Library Revolution

I’ve been tagged by Amy at Pimp My Library with this 8 things meme that’s going around. So here goes. 8 random things about me.

1. I have a strict personal rule: I will not eat nuts after 3 pm. My husband is deathly allergic to tree nuts and peanuts… which I love. So I’ll eat them at work, but once 3:00 strikes, I won’t touch them. I want any nuts I may have consumed to be completely off my hands, my breath, and on nothing that I have touched. I just don’t want to kill Chris. Not really.
2. I really thought Long Island was part of New York City until I was in college. Or maybe until part way through college. Now I live there, and it decidedly is not NYC. Go figure.
3. When we go to baseball games, I like to keep score in my custom – made scorebook. Chris makes one fro me and one for himself each year, custom designed to accommodate our own individual scoring styles. He has them professionally bound, and we have years worth of games recorded for posterity. Plus, my scorebook makes a great weapon in the bleachers at Shea. Don’t ask – it’s not one of my prouder moments.
4. I don’t like white cars. I just don’t.
5. I read that my house is in a prime hummingbird breeding area, so I tore out the back garden and replaced it with plants that supposedly attract hummingbirds. I tend that garden meticulously, and it’s beautiful. Have I seen a single hummingbird? No.
6. I started out in life as a musician… First as a singer and then as a music historian. I was pretty successful, but I hated the whole thing. LibraryWorld came later, and quite by chance. Except for my MLS, all of my education has been in music. And that’s a lot of education. I still sing with a choir, but that’s the end of it. And no, I do not take requests.
7. I love, love, love bad TV. The worse it is, the more I love it. Reality TV, Soap Operas, Home Shopping Network, Crappy Reruns… bring it on. My brain is rotting as we speak.
8. I can’t knit. Or do anything with yarn. Shhh… don’t tell. It’s sort of a deep, dark secret.

That was hard, hard, hard. Eight is a lot of things.

This has gone through a lot of people already… so I’m going to break the rules and not tag. If you haven’t had your turn yet, let me know and I’ll add some tags.

ETA: Chris wanted to be tagged. OK.
