I was super worried about going to this meeting thing at a pub tonight to meet other student librarians but I went and one lady bought me a cider and chips and it was good fun. Librarians have good times at pubs. Plus they talked poo poo about their bosses which was cool.

I hope I'll be a cool librarian.

I have a librarian friend who is absolutely hilarious. She says that all the male librarians get hit on a lot but not the ladies. I bet she gets hit on but is being modest.

My sister's a librarian, and she's cool. Married a douchebag though. They're expecting their first kid, and I hope he's not a lovely father.

:laffo: run away from any career involving a library unless you're already old and plan to retire in a few years. That is a job that is dying stupidly fast.

I used to work with a guy getting his Masters in Librarianessessing in Australia and he suggested very hard. Something to do with there being only so many libraries and lots of old librarians.

This morning I told my boyfriend I was thinking of setting a hair appointment this weekend, and he got kinda sad and said he thought I'd have grown it out again by now. What's up with dudes and long hair?

I read this the other day. http://www.newstatesman.com/laurie-penny/2014/01/why-patriarchy-fears-scissors-women-short-hair-political-statement

My fiancé also prefers long hair, but like the author of the article, I find it too high maintainence for me and think it looks bad. My hair has a slight wave at a certain length, so even when it's brushed, it never looks brushed. When it's still short enough, the wave just causes my hair to swoosh to one side.

I can never cut it super short though, because I have a cowlick.

I'm unsure if I should grow it out, to see if I indeed do get more unwanted male attention at work due to long hair, or cut it back down again.

It looks like my original engagement photos from September should still be intact, so we won't have to redo them right away.

my ManpinionTM is that long hair is cool and interesting and short hair is not as cool or interesting.

And the opposite is true for guys. Long dudehair is dumb

i suggest you volunteer, ask them about helping with programs or Friends of the Library or poo poo

see if they lend e-books, you can get an e-reading program on your computer if you don't have an e-reader of your own

'course they probably don't because the old librarians who are holding on until they die aren't generally tech-savvy

i got my master's in library science and i'm hoping against hope for a job

e: i haven't had short hair since i was in fifth grade. my parents had me wear it in this goofy-looking cut until i was old enough to care for it properly. whenever i think about changing the style the only alternative i can imagine is that goofy cut. that is why i haven't changed my hair since fifth grade!

e2: my boyfriend has a goatee and all the Evil Spock jokes i can make will not make him shave it off

I had a pixie cut in 12th grade, and when I showed pictures of myself to people, I was told I looked like a lesbian. When my fiancé and I had just started dating, he told me not to cut my hair like that because I looked like a lesbian. He's become a lot smarter since then, so he no longer thinks stupid things like that, but at the time, I really didn't want to look like a lesbian.

Because I didn't want people to think I liked other girls... No siree... Totally not me....

my ManpinionTM: The best haircuts on women are undercuts, side cuts, and that type of razor bob that goes up really high in the back so you can see the base of the skull. I think women think those are all kinda trashy tho.

A friend of mine had half her head shaved short, the other half longer and permed so it was massive and the whole lot dyed purple. It was loving awesome. Then she got pregnant and has to wait another 3 weeks before she can perm it again, she's gonna be the coolest mummy :3:

Edit: I like the article Nessa. Its so weird that in this, the year of our lord 2014, a lady's haircut can get so many manpanties in a bunch. And ladypanties too.

Staring at hair in public is the only thing that gets me out of the house these days

But seriously I have lovely thick hair that starts curling and afroing out if I don't keep it really short and I'm gonna be bald in 10-15 years anyway so I'm planning out the long transition period rather than going out in a blaze of glory

My favourite part of her personality is that she gives literally no shits who she puts off. People who gave her hassle for it promptly outed themselves as wankers. Its a good social filter too.

i think you're misinterpreting "i don't find that hairstyle attractive" with "she can't have that hair how dare she!!" unless you think looks shouldn't be a factor in dating someone
