You Are Dr. Pepper
You're very unique and funky, yet you still have a bit of traditionalism to you.
People who like you think they have great taste... and they usually do.
Your best soda match: Root Beer
Stay away from: 7 Up What Kind of Soda Are You?I'm just an average guy. I suppose I'm a little bit of a workaholic. I'm completely sarcastic--almost to the point of mean sometimes. I have a B.S. degree in English (and no, the irony in that is not lost on me) and my Masters in Secondary Administration. Yes, that means I'm in the lucrative world of education. I'm back teaching at home. For those of you that went to CHS, you might refer to me as Glory Fagan because yes, sadly, I replaced her. (I heard that collective cringe and it doesn't make me smile.) It's not like she died, people; she's the librarian now. Oh, and don't think to yourself, "Man, poor pathetic Derek couldn't get a job anywhere else." That's not the case. I intentionally came home to teach. If you'll recall (and knew me long ago), I always said that's what I was going to do. I had a job in Shawnee Mission and then in Lathrop before deciding I really did just want to come home, so I bought myself a house here in town and settled in for the long haul. We have great kids here (most days) and I really do care about the future of Cameron schools. For once, that was not sarcasm. I guess if there's anything else you want to know you can ask...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Ummm...I dunno. I'm not really that into the celebrity thing. It reminds me of a popularity contest from high school only on a global scale. There are people that I wouldn't mind hanging out with, but for the most part I already hang out with them.


You're The Poisonwood Bible!
by Barbara Kingsolver
Deeply rooted in a religious background, you have since become both isolated and schizophrenic. You were naively sure that your actions would help people, but of course they were resistant to your message and ultimately disaster ensued. Since you can see so many sides of the same issue, you are both wise beyond your years and tied to worthless perspectives. If you were a type of waffle, it would be Belgian.
