Anne's Modifications

My name is Anne Pemberton and I will be finishing my Master's in Information Science from the University of Tennessee in May 2000. I hope to work for an academic library somewhere in the South upon graduation.

I was destined to become a librarian as I am a third generation info professional. Although generation two strongly objects to my "modifications," they were done before I entered into grad school and I can't promise that there won't be more along the way. I began my "modifications" about 4 years ago.

I got my first tattoo about four years ago in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is the last name of a well-known German philosopher, Nietzsche (check out some good quotes at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/4148/friedrich.html). It is on my back (in the middle, towards the right).

My second tat is a colorful Jerusalem Cross (or the Cross of the Crusades) (http://cc.cumber.edu/cross/crjer.htm). I also got my belly button pierced on that same visit (also in Knoxville).

My third tattoo is definitely my favorite (also in Knoxville) and it is an arm band on my right arm. It is a wave going around my arm. I love it! My boyfriend (also a modified library sci student) has a similar band around his lower leg which is awesome!!!

My fourth tattoo is an ARMADILLO!!!! Check out: http://members.xoom.com/cyberdillo/boa_members.html.  I got this one in El Paso, Texas as my friends and I were driving from Nashville, Tennessee to Phoenix, Arizona. We fell in love with the armadillo and my friend Heather and I had to have some matching tats to remember that trip.

So there is the story of my modifications! I love this site and hope that there are more librarians and info professionals out there who feel they don't have to fit the stereotype of the bun-headed, nag lurking in the library!
