BioWelcome to 2009!!
I don't know how much I'll be keeping up my journal, what with two Library Science classes, but I'll try! :) I'm taking Organization of Knowledge and Reference and Online Services this semester, and looking forward to them!
I am registered to attend my first American Library Association Annual conference this July! Feel free to message me if you're attending as well and want to meet up. :)

dr_is_in, many thanks!

About me? Well I'm a 29-year old lifelong science fiction geek who loves to read voraciously, write when the muse hits me, craft like there's no tomorrow, cosplay any chance I get and currently is beyond obsessed with Torchwood and Captain Jack Harkness! I have a BA in Mass Media & Theatre, and have just begun working on a Master's in Library and Information Science (leaning toward Technical Services but I'm just beginning so that may change). I spend far too much time online, and when I'm not planted at the computer I'm likely knitting a Dalek, sewing a costume, walking around Chicagoland in a costume, or hanging out in the Edgewater neighborhood with my friends.
I also spend some of my spare time working with A Reasonable Facsimile Theatre Company. I ran lights for the Christmas show and hopefully will be doing the same for the next production, Clitoris Stories by Tina Haglund (opening later this year!). We also do a monthly staged television rerun series at The Spot on Broadway, and I've been helping with that. It's a blast -- staged readings of different television shows. So far we've done a variety of shows including Lavergne & Shirley, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Married With Children, Joey, Perfect Strangers, and more!
I'm on Facebook and MySpace but please let me know you're from LJ (and your LJ name), I turn down friend requests from ppl I don't know. You can also find me at the Anime Central Forums or Cosplay.com or Torchwood Writer's Union board when I'm not here! (I'm KnitChick or KnitChick1979 almost everywhere)
