About Me

ProfileMix.com - Free MySpace Glitter Graphics Hi! Here's a few facts and fancies all about me... My name is Carol and I'm a 45 year old single Canadian currently living with my papillon beneath a lone-star sky on the Gulf Coast. I'm a high school teacher and this year it's all about sophomore English. Yeah, that's right...Julius Caesar and To Kill a Mockingbird---it's all happening right here in the deep deep south. And grammar, you ask? Well ya'll, somebody's gotta teach it!I've been living here in Texas for the past 5 years and indeed, now and then the "Owl of Minerva flies in the twilight..." I love what I do and I love where I am, but on those nights when the "Owl" flies by my window, I'm completely immersed in the fade-ins and fade-outs of memory.

My Interests

I'm a bit of a news junkie--I like to know what's happening on this great stage of players. I'm also a weekend gardener--indeed, it's a jungle out there! I love travel and learning about cultural diversities---all those blends of colors and creeds that make up the fragility of our humanity.

MySpace Avatars

I'd like to meet:

MySpace Avatars
I used to think I'd like to meet Prince Charming, but I've heard he's got a crazy foot fetish and he's currently in long-term therapy for obsessive/compulsive behavior. So now I'm thinking I'd love to meet someone with a passion for intellect, a terrific sense of humor, and eyes that smile.

Music:

In my "spare" time (haha--an English teacher with spare time?) I teach piano lessons and try to offer my students a wide array of genres from classical to whatever is at the top of their current hit list. I listen to everything--Mahler's, "Symphony in D Minor," gregorian chant, jazz, zydeco, rock,.....and on and on and on.....

Movies:

Television:

I love watching "Everybody Loves Raymond" re-runs. And after a long day, "Sex and the City" is good for some sense of escape. Don't call between 7 and 8 on Tuesday evening---I'll be deeply engrossed in "House."

Books:

MySpace Avatars
Mauve Desert, The English Patient, The Old Arcadia, Such is My Beloved, anything by Margaret Atwood...

Heroes:

My daughter for her inner-strength despite the curve-balls life hurls, My mother for her quiet sense of self and selflessness, Corrie ten Boom for her faith and diligence, Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry, Anna Akmahtova
