I like rich colors, transnational feminism, composting, cookies, stretching, my pretend band, chai, African sun, and cranberry juice. I avoid my students if happen to run into them on Brit Pop Night at the Goth club. Who wants to answer questions about final exams when dancing to the Pet Shop Boys? Movement makes me happy - movement with words, movement with thoughts, movement via laughter, relationships, airplanes. I suffocate in stillness and stagnation, and so make large sacrifices all year to spend months at a time in new and totally alien places. I already like you. Especially if you make good burritos.
