Four years later, discovering that she had not found herself, Laura returned to the East Coast armed with a dual degree in Macrame and Napping. Laura resided in Boston, Massachusetts for 12 years, where she did post-graduate study in procrastination and nocturnal poetry writing before moving back to her native New York. She is the Systems Librarian for a fabulous museum/archives/library hybrid, a voracious reader, and a self-taught guitarist (some might contest this last one). Laura likes to reminisce about times spent gesticulating at others from the driver's seat of the car she used to own when she was solvent. In her spare time, Laura likes to get riled up over the actions, attitudes, and general arrogance of the Bush administration until she's blue in the face.

AND, although rumors of an alleged unsavory photospread for Library Journal have gone unfounded, Laura has been known to lay around on her living room carpet eating chips and salsa for hours on end.
