In posting the Tifa shot, she had unwittingly sent up a smoke signal to a kindred spirit: "I wanted to show that I was actually a real-live nerd," said Ms. Nastasi, who is the associate manager of book conservation at the Thomas J. Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Ms Nastasi, by contrast, was not sure what she wanted her professional life to look like, but she knew it would have to satisfy her appetite for frequent and meaningful change. "I like to try new things and I like to go big," she said. That explains her shift from AmeriCorps to her stint as an event manger for Saucy by Nature, a catering company in Brooklyn, and eventually to the Thomas J. Watson Library. There she acts as a sort of air traffic controller for rare and damaged books, ensuring they are properly tagged an labeled after being repaired and recirculated.
COMMENT
This librarian's OKCupid profile had a photo of her in the costume of an obscure anime character. When a man complimented her cosplay and not the sexiness of her costume, reader, she married him.
The librarian's occupation is interesting enough to that the writer that it is described twice in the profile. It is taken as representing her commitment to social justice, her appetite for meaningful change and her cultural involvement -- in short, evidence of her desirability as a partner for a smart, nerdy man.
"Fandom," incidentally has been identified as a trend by the Center for the Future of Libraries.
