Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I love a variety of music so I'll listen to just about anything. Some of my favorite bands include July Talk, Black Keys, Gaslight Anthem, Close Talker, Murder by Death and Diamond Mind. I'm happy with punk shows, house music, rap and opera too though; whatever hits my mood.
Movies: Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Mona Lisa Smile, Road to El Dorado, Pan's Labyrinth, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Avengers, and To Wong Foo thanks for the memories-Julie Newmar. Movies are great, basically.
Books: Anything written by Neil Gaiman, Tamora Pierce, Cassandra Clare, Suzanna Collins or Terry Pratchett I am bound to love. Some favorite books otherwise include 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' (El Beso de la Mujer Arana) by Manuel Puig, God of Small Things- Arundhati Roy, and the Harry Potter Series.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a Spanish and English teacher, so I can teach you a bit there. I'm also an artist so if you're willing to sit for a portrait I can draw you?
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm more than happy to cook you a meal or take you out for one, I'll draw you something, I'm good at cleaning up or doing dishes!
