About Me

I am a Librarian-in-training, working my way through graduate school for my MLIS. I do like my job for the most part, but hope to be doing less storytimes and more Librarian stuff in the near future. I do still like kids, and am considering being either a middle school librarian or a public librarian.

Random Facts about me:
1. I'm allergic to seafood, though I really really like salmon especially.
2. I have to love something before I buy it.
3. Pet Peeve: People who don't use their mf'ing turn signals.
4. I'm more logical than people think I am.

My Interests

libraries, reading, writing, cats, kittens, dancing, singing, theatre, movies, music, live music, animals of all kinds, the sims 2, kingdom hearts, tomb raider, learning new things, travel, advocacy for children, nostalgia, 80s music, trivia, costumes, holidays, sleeping, open-mindedness...
