Reading. Writing. Thinking. Kittens. NPR. Making stuff with my hands. Feeding my brain. Hanging with friends.
I love thunderstorms and fog.

Movies
I don't watch as many movies as I should. I'm partial to drama. "Dead Poet's Society" still makes me cry. "Stand By Me" might be my favorite movie. I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Television
24 -- the Jack Bauer Power Hour. Prison Break. House. Medium. Lost. Daily Show. Simpsons. The History Channel. The Discovery Channel. The Learning Channel. Good stuff like that.
Books
How to even broach this question? Love Vonnegut. Love Salinger. Love Morrison, Wells, Fitzgerald, Solzhenitsyn, Dostoevski, Tolstoy, Kafka, Hurston, O'Brien, etc., etc., etc.
About me: I am a high school English and speech teacher, and speech coach. I am a writer of creative nonfiction. I am an NPR junkie. I am drastically cool, but no one seems to have noticed. Or rather, very few seem to have noticed.
Who I'd like to meet: Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., for more than a few minutes. New friends who like NPR and reading books and talking about intelligent and utterly stupid things. People who want to talk about writing. An intelligent, gentlemanly man who wants to date an NPR junkie who writes a lot and reads books. And always has a lot of papers to grade.
I do NOT want to meet someone who wants to fuck me before knowing me. I don't do casual sex. I don't go out with people without having a sense of who they are. I move slowly in dating. I'm worth getting to know. If you don't want to know me, please don't waste my time. Don't make an ass of yourself. Just move on.
