They are the lanterns and you are the light.

I've just started How It's Done by Christine Kole MacLean. It's about an 18yrold girl who's led a very sheltered, religious life (her dad has the "In case of Rapture this car will be unmanned" bumper sticker I've always joke-wanted) until she gets involved with a hot young college professor.
Unlike in a lot of teen girl/older man books, Grace has the sense and/or balls to ask why her professor isn't dating someone his own age.

"I have," he said..."But they are too hard. There's no 'give' to them. They already think they know everything...With you, there's this incredible sense of discovery and openness to things. To me."

Enter Bitter. It'd just be nice to not feel like my experiences and intelligence are not a liability for once, for more than 3 dates.
And you know, I wasn't in a bad mood or cranky or bitter about boys today, until I read that. Jerks.

Have I left my home just to whine in this microphone?

It should come as not surprise to anyone that, for a variety of reasons, I haven't been blogging nearly as much as I did in the That Town years.
The other day, I found myself missing the forced non sequitor of the Billboard entries.
I'm playing with Twitter for work, kind of to see how my new library can use it. Because I keep seeing all this stuff online about it, and how great it would be for libraries to jump on yet another bandwagon, but no one has any actual tips and tricks. (I'm thinking we should run our New Stuff and Today's Programs RSS feeds through it, though.)

But anyway, if you miss me here at PoBaL, I'll be over at Twitter being random. And that's not to say I'll never be here again. I still visit my parents' house in Pittsburgh, but I leave a forwarding address so people can find me where I live now.
