubt or something.

[adrii]

Easy enough to believe, so no doubts here.

[jaxsons]

You're right, I don't go to the library.

[adrii]

You'll learn to read one day. I believe in you.

[jaxsons]

There's hope for me yet.

[adrii]

Have to give you something to reach for.

[jaxsons]

Like something over your head when you can't reach?

[oneirophrenic]

Now, now. There is no need to be jealous.

Noldana.

[adrii]

Who says I'm jealous?

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Aren't you?

Noldana.

[adrii]

Not in the slightest.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

You are a terrible liar.

Noldana.

[adrii]

You want me to be jealous.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Now, why would I want a thing like that?

Noldana.

[adrii]

Because you're obsessed with me.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

How do you manage to fit through the doorways with that massive ego of yours?

Noldana.

[adrii]

The same way you do, Niko.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Next to you, I am the very picture of humility.

[murphyy]

then maybe you shouldn't be making announcements 'bout what he likes?

[oneirophrenic]

I believe he's talking about Jacobsen.

[murphyy]

didn't realize.
