Library Fu!

[whiskyinmind]

I just completely went ninja on a student there. He wanders past the window of our office (when I say window I mean enquiry point, not a glass thing in the wall) talking very loudly on his mobile phone.

So I went out the side door, waited for him to turn the corner, then I pounced.

Loud Sho Voice "'Scuse me, you need to keep the volume down and you need to switch that phone off in the library."

Bloke looks at me, continues talking, I realise he's eleventy billion feet tall and stand my ground.

I ninged.

Go me!

(thank you all so much for your comments to my flocked post yesterday - I will be replying to each and every one of you in person)

eta bloody hell! What is it with people today? Walking back through from the other department I encounter another student doing the exact same thing! So he got the same treatment. (And of course the fact that twice so far today I've had Sam Winchester telling the world that his daddy shot their daddy in the head through the medium of my phone* has no bearing on this...)

* my new awesome phone (still the same number, just a new handset) wot I got given at the weekend by wenchpixie 'cause mine is slowly dying. (it's the Steve phone, I may encase it in lucite)

John is so badass.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

The baddest badass there is.

*nods*

...

sorry, what was I saying? Got distracted by John's ass...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

That's fine. See if I care...

btw - I hope your phone's switched off if you're in the library. I'm on a roll today!

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

yu-huh.

I don't believe you. :p

[hopeless-cynic.livejournal.com]

When you say eleventy billion feet tall, is that as tall, or taller than Jared? 'Cause that makes for a hilarious mental image *g*

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

are my needs not greater than Smeckles' right now?

*pouts*

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking about... maybe an inch shorter than Jared? Still freakishly tall and, as you know, I'm... not tall at all.

(hee - that rhymes!)

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

I can be scary - I'm ninging today...

[hopeless-cynic.livejournal.com]

You're a poet & you didn't know it :D

We short people have to stand our ground, but it's still funny to think of you standing up to a guy that tall... :)

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

And I didn't have time to wash my hair this morning before I left the house so it's all scraped back into a tight knot. I'm the stereotype librarian now, I just need the twin set and pearls (and the chain for my glasses...)

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Ah, but I'll be seeing you in person in... twenty minutes or so?

I can be a pouting librarian ninja then...

[hopeless-cynic.livejournal.com]

Are you wearing your Sam boots? 'Cause they don't really fit with the librarian image :)

Until you get the twin set & pearls (I'm sure you can make a chain up out of something), if you carry around a pen or a stick to poke noisy people with, that'll help with the image...

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

Good on ya! :D (That's meant to be said in my charmingly almost cockney-like accent, if you can imagine)

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

dude... you seem a little... caffeinated.

*g*

It's the glasses on the chain that really finish of the pouting librarian ninja look.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

I'm actually not wearing my Sam boots, but I'm wearing my high leg combat-type boots under my jeans. They definitely don't fit the librarian image...

I should twist my hair into a bun and stick pencils in it.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Shouting at people makes me happy. I may be a little anti-social sometimes...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Yay caffeinated KittyCat!

I don't actually, but I'm sure I could fashion a chain for my glasses from a handy selection of paper clips.

[hopeless-cynic.livejournal.com]

Ok, that still works - kickass boots help with the telling people off.

You should do that, then you can practice pencil throwing at people you don't like, and if you're really good at it, they won't notice who it is, 'cause they're practically hidden in your hair.

Until you get a proper throwing aim down, you could print off a picture of Claudio and have target practice :)

[wenchpixie]

Lucite sounds like a plan to me. Yarr.

You? Are the uber ninja. I'd be scared of your ninging except I'm unflappable. Honest. Really. No look....

Anyway, the eleventy billion feet tall thing just means there's more shin to kick until he falls down :D

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Ha! I could get a dartboard and put Claudio's picture on it.

After all, he's clearly who both of the loudmouths were talking to, since it's all his fault.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

But he might fall down and bite me in the ankles. That would lead to gangrene...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we could sneak in some caffeine into whatever you end up having. Or we could just point and giggle when you stop mid word.

I'm an uber-resourceful pouting librarian ninja (who keeps trying to type lubrarian, that's a whole 'nother thing altogether!)

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

The belly's none to shabby, either.

[hopeless-cynic.livejournal.com]

So if you did some kind of spell on the dartboard so that it actually worked on Claudio too, then eventually the loudmouths would stop talking on the phone in the library! See, you now have a Plan :D

(& yes, it is all his fault *g*)

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

That's not anti-social, that's logical necessary!

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

I imagined it as Australian. :(

lol spelling

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

I'm even keen on the facial hair and that's saying something!

[wenchpixie]

ah, I see your dilemma. That's a toughie. Are you not wearing your long boots today though?

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

We have a *flawless* plan!

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

It's the only logical thing to do, really...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

I am - good point!

Okay, it's a plan then!

[hopeless-cynic.livejournal.com]

It is because we are awesome *nods*

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

you have cock on the brain my dear

and marmite, or is that me?


omg sorry Sho!

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

And what a fine cock it is.

don't tease, you know you already licked it off.

seconding the apology, Sho.

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

That icon in particular has me enchanted with the hands.

[wenchpixie]

Excellent :D

[strangefrontier.livejournal.com]

And of course the fact that twice so far today I've had Sam Winchester telling the world that his daddy shot their daddy in the head through the medium of my phone* has no bearing on this...

Hee! When I get texts, Dean says he hopes my apple pie is freakin' worth it. :D I've shushed loud students in the library before, but it's not always well received. Hmph. If they can't read the freakin' signs that say SWITCH MOBILE PHONES OFF IN THE LIBRARY I doubt there's much on the shelves they can cope with.

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

People are ridiculous with their phones these days. They have intimate conversations in loud tones right in public! Like I care that Jenny went home with a hot guy last night but that the speaker could tell he really wanted to go home with her!
