About Me Let's see...I am a 23-year-old fat chick living in Maryland. I just finished attending college here and I majored in the ever "practical" subject of English. I still don't know what I will do with a bachelor's degree in English--probably go slowly insane while living in a smelly old box--but for now, I'm a self-concious, horomone-crazed bibliophile with a passion for the creative, the unusual, and the highly texturized. I'm currently working part-time in a university library, justing trying to figure where I fit in the world. And remember kiddies: "'Sex' is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other." --Marquis de Sade

The Joust!

Sunday, February 17, 2008, 10:38 PM [General]

The joust...joust...joust...

Gentle peasants and busty wenches, please join me in cheering on Sir Geoffrey of Snevil! Huzzah!

And, of course, raise thy voices in a fond huzzah for gentle Sir Jonathan of Sgoodia. Huzzah!

The goodly knights take their positions as the lovely Princess Blandly of Flatchester greets each with a warm smile and words of encouragement. Only one knight shall walk away from this field today victorious, only one knight shall take the hand of Princess Blandly in marriage and his rightful place on the throne of our fair kingdom.

Billy the peasant presents the lances to the knights. Thank you, Billy.

And they're off!

Ooooh, they missed! Close call...Close Call!

The Princess does not look happy. She came here to see blood, not fey men tickling each other!

Meanwhile, the crowd cheers. Huzzah! This match sure is exciting!

And they're off for the second pass! Huzzah!

Oh no! Sir Geoffrey is hit!

Sir Geoffrey has been unseated! He has lost the Princess and the kingdom! What a loser!

The crowd goes wild! Huzzah! Sir Jonathan of Sgoodia wins the hand of the fair Princess Blandly of Flatchester!

The happy couple embraces warmly in the tender light of chivalrous victory as Sir Geoffry's evicerated corpse is removed from the field. Congratulations, Sir Jonathan! We greet you as our new king!

Hail good Sir Jonathan of Sgoodia, our new king! We place our lives in your smarmy hands!

Yes, this is what I do in my spare time.

Anyway.

Librarian-ness...

Thursday, January 24, 2008, 04:09 PM [General]

I'm giving serious consideration to pursuing my Master's of Library Science degree online. My bachelor's degree in English just isn't cutting it for me financially, and getting my Masters online might be my best option to get out of this hole I've dug for myself. As it is right now, I have no transportation to go to the University of Maryland or Catholic University, the two closest library science schools, and I certainly don't have the money to take the train to get to either place, so online coursework would be the easiest thing for me. Plus I'd have an excuse to continue working only part-time here at the University of Baltimore while I worked on getting my MLS.

Yes, it would mean approximately $40,000 more in loans, which would probably work out to about $300 more a month a month in loan repayments when I finish the program, but I think I could swing it if I were making approximately $40,000 a year as a librarian.

Hmmm.

Drexel seems to have one of the better online MLS programs around. I want to get some more information before I jump in, but I'll probably be going with Drexel. I'm a little nervous about doing everything completely online though. Anyone have any experience with online classes?
