About me

Gender Female
Occupation English professor
Location Aurora, IL, United States
Introduction I live in Aurora, IL and teach at Joliet Jr. College. I'm a member of Trinity Episcopal Church. I'm married to a wonderful man named Paul and have two chihuahua mixes/mutts and two cockatiels.
Interests I'm a poet, professor, and now a vintage hat restorer! I love vintage clothes, kitchen ware, dishes, furniture...pretty much everything.
Favorite Movies All About Eve, When Harry Met Sally, Young Frankenstein
Favorite Music So much stuff, I can barely begin to tell you. Let's stick to some modern old-rock n' roll. Justin Townes Earle, Imelda May, Big Sandy and his Fly Rite Boys, Those Darlins, The Waery Boys, Neko Case. I'd marry Neko Case.
Favorite Books Again, way, way too many to list. I enjoy historical novels and I love poets like Amy Clampitt, Ted Deppe, Jeffery Harrison and Gray Jakobic. I love the fiction authors Margaret Atwood and Marge Piercy.

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

I don't go around tasting pennies. Are there adults who do this? Is it a fettish. The metal of the penny would remind you of the taste of iron in your blood, unless you are deficient in iron. Then I don't know what tastes like. What a silly question.
