About Me

this is old but I am far to tired to change it. Aside from being funny and smart, I'm also really pretty. I like to read the New York Times on sunday mornings with a cup of coffee while I smoke cigarettes. I like to separate all of the sections first so I can read them in order of most interesting. I like crossword puzzles and creative people.
I wore broken glasses for well over three months and it bothed everyone except me. Now my glasses are green.
I like red wine and sarcasm and making people laugh. I have no tollerance for dumb people. I'm very short. Too short, 5'1" short. I have red hair that I only dyed once, to blue, when I was in eighth grade. I have a sugar glider named Elvis and I can't spell at all.
I do not now, nor do I ever plan on, wearing matching outfits with my friends. I used to go to art school and don't know people with three names i.e. Wellington Benington Namington.
I used to teach on Rikers Island at the women's prison for juveniles. Inmates are some of my favorite people. Now I am a tutor and substitute teacher. I work really hard and an broke. I guess I'm a grown up now. Yipee.
And I want nothing to do with any version of anyone's MySpace Editor
