How many is enough to colonize the galaxy? (*hugs Tesh*)

Oof, hope you feel better soon! This thread has reminded me of a what are the odds story from seventh grade. The year I was in sixth grade, we were in an old middle school while the new middle school was being built. It was maybe a half hour drive away as opposed to ten minutes’ walk. I was walking between periods in the halls heading to math class. My backpack at that time was absolutely crap, it had this giant gash through the top just above the zipper, which had torn so much over time that I usually used it to take things in and out rather than bothering with the zipper. I get to math class, sit down, get settled, go to take out my book because I’m notorious for reading in class, and - my book’s not there. I quickly realize that it must have been stolen from my bag out of the massive rip. It was a public library book, so we pay the fine, I feel bad, then find the book elsewhere and pick up where I left off. One year later, it’s seventh grade and our first year in the brand-new school building. (I have a new backpack.) We’re having a book drive, and I peruse the books when I can out of curiosity. In science class, I spot a suspiciously familiar copy of The People of Sparks (great series btw, the first one’s The City of Ember and I’d highly recommend it). It’s definitely secondhand from a library; plastic cover, genre stickers, all that. Same flap of plastic torn off the back as the one I lost a year ago, huh...and this scrap of butterfly craft paper is an oddly familiar bookmark...hang on... It’s the very same book. One year and a new school several miles away later, it made its way mysteriously into the book drive, and as far as I remember the thief never even moved the bookmark. The science teacher was nice enough to let me take it back, and since we’d paid the library for it, I just kept it. I still have it.

You should all read Noteworthy, it’s a fantastic singing book and also just a fantastic book. What if it’s been so long that I don’t remember what part I sing?

It was spiked with cranberry juice. -
...it’s hard to explain, but it’s formatted like a collection of files and papers and stuff, and it’s just really good storytelling. Very sci-fi, great characters, and it jokingly censors all the cursing

“I’m gonna be a human berserker who’s super religious and an enormous romantic, purely because it sounds funny,” Ene said excitedly, making a mental note to hunt down a printer somewhere in this building.
