Q: What is your biggest pet peeve?

Q: One thing about you that would surprise people?
A: Most people here would be surprised that I used to be an English teacher and that I was very good at it. While I am certainly able to speak and write grammatically correct, standard formal English, I proudly speak Southern English in everyday conversation. I had a professor once told me, ?English is a living growing language. It changes everyday.? I have found this to be true (especially since the word ?conversate? is now in the dictionary) and do not wish the dialect and idioms of my wonderful Southern home to disappear. I am not fixin? to let that happen. That?s the right thing to do, idin?t it? J
Q: One thing you would change about yourself?
A: I am actually quite a shy person. I would like to be more social and spontaneous. I would also like my lips back.
Q: Favorite memory from childhood or school?
A: I used to love singing and making up songs and games with my brothers, spending summers on Greers Ferry Lake and at the cabin in Fox with my family and staying over at my grandparents? house. I also loved Girl Scout Kamp Kiwani!!!
