Let's see...I'm a 21-year-old college senior majoring in English and philosophy. I'm planning on going straight into my Masters of Education and then teaching English for a couple years each in England, Australia, France, and Germany before heading back to the States. I don't speak German, so I'm planning on teaching on a U.S. military base there, but I'd love to teach the general public anywhere I can speak the language.

Couple things about me: I love reading, writing, dancing, and playing my ukulele. I also love to watch Chuck, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis.

If anyone's wondering, my pen name comes from the fact that I was born in a fairly small town of about 2,000. I was raised on 20 acres about 5 miles outside of town, so I'm not a city girl, but not a true farm girl either. I'm not sure "pixie" applies to me since I'm 5'8, but all of my other choices were taken.

The vacant mind is ever on the watch for relief, and ready to plunge into error, to escape from the languor of idleness. Store it with ideas, teach it the pleasure of thinking; and the temptations of the world without, will be counteracted by the gratifications derived from the world within. - Ann Radcliffe

Everyone is a bore to someone. That is unimportant. The thing to avoid is being a bore to onself. - Gerald Brenan

I saw a very small girl walking up a hill and carrying an infant boy on her shoulders and said to her, "This boy is too heavy for you." "Not at all," replied the girl, "he's my brother." - Anonymous
