ABOUT ME

I Like: languages, teeth right after you brush them, German gummi bears, public transportation, Christmas Coke Commercials and Hairdryer smell.
I Don't Like: spiders, hangnails, waking up with a sore neck and drool on your pillow and bad endings

I was a teacher for two years in Japan, and I love kids. I am doing a Master's in Counselling now, and am planning on working with disadvantaged youth. But for now I'm just riding the wave.
