About Me

i have a lot of irrational fears. i'm smart but often pretend to be stupid. i'm also stupid but often pretend to be smart. i have fake ADD. i apparently don't smile very much at people. if i don't smile at you it is not because i don't like you as far as you know.

My Interests

MacArthur, Patton, but not so much Grant.

I'd like to meet:

The Highwaymen, especially the dead one. Also, inspirational retards.

Music:

i keep saying i don't like country music, but usually i follow that statement up with something like, "well, except for hank williams sr., and dolly parton and loretta lynn. Oh, and waylon jennings and dwight yoakam. Does Lyle Lovett count? And the highwaymen, but who doesn't like them? And Kris Kristofferson. And Johnny Cash. Also, my favorite song may be keep your hands to yourself by the Georgia Satellites, but that's kind of crossover, isn't it? I requested it when i went to see Buck Owens at his Crystal Palace in Bakersfield. But other than all of those people country music sucks and i hate it. Yuck. It's TERRIBLE." Then i go back to reading my book:

Movies:

1) movies about africa during world war I or world war II. 2) movies about water contamination lawsuits 3) movies about ireland, from its convents to its soul revival bands 4) the rest of the good ones and some of the bad ones.

Television:

please watch this show so we can talk about it. it is on on demand under "entertainment." I'm serious. i want to talk about his show with someone in addition to my grandfather:

Books:

red sky at morning, animal farm, jude the obscure, the chairs, the corrections, martha quest, primary colors, to kill a mockingbird, lolita, i Claudius, in cold blood, cat on a hot tin roof, long day's journey into night, henry V, the maids.but i also read these kinds of books from time to time. (for the most part) unironically:

Heroes:

is a really overrated TV show.

excuses

I teach about 40 students per quarter. Most of them miss at least one class and because I'm a bitch about attendance, most of them email me an excuse.  50% of these excuses are about some illness...
