About me20-and-then-some years old. Part-time (and still hopeful) librarian, student. Residing in Uppsala, Sweden.

I'm not afraid of growing old (I think). Things seem to get better as you grow up, being an real adult one day will be totally awesome.

Total quote slut - will always try to solve your problems with a piece of lyric, poetry or similar.

Also, I'm kind of a bastard, but only occasionally in a bad way.

Totally not anguished.

Kind of pretentious.

About my libraryAn odd mix, but then again, I guess most personal libraries are. Some adolescent fantasy from my teenage days, some not-quite-so-adolescent fantasy, classics and textbooks from my lit-sci-days, books on folklore, myth and religion because I'm a nerd, books about LIS and libraries because I'm a librarian wannabe. Poetry because I'm a poet at heart (lame)... I could go on and on like this.

I like weird, magical, strange and unsettling books, thing that make you go "huh?" and "ooh!"

My collection isn't exactly tidy: It has long ago escaped the confinement of my shelves and is now roaming free and wild across my desk, night table, dinner table, and floor. I have now (finally!) catalogued almost all of it (except the ones that I have stashed away and am trying to forget I ever owned) but there might still be one or two rouge ones around somewhere. Basically, though, this should be the lot, in case you're wondering (Yea, I mean you ;-) ).
