Dear Internet.
I’ve got to be honest with you. The closest I have ever come to blogging is laughing at people who write really pointless, angry Youtube comments and making pictures of Colin Firth my computer screen saver, so I’m not really sure how to go about this. I think maybe we should start by being honest with each other. The Internet is nothing if not honest.
Well, my name’s Laura and I am a librarian. And yep, that does mean that I read a lot. I set myself a challenge at the start of the year to read 52 books in 52 weeks. So far, I have read 31 books in 22 weeks. I’m ahead of schedule because I read Poison Study by Maria V Snyder and liked it so much I read all of her other books in just over a week.
I love coffee and chocolate (I’m not addicted, I just enjoy twitching). I have a horse called Nimbus but I don’t often call him by his real name usually it’s ‘Orange Pony’ or any combination of my favorite swear words when he’s misbehaving. I think 30 Rock is the greatest show to ever exist (Closely followed by Community and CSI) and I admire Tina Fey so much that my religion on Facebook is currently listed as ‘Feyminist’.
My love of music started when I was 6 years old. When I relentlessly begged my parents to get me Alanis Morissette’s ‘Jagged Little Pill’.
Eventually they gave in and my obsession with music began. Growing up the sound track of my life was severely different from other kids but I didn’t care, I had Freddie Mercury, Carole King and Johnny Cash. There isn’t really a type of music I don’t like. Apart from Glee. Glee is the worst.
That’s pretty much all you need to know about me for now. My plan is to just make it up as I go and try my best not to sound like Charlie Sheen.
Best wishes,
Laura.

Is it ok that I snorted and laughed while reading your post? I blame you for making my colleagues look at me funny :) Thank you for providing my morning laughs. And welcome aboard!
Welcome aboard Laura. Nice to see another new blogger venturing out into the big world.

It'd be great if you could not sound like Charlie Sheen too. *grin*

@breve711 - Yes. Yes they do. Although, I suspect I am just the teensiest bit biased :)
