I'm 37. I act 17. I am a teacher 100% of the time. I teach HS
Business during the day. I teach English in the alternative HS in
the afternoons/eves. My life consists of two things - bluegrass and
teaching. My greatest loves are Chris, Billy, and my guitar and
bass. I am a bluegrass musician. I play upright bass and guitar.
And I sing. I love the outdoors. I love kayaking, canoeing,
camping, and hiking. I love running but can't anymore due to
herniated discs. I love computers. I love designing webpages. I
love to travel. I spend most of my summer on the road. I go to
about 8 bluegrass festivals a year. I tend to be obsessive. But I'm
not compulsive. I have an addictive personality. My current
addictions: bluegrass, teaching, red wine, chocolate. During the
school year you can probably add Billy and 24 to the list. I hate
tv. The only show I watch is 24. I love Animal Planet. I love
flying Jet Blue so I can watch Animal Planet. I love my house. I've
recently been into "colors" in my house. My computer room is
purple. My music room is a soothing light green. I'm starting to
become a homebody. Lately I prefer to be alone. Billy is the best
friend I've ever had. I'm learning for the first time how to have
successful relationships. Unfortunately, not with my husband. My
marriage is a mess. My life is perfect... except for my marriage.
At least I've learned to detach. Detachment is a blessing. I'm
emotionally healthy for the first time in my life. I'm still in
love with my ex.... fling. Recently I've been blessed to have Chris
back in my life. I'm scared to death of losing him again. I seem to
always lose the people I love. It's usually my fault. I am an
eternal optimist. I always wear my rose-colored glasses. The glass
is always half full. Things ALWAYS happen for a reason. Things
ALWAYS work out for the best in the end. I don't believe in
regrets. I believe everything you've done leads up to where you are
today... so even if you made mistakes, as long as you are happy
with where you are now, you should have no regrets. I'm basically a
happy person. Detachment is great but recently I've concluded that
just because I CAN live this way doesn't mean I HAVE to. I have
some serious decisions to make. I aspire to be assistant director
of the alternative HS. I aspire to be like Billy. I admire Billy
more than anyone except maybe my grandpa. I believe in God. I trust
in God. I'm not religious. But I AM spiritual. I love singing
bluegrass gospel songs. I love to sing. I never remember movies
unless I've seen them at least 5 times. I love Marilyn Monroe. I
love Brittany Murphy. I have a crush on a sub at my school. Her
name is Jessica. I'm bi. I don't have too many people I consider
friends. I've become more discriminate as I get older. I have tons
of acquaintances. I've learned to keep my business private except
with my "friends." And they're no longer privy to everything
either. I love to write. Songs. Poetry. Short stories. My novel is
unfinished. I'm very protective of the people I love. I'm very
protective of my students. I don't plan on having kids. My students
ARE "my kids." I become a "mommy" to many of them. They never let
me go even after they graduate. I love that. I like teenagers way
better than adults. The adults I seem to get along with best are
LAP teachers, class advisors, and special ed teachers. They are the
ones who seem to like kids the most. We can relate. I'm always
exhausted. I'm a workaholic. I wouldn't change that for the world.
My job isn't a job - it's a calling. I'm a very passionate person
about the things I love. I love life.
I am passionate, obsessive, and intelligent
