I'm the oldest...and I've just moved home, I'm transferring to my 3rd university. This will be my 5th year, but I'm working full time as well as going to school full time. Luckily my school is a few blocks away from my job.

Tell me about it...it's ridiculous in the suburbs...$1500 a month for a shitty one bedroom, which is why I'm still living at home.

Yeah, I refer to it as the University of Idiotic Crap...while I was there I referred to it somewhat similarly to how your sister does, but I like my new acronym better. :-)

wow... Movis--->Books--->Universities...
I had to read Anima Farm in 7th grade. I mosty read it. skipping over many parts because it was easier. It was a good book (from what I read). Right now I'm reading Notes From Underground (Dostoyevsky), The Underdogs (Mariona Azuala (something like that)) (those two for school), and some other books. My favourite author is Robert Aspirin.

hmm... I think I have a book by him *Goes and checks* Couldn't find anything. perhaps i was thinking of Arthur C. Clarke i blame my dad for making me like Sci-Fi. he has almost every single Sci-Fi book by Isaac Asimov. I havent read anything by Asimov, but I have some other Sci-Fi books.

(Asimov is truly fantastic. He started with "I Robot" and the "Foundation Trilogy" and brought both story lines together over a course of 40+? years and how many books. He's definately a "must read")

I haven't read anything by neither Asimoc nor Dick...they don't really look like authors I would enjoy. I stick with a lot of political works as well as anything by Anne Rice. I've read her entire Vampire Chronicles, as well as the Chronicles of Mayfair and the Sleeping Beauty Series (as A.N. Rocquelaure). I'm currenly looking to find some of her work as Ann Rampling to add to my collection.
