I'm a middle school Mathematics teacher in a Baltimore City public school. Before that, I was a waiter for about 5 months, and before that I was a union political organizer, and before that, I was a grad student teaching assistant at UW-Madison for a year. I enjoy reading pretty much anything. I also enjoy watching Family Guy, Project Runway, Top Chef, anime, and various DVDs. In addition, I like to do crossword puzzles and work on my computer. And sometimes I hang out with friends, though not as often as I'd like to because I work too damn hard.

Teaching mathematics to urban youth and attempting to have a social life on the side.

Well, I like to think that I'm good at math and at teaching, considering that's what I do with my life. I'm also handy with computer and other technology troubleshooting. I am a very logical thinker and planner.

I do have very nice blue eyes and a cute face. I'm a little on the hefty side, and being a teacher hasn't helped because I've had no time to do anything about it. However, with the help (OK, intervention) of my friends, I am trying to have a more stylish wardrobe.

What I need to do for work the next day. How to make Math interesting to middle schoolers. The fact that I've never really had a love/dating life to speak of.

Maybe at a bar celebrating the weekend, maybe hanging out at a friend's house, possibly at the theatre watching a play, probably writing lesson plans that were due at 5:00, but most likely just doing nothing important on the computer or watching TV.

Well, let's just be upfront and put it out there. I've never slept with a guy. Be gentle :)

...you're serious about going on a date/meeting up with me, and you are a guy in the age range of 22-35 and in the Baltimore area.
