E. Rat: San Francisco, California, United States; I teach school. I like big words and shiny objects. I am actually quite good at teaching school. I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

I like clothes. I have had this blog for a long time. Now that blogs are dead I'm reviving it. This is kind of like teaching, honestly.
