The first thing I did when I woke up this morning was pour myself a cup of day-old coffee, sip, grimace, then make a fresh pot of coffee.

My parents raised me in the Midwest. I say "ope" and "welp".

I hate snakes.

I'm a music teacher.

I can sing every single word off the album "Jagged Little Pill". I can also quote every single line from "The Princess Bride".

Peaches are disgusting.

I am a Christian. I am often told by strangers that God hates me. I'm okay with that.

I'm pretty much convinced that if you met my husband, you would automatically become a better person. He spends 8 hours a day saving veterans in mental health crises. He'd go around the world and back again if he knew that act would make your day better.

I love fishing.

I have two little sisters.

I have never been to jail. I have never owned a gun. I hate that anyone might possibly be afraid of me.

I'm a proud woman.

I'm a proud trans woman.

I just wanted you to know me a bit better before you call the cops.
