"yes, good has been done here...."
I'm currently updating my livejournal, searching for Tin Man fanfic, and listening to VeggieTale's "The Hairbrush Song" all at the same time. I'd like to say it's 'cuz I'm an amazing multitasker, but I think it's more accurate to state that I've an increasingly short attention span. Especially when I'm online.

...What was I doing again?

Oh. Right. First, I'd like to announce that I just finished watching Scifi Channel's Tin Man. If you haven't had a chance to see it, may I say that I freaking loved it? And that you should watch it. Especially if scifi interpretations of classic children's literature intrigue you. Or if you like Zooey Deschanel. Or if, like myself, you're looking for another ridiculous romantic pairing to 'ship. (Is it any surprise, really, that I'm a DG/Cain shipper? I didn't think so.)

Second, I guess it might be of interest to know that I have a job: an official Librarian position...Children's Librarian, no less. Which I'm both excited and terrified about. I love working with kids, but the whole storytelling thing kinda freaks me out. I keep telling myself that, yes, I am enough of a dork to pull it off, but for once in my life, I'm doubting the extent of my dorkiness. Not that I'm really certain I want to be reassured on this front....

And last, it seems that Sword & Sorceress may be up for another issue. So if I can think of something to write about---eep!---I may very well have a chance at being published two years in a row. And then I'll probably have to start figuring out how to find other publishing opportunities. Or, you know, writing more.

Yeah.

You should be! I'm such a meme addict that without you, this journal may very well cease to exist. :)

Re: wishes I watched more movies...
It's kinda like free association for movies. Weird. And, yes, I'm sorry, but none of those are correct. Since you were lovely enough to even attempt it, though, I'll add a keyword for all the ones you've guessed:

3. Funeral, sidecar, hamster, fingerprints, epilepsy

4. Eagle, river, pyre, brotherhood, trilogy

8. Nude drawing, rooftop, deportation, counter culture, musical

9. Kidnapping, knight, tutor, misfit, terminal illness

10. Goldfish, billboard, clock, nightclub, false memory

As for where I'm working, I'll be at a branch of the Dallas Public Library. Wheee!

Re: wishes I watched more movies...
2. The Parent Trap
3. I am Sam
4. Lord of the Rings
8. Rent
10. Memento
I also really want 1. to be The Truth about Cats and Dogs, but I can't make it go.

Again, also wrong. You should go guess mine, allthough #4 is off the table. It has been identified.

Re: wishes I watched more movies...
You got #4! I was thinking specifically of The Return of the King, but your guess works. :) As for the others, nope, still no go. But in case you want to keep pecking away at it, I'll give you a hint: most of these are on my Facebook profile under either my Favorite Movies list or the Movies application.

And some additional keywords for those you've guessed:

1. Marriage license, ribbon, herpetology, realtor, black comedy

2. Mistaken identity, divorce, resort, tap dancing

3. Funeral, sidecar, hamster, fingerprints, epilepsy, New Jersey

8. Nude drawing, rooftop, deportation, counter culture, musical, The Beatles

10. Goldfish, billboard, clock, nightclub, false memory, future noir

And now I'm off to guess yours!

Re: wishes I watched more movies...
Yup. 'Tis correct. :) Thanks for guessing. Especially since some of my movies are not terribly well-known. Or they're old. Or they're weird.

Woohoo! It was a lot of fun guessing. I want to make one of my own. Maybe that will be my next study break...

And I'm sorry I didn't say congratulations on the new job right away! I hope it ends up being great.

Me too. ;) My start date's been delayed for another two weeks because they didn't get my background check in time. Bother. So now I'm studying up on how to, er, *be* a children's librarian.

And do make one of your own! I wanna guess!!

I think you're going to be a natural! And you'll get to pretend you're a giant all the time since they have all those short shelves. Oh, but maybe you'll also have some back problems. Oh well, I guess there's some sacrifice involved in getting to pretend you're a giant.

That's a very good way to look at it. Not only will I feel the power of being Large in the World of Tiny, I can be as dorky as I want. Because, really, who says giants have to be like normal people? Like normal *librarians*? Hmm? That's right...giants are *not* normal...they are Large, In Charge, and---doesn't rhyme with "large," but...they're dorky, too. A big, authoritative goofball, that's what I'm gonna be! A children's librarian with a Giant style!

(thank you for the coping mechanism :D)
