Hi!

I'm Emily. I'm also

meretia on LJ and Flickr, Ravelry, and the NaNo forums. I just turned 30. I'm currently a substitute reference associate (which is a reference librarian with just a bachelor's degree instead of a library science master's), planning to start an MLS in archives next fall. Right now I live in southwestern Ohio with my cat and my parents and their dog (because I love my job, but I sure can't move out on sub's hours).

I write original fiction. And yep, I'm doing NaNo this year. If you couldn't guess, I'm also a knitter and a photographer. I'm not really so much into fandom, though Great Big Sea and Life on Mars (both the British and the American one) currently make me squeal like a twelve year old girl at a boy band concert. As do historical re-enactments like the Fair at New Boston over in Springfield. I was a history major in college, women's history and US cultural history about 1900-1950, and the late 18th century is my real close second favorite. So I tend to get really excited about strange things (hey you guys, I found an Arm and Hammer recipe booklet from 1914 at the flea market and it's awesome!).

I originally intended to use Dreamwidth as my writing journal, but I've found myself using Dreamwidth more than LJ. My theory is that I would be better at actually reading my reading list if I had more friends over here. I'm not too picky about who I add as friends, I'm fine with just about anyone I have something in common with who uses their journal over here.

I love your username! And I see from your userinfo that you like Douglas Adams! ^_^

In short, can we be friends? :)

I'd love to add you! I love writing. And libraries. And Arm and Hammer recipe booklets from 1914 (in theory, anyways =D).

Hi, I'm a beginner knitter and a failing NaNo participant (yes, behind already), so it seems we have some things in common.

Nice to meet you, and I will be adding you shortly!

Well, I'm doing Nano, planning to apply for library school next fall, like Great Big Sea and history... So I'm adding you, hope you don't mind. ;)

I'm adding you as well. I'm a knitter and sometimes I take photos. I don't update very often, hope it's not a problem.

Added you! We're close in age and I used to work at my local library. I don't write fiction much, but I love reading it!

I was sitting here going "that name's really familiar..." before I figured out that I'd been meaning and forgetting to friend you after your post here. So sure, welcome! I'll friend you back.

Thank you! We most certainly can!

Awesome! I'll add you back.

Hey, so am I. I'm so far back it isn't even funny.

But it's nice to meet you too. I'll add you back.

No, I don't mind at all!

No, that's not a problem at all. I'm not a super-frequent updater either.

Sounds good to me!

I'll add you! Everyone here seems so young and I seem so old. At 29. HA!

I'd like to add you if you still are looking for friends :)?

Your username is nifty and Life on Mars is amazing. May I add you?
