I live in Tampa, but I'm going to be moving to New Hampshire in mid-December (I just wanted to set this up so I can start meeting some new people before I get back up there). I moved to Florida in January 2005, and after about five years it's time for me to return to my roots. I'm looking forward to being close to family and friends again, but I'm not excited about moving back to the cold. I live for camping, roadtrips, festies, and hiking. I want to teach high school history next year. I think I'd be good at it and having summers off would give me the chance to do a little traveling and allow me to get back into creative writing.
