Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    April 22, 2004

    I started my new job as Science Librarian April 1st and am loving it! I have lots to learn, though. But It’s all good. Since I started this job I joined some associations, SLA (sci-tech), CARL, and ACRL. I will be going to the SLA conference in Nashville in June…I feel I am embarking on a whole new chapter of my life.

    Oh, and I got my first paycheck as a Librarian today. Boy, was I kind of dissappointed. Not much a an improvement over what I was getting before. Technically, I am getting paid more, but since I am on salary now and not getting paid hourly I will be getting the same amount bi-weekly. It’s so disappointing because I worked so hard in library school and to open my first paycheck and not have it be more than what my other paychecks have been as a library assistant was very dissappointing indeed. But, being an optimist, I have to look at it postively. Right now I am at the bottom rung of the librarian ladder, so it will improve in time. The good thing is that I love my new job and am very happy. I guess that’s most important.

    note from the future (10.20.2011) hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! boy was I ever optimistic.

    Lit.Org : Poetry : The Party :

    Check out this fantastic, brilliant poem written by Cyrus Crowley (aka The Mister)!

    Will passed out in the shower.
    Doreen wrote “loser” across his chest with a magic marker.
    She said he drank to forget his name.
    He said he never forgot his name.

    Doreen wrote “loser” across his chest with a magic marker.
    She said, “Stop kissing me, Will.” He didn’t. She said, “What, did you forget your name?”
    He said he never forgot his name.
    Will vomited on her and almost passed out in the shower.

    She said, “Stop kissing me, Will.” He didn’t. She said, “What, did you forget your name?”
    “You’re more beautiful than my mother,” he said.
    Will vomited on her and almost passed out in the shower.
    He almost fell asleep.

    “You’re more beautiful than my mother,” he said.
    Doreen waited for him to pass out again and then she grabbed a magic marker.
    He almost fell asleep.
    Doreen could only spell sixth grade words.

    Doreen waited for him to pass out again and then she grabbed a magic marker.
    Will woke up with “loser” on his chest.
    Doreen could only spell sixth grade words.
    Will dreamt that Doreen’s fingers stroked his shoulders.

    Will woke up with “loser” on his chest.
    Will passed out in the shower.
    Will dreamt that Doreen’s fingers stroked his shoulders.
    She said he drank to forget his name.

    Yahoo! News – Sept. 11 Families Outraged by Bush Campaign Ad

    I think this quote says it all (from the article):

    “What I think is distastful is that the president is trying to use 9/11 as a springboard for his reelection.”

    Yep.

    “Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it’s something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles.”
