About Me

Born and bred in glamourous Akron, Ohio. I graduated from University of Akron with a BA in history with a French minor (please don't attempt to write in French because it's all been replaced by reruns of Charles in Charge). I work as an office manager at a living history museum. Things I did not know I would have to do when I took an office job at a living history museum: herd sheep and pigs, operate a cider press, run through the woods screaming "They're after us!" as a PBS cameraman named Milan chased after me. Currently working on getting my Masters in Library and Information Science. After which I rely on divine intervention and/or well placed flattery to land a job with a high enough pay to keep me in the lifestyle my imagination has become accustomed to.In my imagination, I am also a top of the line chef, master chess player, and world class traveller. In reality, I am a top of the line channel changer, master microwave popcorn maker, and world class procrastinator. Get your own free cool template at trickmyspacesite.com

My Interests

Reading, hiking in the national park, visiting odd museums or galleries (TV Dinner Club Museum in Akron!), spending money I don't have at local theaters, trying to cook, talking, making fun of people who watch really bad tv, watching really bad tv, making fun of myself.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who happens to stumble upon my humble profile in the information monster that is MySpace. But before you send a message...no, I don't want to listen to your deathrock band, I'm not looking to add bling to my space, and, as of this moment, I'm not on the look out for a Russian mail order bride. Thanks anyhow. What obsolete skill are you?
You are 'Latin'. Even among obsolete skills, the tongue of the ancient Romans is a real anachronism. With its profusion of different cases and conjugations, Latin is more than a language; it is a whole different way of thinking about things.You are very classy, meaning that you value the classics. You value old things, good things which have stood the test of time. You value things which have been proven worthy and valuable, even if no one else these days sees them that way. Your life is touched by a certain 'pietas', or piety; perhaps you are even a Stoic. Nonetheless, you have a certain fascination with the grotesque and the profane. Also, the modern world rejects you like a bad transplant. Your problem is that Latin has been obsolete for a long time.
