Library Girl

I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger right now. It's an absorbing and unique take on the chronology of narrative and the possibilities of love at any age. At least I think so. Isn't it funny when something from the reality of your life suddenly echoes a book you're reading instead of the other way around? Henry, the protagonist and time traveler is a librarian by profession. A character named Gomez (who right now at page 398 hasn't developed into a very interesting character yet) calls Henry "library boy" from the first moment they meet -- guess what I got called today by total strangers?? You guessed it--"library girl"! Yes, after work I headed to a nearby grocery store where teenage boys in the produce section said, "Look, there's library girl. Hey aren't you library girl?" I simply gave a "Queen Elizabeth in a parade wave" and floated by. No, not really. I was embarrassed for some reason...
