I'm perpetually 5-10 minutes late, but reliable to follow through on things I say or at least give advance warning of changes. I'm a dork through-and-through: a fantasy novel has been in my hand since the moment I learned how to read, I eagerly await the latest Stargate episode and Star Trek movie, I sit around a table and roll dice in roleplaying games with my friends, and I'm easily addicted to new PS3 games. I profess to be agnostic, though I'm intrigued and reading up on Buddhism. I attempt to be green and have made great steps, but I'm not 100% where I want to be with it.

I teach 5th grade, and find it extremely fulfilling. I love my students, who I spend more time with than my friends or family during the year I have them. I also work as a music director at a Congregational UCC church. My choir (and the church in general) are some of the most awesome, politically active, environmentally aware, open and affirming people I have ever met. They make me look past my disbelief of the religion, and really demonstrate what being a "Christian" should look like.

singing, board games, brain teasers, teaching, making fun of things, bitching

I guess this depends on where they meet me.

Music: I have very eclectic tastes. I like interesting music, better if it's funny/witty, but have a strong taste for dance. I'll listen to almost anything vocal, although I don't particularly like rap, metal, or country. Some favorite artists are Imogen Heap, Mika, SJ Tucker, Cher, Alanis Morissette, ABBA, and many, many more.

Food: I'm picky, I admit it. I hate seafood, onions, pepper, fungus, things that are spicey, and a whole host of other things. I can almost always find something on a restaurant menu I'll eat though, unless it's Indian. I can't even walk through the doors because of the smell.

sleep, pasta, books, laptop, cellphone, coffee

my students, music, my cats

hanging out with friends, watching Sci-Fi friday, playing PS3

One of my cats (the gay one) watches me when I get out of the shower. I let him. (He can look, but he can't touch.)
