Hopping Mad

OK people; it's time for preachy librarian to come out. Young adult novelist Maureen Johnson's book The Bermudez Triangle has been banned from a high school library in Oklahoma. The thing is, there's nothing inappropriate for high school students in this book and the members of the committee who banned it didn't even read the book before passing judgment. Read about it at Maureen Johnson's blog. Also check out young adult author John Green's blog. Be irate, write angry letters to the school, do something. I hate book banning.
Today I realized that aside from my actual job, I could easily spend 8 hours a day reading about book and library news online. Why can't that be my job?

I'm Baaack!


Tuesday, July 12, 2005

Timothy is gone for the week and I'm stuck in Clarion.  I miss him already so I guess it's good that we're getting married.  I start falling apart when he's not here.  Since he's been gone I've managed to 1) get a kidney infection, 2) lock myself out of the apartment (more on that later), and 3) fall in a hole.

The apartment thing turned into something of an adventure.  I ended up climbing out of my neighbor's window onto the roof of the building next door and then climbing in my window.  Unfortunately, the window was pretty far above the roof and I had to throw myself in.  I'm really bruised.  Today someone asked me if I got hit by a car.

The falling in a hole thing isn't very interesting.  They're doing construction outside of the bookstore and I wasn't watching where I was walking.  The hole was only about a foot deep, so I didn't get hurt and thankfully, nobody was there to witness it.

My new classes started yesterday.  I have storytelling this semester.  I really wish I were good at it, but it's so out of my comfort zone.  When we practice in class, I turn bright red and sweat.  An audience of children in a public library would eat me alive.  We talked about a fairly new programming trend in public libraries in class today.  Librarians bring well-trained dogs to the library and each kid pairs up with a dog and reads to it.  I'm not sure how educational that is, but I'm intrigued. 

My parents are coming to Clarion on Thursday night to take me home to Williamsport until Timothy gets there on Saturday.  Apparently, I can't be left alone for more than a few days, which is fine with me because I'm really lonely.

I've discovered something important.  Timothy makes me fat.  He's been gone 5 days and I've lost 4.5 pounds.

Ha...Timothy thought that I wasn't going to post ever again, but I am.  So give me eProps.  I have now applied for 12 jobs and gotten 2 rejections.  Timothy still has not found a job and our funds are rapidly disappearing.  Summer classes are boring and expensive.  I actually payed more than $1000 for a class that met 4 Saturdays.  Instead of learning anything, we made crafts, which was fun, but now I have a collection of bookmarks that should be worth $1000, but probably isn't. 

In happier news, I'm getting married in 99 days.  We ordered our wedding rings last weekend. 

On Tuesday night, while walking home from class, I tried to pet a skunk.  I thought it was a cat.  Timothy thinks I need to wear my glasses more often.  Thankfully, the skunk did not spray me - we both ran away in opposite directions.

My sister is about a month away from her due date.  Her belly button has now turned into an outie.  Which makes me wonder - Is there a specific moment in which that happens or is it a very gradual thing?  I like to think it happens all at once and makes a little popping sound. 

I suppose that's all for now, but I have to post at least 4 more times so that picture of a stupid sword thingy will go away (Timothy posted that).

Halberd


You preferred a weapon with 34% power over speed and 34% range over melee.
You use a Halberd.

Possibly the most versatile polearm ever made, the Halberd is an elegant mix of spear and staff, remaining relatively light while having an effective cutting edge and stabbing point. Your enemies will never get near you; your personal space will be as unreachable as a faraway land.




My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 26% on power
You scored higher than 44% on range
