CURRENT MISSION

To catalog what each culture smells like. I'm to understand we Americans are "red meat."

ABOUT ME

I absorb anything new and unique. I want to learn and ask questions. Aside from that, I believe I could subsist on turkey sandwiches and diet cola if necessary. Zombies tend to fascinate me as of late, and I write and re-write a lot of stuff I never show anyone though someday I might forge the bravery necessary to share. I criticize people because I understand them and I know they can do better.

PHILOSOPHY

I hope each day I get closer to perfection without ever reaching it because I'd never want to stop improving.

兴趣

Films (both pop and artistic), current events, comedy, sarcasm/irony, video games, beer, trivia, sports (but sorry, World - not soccer), new people, breakfast cereals with cartoons on the front, comfortable chairs (or couches), old things.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I taught an 11 year-old to successfully use a semi-colon as part of her writing. This is as metaphorically close to climbing the summit of a mountain as I've ever come.

教，学，和分享

If you come to Maryland, I can show you how to efficiently shell and eat a steamed blue crab. I am ridiculously well-rounded in American pop culture and I'm an English teacher, so I suppose I can teach English writing and reading.
