About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Introduction I spend an endless amount of time stressing over the literary *lives* of fictional characters; my students' academic future; and most importantly my family/friends. In short, I'm a professional worry wart extraordinaire. Oh, and I like fretting, venting, and musing about all the potentially irrevocable damage I may be inflicting on my poor unsuspecing child who was cursed with an anti-Martha Stewart like me for a mum. I like doing this a rather lot. *sigh* It's just a race against the clock before she publishes a tell-all book that makes Joan Crawford and Bette Davis seem like la Nanny Poppins in comparison.
Interests (See About Me section for additional details). Writing, reading, teaching and praying that I'm not royally screwing this neat motherhod gig up. I'm also a wee bit blogger phobic since I've seen waaaaay too many Lifetime specials and quite frankly ax-murderers happen to nice people like me. :)
Favorite Movies The Three Faces of Eve, Memento, Run Lola Run, Emma, Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn version) Sense & Sensibility, Amelie, Mansfield Park, Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon, Becoming Jane, House of Flying Daggers, Annie Hall, Enchanted, all the Potter films

Who I'd Like to Meet: My daughter and my former students once they have become parents themselves so I can laugh and laugh (well, you get the idea). =)
