I'm a doctoral student in literature, and I specialize in nineteenth century American novels and spending my student loans on travel that I can't actually afford. My favorite things are live music, meeting new buddies, my cat Pearl, and my dog Tilly.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite book is Moby-Dick, and I have been known to get pretentious about books when left unattended. I love all kinds of music except for songs by whiny dudes.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I had my fortune read in Tamale (Northern Ghana) in 2009, and all of it came true.
Teach, Learn, Share
teach: I've been teaching literature and writing at UT for the past few years, but I can teach you some minor useless skills like tap dancing, crafts, and basic piano. learn: anything other than hard life lessons, please. share: friends, drinks, pictures of my pets.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm pretty fun and up for pretty much anything, and I have four different video game consoles. I suck at cooking and cleaning, but I'm good at telling jokes.
