My Chinese Horoscope

Time for another Blogthings insert!

You Were Actually Born Under:
Delicate, timid, and attractive - sometimes you really do act like a bunny.
You're very compassionate and protective of those you love, sometimes too protective.
Your home is really your castle, and you make sure your home is comfortable and well furnished.
You don't like to argue - and you prefer a quiet, peaceful life.

You are most compatible with a Goat or a Pig.
You Should Have Been Born Under:

Resourceful and practical, you are a quick thinker.
You are very observant - and it's hard to get anything past you!
A total perfectionist, you are especially picky about looking your best.
You're a big dreamer - such a big dreamer that reality can disappoint you.

You are most compatible with an Ox or Snake.

EBL Conference

I'm on the organising committee of the 3rd International Evidence Based Librarianship Conference which will be taking place in just a few weeks. I spent this entire weekend working on the conference handbook and while I'm now totally exhausted, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute!!

Check out the conference blog.

Gender confused?

I found a funky little site called "Blogthings" and there are all these great little quizes you can do.

I'm probably going to do a whole bunch of them so you can get used to Blogthings boxes scattered throughout my blog.

This first one speaks for itself:

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

My personal life


I thought it might be worth mentioning that I have have a lovely partner called Steve.

We have been together since December 2004 and I have been living with him for a few months now...officially since August.

He is a wonderful man. I have come to really admire and respect him. He has so many fantastic qualities I don't even know where to begin! He makes me laugh, he makes me cry. I feel safe and protected when I'm with him. He draws me back from the brink of stupidity. He is the Yin to my Yang and I love him with all my heart.

Nuff sed.

Maiden entry

As a librarian, I hear people talking about blogs all the time. Frankly, it gets a little tiresome after a while. Nevertheless, I have decided to plunge headlong into librarian conformity and get me a BLOG!

I must admit that I'm a little nervous and I suspect I'll make a hames of it but what the hey!
