Lozzie time...

[lozzie]

There once was a girl named Loz
Who posted this thread just beacause
It seemed like fun
So don't turn and run
Yes she came from the great land of Oz

Now that the random limmerick is out of the way... go on, ask your questions

Hi lozzie,

Cute limmerick.

Have You ever been to Hillsong Church?

God Bless!

 

[lozzie]

Not specifically no...

I went to Hillsong Conference when I was in Yr12...

and I've been there to see Third Day play. But thats it...

 

[Allen1901]

OK,

I watch them on TV every week, so I was wondering.

God Bless!

Do you make a hobby of writing limericks?

 

[kittysbecute]

Have you ever read the Wizard of Oz?

 

[lozzie]

Do you make a hobby of writing limericks?

Not really

I do enjoy writing poetry when the mood takes me though. Rare times that they are. When I'm on holidays and not doing work for work, or uni work, are generally the times that I feel creative ie when I don't have to use my brain.

 

[lozzie]

Have you ever read the Wizard of Oz?

No I haven't. Only seen the movie...

I really want to read Wicked at some point though!

 

[toastface_grillah]

Totally hear you. My fiction writing took off like a rocket once I was out of college. No more full-time classes and responsibilities, and lots of story ideas.
Do you volunteer anywhere in your spare time?

 

[lozzie]

Not in the traditional sense of the word no...

I am a youth group leader at church though... so I give up my Friday nights for that

What was your favorite childhood book?

 

[lozzie]

I had two:

Jillian Jiggs
Robert the Rose Horse

 

[toastface_grillah]

What's your favorite recent/today book?

 

[lozzie]

Hmmm that's tricky! I dont necessarily have a favourite book, more favourite series or authors. I'll list a few that I love:

* Jane Austin - Pride and Prejudice
* Fiona McIntosh - Shapeshifter trilogy
* Matthew Reily - all his Scarecrow books
* John Marsden - Tomorrow series
* Tamora Pierce - books based in Tortall

Now, since I am a librarian in a primary (K-6) school, I have quite a few favourite children's authors:
* Roald Dahl
* Morris Gleitzman
* Paul Jennings
* Justin D'Ath
* Dave Pilkey (who doesn't love Captain Underpants!)

 

[scraparcs]

Are you married now?

 

[lozzie]

Nope, nowhere even close

I haven't been in a relationship in nearly 2 years and don't know anyone I even like at present.

It's all good though. I happy with where I am at the moment.

 

[scraparcs]

How long have you been a librarian?

 

[lozzie]

I've been a teacher librarian for the past 6 months. Before that I was a teacher for two years. I've been studying part time by distance ed for the past two and a half years to get a MEd in Teacher Librarianship. This time next year I will have just finished. I can't wait...

I did a two week placement in a public library during the last school holidays and it made me realise how much I love my job

 

[toastface_grillah]

What was the main difference between the public library and the school library - and why did you love the school one more?

 

[smacarena]

Do you know how much I love the Aussies? How awesome is it living in Australia?
