For breakfast, I really, really love organic peanut-butter and homemade-jelly toast; there really isn't much better to eat in the AM.

Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli, is a massively important book to me; I even have a tattoo in it's honor.

Last spring, I saw Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio; though Titanic kind of turned me off to him, I'm finding I do mostly like his movies.

I set my alarm for 5:30 on school days, but normally, I don't crawl myself out of bed until about 6:00 (or sometimes later:).

I really like living in Mt. Pleasant, but this summer I spent some time in Northern Lower Michigan, and I think I'd really like to try a stint up there.

1968, the year I was born, is the year I should have turned 20; I have hippy running through my blood. >>>>>The 1960s are the greatest decade in American history. The Civil Right's Movement and the Women's Rights Movement were in full swing, changing the face of America forever and for the better. People in general, and young people in particular were beginning to question authority instead of just blindly following their leadership. Most excellently, the sounds of the '60s began a musical revolution whose effects can still be felt today. America became a stronger nation for the events of the 1960s.

School was such an exciting idea to me that I could barely wait for my first day at of kindergarten at Orchard Hills Elementary.

I know I should say that English was always my favorite subject, but I actually was a bit of a Math geek back in the day.

Could you imagine being Barack Obama, and making such an impact on the world?

It may sound sappy, but I can't even dream of a better job than teaching ELA to a bunch of squirrely 8th graders.
