An Introduction

Hi,
My name is Amanda. I work in a library, yet don't consider myself a librarian even though it's in my job title. I suppose part of that is that I didn't go to school for it and Library School seems to be a big part of this industry. But then, that's why I got my general business/marketing degrees, to pretty much ensure that I could get a job anywhere because technically every job is going to be a business in some capacity. Oddly enough, sometimes practicality does win out with me.

I am single and I'm sure we'll be hearing much more about that later in this blog.

I like cats and have a myriad of them at my house, both inside and out. This relates to the above in that I am probably going to die a crazy, old cat lady.

I'm a Gemini and many of the descriptions out there are pretty accurate towards me. The biggest problem is probably jumping from one project to another and never actually completing anything. And superficiality. I'm bad about that, too.

I have seen very little of the world and the stuff I have seen hasn't been that interesting. Ooh, except the NASA trip. Maybe that will come up again.

I am a weird mix of insecurity, comfortableness, laziness, independence, bossiness, creativity and anxiety.

I am 28 years old, but have taken to just calling it 30 so that it won't be so bad when that actually happens. I'm still a bit afraid of it, though. :(

I still like toys. Very much. And shopping. And games. Fun stuff.

I also wish I was better at something artistic so that I could put all the ideas and stories that come into my head in some form that could be viewed by others or even remembered by me again, but I suck and can't find the means to learn and can't even find a collaborator to do this stuff with. Perhaps that says something more about me, which is where the low self-esteem rears it's ugly head.

And summed up, I really don't sound that interesting, so already blog has epic fail written all over it.
