About me:
An old-school goth girl -- goth before they had a name for it. Yes, I really am a librarian. I'm a real live Reference Librarian with a Master's Degree to prove it! I enjoy seeing the look of shock on people's faces when I tell them what I do for a living! I have tattoos & spiky hair--I'm doing my best to trash stereotypes about librarians. I won't shoosh you!My nickname, The Illustrated Librarian, is homage to the Ray Bradbury book, The Illustrated Man, about a person whose tattoos tell their stories in very dangerous ways.
I'm open minded, and I like to meet other people who want to have fun and don't have hangups. It's hard to find time to play with all my hobbies, but it's fun to try. Movies are also a favorite pass-time, either at the theater, or snuggled up at home.
I don't like the sun or the heat, but I live in Palm Springs, and I LOVE Las Vegas. I just stick to indoor activities!

Who I'd like to meet:
Tattoo people (artists & collectors), horror fans, Asian movie fans, cool librarians, like-minded people, and...Rob Zombie.....

Sorry I haven't been keeping in touch. Things are barely starting to settle after the move. I only now feel like I can use the phrase "same 'ol, same 'ol" when asked about my plans for weekends. Oi. 9_9~
Chris and I are doing fine. Still learning how to live together. Dealing with the usual bumps along the way. I love him anyways. <3 >;)
I'm only nervous about the 1st cause bills gotta get paid. I hate worrying about that shite. I'll be ok on the second when it's all said and done.
I hope you're doing well. I'll try to do better about keeping in touch with you. Miss you too! ^_^
Thanks for checkin in! L8R!
