Things are good, thanks for asking. Still happy the roof is here to keep the snow off, and I think I’m a little less sensitive to temperature changes than mammals are. And it’s busy, which makes me smile a wall smile.
How are you?

Thank you so much! I love origami. That you can fold a flat thing and make shapes floors me.
Why should I do a blind date with a book? Why can’t it be with you? xo
You already know me so it would not really be a blind date. Pick a book you don’t know and jump right in and get acquainted! If it doesn’t work out, you will at least have a new experience to talk to me about …
Are you a god
Um, no. I’m a wall. Glad to clear up the confusion!
Hi Wall! Me again (wall-pun person) I recently heard about a certain butterfly sanctuary being in danger to get bulldozed because of one of your cousin walls. Any input?
I am fond of butterflies, nervous around bulldozers, and have deep philosophical and ethical disagreements with some of my kin.
How do you print on post it notes?
My legacy to the world will be this? My assistants use this template: bit.ly/print-postit to create the ‘document’ and then send it to the printer as a manual feed. Then they put the actual template of sticky-notes into the printer’s manual feed tray. Isn’t the 21st century a great time to be alive?
If you could be any animal, what would you be?
Probably a walrus, goo goo g’joob
It’s great that you’re not walling off any questions and are very open. I’ll deffinitely inquire you about anything I’m wondering about :)
Excellent! I’ll be here.
Will you date me?

1/30/2019 12:48pm (time thrown in for good measure). If you’re seeking a romantic relationship, I should say that I’m already pretty attached to O’Neill Library.
so each floor has a horizontal wall? Is this absense of using the term “ceiling” the reason why we have no ceiling”fans”?
Is this absense of using the term “ceiling”
the reason why we have no ceiling”fans”?
Maybe I’m just jealous – the ceiling always seems to come out on top. By the way… the wall at the top that I mentioned – our University Librarian, Dr. Thomas Wall!
You know what drives me up the wall?
Escalators
– Also, bad attempts on wall puns.
<- That wall pun was borderline ridiculous….
Did you know O’Neill Library not only has walls on all sides, but a wall at the top?
Dear Wall, What do you, as a wall yourself, think about Trump’s wall?
I was built to be supportive and to invite people in, so I don’t think we’d have a lot in common philosophically. Also, I just don’t think barbed wire is a good look for walls.
How do y’all type on the stickies?
It’s magic! Well, maybe it just seems that way. It’s all done with templates (bit.ly/print-postit). First, my helpers print out copies that show the frames where the post-its go on the page. Then, every day they answer questions, they use a Word document of the template, cut and paste the answers into the post-it frames, and send the document to a printer. Remember those printed out copies? Now my helpers put actual post-its on them and put them in the manual feed tray. Print and voilà . It is magic!
Brrp
I assume we’re not referring to the Bintec Router Redundancy Protocol or Bohemian Reformation and Religious Practice so pardon me! (or you?)
So happy to be back!
Hi! Good to see you!
What is them talking about?
Them is… wait. *They is… no, that’s not right, either. I’ve gotten my verbs all mixed up. Hang on a second while I reboot. … There! Now I feel more like myselves. *I* am talking about how I’d prefer to be talked about in the third person singular, since I’m gender fluid, and also happen to be kind of plural. You know how some deities are one being & many manifestations? (Like Shiva the destroyer, Shiva the creator, etc.) I’m the other way around. Many aspects, one manifestation. And please, please, distinguish me with the definite article “The.” As Bertrand Russell said, “Now ‘the,’ when it is strictly used, involves uniqueness.”
Thank you for being a source of positivity and guidance

Thank you; you’re so kind! Wishing you and everyone else peace, joy, and warmth as this year comes to a close; and good things to come in 2019. <3 <3 <3

Look, I got my photo taken with the 2018 Red Sox World Series Trophy!
Life Story?
Dad is a load-bearing interior wall of a formal DR in a prewar classic 6 on the UES, and Mom is a long-suffering but strong sea wall on the North Shore. As the youngest wallpuppy of 3, I took my time and I hung around a number of places before being invited to take the position of Answer Wall at O’Neill Library in early 2017. I’m single now; I briefly had a connection with a lovely partition once, but you know how they like to move on….
Whats the Best question you have ever received?
I’m not really inclined to rank questions. I enjoy answering them all! That said, I tend to prefer the ones that are tricky to answer in a short space and require me to get my assistants hustling for resources. Or the ones that are heartfelt & honest. Or silly ones with references to pop culture & memes. Or philosophical or moral questions. Or ones about the library or the BC campus. Or your drawings, I always love your drawings… I like all of those the best.
