Badass Art Teacher

About Me

I'm an art teacher, which has totally consumed my entire life. I honestly spend most of my time thinking of cool stuff to do with my students. I'm an Oakland University grad with degrees in drawing and painting, and I'm trying to obtain my teaching certificate.I love to travel-Switzerland, France and Germany are the blowout trip we're planning for next summer. Okay, that was the blowout trip we were planning before i quit my shitty waitressing job in search of spiritual fulfillment, and before Lynn needed new wiring in her house.I still hope to travel someday-I want to see Paris, and I desperately want to go back to Florence and see David, fake David, the Uffizi museum and Brunelleschi's dome. And the Pitti Palace, which I missed. I also want to go back and see The sistine chapel, and the Borgheze gallery. Even if I have to sell drugs. Or my ass. I'm happiest laying at the beach and drinking beer, or just hanging out with my friends. I don't see them as much anymore, but they are wonderful, and I love them so much! My significant other is pretty wonderful too, and we're happiest just hanging out, doing shots and watching a movie. Or doin it.

My Interests

I love to travel, and my favorite thing in the world is being at the beach!

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Judy Chicago and Tracey Emin. If she were still alive, I think it would be pretty cool to party with Frida Kahlo. That woman was such a bigger partier than I could ever aspire to be. If she wasn't a cartoon, it would be pretty cool to meet Lisa Simpson. She's pretty badass for beinng 8.

Music:

I love the classics- Pink Floyd and Janis Joplin. Nirnvana Unplugged has been in my CD player for what, ten years? Love 311, Sublime, The Used, and The Postal Service.

Movies:

Joe Dirt,Without a Paddle are two of my faves... anything old by Adam Sandler (except Punch Drunk Love...what the hell was that???) Horror Movies always make me happy, but the old ones are better-more about being scary than just gross.

Television:

I'm a news dork- I watch alot of Fox News and C-Span. I have to watch Simpsons reruns before bed!

Books:

The Color Purple by Alice Walker is the best book I ever read. Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye is fantastic, so is The Secret Life of Bees. The Birth of Venus and In the Company of the Courtesan by Sarah Dunant are great so is Middlesex.

Heroes:

Lisa Simpson! Someday she'll cure cancer, and the fuel shortage. She'll probably have a hit blues record too.
