Too Long Between Classes

Next Semester, I'm not having six hours between classes, its nuts. Though I was actually able to get to class with time to spare this morning which felt nice. The concert last night was amazing and its nice to realize just how safe I feel walking around Ann Arbor at night. I mean some places are better lit than others but now I might be more willing to consider doing other things. It always takes me a bit to sort of get comfortable with how I feel walking around a new place.

Not too much other news, I just finished a wonderful book called The Hunger Games, its a fantastic YA Science Fiction book and I recommend it to everyone. If you want a spoiler free review then there's one of my LibraryThing account under the username katekf.

Now since I'm not really in the mood to do my class reading, I'm going to do two memes. The wonderful word meme from athousanderrors.

Also a lovely meme from ashen_key Post a picture in my comments that you think describes me when you think about what/who I am. No matter how surreal or plain. Give no written explanation. Just an image.

Now my words.
Demeter
Demeter has always been one of my favorite goddesses. I like that she chose to go her own way and how much she was willing to do for the love of her family. Also I like that she's a creator, I'm starting to realize that's something that I really relate to and just like. I want to be someone who nurtures and inspires and if I end up the kind of youth librarian who can tend young people's love of reading and learning like Demeter then I'll be happy.

Nature
I grew up in this lovely small college town outside of Philadelphia and there were woods. I tend to get most of my ideas when walking and I love places where you can just feel they've been there a long time. New Zealand and Europe especially Ireland and Greece are some of my favorite places, because of how much the natural world just is a part of everything. I'm trying to take more art photographs of nature and as the leaves are starting to change here will be doing that even more.

Tarot
My mother has read the tarot since I was quite young. She doesn't do it very often but its something the two of us share. My father is very much a scientist and doesn't understand why we do it. I think for me its because I feel that there's more out there than can easily be explained and the tarot is one way to touch it. The deck I have is the Faery Wicca Tarot and I love it, on my road trip up here I bought it a box so that it can live somewhere else than wrapped in a scarf. Its been in that scarf since my sophomore year of college and traveled the world in it. I bought my deck during my first year of college and even though I haven't done a reading in a while just knowing its there is comforting to me.

Books
I know there was a time in my life when I didn't read but honestly I can't remember it. My parents read to me when I was younger and to me books are just friends. No matter where I'm going I always have a book to read. I'm studying to become a librarian so that I can share and pass on this love of words and show people the amazing joy words can bring.

Pirates
I'm not sure why you connect me with pirates but thank you. For a long time I thought I would end up a historian and one of my favorite areas to study is maritime history. I actually had an unpaid internship at a maritime museum in Philadelphia right after I graduated college and I had such fun with it. Pirates are just an extension of this because honestly everything's better with pirates.

(no subject)

I'm feeling slightly grumbly due to a group meeting that could have gone better. I'm not going to go into a rant here, because its just how that person is. So in distraction have that roleplay meme that's floating around.

Also if you're not sure who I play, they can be found here.
