Things I Like in No Particular Order
1. Books
2. My job - I am a librarian. I get paid to read books, talk about books, and hang out with kids and teens who like reading.
3. Comic books (I have many favorites, including in no particular order Brian K. Vaughan, Neil Gaiman, Fiona Staples, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis, Gail Simone, Jim Lee, Scott Snyder, Garth Ennis, Paul Dini, Jeff Lemire, writing or drawing for in no particular order - Daredevil, Superman, Batgirl, Nightcrawler, Captain America and anything else that seems amazing).
4. Batgirl - Relatedly, the Barbara Gordon incarnation of Batgirl was a librarian. Though I have much love for Cass Cain and Stephanie Brown, too.
5. Dogs
6. Running
7. Pixar
8. Neil Gaiman
9. Lists
10. Doing-It-Myself projects

12. Knitting
13. Video Games - I am a PlayStation lady. Favorites include Journey, The Witcher, the first two Batman Arkham games, Assassin's Creed, Skyrim/Oblivion, Fallout, and Red Dead Redemption. And Lego games. And Little Big Planet. I'm trying to get into DragonAge but I have a lot of other things I haven't played yet and it hasn't totally grabbed me.

Things I Do Not Like, In No Particular Order
1. Baked beans
2. Peanuts
3. People who have never been to Milwaukee or have only seen crummy parts of it, and thus think it sucks. And say, "Oh, you're from Milwaukee? I'm SORRY!"
4. Bees, hornets, wasps... and whatever those awful things are with the hangly-dangly legs when they fly.
5. Pushy salespeople at shoe stores
6. Booties
7. The sound of idling cars
8. Being late for things
9. Pretentious stuff
10. Eh... it's more fun thinking of things I do like. But I also dislike Cool Ranch Doritos. And Mountain Dew. Yuck.
