I am a geek. I am a liberal. I am imperfect.

I am a teacher. Its all I've ever wanted to do. I am a mountain girl and always will be. I love horses and camping and fishing and don't get out to do any of that as often as I would like. I'm an avid reader and often reread books over and over and over again; if a book is really good you can find new things in it no matter how many times you read it.

Additionally I have a fetish for good music. This includes country music. I like country music a great deal; I also like opera, musicals, reggeton, some R&B, some classical, oldies - pretty much everything. I tend to be honestly put off by specific songs rather than entire genres. I think people disregard all of one kind of music out of hand because they: 1. don't want to be associated with the stigma or 2. had a bad experience with ONE song. There is a whole world of music out there just waiting to be listened to.

I am Pretentious Literati, Punny, and Too Talkative

As I mentioned I'm a teacher.

Other than work I spend virtually every free minute out with my friends. I have some amazing people in my life and they keep me busy! The most important person is my god daughter; she is a light.

Writing, conversation, I think I'm a good friend. I also have a disturbing gift for destroying technology, its been suggested that I have some sort of magnetic field.

I hope that it is the way my hair sparkles in the sunlight, brown with little flecks of red and gold.

Quotes:

Before you do something ask yourself, "would a puppet do this?"

I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. - Nicolas Sparks

Eat Drink and Be Merry, For Tomorrow We Die.

1 Corinthians 15:32

Dyslexics of the World Untie!

These Christian Family groups are so anti-Christian. They're without compassion, charity and kindness. I want Jesus to come back and say, "That's not what I meant."

- Margaret Cho

Love, My family, my cell phone, my friends, good food, good literature.

Philosophy, Faith, Politics....Lists are not all that interesting. Right now, I'm spending a lot of time thinking about the future.

Grading. However, on an ideal Friday night I'd go out to dinner with some friends and then either a movie or a trip to the theater. I am a Shakespeare junky and I'd see practically every new movie if I had the time and money.

If I could wake up tomorrow and be anything else I'd be English. If I couldn't do that then I think I should very much like to wake up Ingrid Bergman. She was divine.

You're looking for someone to hang out with or just want to make new friends and you have a job, transportation, and a plan.
