I am crazy about English literature and poetry, with Austen, Shakespeare and Wilde at the top of my list. I adore classic 80s alternative: my tops are The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, and New Order.
I love to be outdoors a la Thoreau: I love walking, hiking, sighseeing, camping, and such. Not a triathlete, but not a couch potato, either.
I am a treehugger, and an animal lover. I stick my nose in a book any time I can, but love crime shows with a brain, too: Bones, Dexter, Criminal Minds.
I love art museums, but don't mind a roller coaster or a goofy tourist attraction now and again. Huge history buff, and love to stop at any historical sights, but living history museums are my favorite: I worked at Mystic Seaport Museum for 6 years.
Am a teacher with a Master's in English Ed. Also score SAT essays and TOEIC online, and teach Chinese students English via Skype.
I love to laugh, and am crazy about ethnic foods and experiences. Lived in Colombia, speak French and Spanish, and work at a Seminole tribal school
God, I would LOVE to find someone who comes even close to sharing my pursuits. There is so much more I would love to add, but getting to know each other is half the fun!
