Libby Street

Libby Street is the pseudonym for the writing team of Sarah Bushweller and Emily S. Morris. The two have been friends since 1981 when Sarah got tired of playing the role of football in her brothers’ game of catch, and Emily’s imaginary friend Nelly left for the great Atlantic crossing--never to be heard from again.

O The first day of school. Emily would like to explain three things about her hair:
1) It was the 80’s.
2) Her mom did the haircut.
3) Her mother is not a licensed cosmetologist.

O We’re not sure if our parents intended to dress us alike, or if this is just the first documented instance of our eerie similarity (and unfortunate tendency to wear the same outfit on the same day).

O Clockwise from left: Emily, Jennifer (Dorre) Bittle, Sarah, Jen’s brother Chris. We didn’t have toys--only sticks. And we walked twelve miles to school in the snow. In those jackets. We could be seen from space.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

Completely Useless Things You Don’t Know About Us

Emily is a total Sci-Fi geek.
- She’s read the entire original Dune series--twice. (She refuses to go near the new ones written by Frank Herbert’s son.) She has a favorite Star Fleet Captain (Janeway). She still wears a Han Solo button on her jean jacket. And, whatever you do, don’t get her started on Ents.

Emily is a Crafting Fool.
- She knits, does cross-stitch, sews, and makes jewelry from vintage beads. She is poised and ready for another season of “Wickedly Perfect,” and fervently believes she could beat Martha herself in a Craft-Off.

Before New York Emily lived in Oklahoma, Delaware, Alabama, Ohio, Hawaii, Alaska, Illinois, and California.
- She’s an Air Force Brat, and proud of it. And, incidentally, packs a mean suitcase.

Sarah hearts Jason
- Some people have suggested that Sarah has an unhealthy obsession with Jason Mraz, but she is confident that her obsession is indeed, quite healthy. What she doesn’t understand is why everyone isn’t crazy over his delicious rhythms and freestyling awesomeness. Click here to request Sarah’s Jason Mraz manifesto, or here to visit his website.

Sarah’s Superhero Worship
- Sarah wrote her senior thesis paper on the Superman comic books. She can name every type of kryptonite and how each one affects the Man of Steel. She is concerned with most people’s lack of awareness regarding the dangers of this lethal substance. “It’s all fun and games until someone loses their superpowers.”

Sarah is the youngest of 5 kids
- Sarah’s oldest sister used to have her make prank phone calls. The favorite was to call a stranger and say “Hello Nudist!” before hanging up and laughing for 10 minutes straight.

- Sarah’s second oldest sister coached her Odyssey of the Mind team the year they were the State Champs! They traveled together to Iowa for the World Championships, where they took a tour of a shovel factory.

- Sarah credits her twin brothers with her ability to noiselessly climb into a window past curfew. They also taught her how to throw a tight spiral. (She is always picked first when choosing teams for football.)
