I am a geek. I am a
liberal. I am imperfect.
I just started my first teaching job. 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.
As I mentioned I just started my first full time job teaching. I'll
be teaching math at a middle school. I'm also working on my MA (so
close I can taste it.)
Other than school and 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

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.
