I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a rock n' roll librarian. I love telling dumb jokes to live audiences. I collect shoes, splinters, journals, white button-up blouses, cute stuff, public library cards, books and music. I like the basics: the ocean, PB&J, fresh-sqeezed orange juice, French fries, classic yogurt flavored gelato. I often marvel at the advances in instant food technology. When in NYC, I support subway musicians.

My Interests

Music, libraries, lyrics, vegetarian food, blogging, Mary Jane shoes, blogging about MJ shoes, children's books, odd birds, traveling, Polaroids, toy instruments, old stuff, reading maps, oceanography, marine biology, the card catalog, karaoke, old time radio programs.
