Re: GTKY...
Age: 32
Occupation:High school English teacher
Things you really like:let's see... I love shopping for clothes, shoes, purses, makeup. I love playing with makeup. I've recently become obsessed with watching makeup tutorials on youtube.

What's your favorite tv show?Definitely "The Big Bang Theory." And when it's on, I love "Big Brother."
What's your favorite music?Well, I love country music the most. Blake Shelton, George Strait, Jake Owen, Billy Currington... mmmm what's not to love, lol. But I also love Jack Johnson and music that sounds like that. I am also a tad obsessed with Britney Spears, lol. Don't judge me, lol.
What's your favorite book?Ok, let me just say I couldn't possibly begin to list all the books I love and why I love them. Reading is my passion, and that's why I'm an English teacher. I will have to say that one book I teach my students every year and I cry every single time because I identify with the main character so much is Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. If you haven't read it, omg, you need to! It's absolutely poetic and musical the way it is written. And the main character's journey to find love and instead found herself, omg, I could go on and on....
A few other random facts: I have 9 tattoos, but they are all usually covered. I am a Taurus and pretty much fit the bill. I am a die hard LSU Tigers fan because I am not just a fan, I am an alumnus, lol. I love red velvet cake. M and Ms are my favorite candy. I could eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
What about you???
