About Me

My new life motto: "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." -Unknown. If those aren't words to live by, I don't know what are. Anyway, I'm pretty sarcastic, wait...make that extremely sarcastic; it's humor for sophisticated people. Not that I'm very sophisticated; in fact now that I think about it, sophisticated people don't sing karaoke with drunk people or put lobster boxers on their head for the sake of entertainment...but I digress. I love to eat...all the time, almost anything, but especially Mexican food, pizza, and desserts. I'm pretty straightforward; I like to say what I think. I hate having regrets. I like fun and I don't take anything too seriously. I love to dance! I do it by myself, with friends, for real (I'm taking ballet again and also hip-hop, ha!) and for fun (like while driving or cleaning). I'm a history teacher and history rules. I can't cut straight to save my life. Words I say a lot: sweet, bizarre, bogus. I always sing my favorite songs in the car (and elsewhere), very loud, whether I'm alone or not. I'm a convert to the LDS church and it's brought me so much happiness, it's the greatest thing in my life. I l-o-v-e shoes, for real. My obsession is 40's/50's styles and vintage stuff in general. I love, love the beach and intend to live in the San Diego area one day after I get rich off my teacher's salary (ha). The only laws I break are traffic related and I do that on a daily basis, whether I'm late or not...though I'm usually late (driving slow is lame anyway). I enjoy making fun of my friends, and of course, getting beat up by them. I pride myself in being quite random. I love music, learning, and laughing. The end. ♥

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Charles Barkley, my hero: not only did he help take my Suns to the finals (long live '93, the happiest time of my life...at least until the end of Game 6), he's seriously one of the funniest people alive.Who else...um, cool people? Maybe just people I already know, but then again, that's not really "meeting" anyone...who wrote this category anyway? P.S. If you are one of my students: you're awesome and great and I love(d) teaching you. Send me a message if you want to let me know you found me despite my best efforts to be vague and obscure....unfortunately in our litigation-obsessed society filled with assumption and misunderstanding, I just can't accept your friend request. It's sad because imagine how popular I would look with like 300 friends.

My Blog

Damn you, $253 jeans (11/13/07)

So...I'm often critical of people's blogs (ok, I'm often critical of a lot of things) because I think they are lame, pointless, boring, etc. Sometimes it's like, who the hell cares about the play-by-p...

Um, yeah (10/6/07)

I have a lot to say and yet no patience to actually figure out how to appropriately say it, which is probably good since it's almost 3am and I'm not sure anyone makes that much sense at that hour, let...

A few of my favorite things- finally (9/20/07)

This has been quite some time in the making...I constantly think of things I want to write about but never take the time to actually do it (though I'm going to try very soon to change that). However, ...

Just a quick thought (2/21/07)

I want to publically profess my sincere appreciation for the totally awesome thunderstorm that happens in the produce section of the grocery store several times a day. This is pretty much one of the c...

Better late than never: Halloween pics (11/9/06)

As I previously mentioned, I love Halloween, mostly because I love dressing up and Halloween Oreos (which I am still enjoying; I eat a couple each day when I get home). I found a pretty cool Spanish D...

Pet Peeve (10/3/06)

Like anyone, I have pet peeves, little things that bother me that I can call my very own. I've always thought it's funny how certain things can be very bothersome to some people and not at all to othe...
