"Ok, sure. We've all got our little preconceived notions about what librarians are and what they do. Many people think of them as diminutive civil servants, scuttling about "Sssh-ing" people and stamping things. Well, think again buster.

Librarians have degrees. They go to graduate school for Information Science and become masters of data systems and human/computer interaction. Librarians can catalog anything from an onion to a dog's ear. They could catalog you. Librarians wield unfathomable power. With a flip of the wrist they can hide your dissertation behind piles of old Field and Stream magazines. They can find data for your term paper that you never knew existed. They may even point you toward new and appropriate subject headings.

People become librarians because they know too much. Their knowledge extends beyond mere categories. They cannot be confined to disciplines. Librarians are all-knowing and all-seeing. They bring order to chaos. They bring wisdom and culture to the masses. They preserve every aspect of human knowledge. Librarians rule. And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says otherwise.

Disney pictures!

I noticed a couple of mistakes, like one sideways picture and a couple that don't show up when you click them, but for the most part, they're there, and bugs will be fixed by tonight.

I have more on a roll of actual film which I am excited to use up and get developed!

i am back!

it was really great, really exhausting, really nice and warm :)

and i will talk about it more later, and i will post pictures tonight, but right now it is class time again!

see you all wednesday :)

ally, i'm your sekrit admirer

getting-ready-to-leave playlist:

paul oakenfold and crazy town - starry eyed surprise
ghetto boys - damn it feels good to be a gangsta
marvin gaye - let's get it on
santana and dido - feels like fire
santana and chad kroeger - why don't you and i
macy gray - sexual revolution
justin timberlake - like i love you
outkast - the whole world
jurassic 5 - what's golden
craig david - what's your flavor
and for the surreal 80's-ness of it: eric carmen - make me lose control ;)

it's a party in da hizouse, y'all. ;)

since the moment i spotted you
it's like walkin' round with little wings on my shoes
my stomach's filled with the butterflies
ooh and it's all right
bouncing round from cloud to cloud
got the feeling that i'm never gonna come down
if i said i didn't like it then you know i lied
santana with chad kroeger, "why don't you and i"

it's a really yummy song. :)

completely overwhelmed by school and getting ready go to florida
a couple of small nervous breakdowns have been had

maybe preparing for this vacation is so stressful so i'll REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT! :)

find your inner PIE @ stvlive.com

list for today:

finish research paper
do speakeasy paper
start 20-page speech paper
play with petrie
sort clothes to bring after ryan washes them
print and hand in COM306 stuff
take temperature for study
make sure the camera's memory is clear (so i can take florida pictures for you all :))
remind ryan to email kelly
call All That Matters to make an appointment
take some deep breaths ;)

leaving for florida in two days and my head is exploding! eek!

Trust me on this one, it's funny :)

sex tips from donald rumsfield

tomorrow we're having ryan's pretend birthday, because his birthday happens while we are in florida and we want to have our own celebration here (complete with lemon poppyseed cupcakes, movies, and chinese food :))

it rained all day here, but i did a shortened version of aerobics in my kitchen instead of walking to the gym. it was fun, i made a list of dancey songs and i jumped around the apartment. :)

t.a.t.u - not gonna get us

i have been addicted to this song lately. it is best played loud. :)

had my first acupuncture session today
it was pouring rain all day but i've been floating
it was really really nice.
and already, my shoulder is still stiff but it hurts so much less, and i feel calmer, not so toxic (the stress was poisoning me, but i felt it go away)
i still have little orangey spots in a couple places from the incensey stuff (i forgot the name of the herb) and it makes me smile. :)

i hate tuesdays.

can we skip them for the rest of the semester, please?

i'm not crazy
i'm just a little unwell
i know right now you can't tell
but stay a while and baby,
then you'll see
a different side of me

i like matchbox 20. i just like the way this song sounds, even though it's kind of a little bit sad.

this page is really cool. it's nude portraits of women from age 0 to 100 (almost, the photographer hasn't quite gotten there yet) of all different types and it's kind of amazing. because it's something you might not see otherwise, and i think it's important to see it.

From if-mud :)

Ryan says, "My parrot just sneezed rather wetly on my neck."
BrenBarn says, "eeew!"
ghira says, "bleah"
Ryan says, "Bird snot."
Ryan says, "The things they don't tell you when you sign up for pirate lessons."
Matthew says, "I didn't know parrots could sneeze."
Ryan says, "He enjoys rubbing his face in my hair, but it apparently tickles his nose and makes him sneeze."
BrenBarn says, "you thought it was just going to be an easy life of arring and cutlass-brandishing, but they didn't tell you about the parrot sneezes"

i had a dream last night about stealing a hot fudge sundae. well, i wasn't stealing it, it was mine...but i was sneaking it with me on my trip to florida in various cool whip containers. i took the whipped cream off with my hands and put it in one container, and i scratched the 'm's of the m&ms so no one would know what they were :) and brought them too.

i was also bringing a black pair of underwear with oranges on them, and some body oil - i wanted orange, but i could only bring the yellow kind.

i've also dreamed of strawberry waffles/pancakes three nights in a row. in each dream, my dad was supposed to make them for me, but he never did. so we woke up this morning and i told ryan, and we went to pato's for strawberry french toast (close enough :)).

I’m the how to swing.
I’m the twist and shout.
When you gotta sing,
When you gotta let it out.
You call me and I come a-runnin’
I turn the music on, I bring the fun in
Now we’re partyin’, that’s what it’s all about
’Cause I know what you feel, girl
I know just what you feel, girl

this is 'sweet's song'. it is very cool, and i want more music like it...ryan tried to describe it and could only come up with one name for it:

evil jazz. ;)

You are "These Apples"!! Matter of fact,
you're delicious! Try to avoid shaving silly
mis-spelled names into your head. Still,
you're endearingly romantic.

Spike


Which Buffy Guy Will You Marry?
brought to you by Quizilla

Yes, I did fix this quiz. My original result was Giles, which is probably more like it if it were seriously a guy I was going to marry. But I'm not interested in marrying Spike. ;)

I wish this image wasn't so huge, though.

last night i got Major Term Paper Number One finished. It gave me a headache and a lot of trouble, but I beat it into submission. That's one down, several more to go. :-/
