I've always claimed to be a nerd. I could probably go to the bookstore or library every day of the week and never get bored. I enjoy board games and museums (just not art museums). I am going to school to become a librarian, for crying out loud.
Despite all these things, I was never certain that I was a full-fledged nerd. The past few days have confirmed it for me. And the event that solidified all of this was the ALA (American Library Association) Annual Conference. This year it was held in Washington DC, so it was great to be able to just hop on the metro and be surrounded by books, authors, and other people just as enthused as me.
I am so excited to become a librarian. Even though I saw some STRANGE looking people (obese, extremely short, horrendous outfits), I knew that I shared something in common with them and I think that's lovely.

"magic!" (there are hand motions that go with this, i'll let you figure them out)
