If you're new here and are visiting because of Armchair BEA, welcome! I would like to introduce myself to give you all a brief background on who I am.
I enjoy taking ridiculous pictures of myself when
I should be doing something way more productive.
*My dream job is to do social media marketing for: 1) a zoo, 2) a book company/store/publishing company/etc., 3) anything in the entertainment world.
*I will read pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I have a weakness for YA and Harry Potter.
*I love coffee, Diet Coke, dark chocolate, and peanut butter.
*I'm from Pittsburgh, PA and will be Armchair BEA'ing from my home. I'm really excited to network with all of the other bloggers who won't be at BEA. I really hope you like what you see here and decide to stick around. Sure, the free books at BEA would be awesome, but it would also be amazing to meet a million other bloggers. Now with Armchair BEA, we can have some part of this.
*You can always reach me on the Twitter--I'm obsessed. @KaitorTot
*I have the best friends in the world!
Are you participating in Armchair BEA? It's going to be great! Leave me a comment with your intro posts and I will come check them out.
It's great to meet you and to visit your blog. I love dark chocolate too! Once upon a time, I thought about going into journalism...then switched to a psychology major. After graduation, I got a master's in counseling. I'm a retired social worker/writer.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY ARMCHAIR BEA KICK-OFF POST
Hi! Nice to meet you! I almost went into journalism but now am hoping to go into Library Science and information Technology.
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of you and your friends! It does look like you gals have a grand ole time! :) Great to meet you too!
ReplyDeleteNice blog! I'm sorry you weren't able to go to BEA, but I'm glad I was able to find your blog on the armchair BEA site! Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a fun life plan! And I love your Twitter name! Cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I am planning on going to BEA next year, but for now I can enjoy it from home and meet some great bloggers.
ReplyDeleteIn The Name Of Books
Hope you'll get a chance to head to BEA12 next year. If all goes well, I will not make the mistake of missing it again!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics! And I am so glad you said dark chocolate!
And I have to say that I can totally see the connection between landing a job doing Social Media Marketing for an entertainment company and a zoo. The entertainment world is really not much different!
Happy armchair week!

ReplyDeleteDark chocolate is delicious. I'm addicted to the mini dark chocolate Reeses cups. *drool* I really enjoyed psychology during my undergrad. I even went as far as applying to PhD programs, but had a change of heart! Thanks for stopping by :)
@Hillary
ReplyDeleteAh, Library Science and information Technology--I'm slightly jealous. Do you have tons of good plans for library programs? I bet! I just went crazy at my library book sale. Thanks for stopping by!
@Felicia the Geeky Blogger
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I don't know if you're a Harry Potter fan, but in the Goblet of Fire movie, Barty Crouch Jr./Mad Eye has this weird twitch where his tongue slides out the side of his mouth. We like to imitate it a lot haha
@Maestra Amanda
ReplyDeleteAwe, thank you so much! It is sad not being able to go to BEA, but meeting all of the lovely bloggers is a bonus!
@Suey
ReplyDeleteThanks! My friend randomly called me KaitorTot one day and at the moment I was looking for a new Twitter handle, so it was perfect. KaitorTot has stuck around ever since!
@Neri
ReplyDeleteGood luck with going to BEA next year! Also, thanks for the nice words :)
@Fiktshun
ReplyDeleteBEA would be lovely next year, but I won't be finishing up grad school until the end of next summer if all goes as planned. Soooo it doesn't look too good for me. I hope you get to go though!!
In my eyes, there really is no other chocolate besides dark chocolate!
Haha you're so right. Entertainment world=a zoo. It's a weird combination of things, but I would be 100% happy working in any of those fields!
Thanks for visiting :)
Love the pics...they really show your personality. I was an English Major now with a Master's in Library Science but I actually have worked as a social media specialist for a SPA/SALON and I really enjoyed it. I did it at home right after I had my son. It's a great career idea that is really taking off!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Stiletto Storytime! And have fun armchairin' it this week!
Courtney
Nice to "meet" you! I'm in West Virginia - not too far away from you! :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun this week!

Oooh, I minored in Journalism. It was tons of fun learning how to be a "real" reporter. Lots of work, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have found you via Armchair BEA!
I'm not new, but thought I would stop by anyway ;) I'm a Mt. Dew girl myself, so you can keep your Diet Coke...lol.
ReplyDeleteOh and I never heard of Dark chocolate is delicious. I'm addicted to the mini dark chocolate Reeses cups. *drool*
ReplyDeleteGreat... More chocolate to become addicted to!
@stilettostorytime
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you got to work for a spa/salon!
@Michelle
ReplyDeleteNot far away at all! Have a lovely week :)

@Fiktshun
ReplyDeleteThey are so addicting. I could eat a whole bag by myself!
Hey Kaitlyn! I enjoyed getting to check out your blog! I see you are a Diet Coke and peanut butter lover like me! Woo hoo! I also think your major sounds really interesting! I think you are planning for a fun/great job.
ReplyDeleteI would love to work for a zoo! I love them.
ReplyDeleteDropping by to say hi! We're already connected through Twitter and thank you so much for your wonderful answers to the interview questions that I sent. I look forward to posting the whole thing tomorrow. :)

@Chachic
ReplyDeleteNo, thank YOU for the wonderful questions!
When I was younger I wanted to work for a zoo. Good luck with your goals and dreams!

@Michelle @ The True Book Addict
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat chocolate, peanut butter and Diet Coke! I hope to speak with you again soon :)
@FICTION STATE OF MIND
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we have lots of chocolate and Diet Coke lovers here! Excellent :)
@The1stdaughter
ReplyDeleteMy zoo (Pittsburgh Zoo) actually has a huge social media presence. They have Facebook days at the zoo and all kinds of things. I would love to be a part of it!
Thank you so much for organizing ArmchairBEA--once again, it is fabulous!!
