To My New Blogfriends

Since I met a lot of new people at TequilaCon and some are actually reading my blog now (woohoo!), I thought I’d take a second to fill new readers in on who I am and where I’m at in life.  And stuff.  So here’s things about me that I talk about alot or tend to assume that people know about me:

• I’m 25 years old and live outside of Philadelphia.  I’ve lived in PA for my whole life and it’s my home.  That being said, I’d love to live out west and in other states and countries!
• I LOVE to travel!  I’ve spent a lot of time in England and some in France, since my college friend’s boyfriend lives in England.  They invite me over to stay with them and then take me all over the place.  It’s pretty sweet.
• I’m a bibliophile, I love to read and collect books; I especially love that book smell, mmmmmmm.  Because of this I’m in grad school right now for Library and Information Science.  I’m hoping to someday work in archiving taking care of really old books in the Library of Congress or Bodleian in Oxford.
• I love animals.  Last summer I adopted my first dog from my local animal shelter, Teddy.  He barks too much, freaks out when I leave him, and pulls the leash out of my hand so he can run around the neighborhood.  But he loves me wholeheartedly no matter what, which is what counts in a dog.

• I used to work in a cancer research lab since my bachelor’s degree is in biology.  But my boss was an asshat, so I left.  Since I needed a job until I finish grad school, I’m working as a nursery school teacher for a Montessori school.
• I like to bake, watch movies, and rearrange the Shakespearean magnetic poetry on my fridge.
• Some of my academic loves outside of bio include anthropology and archaeology, specifically Egypt, Greece, and Rome.  I also love languages and studied German, Latin, and Attic Greek.
• I’m single and I’m doing online dating.  So far nothing worthwhile has come of it, but as I still have a subscription for like 6 more months, I’ll refrain from judgement for a while.

I guess those are the main points right now.  For more random info about me, check out my “100 things about me” tab up top.  Now all you newcomers can be up to speed in my incredibly boring fast paced life!
