Surprisingly, I was hanging out there with Meredityh from Oh, The thinks you can think (@thinkthinkers) who now tries to play down her high school library connections. :-)<br /><br />I was waiting in the library last week for a writing class I am working with to meet me. My son was running late. I asked the librarian if she knew where he was and her reply was 'not sure, but if you wait here until lunchtime you'll definitely be able to catch up with him'. Looks like we have another generation of library lurkers in the family. <br /><br />PS the library kids ARE the cool kids. it's just that the other kids don't realise it. :-)Susan Whelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253437044745874795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-21213080570721014382011-08-15T23:12:19.733+10:002011-08-15T23:12:19.733+10:00Library.

Smoking in the toilets probably.<br /><br />Rehersing for the school play?<br /><br />Pontificating on and on and on in the debating society?<br /><br />Hockey practice?<br /><br />It's all a blur.<br /><br />I was so not a cool kid.

I confess I was doing something far less cool than either of these things - I was (gulp) blending in. Blending in with the types you never hear from after high school because they have neither the scholastics nor the gumption to ever really do anything... They graduate and then they blend into the walls at the local council and the hairdressers. Thank god I found the library (and the bike sheds!) eventually!!!! xMaxabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761220164069379437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-5621605773526509432011-08-15T22:14:06.381+10:002011-08-15T22:14:06.381+10:00The library.
