About
About me, this blog, more me, etc.
I’m a librarian at a public library, a total nerd, a baseball fan, a clotheshorse, a belly dancing fanatic, a voracious reader, a knitter, an enthusiastic baker, and a Francophile. I like to know what’s going on in the world, and I can get just as worked up about politics as I can about an item of clothing. I love to travel and learn new things, meet new people, and encounter new ideas. There’s all kind of trivia about everything floating around my brain, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The title of this blog comes from a quote by Jeremy Bentham: “Natural rights is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsense — nonsense upon stilts.” Like Mr. Bentham, I embrace the idea that something can be so absurd that it resides on a higher plane of ridiculousness. Unlike him, I am totally on board with the idea that people gain rights just by existing.
I like books, baking, the combination of pomegranate and alcohol, sports, music, television, children, pretty shoes, unintentionally bad movies, traveling, makeup, the Internet, and corn.
I hate coconut, things that remind me of coconut, ear wax, doing my taxes, losing things, people who walk slowly, and the phrase “to make a long story short.”
