My cat seems to think that if he heeps licking my elbows it will make me get up and feed him.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

OMG I don't want to work today. Even though I'm planning on leaving at 3 to drive to Chicago.

Kate, I don't think I got to congratulate you on the library school thing, so, hey, Go You!
This is a pretty constant theme in my life of late--what should I be doing, how can I best use my skills and talents to make a positive difference? I hope I'm on the right path.
I keep asking myself that, too, more often that not. And I'm still looking for right path. So it's really strange that you say this about me. Teachers, however, do have the possibility to make a huge positive difference - and it's such a hard work (one of my roommates teaches Junior High).
shrift, in case I don't get to post with you until you leave, I hope you have a great trip.

Thanks! I know I will. I have a trunk full of booze and nosh, and I'm going to hang out with Dana and Consuela and Vonnie and Katie M and Micole and a bunch of other awesome people.
Now I just have to get there.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
That sound really cool, Nilly. I'm glad you had such a positive experience with National Service!
Then again, you were adventurous enough to go all the way to Egypt for a job, so I guess you're not easily intimidated. I hope things will continue to work out for you!
You know, I don't think it really took much courage. In fact, I think it's a lot easier to up sticks and go to a job in another country than it would have been to move to another city in the UK where I didn't know anyone, and start over. Am secretly chicken.
Kate, I think Library school sounds brilliant.

Timelies! I wish it was Friday. I would really like to take tomorrow off. And I already have Monday off!

I've been asking myself this, too. Or, rather, I feel like -- I don't literally believe that there are pearly gates and Saint Peter and we have to defend the choices we made in our lives at the end, but I would like to live so as to have a good answer just in case it does happen. Does that make any sense?
I always start wanting to make Big Life Changes right around my birthday, so I may get over this if I just waith three weeks.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Kate, I don't think I got to congratulate you on the library school thing, so, hey, Go You!
Yay, thanks! I'm super excited. I don't know if I've talked about this much here, but I'm especially interested in the chance to do some international work. The dean of my school has been in Iraq all summer helping librarians there to preserve and archive their materials (...what's left of them), and there's a fellowship position at the school that is pretty closely aligned with that kind of work, so I've set my sights on that.
Kate, I think Library school sounds brilliant.
It really was kind of a no-brainer once I gave it some serious thought. And actually, the school I'm going to allows you to get a school librarianship certificate along with your MLS, so I'm definitely going to take advantage of that, because school librarians are totally kickass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Timelies!
Gronk. Caffeine is being administrated as we speak.
The bus I was riding was attacked by a crazy person. He was yelling and waving his arms about as he stepped into the street in front of the moving bus. The bus driver pulled to the left to go around him but he moved out to stay in front of the bus, blocking its way and forcing the driver to stop. He then walked up to the windshield and yelled and pointed at the driver angrily. Then he walked around to the side of the bus so the bus driver drove away. As the bus drove by he hit the side of the bus with his fist a few times.
Wanker. I wonder if the fact that he's hanging out near a high school will get him in trouble....
