MAG meeting

Librarians ROCK MY SOCKS. Thank you to the ALA for saying this - it's blatant, but apparently it has some trouble getting through some people's minds. Gee. I so need to be a librarian. Can you be a politician, a librarian, a teacher and an activist all at once ?

Had a lovely evening tonight at the MAG. We watched Du ska nog se att det går över, internationally known as Don't worry, it will probably pass. It was nice, though uneven - one of the girls, My, totally looked like a mix between my friend Julia and scarletsky21, therefore lovely. The third one, Natalie, completely reminded me of Violette for a few takes where she was facing the camera with her hair loose.

Anyway, mostly it was nice to meet people. There were two couples there at first, both of which looked like cuteness incarnated. I'll probably talk about this more tomorrow. One of the girls, Pauline, had the best. look. ever. With short (but not too much) hair all spiked, it looked ever so good. I heart her and her girlfriend. Hopefully I'll be able to go there some more in the next couple of weeks and then I'll apply to be a "receptionist", which is really the person welcoming new people who show up and talking to them and making them feel at ease. I'd love to help that way. I like the people there so far, so it's a definite plus.

On that note, I'm off to dream about my amazing fan_elune who'll be here in 15 days and whom I can't wait to hug and kiss and snuggle to.

You can definitely be a librarian and an activist at once. Especially if you are the one chosing which books the library will get... You can direct a few choices in the directions you want.
Librarian and teacher... Hmm, it's getting more difficult, unless you manage to do two very different things at two very different places at the same time. :-P

Well you can always be an activist no matter what your first job is, to be honest. As long as you want to, you can always manage to get involved in something. Being an activist as a job does sorta come in the way of doing another job though ;)
And well, I guess picking the books for the library could have some activist connotation, but I'd rather not think so. See, the thing I loved about the ALA note is that they *weren't* being homophiles. They were being fair and equal to everybody. (Just like, to me, the MA Judges who said same-sex marriage was constitutional and *had to* be permitted in MA.) Or something. ;)

Hmm, I haven't read that ALA note, but picking the library books definitely can be part of activism. You can either go the easy way and chose only standard books, or act on either what you believe in and/or like and replace a few of those consensual choices by books that seem important to you.

I know, I was surprised!!! It was really cool though. You don't know my friend Julia, but the girl totally looked like her too, which is funny cuz I never thought you two looked like each other...
