About Me


I read, I write, I work out, I spend time with my pets. I do all things Liberal. That's pretty much it.

Some of you who don't know me from my "former" life don't know I started college as a choreography major. Trust me, you're glad I'm a writer/English professor. One of my college dance major friends just sent this to me, and it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus--just kidding. Always thought it would be funny to say that :-)

What Famous Leader Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.com
Seriously, Marilyn Monroe, then a bunch of writers--Sherman Alexie, Lorrie Moore (how cheesy is it to name living people?) Then as far as dead (maybe they send all writers to the same place, and this will actually happen--I say "they" because it's "them" the aliens, who get to decide) Milton, Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, the Bronte sisters (heck, we'll even let Branwell, their brother, come along, too!), Jane Austen and her *wicked* sense of humor, Bram Stoker, J. S. LeFanu...Okay, I'm getting carried away--we'll just say most of the British Romantics (Keats, oh, Keats!), the Victorians, and all of the Pre-Raphaelite artists, and Rod Serling, creator of the Twilight Zone... That's probably enough.
