I'm not at liberty to say
Student: “Do you work here?” What I want to say: “No. I killed a guy to get this fancy name badge, and I’m sitting here behind this fancy desk, pretending to do reference work because I’m secretly on a CIA mission to infiltrate the seedy community college underbelly; we have a lead that can be traced to the library. But what I really want to know is CAN I TRUST YOU?...

My Celebrity Doppelgänger?
That thing is going around on Facebook where people post a picture of their celebrity doppelgänger. Only person I can recall being compared to is Katherine Heigl (and I don’t see that AT ALL.

Me: they would NEVER INVITE ME AGAIN
Erin: hahaha.
Me: and I'd be SO okay with that
I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it...
