This is the quickest blog post ever. I am giving myself 10 minutes to write it. That means if you're looking for deep and interesting thoughts, this is probably not the blog you're looking for.
But hey, isn't it deep and interesting to say TEXAN LIBRARIANS ROCK? I think it is. And going to Fort Worth to see them was awesome and I loved every minute. So, thank you TLA, for having me.

Oh yes! It already seems so complex and offers something very different than the books I usually pick up but that only makes it more exciting. As unique as it is, it incorperates a lot of elements I hold dear- so that too, makes it enjoyable. As for the quote, I LOVE it. I was laughing out loud when I read it. In fact all of your responces to the interview questions I have read are very funny!
