Hello. I am an American living in Seoul and no, I am not an English Teacher for a Hagwon (School) in Korea. Although, I do have an English degree. I'm a paper pusher...Sometimes I feel like a clerk for the Circumlocution Office (from Dicken's Little Dorrit). I write a lot but mostly correspondence and memorandums. I write an occasional food or travel article and copy edit for an Expat Magazine in Korea as a favor to my friend who is the magazine's Editor.:)  

I am from Jersey City, New Jersey (Exit 14B), so sometimes "the Ghetto Girl" comes out... (Sorry if I get blunt in my reviews... or get carried away.). I sometimes can't control "The Jersey" influence. 

I love to read... and I love Regency and Victorian Authors such as Elizabeth Gaskell, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and the Bronte Sisters... North and South and Emma are my FAV due to the smart, principled, caring, strong, proud and yet naive (i.e. blind) female characters...Margaret Hale and Emma Woodhouse ... :) yay.  

I also like SCI-FI Shows like Equilibrium, Continuum, Lost Girls, Far Scape...and my favorite "FIRE FLY". Yes, I am a Browncoat :) with Warehouse 13 as a close second.
