About Me

moon child, freckled floridian, proud southerner, smokin redhead, closet hippie, working stiff, poorly paid professional educator, loving daughter, sister, aunt, in search of calm, contentment and clarity.

My Interests

LOVE: teaching, travelling, road trips, open-air events like music festivals, art shows, flea markets and carnivals, putting on a hat from time to time with close friends, billiards, live music, sunny days, little dogs, devoted friends, stealing music from the internet, cesear salads and bloody maries, southern accents, cuddling and spell check.HATE: inconsiderate people, like those fuckers who don't say thank you when you hold the door for them, being judged, being raped by my cell phone company, taking out the garbage, balancing my check book, the religious right, getting over failed relationships, hangovers, money (because i ain't got none) the ultra-hip, allergy season, telemarketers, and being shooshed.
