the librarian

So, I promised my best friend that if I actually tried the blog thing, I’d name the first one after her: Trash Biscuits.  Don’t ask, but from here out, the BFF will be known as Trash Biscuits.  On a side note, here’s a little about Trash Biscuits.  She’s an emergency management planner in St. Louis and she likes wrestling with her pitbulls and drinking whiskey.

I’ll take this opportunity to tell you a little about me and why I’m blogging here.  I’m a perpetual student, currently in grad school after 7 years as an undergrad finishing a BA and a BS.  I went the path of most English students, pumping out maudlin poetry for the school literary journal until graduation, never to write again.  I’m currently swealtering in the desert, working in a large branch of an urban library system, which puts me in contact with assorted crazies (both staff and patrons).  In about a week I’m moving to a hundred year old farmhouse in the middle of Nowhere, NC, where I hope to pick up my writing again and plant root vegetables.  I also plan to read.  A lot.  I’m crafty, I like glitter and fingerpaints and staple-gunning things.  I know old school skills like sewing by hand and I like to cook and paint and make artsy stuff.  I currently own 4 bottles of Modge-Podge and enough hemp and beads to keep every hippie in town in ankle bracelets for all time.

So, this blog will be from the point of view of an unemployed, highly educated, super crafty, sometimes motivated, occasionally drunk librarian.  There will be talk of media (mostly books and magazines but sometimes other stuff), crazy library shananagans (we’re not as boring as you think, ok…some of us are) and other random stuff, like Trash Biscuits’ upcoming redneck wedding and my husband’s (we’ll call him the Wizard) crazy adventures.  So yeah, that’s about it.  Read on, if you’d like.
