Oh, the pressure... Well, I'm originally from Illinois & I moved up here about five years ago. I live in the middle of nowhere with my best friend and a few chickens. I love the country life, but the Iron Range is a tough place to meet guys.

I'm a teacher and love what I do. When I'm not at work, I like to hike and get lost in the woods, see live bands, attempt to paint, read, hang out with friends, etc.

Teaching, directing the school play, co-directing prom, waiting for spring so I can go hike around.

Cooking. I love to cook & make new dishes.

I hope that I'm good at teaching, seeing as I've dedicated my life to it...but I'm still learning.

My smile.

I love any book by Chuck Palahniuk, Kurt Vonnegut or Scott Westerfield.

I'm really into zombie movies! The scarier the movie the better, though I like someone's hand to hold.

I'm really into classic rock & country, though I love to listen to new things.

1. God
2. My family/friends
3. Teaching
4. Blackberries (the fruit, not phone)
5. Changing of the seasons
6. Dogs

My school, how stupid the government is for not giving appropriate funding to schools, students & what I can do to help them, my family in Illinois, how I long for deep dish pizza, when will it be spring, etc.

Either out trying to find a good live band to watch, or at home with my roommate/best friend doing something stupid and is probably only funny to us.

I do many things in/on my bed that I shouldn't...paint, grade & fall asleep with the papers (no kids...that's just a water spot...not my drool...haha). I should really invest in a chair for my room.

You're curious & want to know more.
