Success at last!

So I finally had a program people actually came to. Hurray! And if the publishing world and MLS students on YALSA-BK weren't such topic nazis sometimes, I'd be gloating about this there. I mean, really, does young adult librarianship need more than one listserv? Do I really have to wade through every stupid PUBYAC message about cannibalism in the Minnie and Moo books or nursery rhyme storytimes just to ask a question maybe 10% of the list's subscribers could help me with?
Sorry, I just can't help a PUBYAC rant.
Anyway, I had 17 kids show up! That's more than most of the kid programs get. And I kept 17 teenagers entertained for 3 hours. Who's not impressed? The sushi making would have gone better had my knife been as sharp as I thought it was, but everyone had lots of fun and ate lots of Pocky and popcorn. Incidentally, those manga preview collections make great prizes.
Saturday afternoon went so well, I was only slightly annoyed at the lack of boy call Saturday night. 'Course, he also apparently has no phone due to a recent move, which is a whole different kind of boything than stupid-boy-not-calling.
And then Sunday I found my stamps, and I now have a clean bedroom. This is very exciting. I also have 2 large boxes of stuff I'll be donating to the local thrift. I hope someone cool gets my penguin skirt. I also found my reading log book and realized it's time for yet another attempt at keeping track of all the books I read. So, look forward to more reviews/spoilers/etc.
And: May 6 May 6 May 6! I really can't wait for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.
Really, there's only one thing that could bring me down right now. The Caribbean Couple. And there they are! More dressed up than usual, too. Of course, they usually come in Wednesday nights, so why are they here!? The Caribbean Couple are not truly horrible patrons (unlike the 10 year olds who threw a highlighter at the poor page--really, most of our 10 year old patrons annoy me. Hopefully they'll stop sucking before they're mine). The Caribbean Couple are just irritating and show-offy. The first time Mr. Caribbean came in, he was telling me more than I ever needed to know about his family's upcoming move to the Caribbean--hence the name. I faked impressment (I know that's not a word. What is the noun form of impress? Integrious!), but what I was in fact thinking was, Hurrah! An annoying patron who I know is leaving soon! Then I found out they're moving in a year. Honestly, I don't remember what bothered me about them at first, I just know I give a little sigh when they come in, and everytime they come in, I find out more about their stupid family than I care to know. Mrs. Caribbean Couple has a purse that says "Baby Girl", despite her incoming 2nd grandchild. They are also mad at my Wednesday night comrade for "forcing [their] daughter from her computer," if by forcing what you actually mean is telling the 9 year old she's too young for the internet. I could go on and on.
How come everyone bitches about teenaged library patrons and looks at me like I'm a fucking martyr, when kids and adults annoy me so much more? I guess I've just found my niche.
Also nice: teenaged boys who have been raised right will help their librarian clean up. Thanks, guys.
