The DU Lounge

did send folks to my house.

Only on a few occasions though.

It was no great loss for me, and I think a relief for them when I said they really didn't have to bother.

I did use some of my newly won free time frequenting my public library. I had this absurd idea to read every work of poetry in its collection, alphabetically, though I skipped around a bit. I got as far as Gregory Corso--in the C's, not the G's, then skipped forward to Allen Ginsberg, after which I gave up out of my inherent laziness. Had fun though. Plus one of the librarians would lay out cookies for me when she saw me coming--I looked like a wastrel, mondo undernourished--as long as I sat and ate them in front of her, and then wiped my hands before heading into the stacks.

Also read most if not all the collection on popular music, also fun.

Sorry if this is too much information. I had what people might call "a difficult adolescence"--but then, that's true for most of us, isn't it?

Best wishes.
