I'm named after the daughter of one of the Chicago Seven. I'm addicted to frozen yogurt. I love acting silly with my friends - especially in inappropriate places. I have no sense of direction and am notoriously late to everything. I constantly run into freaks and have crazy conversations with them. A homeless man in the park once showed me how to skateboard. It's probably not a good thing, but friends have told me that I sometimes act like Seinfeld characters- I have crazy schemes and I used to lock my door so I could take naps in my office.

Likes: dancing, listening to NPR, playing in the ocean for hours, attempting to surf, playing with little kids and dogs, fresh basil and tomatoes from the farmer's market, good friends, kissing, skipping when I'm happy (Yes I really do this), smelling flowers,symmetry, peppermint patties, daring people to do disgusting things for a dollar, talkin' trash at Celtics games
-
Dislikes: people who smoke in front of children, smelly people, slow walkers in front of me, waking up early(hard to avoid as a teacher), people who cut in front of me in line, rainy days, snow (unless school is cancelled), evil cats, Leprachauns (they scare me!)

My newest: Leonard Cohen. Did you hear his interview on Fresh Air? It was pretty funny!

Stevie Wonder, Robin Williams,Steve Martin, Larry David, people who can teach me to snowboard and cook, nonsmokers, people who understand why I say "Howdy Partner" with an Indian accent, and interesting people who like to have fun and aren't worried about making fools out of themselves.

Also -cute boys with even cuter dogs
