About Me

A few things about me:1) Yes, I'm an English teacher but, no, you should not be watching your grammar. There are exceptions, for sure, but here's the point: being a reader just means I'm drawn to narrative and art, metaphor and meaning, subtlety and resonance. The grand uniqueness of human experience, shared, always! As a rule, apostrophes come second.1.5) I'm INTJ, pretty extremely. But I do have feelings, honest.2) I may be small, but I'm brave. I've given birth in my living room, underwater, without drugs. There's not much I can't do. And would you please remind me of that when I have ***English 12 essays to mark?2.5) Seriously hate guns. Ironically, I'm an excellent shot because Dad was a police officer and taught me how to use them.3) I would rather read a ***page book on the history of salt than look at pictures of muscly men flexing to their phones in the bathroom, on their cars, at the gym, or... pretty much anywhere. Men in adorable hats with sweet smiles, eating trail mix, on the other hand, and, well--I try not to stare.3.5) my #1 celebrity crush is... Jian Ghomeshi.***hole.4) If you tell me delightful and clever stories about taking your kid to the museum to view native masks, wooly mammoths, and animal photography, I will have a hard time forgetting you. I may even stay up late, imagining witty replies, then fail to respond because I think you're too wonderful.5) When friends try to impersonate me, they look over the tops of their glasses. Not sure if that's a librarian joke or a short joke, though I'm pretty sure I actually do it. I'd like to think it's sexy :) 5.5) I have just one dimple, but it is borderline aggressive as far as dimples go, I know. 6) I'm a classic introvert who is well-practiced at acting extrovert-ish, out of necessity. I'm a teacher, right? I'm fairly confident, but find large social groups super draining. Absolutely love one-on-one though. I do require solitude to recharge. Yes, I still enjoy live music but more often at smallish venues or outdoors where I can escape, if need be.6.5) Some transparency... I love the outdoors, camping, hiking, but if you want to do winter sports that involve something more complicated than walking with big shoes on, you'll have to teach me. Sorry. But I would love to learn! And falling down can be cute, in its own way, and don't you love being an expert?7) I've been called esoteric, but the truth is that I've been on too much of a soul journey to not care deeply about things existential. What are we made of? What are we after? What matters? Why don't we have it? What comes after? How do we know anything at all? Along those lines, I treasure ambiguity and shades of grey because they seem more honest. Certainty? A bit of an illusion, right? Truth is the thing I invented so I could live, said someone I love. Also, I have a messy relationship with religion, but am still drawn to the questions, the practices, the mystery... 8) Reading is huge--fiction, non-fiction, newspapers, magazines, graphic novels. I love poetry--reading it, hearing it, writing it, sharing it. You don't have to love it as much, but if the last thing you read was Lord of the Flies for English 11, we might have trouble. 9) In truth, I'm more connected to American politics than Canadian***Perhaps because I live inside my head a lot, I require someone who can make me laugh...we'll get along. And I do have a silly side--it's in there somewhere near my sense of adventure, which is alive, but underfed in recent years.***I appreciate sarcasm a little too much--love satire, parody, The Onion, SNL... but pretentious, self-important people make me itch. We are all people, fundamentally more alike than different. None of us really gets it, right? But there's always someone who gets it even less... ***I love my job. Seriously, I do. And I try to be good at it, and I invest a lot of myself there. This means there will be periods when I don't have tons of free time. But there will also be vacations, 12 weeks of them! And when the end of the day comes, I'll want to enjoy the people I love. Really enjoy them. And that's what I'm missing--a reason to endure all the hard stuff. Want that.***The big exclamation at the end is that I love my kids, and I want the best for them. The very best. I dont mean money. I want them to, eventually, see their mother in a beautiful relationship, to know what she's like when she's in love and has plenty of passion in her life. I want it for me and I want it for them.And... I've said too much. But if that didn't scare you, then say hello.Postscript is that my kids do have a wonderful father in their lives who makes them animal pancakes and tends to their Lego education. Also, he and I get along well (strange, but true). First meet up? Simple.First date? More fun.

    I am a hardworking Independant woman looking for a partner in crime. My pictures have been taken within the last 2 weeks and will add a new one every week to ensure they are current. I like to fish, hike, paint, play disc golf and driving fast in my truck with my tunes cranked. I am easy going and fun...not the bubbly kind of fun but the immature waterfight kind of fun. Those who know me, love me. Do not reply if you aren't sincere and genuine. I have no time for fake people or liars. Do not reply if you drive slow, are narrow minded or are a whiner. Man I sound like a ****! I'm really nice and caring and passionate, I swear..LOL. I am actually a Virgo but I can't change it for some reason. Go for a walk or a game of pool to see if there is chemistry.

    First and foremost, I am a proud mom of 3. I am a student and will be in the health care field. I love being spontaneous and love to laugh! I am an open-minded, strong woman with good morals and values, but like to let my hair down every now and then. My music tastes vary from old school hip hop, to all 80's, to reggae, all the way to country.
