OkCupid: עכשיו באנגלית
I absolutely love my job
teaching biology to high school students. The
other day I told a joke to my AP Biology students and they laughed
so hard two of them fell completely out of their desks. It was such
a great moment. When I'm not having fun working I like to do
anything
outdoors,
watch sports,
read,
dance, and
travel. I'm not much of a tv person, but
I can get hooked on a show if I'm watching it with someone who is
passionate about that particular show.
I get along with everyone and have friends with many different
interests, but I seem to gel best with people who at least
appreciate nature/science/biology. It's what I spend 70% of my time
thinking about so it only makes sense.

I'm trying to change the world one teenager at a time. Yes, it's a
work of the heart. Am I making any progress? Maybe. One of my
former students just had a plant species named after him. Of
course, one of my current students just asked me if I believed in
global warming after we spent four weeks learning about it. This is
the same kid who got sick from downing a bottle of tabasco sauce
after his friends offered him $5 to do it. So I'm not really that
upset. Of the two, plant kid or tabasco kid, I'm sure tabasco kid
will be our next president so the idea of him accepting global
warming in the first place is futile.

my eyes. A female acquaintance once said they were Precious Moments
eyes. It's still my most favorite compliment that I've ever
received.

Movies: The Cutting Edge ("we're doing the Pamchenko!"), Baraka,
and anything with slightly off color humor (e.g. Knocked Up or
Forgetting Sarah Marshall).
Books: The Time Traveler's Wife, Disappointment With God, The
Origin of Species
Music: Ray LaMontagne, Patti Griffin, Nelly Furtado, it changes
often
Food: I've been vegetarian for 10 years, but lately I've been
slipping. I was forced by peer pressure to eat clam chowder during
a recent trip to Boston (yum!!!) and now I'm moving to Maryland. I
can't imagine it will be too long before I am "forced" to have
lobster (scratch that - I've been told it's blue crabs in Maryland
not lobster).

love. I finally realize what love is after many years of looking
for it in all the wrong ways. I recently went home to visit my
family and the night before I was to fly back home I went to
Wal-mart and bought some magazines and my favorite candy, Runts,
for the plane ride home. I left them sitting out on the kitchen
counter and went to bed. The next day my mom drove me to the
airport and we said goodbye. I got on the plane and about half-way
though the trip I got out my box of Runts. Have you ever heard of
Runts? They're fruit shaped candy pieces - cherries (yum!),
oranges, limes, and bananas (yuck!). Who eats banana flavored
candy? I hate the bananas and always take them out. When I was a
kid I used to force my mom to eat the banana ones because I thought
they were gross. Anyway, I got about a quarter of the way through
the box when I realized I hadn't come across a single banana! I
couldn't believe it. Did the candy company finally wise up and stop
making the disgusting banana ones? I looked on the cover of the box
- nope - there were the little cartoon dancing bananas on the
cover. So that couldn't be it. And then it finally hit me. I turned
the box upside down and there it was, a piece of tape. Sometime
during the night when I was in bed asleep, my mom had opened the
box of runts, dumped out all the candy, and then sat there and
picked out all the bananas. Once she had removed all the bananas
she put the candy back into the box and taped it shut. Sitting on
the plane I finally realized what loving someone is really about.
When you truly love someone you want to remove all the "bananas"
from their life. You want to do everything you can (even the
littlest things) to make them happy.
