- Most of the time I think this is fun. Other times it's more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN_F0Gqe0_o
- I like puns and "dad jokes".
- I have a very poor filter.
- I love being outside and marathoning TV shows on netflix.
- I usually order whiskey.
- I served with Americorps in Houston, TX for a year (teaching such random subjects as robotics and forensic science to middle schoolers) and still volunteer weekly.
- I'm equally as sassy as I am kind.
- I'm a big fan of beards.
- I'm pro-Oxford comma, since that seems to be a thing here and I'm an ENFP since that also seems to be a thing here.
- I listen to a lot of the Fleetwood Mac pandora station.
- If I could, I'd walk everywhere.
- I love airports and road trips-- I've been to 35 US states and plan to take on all 50 in the next few years.

I'm a teacher at a school for kids on the autism spectrum. My days involve a lot of high fives and dance parties and Space Jam clips on youtube. My job requirements also include taking an occasional punch and saying things like "Identify your butt" & "Identify your penis" with a straight face. Sometimes, I do more serious stuff like teach kids art and music and how to distinguish emotions and communicate with their parents. I feel very lucky to have so much love for what I do.

And also, we have a BALL PIT!

I recently drove 950 miles in 3 days because I felt like seeing new things and breathing fresh air.

untying knots
easing tension through humor
playing catch
changing song lyrics

... I'd like to think it's that I'm enjoying myself.

I don't know about Friday nights, but lately my weekends have consisted of a lot of walking around and exploring Park Slope, Prospect Park, Red Hook, Greenpoint/Williamsburg (where most of my best friends live) and various bridges around the city. Also, baseball games. I've been to Citi Field twice in the past month.
