REVOLUTION OF 1

About Me

..I love learning, sharing what I know, traveling, spending time with my huuusband, taking pictures, reading, going to the library, walking around people gawking, my parents, seeing great bands, hanging out with my awesome nephews, connecting with old friends, and building things.I like singing commercial jingles with Steve, I like orange tic tacs, ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, talking with people about their lives, being in places where people are really different from myself, making up my own songs for Steve, writing quick messages to old friends, old photos, eating chili in bed, reading old postcards abandoned in antique malls, cleaning, cutting grass in the summer when it is really hot out, trying to figure out how to do math, learning new vocabulary despite being unable to spell.I love our new house and being a wife. I want to have kids. I love working at Aurora Alternative High School in Bloomington, even if it is only for a short time. The students are awesome, the adults act like professionals and teachers are encouraged to teach what they are passionate about. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
