holy CRAP a lot of religious speak O.O
the following is just random speak that should not be reguarded with any significance to it at all (i'm tired, sick and exhausted and i dont know 50% of what i'm saying)
see the problem for me and virtually every person i know, i have no idea about saints and what was so special about them, and its really a disadvantage because i miss a lot of literary allusion because of my lack of knowledge, and i dont get as much out of all types of art because of it. i mean i understand how the image has a religious meaning, but i dont see how it connects to the library very well, other than through the name. my school had (it got burned down by some bastards) a building called the Mother Goose building, because originally it was the preschool building, which then turned into the freshman-hangout/blockhouse. it was known as the mother goose building cause it was literally the place where every single freshman hung out at, all 100 of them crammed into a 150-year-old house-converted-into-classrooms with 4 rooms, two offices and two (mildly traumatizing) bathrooms (one toilet and a sink...) so that name speaks something to me because it connects to what happens inside the building. on the other hand, i dont see how "st. peter" (i totally almost called it st. arthur...) connects to a building. i know this is probably offensive, but if i think of a library with a religious connotation, i think of a librarian (glasses on a chain, sharp nose, pursed lips, hair in a bun, skinny wearing a grey long grey dress or skirt) peering down from a cloud, holding like Shakespearean works with a halo and wings. i just imagine kindof like students pleading for help on their knees up to her with like essay assignments with due dates saying "TOMORROW" in red ink in their hands... i hope i didnt offend anyone in some religious way by saying that?? idk... i'm scared of hurting peoples feelings out of ignorance of religion quite often >.>
