I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

These are just a smidgen of my photography (Except Emma and Colin's photo). Hope you enjoy!Ah yes...Where to begin? Well, for starters, I am a Christian and I couldn't be happier. I live and work as a missionary at LaVerne Griffin Youth Recreation Camp in Alaska. This will be my second year here at the camp and every day is a joy. I am also currently pursuing an M.A. in English Literature at the University of Alaska in Anchorage. I love Jane Austen and the Victorians (Dickens, especially) and I readily admit that I would rather stay home and read or watch a musical than be sociable in any way. I love to write and I'm currently working on my first children's novel and screenplay. My dream is to teach children's lit and write in England, but I'm open to almost anything at the moment. I studied voice and literature in different areas of the UK and have absolutely fallen in love with the people and history. I'll never know why we Americans left in the first place.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Perhaps the three most influential people as far as my passion for the theatre and literature have been Dame Julie Edwards Andrews, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. I credit my love for literature and the theatre to them all. I have also greatly admired Juliet Stevenson, Liam Neeson, Natasha Richardson and Dame Judy Dench, all of whom have greatly persuaded my passions. I would also love to meet William Petersen. He is an incredible performer and every character he has played is amazing. Gil Grissom should be president...I would also love to meet God, for obvious reasons. I can't wait to find out why the sky is blue. The Monty Python gang would also be quite an interesting lot to have over for supper. And for dessert...Carol Burnett. I'd love to reenact the "tea party" skit that she and Julie Andrews did together. Classic.

Pleasure Reading? Sounds familiar, but I don't remember...

Well, I suppose it's official. I used to love reading. Now I've forgotten what that particular experience is like. Reading has been replaced by analysis. Probing. Delving. Do I really need theory&nbs...

Natural Beauty Versus False Entertainment

A new dilemma has developed since I have moved to Alaska. Working at the camp, I usually have about four hours of free time in the evenings. Two choices plague me: Either go out on the lake and f...

Stoppard's "Arcadia"

I just read this incredible play and am anxious to see it performed. I was blown away by the scope of its references and am still shaking my head in unbelief. What i would give to have seen the origi...
