About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make myself useful

ABOUT ME

I'm an English teacher with a passion for all things geeky. I love movies, books and video games, and when I'm not doing those things, or working out the best way to hammer grammar into young minds, I tend to find myself cooking. I take pride in my curry. People come from all across the world to eat it! Or... at least always ask me to make it for them if I happen to be around.

PHILOSOPHY

Being interesting is as simple as being interested.

Interests

Everything. Including that thing you just thought of. And that one. And that. And that...

  • cats
  • books
  • cooking
  • working out
  • movies
  • video games
  • teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies. Even the bad ones. As for books, I tend towards Sci-Fi and fantasy, but Count of Monte Cristo is my favourite. I'm also into anime.
But, my greatest passion is video games. Recommendation: Ico, or Shadows of the Colossus.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught my cat to 'Sit', 'Lie down' and 'Speak' on command.

Oh,and this year I kept a 4 year old distracted from a M9 earthquake by teaching him the colour orange. But the cat thing is still what I'm most proud of.
