PRECONCEIVED NOTION
i’m glad that my love for jeremy renner is spreading through my workplace. oh, j. renner your hotness knows no bounds.
is it wrong that i am terribly excited that the children’s librarian at the library i work at has decided to have a hunger games party for the teenagers. my co-worker said she might even bring some berries. i laughed and told her how awful and awesome that would be.
i overheard someone saying, “you have to go back”. and of course, me being me, immediately said, “to what, the island?” and my co-worker said to me, “only you would say something like that”. which i took as a compliment. i hope it was a compliment.
a 13 year-old girl who comes into my workplace just recently discovered supernatural. i told her that i was a huge fan of the show. this was just one of the many conversations that has taken place since then.
girl: i’m a sam girl, because he’s nice, sweet and he cares. what are you, a sam or a dean girl?
me: i like dean because he’s emotionally unavailable.
i wonder if that says a lot about me and my current single status.
this is what i heard a kid say while he was playing a game on the computer:
“dude, we’re getting raped.”
no, you little 11-year old bastard, you are not getting raped. i didn’t know losing at a game was the same as being sexually assaulted. sometimes i just want to slap these kids upside the head. is that too violent of me?
this is what a 12-year old girl said when she saw me checking in titanic at the library:
oh, titanic. such a good movie, it’s so…romantic. and leonardo is so…cute.
ladies and gentlemen, i present to you titanic. still making prepubescent girls’ hearts flutter 14 years later.
…the library that i work at bought all the seasons of lost, and my co-worker started watching it (he knows how much i love the show). he comes up to me and says “man, that show is great”. and then we proceeded to talk about boone and how it wasn’t fair that he died, while shannon got to stay. he’s only on the third season so he doesn’t know that the island disappears. can’t wait for that conversation.
- (while at work)
- me: do you need any help?
- 7 years old patron: yes, do you have any godzilla movies?
- me: we have some on video.
- 7 years old patron: what's that?
i work at a library, so it’s always nice when people come in and donate books and DVDs that they know they’re not going to use in the future. yesterday at work, a lady came in and donated a bag of books. after she left i went through the bag, and most of the books were about sex and how to get the perfect orgasm, etc. there was only one book that wasn’t about sex and it happened to be a copy of the bible. i just thought it was funny that amidst all these sex books is a copy of the bible. all i kept thinking was, “one of these things is not like the other.”
