| Name: | Erin | |
| Location: | Bowling Green, Ohio, United States | |
| Bio: | Basic Information: I'm a 27-year-old female from Spokane, Washington. Graduate school brings me to Bowling Green, Ohio. I'm a Gemini. Very much so. I'm mostly Irish and Italian, with some other stuff thrown in for good measure. Translation: I like to drink, argue and eat foods high in carbs. I earned my B.A. in English from Eastern Washington University and am currently enrolled in a continuing M.A./Ph.D. program at Bowling Green State University. This is a big deal to me personally, since I'm the first person in my family to earn any college degree. The notion of graduate school scares the crap out of me, but it's essential to my long-term life goals. My greatest passion is teaching composition to university students. Teaching is the most dynamically challenging and rewarding thing I have ever done, and I hope to continue teaching, learning, and learning to teach for the rest of my working life. I write about this a lot. I love cats. Especially Baxter (my spoiled tabby), and Holden, my husband's spoiled pile of white carpet-like fur. Please understand that this journal is not designed to be a great work of literature. It's not trendy, either. It's a personal journal. This is where I write about things that are going on in my daily life and release the clutter from my (highly overactive) brain. I am required by many other life endeavors to be meticulous about spelling/grammar/content. This is not one of them. Frequently Mentioned Persons (FMPs): My husband, Clint (aka ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} chamelion); he and I have been together since 2000 and finally got married on August 27, 2004. You can see some of our wedding pictures at the following link: http://pics.livejournal.com/erinpoo/gallery/00002qttI also have many real-life friends and family members on LiveJournal and am glad that I live in an age where we can so easily stay connected through the Mighty World Wide Web, even if we don't write each other as often as we should. Hobbies/Interests: My current hobby of choice is scrapbooking, even though I'm still a novice. I also enjoy photography, writing (duh), board games, camping, wasting time on the computer, and the usual recreational stuff that everyone likes, like movies. Feel free to recommend your favorite books, even though my English degree gives me a license to hate reading. And to make up words. And to write in fragments. Green is my favorite color, but I don't like green peppers. I'm addicted to Diet Coke. I quit smoking on May 7, 2006. This is a battle that I must win. I love the holidays, but hate winter. I have an irrational fear of spiders.  What rating is your journal? brought to you by Quizilla | |
