Dude, don't be a dick!

About Me

I like Sunday afternoons, kick ass song lyrics, a great piece of advice, killer smiles, finding that one lost sock, big dopey dogs, and reading a book with a flashlight under the covers.In "real" life I am the editor for a publishing company and a part-time English instructor. In my "fun" life, I am a skater for the Fort Wayne Derby Girls, a non-profit organization and a flat-track all-women roller derby league that raises money for local charities.Since May 2006, the Fort Wayne Derby Girls have contributed over $25,000 to local Fort Wayne Charities including SCAN, Charis House, Great Lakes Burn Camp, Crossroad Children's Home, and the Sexual Assault Treatment Center.If you haven't heard of us, shame on you. Go check us out now at www.fwderbygirls.com or right here on myspace at www.myspace.com/fortwaynederbygirls.
