About Me!

I am a Master of All Literature, or so my diploma says (that's what MA Lit stands for, right?) and can now command words the way a mighty goddess commands planets and stars. I work in a library*.  I am a singer of murder ballads, crafter of geeky things. I am learning to knit and am obsessed with socks and mittens. I am a fledgling novelist and a cracking good lass. I have limited zombiepocalypse survival skills, but I'm amusing and sarcastic and I make with the quips, so you should probably help keep me alive in the event of said zombiepocalypse.

In real news, I was a 2012 first round Cybils panelist in the graphic novel category, and it was awesome. 

I take for my mantra these words from John Green:

I mean Hank, the movie was great, but the thirty minutes before the movie started was what I love about being a nerd. Because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don't have to be like, 'Oh yeah that purse is okay' or like, 'Yeah, I like that band's early stuff.' Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself-love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they are saying is, 'You like stuff', which is just not a good insult at all, like 'You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness'.

It's a long mantra.

Here, look at this picture.

Hunks and quips, my favorite things in life.

 Thanks for stopping by.

*This work informs my worldview, but my opinions are my own and not that of my employers. Which should go without saying, but the official social media policy compels me to add this because policy makers bank on people not being critical thinkers and readers. But I know you are good readers and thinkers. And exceedingly good looking. Really, you're quite dashing.
