About Me

I'm a giant nerd. I embrace my inner (and outer) geek with my interests in sci-fi/fantasy and theatre. Yes, I go to conventions, and yes, I wear costumes. Do you want a kilt? If you'll wear it, I'll make it. When I'm not being a geek, I'm an educator; I've just come back from 7 months teaching English in China and am looking for a full-time teaching gig for the next school year. I want to teach high school history. Or theatre. Or theatre history. What school is teaching theatre history?!

College Graduate

Illinois State University (graduated 2009), William Rainey Harper College, Florida State University

Filling out teaching applications until my eyes bleed and holding down a part-time job in the meantime.

Hunan province in China teaching EFL, Illinois Shakespeare Festival, various part-time jobs throughout school

Mom's side: My big fat Greek wedding.  Dad's side: Hippies and artists.  Big, well-connected family in general.

Teaching, knitting, sewing, being crafty, talking about education, being a realistically skeptical idealist, smarting off to my friends, China, travel, theatre, getting excited about historical periods and crazy-ass dictators.

Someone who is passionate about something that makes the world a better place.  Someone who has room in their life for Shakespeare.

Baseball (Cubs), football (Bears and FSU), hockey (Blackhawks) - I like to watch games (in person or on TV) when the opportunity arises, but I don't really follow the game seasons.

I drink socially.

I love Chinese, Greek, sushi, and pasta.  I need to eat healthier and I'd eventually like to cut out dairy if I can.

I don't do them and I'd prefer someone who doesn't, either.

I have an interest in fashion due to my costuming hobby, but I dress pretty casually most of the time.

It's important and I should be more committed to it.

Hygiene is important, but I'm not a clean-freak. I just spent 7 months in rural China - I'm not squeamish.

Don't have any, no plans to have any.  I prefer kids I can reason with, like high school age, rather than wee ones.  I have two nieces, and that's plenty for me.

They don't bother me and I don't have allergies.  I like cats, dogs and rats.

Social justice is more important than individual rights.  I'm pretty far left.

Semi-tolerant atheist.  Believe what you want, just don't get any on me.
