Obsessively Self Reflecting...

| Bio: | I am a mildly obsessive compulsive English teacher at a Bay Area high school. I have a long history of tardiness, procrastination, verbosity, and lonerish/cynical/hyper-self-conscious tendencies. I consider myself a bibliophile, because I practically take my books into the shower with me--which makes me generally a pretty anti-social person, except when I'm drunk, then I become one of those idiotic extroverted people. I listen to "This American Life" pretty much every weekend, and am an indie film fanatic, and spend my freetime updating my Netflix queue. I have remained somewhat loyal to my activist causes, that is, public schools and education, feminism (that's right boys, come and get me), and hapa or mixed-race issues. Admittedly, I am usually the most intoxicated during social outings. And I also rely heavily on the Magic Eight Ball for emotional/spiritual direction. |
