Try short black stocky dude. I was pretty pleasant and approachable. People tended to ask me where books were quite often and I'm soft spoken so they wouldn't expect me to unless my wrath when I did.

I'm glad one of the libraries here has "cones of silence" - they are round, plexiglass cubicles with a door that are completely soundproofed. And the glass distorts any images you'll see on the screen or whatever, so there's an element of privacy.

So they basically advocate watching porn in public then with those cubicles?

Her being a female and a killer doesn't mean she's bitchy, it just means she's a killer.
