If I Had Taken The Librarian Career Path I Could Have Found True Love Between The Stacks

Because apparently everyone who works at the library is a slut if this book is to be believed. You can tell that by the look she is giving me and the way she checks out that book for me. I can getting all the signals and I like it already. A slut who can read. I don't see a downside here.

Well of course! Underneath their glasses and prim skirts all librarians are fiery founts of passion. Everyone knows that!

Right?

...or is that just me?

They also wear knee high socks in my version of the fantasy. Don't bring a book back late.

Nope, no downside.

I don't think all librarians are promiscuous, but they do have the loveliest covers.

If media has though me anything, its that literate women are the best. Audrey Hepburn's bookstore clerk turned model in "Funny Face", Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" to BJ Ward's Velma in the direct-to-VHS Scooby-Doo movies of the 90s , who had such an sweet "girl next door" voice that you instantly forgot all about whats-her-face with the red hair.

Real life has been no slouch in this department either. Jenny, my first honest to goodness girlfriend, and I had our first brush with "are we more than just friends?" moment at adventurous bookstore outing, and her true feelings came out at trip to the library later.

Libraries are magical places. I need to find clips from that Seinfeld episode where they go to the Library. So many classic parts.

Which stacks are you talking about my friend.

Kal said...

The ones under S for sweater.

I have my master's degree in library science, and I can say that kind of thing never happened to me.

You need to change your cologne to Old Spice and wear more tweed jackets.

Nathan said...

I guess Old Spice deodorant doesn't count.

Kal said...

It depends. Maybe combined with a leather bookbag.
