Bio:i used to be a business analyst and software tester in the auto insurance industry. i made pretty good money, and got pretty well burnt out. i gradually became aware that i wasn't going to make it in a corporate environment, so i quit and decided to go back to grad school to get a masters in english education. i was a middle school language arts teacher for a year, then i got knocked up. no, i'm not a grammar nazi, because i'm not perfect, but if my 7th graders had it right, it's something you probably should have mastered.
now i hang out with my husband, because he works from home. i am a SAHM. wow- that's something i never thought i'd say (write).
i've got a pretty lucky and low key life. our first child was born on March 23rd, 2008.




Revolutionary Dreams

i used to dream militant
dreams of taking
over america to show
these white folks how it should be done
i used to dream radical dreams
of blowing everyone away with my perceptive powers
of correct analysis
i even used to think i'd be the one
to stop the riot and negotiate the peace
then i awoke and dug
that if i dreamed natural
dreams of being a natural
woman doing what a woman does when she's natural
i would have a revolution

--Nikki Giovanni
